Facebook Friends List

Facebook

Do you add every person who adds you as a friend in Facebook? How do you talk to the 400+ people in your friends list? Do you even read their updates?

I have 106 friends in Facebook. I removed the 11 I realized I added by mistake. These are people I don’t actually talk to and don’t care about. So I removed them from my friends list. I am now down to 95. Ang konti di ba? The thing is, these people are the ones I am interested about. The people I care about what’s happening in their lives. These are the people I really talk to and will talk to when I see them online.

More people have added me on Facebook. I am not a snob when I ignore their requests. It’s just that, whenever someone adds me up, I ask myself, do I really want these people to know what’s happening in my life? Do I want these people to be able to read my senseless (haha) posts? The only answer I can come up with is “NO!” so I ignore them and move on.

I understand that some people use Facebook to generate income. I’ve seen others selling items there. Now, adding 1,000+ is the way to go. But for a personal account? No offense to those who have more than 400+ friends. This post is for me. I just can’t see myself interacting with that many people in my account.

My FB is an intimate affair and I would like it to stay as such.

How about you?

So hot!

Do you how hot it was yesterday in Manila? It was 35.8ºC! No wonder it was so darn hot! Even a minute after taking a bath, you’d already feel sweat trickling down your back again. No wonder everyone was fidgeting inside the church last night.

According to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services (PAGASA) yesterday was the hottest temperature in Metro Manila this month.

Magnitude 8.8 Earthquake in Chile

These are some of the images of the devastation left by the magnitude 8.8 temblor that shook central Chile last Saturday. First, there’s Haiti. Now, it’s Chile.

Thank God the tsunami scare was just that. A scare. There were 5.5 feet waves that hit the shores of Japan, according to reports I’ve read. But that’s okay compared to the predicted 15 feet tsunami waves that would hit Hawaii, Japan, Russia, Alaska and California.

Let us all pray that this won’t happen again here in the country or anywhere else in the world. Let us all pray for the recovery of Haiti, Chile and all the victims of the earthquakes that shook both countries.
