Friendster Blog is Freaky and Weird!

What’s up with Friendster blog? I just finished updating my blog and then all of a sudden, it transformed itself into a Wordpress blog!!

I am writing this post using the new Friendster with Wordpress platform! How come I’m the only one who seem to have noticed?! But I’m not making this up!

What’s more, is that Friendster or Wordpress seem to be mum about it. There is no news about this whole thing at all!! I almost feel like somebody’s playing a joke at me! What coincidence that the very day I finally logged in to my Friendster account and update my profile and blog, Friendster changes is platform from Typepad to Wordpress! That’s the freaky part.

The weird part is that, now I seem to have TWO URLs for my Friendster blog. One is the original, untouched layout which I managed to have updated one last time before it transformed into Wordpress. And this!! Click on the two and compare the URLs!! Weird. The old one writes: sinigang.blogs.friendster.com/sinigang/ while the new one writes: sinigang.blog.friendster.com/

I couldn’t even tell initially the difference between the two! I can’t access the old blog anymore! I’m not sure how…

In Case I disappear again, You’ll Know Where to Find Me…

Filipino_quotes_1Postcardcollector_1I have not logged in on my Friendster account for almost a year!! Initially, it was just because I got really busy and then I discovered, there is a whole new world in the Internet: it’s called BLOGGING!

I know I have been blogging in Friendster since 2005 but if you read more on my ABOUT page, you’ll know why I jumped out of Friendster blog. I’m writing this and I’m having a hard time trying to figure out Typepad again- I had gotten so used to using Blogger and Wordpress platforms- this is driving me nuts! I couldn’t even make the images move to the center. I want the images to be in the center, it won’t let me…

The Friendster blog is so limited in features, I encourage everyone blogging here to jump ship too! You’d have to discover the wonders and ease of use blogging in Blogger or Wordpress- the best part is, you can monetize your blogs! Friendster is raking in too much cash from the ads appearing on our blogs here! Our profile and everything else on Friendster is FULL of ads as it is, they couldn’t spare this one.

I can help you get started. Visit the sites above and if you like them and want one or something like it, contact me! I won’t charge alot, consultation is even free! :-)

So secondly when I got adjusted to blogging, I wanted to update my Friendster profile and for some reason I couldn’t log in. I thought for sure, my account is hijacked or something. And then I went for a long vacation in California and the Philippines! I was away for a total of three months!! I had a blast. I have not been back to the Philippines in 4 years, I was loving every minute and savoring every moment!

And then I was back to reality. Things are getting normal.

To all the birthdays I missed on my friend’s list: Happy BIRTHDAY! Hope it was happy!

To those who sent their birthday greetings on mine: BIG THANK YOU FOR remembering.

To all the messages I got which I may or not respond to because most of them are months old: Thanks for your concern. I’m alive! I asked my family to publish an obituary in case, so you’ll know- no need to worry. Yay, didn’t mean to sound morbid!

To all the spam junk forwarded messages: err, I didn’t really want them but thanks for spamming?? why? why would you send them to me? i don’t want to die from not doing anything it says (if I do, I’m gonna hold you accountable)! ;-)

Now, you know where to find me when I disappear again…
