"What’s on your mind?"
Sunday, September 6, 2009It’s official, I’ll be boycotting Facebook until the end of this semester. Haha. Well, I’ve always told myself that I’ll do it, but I end up opening my account and doing pointless things for hours anyway. With this semester nearing its end, I’m bound to busy myself with academic matters and requirements.
This social network site appealed to me because “my friends are doing it.” Gosh. I’m so pathetic. Indeed, the reason I keep logging in is because I want to be in the know of what my friends are doing, thinking and talking about. Perhaps another pull FB got on me were the games, but since I don’t care anymore, I’ve left them behind. I’ve lost interest after a few weeks, unlike my sister who gets grumpy lately when she can’t go online (because she got tons of homework, yes). Moreover, the level of the virtual pets, the grandiose of the virtual restaurants, and the progress of the virtual farm (among others I don’t know of) had become some sort of status symbols among her and her friends. Meh. They’re kids, I’ll let them have that.
Oh well. To each his own taste. Please add me up, anyway. XD
