star-crossed melodies

it’s good for friendster to add a blogging facilities in its service. although it’s not sophisticated enough and still a little bit less customizable compared to that of blogger’s (i only know this), it’s quite good and satisfying for my blogging needs.

the thing is, when i visited my friend’s blog on friendster (and the other way around: a friend of mine visited my blog), the visitors needed to log in to friendster first before they could post any comment there. for, perhaps, some friendster users which check on their account regularly everytime they’re online, that might not be a big problem. but it could be quite a troublesome for those who doesn’t want to log in to friendster just to leave one or two comments in their friend’s blog.

secondly, when you’re quite bugged with that limitation, you can’t help to do anything about it. i mean, if you are using editable blog like in Blogger , you can add your own commenting system such as HaloScan . By using this third party commenting system, the comments posted by people who visited your blog will be stored in haloscan’s server so if something happened with your blog, the comments won’t go away. But of course, is something happened with haloscan itself, there would be a slight chance that the comments will disppear.

my point is, friendster’s blog isn’t customizable enough. i couldn’t change a part of the layout, that means, if i wanted to change the layout of my blog, i had to change the whole thing by choosing one from the template instead of just editing the html itself. secondly about the commenting as i said earlier. thirdly? nah, i haven’t thought about it yet.

so, i think that friendster should just eliminate that function and upgrade it so that anyone can post their comments in the blog. it’s easier and faster that way.

"bad move, man! bad move!!"

and i was like,"what is it? what’s the matter?"

"what i can underline from this week’s performance is that…you totally screwed up despite good start and steady flow of days," saying with quite a lot of anger within.

calming myself for a bit then i continued, "i must admit that days during last week was rather peaceful. i didn’t have any significant encounters nor engagements," so i said.

"that is where you’re wrong, my friend! that’s just why. let me review it for you, shall i?"

with a slight nod i answered.

"you see, i can’t deny that you had a fresh and nice start during last week endeavour. and to tell you the truth, last week flow of days was actually quite steady compared to those days after the final engagement event. but the tide started to change since thursday. you remember? the turning point was at that day when after the dusk, you were sitting there playing with your handphone and suddenly…the glimpse, passed," sinister look could be seen in the face.

"oh…that. well uh, yes. i did saw her. and it was indeed devastating," with a sigh came out.

"see! that one small thing could change everything! and when you thought that everything was peaceful and you won’t have to confront that feeling again. at first you were happy since you were waiting to have a feast at that night. but after you saw her…it totally changed. changed to the very tiny itsy bitsy soul component inside! i could see how you, once you saw her…just for a second, started to panic and tried to run around, walking back and forth with no clear destination. and after that event, you completely lost everything. the spirit, that is. evidence: the feast that night was cancelled, you didn’t do the assignment for the very next day and you didn’t attend class for the very next day. you’re trying to run away," slightly screaming.

"i…was…not…! i was just…being lazy. that’s all. i thought it would be good to have an extra sleep once in a while. it was such a troublesome event and i needed some troublesome time to enjoy myself before getting back to everything that’s needed to be done," added i.

"dude! forget shining jasmine. ditch the topic! it is now the time to commence the october essence! there might be a slight hope that we will succeed."

"october…essence…?" inquiring myself.
