[For Tumblr Users] Itching To Have Someone Commenting On Your Blog Entries?

This is for my Tumblr friends who wanna allow non-Tumblr users to comment on your blog entries. As we all know, the default ways for people to sorta leave their words are:

  1. End your entry with a “?” so that people (even anonymous users) can answer your question
  2. By clicking on the “reply” link on your Tumblr dashboard.

The disadvantage of allowing people to comment or reply through this way is that you cannot reply to your own entries, which is somewhat problematic. So the best way is to have a comment box on each of your entries, and thankfully, Disqus has done all the work for us, and the process of installation is very quick!

But first thing first, go to the “customize” page. Understand that some Tumblr themes do not allow you to add the comment box, but if your blog layout is an ordinary one (ie: It doesn’t look like magazine with many columns on a page), then chances are you are able to get it done. Now, on the “Appearance” tab, see if there’s a space for you to enter your Disqus shortname, leave it blank for now.

If there is, then you’re in luck! It means the theme is Disqus-friendly! Now here comes the second step, you need to do is to go to Disqus’ registration site to sign up for an account there.

The “Site Shortname” you enter will be the same as your “Disqus shortname”. For example the shortname you decided to use is “Iamsosexyxoxoxoxo”, then it will be “Iamsosexyxoxoxoxo” and not “Iamsosexyxoxoxoxo.disqus.com, and remember, once you have chosen your shortname, you are NOT allowed to change it later on as it’s unique.

After registering an account on Disqus, you can now enter your shortname on your “Customize” page and save it, go to your homepage and you can see there’s a link under every entry that allows people to drop their comments. Note that Tumblr users CANNOT comment on your Disqus comment box through their Dashboard, they have to visit your homepage (e.g: My page: http://badboyisme.com (a.k.a http://badceddy.tumblr.com)

Basically that’s all you should do for a comment box to appear under every entry of yours. If you wanna play around with the settings, by all means go ahead, you can change the comment link’s wordings, instead of “0 comment”, you can change it under the settings page on Disqus’ site, there are not many things to play around so you should be able to explore it within 10 minutes.

You can also allow people to comment with their Facebook name or Twitter account, you know those who are extremely lazy to enter their names, email address blah blah blah would find this a useful function for them, or better yet, get them to sign up for Disqus.

With Disqus’ profile, you don’t have to sign in everytime you comment on someone’s blog with a Disqus comment box in it. Handy isn’t it? Also, if someone drops a comment for ya, you can choose to receive it on your emails and even REPLY through your email! It’s a very cool feature.

You can view the example of my thread here.

Now I don’t have to worry that people without Tumblr account can’t leave their comments and I don’t have to worry that I can’t reply to them. It’s all made very convenient for me.

I wrote this entry because I’ve got a few friends asking me about configuring a comment box in their blog. So there you have it! Rejoice! My Tumblr friends, once you have it installed, drop some words for me so that I can now comment on your site freely! ;)

And Here Comes The Morning Rant

I slept late yesterday, because I’m getting hooked up with an old school game called “Chrono Cross”, since I don’t have much plan except for a lunch date with my coursemate, I thought I could sleep till probably 11 or 12pm.

Suddenly, a fucking bird has to warble, bitch shrieked like his/her parents being strangled in front of him/her, it’s so loud you can actually turn it into an organic alarm clock, it’ll wake the entire dormitory up when it’s awake too, fucking bird.

Speaking about alarm, my cousin’s alarm is ringing now and he won’t wake up! My sister in law must be a necrophilia to be married to a DEAD man, the alarm clock is so loud I could even hear it from my room, I couldn’t even turn it off for him. Man if this unit gets burn down, he wouldn’t even know until probably the damn bird that warbled just now lands on his head and starts shrieking again.

Then somebody has to drill his house, at 9am in the morning. IN THE MORNING?! Ok yes it’s about time they had to start working but help me please I need to sleep. I’m telling y’all after ranting this I’m packing my bag I’m freaking moving to Shaolin Temple to find tranquility, bitch if I don’t sleep, I swear there will be a killing fest soon.

Morale of the story, sleep early. And birds are evil.

They Say Don’t Drink And Drive, I Say Don’t Drink And Talk

Because some people transform into a total psycho after drinking, they don’t know what shit they’re saying and they will keep going on and on and on.

I had a run in with this crazy old man in a pub yesterday after my friend’s birthday celebration. When we were about to leave, he offered to take a group picture for us, ok he’s a nice guy (at first) and he started talking to my friend while we were waiting a few steps away.

After talking to my friend he turned and asked if we are having a good time and stuff so we were like YEAHHHHHHHHH~ Because his accent was different and he does not sound local, I asked my other friend softly if that old man comes from Mumbai or something.

Take note I did not mean to insult him or anything, I just thought he does not speak like us.

Suddenly he said very loudly to me, “Hey, that’s not very nice! I heard what you said, now I am being very nice here.”

I didn’t realize he was talking to me till he kept going on and on with the “That’s not very nice” shit. Seriously I wonder what the fuck did he hear? If he could really hear me correctly, how the hell is MUMBAI not nice?

So I asked, “WHAT?!”

He turned away and said “Nah, I heard what you said, I heard what you said.”

Man he must be drunk, from the way he spoke to my friend I knew he’s a little tipsy already. My friends were worried that there will be some drama going on and they whisked me away.

