i'm already semi-partying hahaha.
it doesn't really feel like the exams because ever since conquering 3 in a day last friday (gp x2 and bio paper 2) i felt like i could do anything in the world hahahahaha.
and also most of my papers are in the afternoon so... the fact that there's the mornings free for you to study or slack or sleep makes you feel like a chill.
so yeah this week is down and another full subject (chem), math paper 2 and bio paper 1 next week to fight head-on with!
i will work hard and do my best, but then saying that comes with potential risks because i keep finding new addictions to feed my boredom...
firstly it was doodle find, which i finally broke my record by 1000 points after like a year.... YAY.
but the thing is that i am always this close to a new high score by like one damn doodle away.
so i'm getting quite frustrated at myself hahahaha.
time to chuck that damn game aside and make way for my newfound-love....... pinterest!!!!
ah. that motto quintessentially captures the essence of pinterest.
anyway, so what on earth is pinterest?
well basically to me it's like tumblr, twitter, instagram and weheartit all-in-one!
instagram for it's aesthetically appealing visuals minus the meaningless low-quality shots that occasionally appear on your feed.
twitter for it's rapid sharing and networking characteristic because it links from soooooo many websites out there on the net.
tumblr for it's quality photos accompanied with beautiful quotes without the mainstream-ness.
and weheartit for its super user-friendly application that allows you to save pictures to your camera roll etc.
i think what makes pinterest so addictive (for me) is because of it's customization.
your profile is really what you are, because it showcases photos that pander to your interest or even on a more profound level, speak to your heart.
you get to pick what you want to show the world, and because this proliferation of social media has made us become even lazier people, the very edge that pinterest has over the rest of the social media networks is that you are not compelled to post anything to "keep up with your follower count" (like instagram).
being a 4-hour old pinterester, what i've been doing is that i'm merely "stealing" people's pins and pinning them to my own boards, and that other people can actually follow my boards if they like my "collection" too.
haven't uploaded anything worthy of mention on it yet, and correct me if i'm wrong, but honestly i feel it doesn't matter whether you post anything or not.
okay maybe because i'm a newbie and i follow no one and neither does anyone follow me.
anyway back to the point of customization, you get to choose from the categories that pique your interest, and for me that would be quotable quotes, flowers, bread, ummm trivia, home & decor etc. etc.
and once you start pinning such photos to your boards pinterest filters your homepage for you such that you get to view similar images.
pinterest is so darn amazing i can't even; it's like your online camera roll where you store all your favourites simply because your phone just doesn't have all the space to do so.
this is really a one-stop place for great inspiration and ideas to your next project, as it's advert tagline suggests.
so guys please do try out pinterest because i seriously think it will change your life!!!!!!
usability: 10/10
sociability (since it is well after all a social networking site): 8/10 (though there's this comment section but hardly anyone uses it i guess so there's lesser connectivity)
addictiveness: 1000/10 (warning: i am a current living example of a distracted individual)
follow me on pinterest if you can too ;) @jellytrucks
i really really really enjoy using pinterest (and have been for the past 4 hours) and obviously there is some risk of such pronouncements because mid-years are obviously nowhere near from its end...
oh well.
let's hope (no wait i shall) put the next two days to good use and do my best to prepare for chem!!!!
was supposed to finish up chemical bonding today but meh those 4 hours were diverted to pinning photos down sigh.
but oh well, at least my eyes are satisfied now :-)
hello to the pinterest creator if you ever chance upon this just know that i am really thankful and amazed at the development of this awesome site!!!!!! (will you pay me for this advertisement ok i am obviously kidding hahahahaha but yes this is all done out of love and appreciation ahahahaha thank you!!!)
^ i sound like some diehard fan going crazy over some boyband. oops.
