Unlike last year, I won’t be a dick to you new college graduates. Instead, let me impart a few solid bits of wisdom:

• Unless your family is depending on your income, take your time in picking jobs you’ll apply for. You don’t want to enter the work force in half-assed fashion.
• Don’t stress about your bare-ass resume. You just graduated, silly. There’s not a lot you can put in there.
• It’s going to be weird for a while, not getting the chance to get stupidrunk every night and all, but hang in there. You’ll get used to it.
• Speaking of getting stupidrunk every night, don’t go to an interview with a hangover. And don’t stare at women’s breasts. Trust me on this.
• Don’t let go of all those wonderful college memories. You’ll need them when you’re cold and lonely and stressed out and wondering why people need jobs because it’s stupid and you should be on the beach getting stupidrunk.

But seriously, good luck with the job hunt. Congratulations and welcome to the wonderful world of corporate bullcrap! And oh, what the hell…

Remember when we were all on Twitter, dumping our thoughts and ideas 140 characters at a time and having the time of our Internet lives? No? Well I do. That’s why I’m currently marveling at the war raging on for microblogging supremacy in the Filipino community. Well, in my mind at least.

Whose side are you on?

I find it astonishing to see Plurk being overrun by Filipinos. A few months ago, the majority of Filipino plurkers consisted of bloggers, web developers and online marketers who made the great switch from Twitter to Plurk approximately a year ago. Now, Plurk is the new deal among the Filipino Internet literate crowd. Also, Facebook. But that’s a blog post for another time.

Plurk’s charm is slowly dying on me. I’m starting to update my Twitter more often now. Internet gods help me, I’ve entertained the idea of moving back to Twitter permanently and leaving Plurk altogether. Fortunately, I haven’t seriously thought of actually doing it since, you know, it’s not really a big deal. I’m totally considering adding several items to my Plurker’s Manifesto, though. But yeah, there’s the itch of just sticking to one microblogging service where I can tell you guys what I’m eating, where I’m going or what TV show I’m currently watching but secretly hating.

It has never been about the destination or the distance or the awesome view whenever I go on a trip with my UPLB MASS brothers and sisters. It has always been about the company and how we find ways to have a bloody good time no matter where we are.

Here in the Philippines, school is out. Most young professionals are taking a break from work because it’s Holy Week. This means a lot of people will be spending their time dicking around the web, probably on Facebook. And if the last couple of weeks is any indication, we’re going to see a LOT of quiz results on our News Feed.

Well, not really. Some of my plurks were total lies. Some of them were half truths. Some were parodies of some plurkers. Some, satirical jabs at people who live in ivory Plurk towers. Hey, I already plurked them for you. You sort them out.

#1. Totally depressed last night. A few steps from being suicidal. So I paid someone to have sex with me.

#2. I accidentally ran over a kitten this morning. :( And a puppy. And a frog. And a rat. And a blind homeless guy.

#3. I’m BATMAN.

#4. I can’t wait for the Dragonball movie! (woot)

#5. You Plurk people are dumb. I’m moving back to Twitter where I can use hashtags and be important and stuff.

#6. Since it’s the first of the month, it’s just appropriate to make big changes in my life. I shall now quit smoking. This time, it’s FOREVER!

#7. I only listen to the Beatles, Bob Dylan, Bob Marley, Jimi Hendrix and new totally obscure bands. Because I’m better than you.