Well, they shouldn’t worry because, 1) I won’t cause a scene with OLD people, 2) I won’t cause a scene with an OLD and DRUNK man, 3) I saw a big ass bottle on his table, I don’t wanna die so young.

But really, how is MUMBAI not nice? The question is still running in my head.

Seriously

I don’t understand the surge of followers I’m getting on Tumblr, it’s not like I have interesting contents to share, most of the time it’s about my personal experience and it just puzzles me how you guys found me, I tried to get you guys to interact with me but not everyone bothers to say “hi”.

But anyways, since y’all took the effort to click on “Follow”, I have to say…

Y’all make me soooooooooooooo happy!!!!!!!!!!!!! ^_^

Yesterday, Tumbr decided to trip and got every Tumblr user a big scare! The site was DOWN! How could this happen? I was definitely pissed off because I had something in mind to blog about, I’m pretty sure many people were frustrated. Just like Twitter Fail Whale, when that bitch appears, everyone freaks out. Tumblr, please don’t do this to us anymore, PLEASE!

Threaten My Cousin Thou Shalt Not!

My 19-year-old cousin called me and told me that at 5am, someone texted her asking if he can get to know her. My cousin declined and the subsequent messages from that dude weren’t pleasant at all. I told her to forward the text messages for me to read and boy those were scary shits. The dude told her to be careful because he knows where she stays and that maybe a gang rape session with my cousin would be nice yada yada.

I told my cousin to keep calm and make a police report, we don’t care if the police will take action but just in case, right? I also know for a fact that this boy who sent those kind of messages is a child, I’ve been planning to freak him out but in the end, I decided to do it all by myself.

I actually called him up with a phone number (registered from a website) which looks like a number you’d see on your screen when a bank calls you. When I heard his voice, I was happy because I know I was right! He’s a damn child, and judging by the background, he’s still in school. Great!

So I proceeded to disguise myself as a police inspector, I told him that “we” have received a police report with regards to a threat case, that he sent text messages to Ms so and so about wanting to rape her. If he is convicted he will be incarcerated blah blah blah. I didn’t care if he would understand what I’m saying but I made myself so formal enough that he kept saying NO, but he was stuttering, bingo! That’s the child who did that.

He hung up on me when I raised my voice and after that he did not pick up my call anymore, I sent him a text telling him that it would be another offence if he does not cooperate with the police. Nyeh hehehehe!

I treat my cousins like my sisters (Because I’m the only child) and if he wants to fuck with any of my cousins, I will transform into an Ursus arctos horribilis. So fuck you young boy.

This is one of the Blackberry Messenger (BBM) commercials made by Research In Motion to promote the usage of BBM and to reach out to people how useful it is to use BBM.

They have 5 commercials on BBM but this is the one I love the most, (1) They feature gays on it!

(2) What the girl said was right! “If you read my BBM, and you don’t answer me, I know you read it, I love that!” Now that’s exactly why I love BBM, some people said it’s an invasion of privacy and people have every right not to reply to the messages, of course you have the right not to reply, but knowing that you’ve read the message simply means you won’t have to come up with a shitty excuse like “Oh did you send it? Oh no you did not.”

Any friends of mine use BBM a lot like I do?

To All My New Followers

Thank you so much for following me, I have no idea what attracted you guys but it’s cool that y’all decided to keep track with my entries.

Mind you that I’m not a typical Tumblr user who will only reblog stuffs people post up, most of the time I WRITE my own shits right here. Therefore there will be times when you have to put up with my long ass articles, but it’s ok, you can just skip it if it bores you.

Anyways, I also notice that some of you don’t even have a bio for yourselves, I am keen to know who you are but some of you don’t reveal your names/nicknames on your Tumblr so I don’t know how to address y’all.

How about this, when you happen to read this, at least tell me how should I address you and how did you come across my Tumblr?

Once again, thank you so much! Mwahs!

It Must Be My Lucky Day

And I guess Edwynn is my lucky star of the day, if I did not hang out with him, I would have gone home earlier, if I had gone home earlier, I would have missed the MixFm road runners, if I … Ok I know this is gonna annoy you guys. LOL

So we were at Ikano’s Dome sipping some drinks when I saw 2 cars pulling over next to us, well, not exactly “next to” but it’s just a few steps away from us. I saw the MixFm road runners coming out from the vehicles and I couldn’t help but to find out if there’s any event going on. Apparently they are giving away free stuff!

I stood there and later I was joined with other strangers, we were given free items like magazines, newspaper, a can of Pepsi, Charice’s single (Not album) each. But of course, they have other better prizes like CDs and movie passes, we can only win those if we take part in their mini games.

There were about 8 people, and the first game is to guess the song titles and artists for the songs that will be played for like 5 seconds. They played 5 songs and I got 4 songs correct, I was the winner and I guess it’s because I keep myself updated with the music all the time but there’s this elderly lady who took part and she freaking knew Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance”, but she wrote the artist as Kelly Clarkson, that’s really awesome ye know? At least she knew the existence of Kelly Clarkson and the song. Because I’m the winner, I got myself a CD called “I’m Yours”, featuring the top love songs of all time.

Then we played another game, I don’t know how to even put it in words but to cut short, I won again, I was told to choose between a Charice’s debut album, a SALT premier passes and a movie pass for me to watch any one movie on a day for free. Of course I’d pick Charice’s album!

Thanks to MixFm for the prizes and special thanks to Edwynn my bitch for being my lucky star! I guess I know which radio station to tune in from now on! Haha!
