On friendster testimonials…
There was a time when people would send you long-winded testimonials. Nowadays, testimonials have also become known as comments, and they have “evolved” into a concise commentary on random things that may not even be related to the recipient. Anyone who still does that long-winded stuff will be laughed at being “so 2003!” Progress has a funny way of making people lazier. Being fair, I have to say some of those verbose testimonials were awful and cheesy, but I’m not going to deny that I miss receiving them despite their poor writing qualities.
And you know what? All these have nothing to do with what I’m about to post. There goes another evidence of sloppy and unprepared writing very prevalent in the internet. But what can I do when I’m so bored that I couldn’t think of anything thoughtful to say? I was so bored with my lack of tasks that, few minutes before posting this entry, I’ve been reading my friendster testimonials. That’s like, 15 pages of unmitigated waste-of-times (but, in an awesome sort of way). After going through ALL that, I kind of feel better than before, so I guess all those effort did not go to waste if only because they were able to bring a smile on my face and cheer me up.
Maybe this is a good time to reread all your testimonials. Yeah, try it. Might bring back fond memories. And while you’re at it, maybe this is a good time to send people a few comments too.
