GOODBYE FRIENDSTER?!?



The Social Networking Site who started it all.. FRIENDSTER! Now waving its hand to say goodbye to its friends.. :(

I first learned about Friendster back in college, in 2003. It was introduced to me by a classmate and my close friend as well. He told me that he's enjoying meeting cute and nice girls on that social networking site. I even laughed at him about it and tease him for those girls. But eventually, i signed up for an account.

Everybody's talking about Friendster back then. Meeting other people from all walks of life was easier  in just a click of add as a friend. Customizing of profiles was super fun! I even started blogging through Friendster blogs in 2004.

In 2009, i decided to delete my Friendster account. Reason? I got bored. And because Facebook has given me a dynamic approach in social networking. And the rest is history.

And now, although Friendster is not closing down, they are about to CHANGE their platform as a game application on Facebook. They have admitted that their reign was over.

It is always a life cycle. Things fades through time. Somebody will be better than the new one. It is somehow a challenge to be creative and innovative not to be left behind. And even so, adaptation must be the best way to overcome such. And that's what is happening now to Friendster.



Goodbye social networking site Friendster! Hello to game application FRIENDSTER! :)

PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: ON STRANGER TIDES, a review

Image
This is the fourth installment of The Pirates of the Caribbean movie series. As usual, Johnny played his humorous clever type of a pirate who loves adventures and mysteries. In this film, Jack Sparrow was joined by Angelica (Penelope Cruz) who was his imposter in search for the Fountain of Youth. Angelica is Jack's former lover who happens to be the daughter of the ruthless pirate Blackbeard. This man posseses several magical powers, including the ability to shrink other ships down to miniature size and contain them within bottles. Blackbeard forces Jack to join his crew and lead them to the Fountain to circumvent a prophecy that a one-legged man will soon kill Blackbeard. Meanwhile, Gibbs, who memorized, then destroyed Sparrow's map, joins Barbossa's crew in order to beat Blackbeard and the Spanish to the Fountain. And so the adventure begins for Jack Sparrow and the whole gang.. This movie runs pretty long so, you better bring extra food and drinks when you watch this. I

SM City Calamba Grand Opening

Image
It was a TGIF, when SM City Calamba had its grand opening located along the busy road of Real. i remember when i blog about it back in December 21, 2009 where it is still on its first month of construction. I am totally impressed about SM's wikipedia info of its target opening date, which is October of 2010 because they absolutely hit it! Of course, how can i miss that opening? our house is just 5 minutes away from the mall.. though we were'nt able to get our feet stepped in as early, atleast we managed to. ;) The people were so overwhelming, and a huge foot traffic covers all the floors of the mall. It's like we're on a rally or something.. like an Edsa revolution, where we cant barely move as we try to walk around. Worst thing? It took us ages to get a table to eat, because all of the food places were jampacked! customers should even have to wait for the long queue of the restaurants just to have lunch. it's like everybody was there! But then, good thing that we
