Weblog Wannabe

Sound Memory Game is like the good old-fashioned memory game, only instead of memorising pictures, you get to memorise sounds. It's fun. I rocked at the easiest level but sucked at the hardest. Typical of me. ♥

Awww. I'm on Mizdos' list of People Whom I Would Give a Bloggie To. (if i ruled the world.) How sweet is that? At least someone is glad I won :) Thanks, Mizdos! ♥

What's your Spirit? Mine is Spirit of Contemplation. "You're not sure where you fit in this world right now, and maybe you never will." Damn. I am not sure where I fit in in this world, but I thought I'd be able to find my place in this world someday. That would suck if it was true. ♥

This is kind of an old link, but what the heck. How to read the manual as suggested by Microsoft. It's kind of funny. (And yes, it's a hack.) ♥

Remember that news about a very unfortunate groom who was suffocated to death by a stripper's massive breasts? Of course you do. Everyone and his mother blogged about it not too long ago. Well, guess what? It turned up to be a hoax. Gotcha! ♥

Since "Best Asian Weblog" is a dry weblog award category (no prize!), can I at least get your congratulations for winning or am I really *that* undeserving? *sobs* ♥

Thursday Morning Haiku

My last day online
I won a weblog award
Thanks for voting me!

Weblog Wannabe once again won the "Best Asian Weblog" category in the Bloggies. I must admit that I'm not as thrilled about winning as I was last year. Maybe one should win this kind of award only once in their lifetime. But still, I thank you very much for voting me, for thinking that I was (still) worth your vote after all the cranky and depressing posts I made over the year. That was really sweet of you :) Thank you!

If you are wondering if the Bloggies are just a popularity contest, just compare my Blogdex theory with the final results, and draw your own conclusion. If you want a weblog award for yourself, get one from my award-o-matic. You deserve it :)

And yeah, today is my last day online for awhile. Send me a snail mail or a postcard or something. My mailing address is in the right sidebar. Your mail will make my longing for the cyberworld a bit bearable.

(Pssst, Jordan, if you're online, please message me. I need your advice on some life or death matter. Thanks!) ♥

You know what? I just realised that I didn't get to do last minute Bloggie vote begging this morning like most of the other finalists, thanks to the dumb ISP that wouldn't let me log in until later in the day. I just hope that someone did vote for me, because I didn't vote for myself. Never did, never will. I have nothing againt those who self-nominate and/or self-vote, but I personally think that if you did that and you won, the victory wouldn't taste as sweet :) Now 'fess up, did anyone vote for me? Anybody? ♥

Some people seem to put a lot of effort into their 404 page. 404lounge showcases the most beautiful 404 pages of the internet. You'll want to have one of your own after visiting the site. I had a custom 404 page back in my old server but I still haven't got around to creating it here in my new server. Well, maybe tomorrow, if I have time.

Squirrel Golf is a fun game (especially if you're not too into squirrels), but I sucked at it because you need to do some colour matching in order to score and as you know, my silly monitor is colour blind. Bummer.

Here's another weblog that could use a permalink feature. Commercial takeover, huh? Yeah, why not. Let me do a web review column in your newspaper for only $300 per month and I promise I'll rock! ;) I've always wanted to be a newspaper columnist. I think it's one of the coolest occupations in the world.

Which Final Fantasy 7 dude are you? I'm Rufus, who apparently is intelligent, well-dressed, and a neglected child. Hmm, that surely doesn't sound like me.

Sorry, not many things are blogworthy today. ♥

They say a picture speaks a thousand words. The picture below speaks 4,800 bps.



How slow can you go? ♥

Wednesday Night Haiku

Endless pouring rain
And flood-induced traffic jam
It is really cold.

In Jakarta, the temperature gets between 23-27°C. It should be even cooler where I live. It must be under 20°C. Brrr. Yeah, I know most of you are used to below 0°C temperature, but hey, I live in a tropical country where it's supposed to be warm and sunny all the time!

Anyway, my ISP's been driving me crazy. I've been getting disconnected every 15 minutes. It's so annoying. I kind of miss my old ISP but I can't afford it anymore. The ISP I've been using these last couple of months is also the phone company. It's relatively cheaper but so damn slow. I guess you get what you pay for. Oh well.

Tomorrow will be my last day online until I get the money to pay the phone/internet bill. Let's mourn! Or something. ♥

Hey, it's me, Firda. You know, your favourite weblogger? (Yeah, right.) My phone line hasn't been cut off yet, but the dumb ISP has been playing up. Last night I couldn't go anywhere outside their own network. This morning the server kept on rejecting my password. Grrr. But I'm here now and I'm gonna post some links that I managed to find when I was online very early in the morning after the dumb ISP stopped restricting my access and before it started rejecting my password:

I just found this one several minutes ago when I was checking my site referrers. It's one of the sweetest things anyone ever wrote about me. So sweet, it brought tears to my eyes. (So I'm a crybaby, just shoot me.) Thanks so much for caring, Wren, and also for making my day! :)

If Tom had a permalink, I'd point you to the post where he dubbed my silly post on Bloggies-Blogdex relationship "the most interesting contribution to the debate on the Bloggies so far". Well, who would've thought? ;) All I knew was that after writing that post, I got a terrible headache which lasted all night. Bad karma?

Remember that silly Googlewhack game that was strangely popular last week? Well, now there's a Googlewhacker 74 Zillion that will make your search for the One somewhat easier. Too bad it's only limited to 2 search keywords. That way you still have to go to Google to find out if, say, "curly mullet rambutan" is a Googlewhack or not.

Calculate duration between your birthday and today and find out how long you have lived. Today is my 10,525th day of wasting earth's resources. That surely sounds like a huge waste of time. I've lived that long but I still haven't accomplished anything. Well, except for earning a prominent wannabe status (read: #1 Google search result for "wannabe"). But who'd want to have that status?

Ever wondered what it would be like to share a name with writer Stephen King? Being Stephen King has stories from the less famous Stephen Kings and how they tackle the annoying question, "Are you the real Stephen King?" Well, of course they are the real Stephen Kings! Not being famous doesn't make them any less real, n'est ce pas?

Bored or just feel like whacking something with a hammer? Play Whack-A-Duck. It's fun for about two minutes. I managed to score 86 out of 100. I rock!

What animal best portrays your sexual appetite? I'm a cold dead fish. Couldn't agree more. Heh.
