It has been evident that friendster was not working well (or at least as it should be) for days. Whenever I tried to visit friendster, it was either the connection timed out or friendster was undergoing temporary maintenance. There were instances however when you could sneak into friendster and miraculously login. But that was it. After a few seconds, you won’t be able to do anything again. What troubled me most was the fact that friendster, the most widely-used social networking site in the Philippines, is taking too long to fix the issues and they eventually got worse and worse.

Yesterday, I was able to access my friendster account and it didn’t come as a surprise to me that I only have 29 friends left from 400+ worth of friends. I’m no friendster addict, but I use it from time to time too because I wanted to keep in touch with friends I have left behind in Stella Maris Academy of Davao as well as some acquaintances. I have been a friendster user since early 2004, by the power of persuasion of Thessa Virrey. I was in 4th Grade then, 1 more month until the schoolyear ends. I believe friendster doesn’t have yet the most stable servers and most technical team but there still is room for improvement right?

I am still rooting for Friendster, the most-widely used social networking site in the Philippines which has a user-friendly interface. (Obviously I have nothing to blog about!)

Hmm. I’m looking for a new host right now since I can no longer afford expensive stuff. I was lucky enough to come across Rigrag!

It’s the best hosting company I’ve ever known - they offer packages that are so cheap that you’d wonder why they even sell it. They have budget plans, shared hosting plans, master reseller plans, TMI plans (a special plan), subdomain plans, and custom hosting plans. They have a customer support to kill for and they value ideas from customers. They also offer special packages every month. It truly is the best host and I’m planning to move there.

I hope many of you bloggers out there would take time to check out this awesome hosting company! They’re currently on a MASSIVE SALE so their plans have been so cheap right now. This host also donates a part of the payment they receive from customers to charity. This is no scam guys, rigrag has been around the net for a while and I’ve heard so many positive and overwhelming feedback about them.

What would you do if…

1. You have the best voice and a 5-octave vocal range
-I would be home-schooled and I would pursue my singing career. I would work in theater, broadway, and I would start off in a dubbing career and singing soundtracks of the best disney films. I would then become a back-up singer of one of the best voices in the world and next thing I’d know- I would be discovered by a talent manager. I would be asked to sing in front of record company executives, and I would be signing a contract with Jive Records. I would collaborate with artists such as Timbaland and Chris Brown. And the rest would be history!

2. I would win $100 million
- I would deposit $90 million to the bank which would offer the highest interest rate. Ahmm I would spend the $10 million in the Philippines. I would buy some properties for my farm and I would also buy house and lots for extra income (I’d probably put it up for lease) and I’d start up small businesses that would be more attractive to the mass. I don’t know maybe rent-a-car, wet market (lol), PUJs, or a grocery store perhaps.

3. You were the smartest person alive
- I would be an author, a scientist, inventor, producer, author, director or whatever. I would do anything that would be fun for me and that would be able to help save the world. I’d first invent stuff that could help minimize pollution and can stop the destruction of the ozone layer. Ain’t it hot enough already??! I can’t think of anything else.. Haha!

So feel free to answer back in your comment or blog if you have thoughts.
