Consistency is the last refuge of the unimaginative. – Oscar Wilde
If I hate being tagged before, I say I love this now. I hope that explains this 360 degrees turn. But don’t get any weird ideas – because I’m doing this only for Bingkee.
Here goes:
1. My birthday is still months away. September. I can make it earlier, say tomorrow if you humor me with a gift of love: Kindle2 e-reader. Not only can it store more than 1,500 books it is also a book-buying machine – this e-reader can download new book releases. No more hassle of going to bookstores. And the blurb says your kindle 2 can access online publications and blogs. Wow.
2. I have to make allowances because of the economic downturn. Job losses everywhere. Gosh, it’s pretty bleak out there. That means I can live with paperback or hardbound books. I’d earnestly pray for the eternal repose of those dead trees, I promise.
3. Moleskine notebooks for my note-taking. So I can jot down ideas for blog posts. And list blog authors who cross me. I read them faithfully – okay I skip a post or two – and each time makes a perfect cartwheel on their blog, bang my head against the wall so I can be induced to comment if a particular post intrigues me. But some bloggers conduct their business with their heads in the clouds. No time for a sweaty pedestrian like me. Nothing. Might have found a warmer welcome in an Eskimo’s igloo.
4. But that’s okay, nothing that a sturdy notebook can dispel. What do I need it for?
5. So I can blog in style – drink coffee in Paris, visit some museums, and learn to cuss in French.
6. Or visit the beaches in Thailand.
7. Buy danggit and seafood and delicacies in Cebu.
8. But I’m realistic and just your regular guy. So I can settle for more sleep and good health to maintain stamina in blogging.
9. And a fully functioning brain so I can be receptive to new blog ideas. And a little deviousness too to make my efforts less cloying.
10. And yes, less tagging so I can get on reading other blogs, for pete’s sake.
With much glee, I’m tormenting ten blogger friends so they can post 10 birthday wishes as well. It says so in the tag rules. Don’t bury your head in the sand, I know perfectly well who you are. Those who have it coming are as follows:
1. Elizabeth – All About Elizabeth
2. Jade – Xprosaic
3. Caryn – Sari-saring Kulay
4. Marites -Believe and Achieve
5. Gagay – Walking Newspaper
6. Jason – Pinoy Updates
7. Adrian – Auditoire
8. Normand -The Blogger Next Door
9. Kelvin – Kelvinonian Ideas 2.0
10. James – Words For Everything
