Project Blog #1: Media Habits March 28, 2008

I just recently made ‘public’ this blog to my fellow Girltalkers. There’s a thread there entitled Support Group for GT Bloggers. After reading through the posts, it inspired me to share my own blog. Though I haven’t really shared my real name this blog will still let them know me more as a person. From that thread, a fellow GTalker (Mindy), was kind enough to create a blogring for all of us GT Bloggers. I’m proud to say I’m part of that blogring. The Project Blog was born from there - something for the group to do & update and it will also help each other know more about how the other GT bloggers think & feel about certain topics. A new project will be posted every Sunday, it’s now Friday and I haven’t done the project yet. Don’t get me wrong it’s not something I have to do, I want to do it. I’m actually excited about what the next projects would be. I just can’t believe it that it’s taken me this long to do this particular project.

 

Media Habits

• What do you read, watch, download, listen to? Why do you prefer those?
  • I actually read a lot but most of them are non-fiction books. I like the romantic, sappy, cheesy, corny, tear-jerker kind of novels, hehe. I was introduced to this type of books when my bestfriend offered to lend me one, and the rest is history. Now my mom is telling me to dispose of these books because we’ll soon move to another house and my precious books will just be kalat.
  • Watching movies is BF and I’s past time. When we still had the same schedule before (get out of work at 11am), we would catch new movies every Wednesday. But now, we just watch on the weekends. TV, I loooove watching CSI! Las Vegas and New York to be exact but I’m starting to love Miami, I just like it now. I also like watching sitcoms like Everybody Loves Raymond, Will & Grace, Friends, etc - obviously these are reruns, hehe. I only get to watch a little TV before going to sleep this is around 10am-2pm so there’s not much on. Oh! I also have this thing with cooking shows! I watch it every chance I get. With music, I can say I like all of the genres. I just like techno/house/chill out more. May it be old school (as in Beatles, even The Platters), hip hop, RnB, rock, even country, I like ‘em! The one thing I can’t stand is the really hard rock type of music - like the screaming, scary ones.

• What do you do on the internet?
  • I surf! Hehe at work Girltalk is almost always open the whole shift - I just refresh once in a while to check if there are new replies (I’m not being biased :P). When I get home, I automatically check my accounts in multiply, friendster, & facebook. Sometimes myspace when I remember to. Of course, I also check my email.

• How much have you spent/save on this habit?
  • Hmmm, I can’t really say I’ve saved on buying books because the authors that I like doesn’t come cheap in National Bookstore - they usually price it at P359! But I always check out Booksale and Chapters & Pages because they usually carry the authors that I like.
