Recent Doings

I actually hate having to think up a post title whenever I feel like writing. So I just use whatever comes up first as a post title. Anyway this is gonna be a short-sort compilation post which might not be that short after all.

I've been wanting to create a new blog for entertainment purposes. Mainly to compile (on a certain basis/schedule) the movie-related giveaways that I know of. I have won quite a few movie-related giveaways since last year. At first what I got was movie merchandises like t-shirts and key-chains. I started wanting to win movie passes (premiere screening, preview screening, normal passes) since I love watching movies in the cinema but have never won any movie passes while the sis, even though winning her first pair, decided not to attend the screening. I didn't win any movie passes until September last year. At one point, I got to watch about at least one free movie per week. Which, to a lot of my friends, is a lot. Fast forward to the present, I do still occasionally win free movie passes, movie merchandise and other sorts of things, like the most recently won necklace. I kept getting reactions like "OMG How do you even win so many things?!" "Why do you keep winning things?" "How do you even find all these?" and another newer one "How do you focus on all these giveaways?" Then it hit me that I do spend quite an amount of time on giveaways ever since I discovered them last year. One night, while trying to fall asleep, I suddenly got this idea to create a blog to compile all the giveaways that I know of. And maybe the next time when I get the same questions, I can just stuff the blog link to them and tell them "I found a blog that compiles a number of giveaways and just check it out now and then". Okay that was one of the sub reasons. I just felt like doing it.

When I became determined to create this blog, another problem came up. An email for the blog. For people to "contact me", to ask questions etc. I know I know.. I'm thinking too much and probably too far but who knows maybe one day someone might really need to email me to ask me things. I didn't want to use my personal email address since I didn't really want everyone to have my personal email address since I do check it everyday and there's already social network websites. While thinking of an email address for the blog, I couldn't make up my mind on whether I want one that is more general, one that is an exact copy pasta of the blog's name (I prefer copy pasta over copy paste), or one that is more appropriate, like an official/professional email. While coming up with a proper one, I suddenly thought about my personal email address and thought it isn't that appropriate as well when it comes to finding a job etc. Annddd now I have to come up with two email addresses. Headache.

Last night, I finally decided to apply for a job at Netccentric. Mainly for ChurpChurp. Someone from Netccentric called me earlier today and I was speechless when I got told to "Tell us about yourself". Sigh. I suck when it comes to things like this. I was really unprepared and this is the second time I went totally speechless at an important moment. My chances are probably gone by now. Oh well. No one guaranteed I'd get a job with them anyway.

Last Saturday, we had a belated mini birthday gathering for someone and it has been a while since I saw that many people (that I know) in one place. 19 girls including me to be exact. Plus someone's boyfriend who was sitting at another table. Largest gathering I've been to since we graduated from high school. Might or might not write a separate post on this. Chit chattering throughout the dinner.

Well... Sucky compilation as usual. Hopefully when I do create a new blog, I don't write suckish compilation posts like this anymore. I need to improve my writing...
