So many things to.. oooh! Facebook!

Things that I wanted to do right now, taken more than a year ago.

Why I want to deactivate my Facebook:
  • Makes me hate human kind even more.
  • I can't help but judge my Facebook "friends" based on their posts. I hate being judged so as much as possible I don't like doing the same.
  • Nobody left to stalk. I don't like anybody *that* much.
  • My head hurts from all the *facepalm* *headdesk* moments.
  • Link baits that I keep on clicking and I end up losing 4 or more hours without noticing.
  • Issues.
  • I find less and less of things in common with people around me and that somehow depresses me.
  • The force to post rants and statuses that I'd probably regret is strong right now.
  • The chance of verbal diarrhea.
  • I feel more disconnected with some of my friends more than ever. I think we were so secured with our online connection that we forget to really "connect".
  • As much as I am happy for other people, browsing my timeline adds items to my list of insecurities, self doubt, disappointment in myself, etc.
  • Schadenfreude.
  • I find less and less time to do the things I want like watching MORE series and books and playing.
  • Shorter attention span and I blame the internet (because apparently you can blame everything you see in the internet).
Why I'm don't want to deactivate my Facebook:
  • The hassle of re-routing/configuring applications that I signed up with using Facebook. Especially Spotify.
  • Knowing myself, I'd probably activate it soon.
  • Schadenfreude.
So guess what, I'm not deactivating my Facebook.

    I can relate to bullet number 2, 7 & 10. Social media is taking our lives. Instead making of personal connections with people dear to us we go to Facebook, Instagram or Twitter and tell the world everything that we feel.

      Coincidentally, based on my timehop 5 years ago, I posted "Kaibigan pa ba kita?" on facebook. Apparently this feeling has been going on for years.

    I have a post almost similar to this one. You know, just hating facebook and still using it. Haha. Anyway, the first thing that came to mind when I saw the picture in this post was, omg baka matapon yung kape sa gitara. Hehe. :)

    Theres a study relating "short attention span" and facebook - what it does to your brain. But, yeah, just read that from the net as well. Had these struggles too. So I turned off all notifications so it will be less tempting! Haha

Body non-issues (well hopefully)

I love going to the beach. I love getting burnt by the sun with a beer on my hand and my friends around. But every single time, I get insecure of my body. I mean you feel people staring at you like you have no right to be there wearing that expensive 2-piece you bought on sale (because hello, plus size swimsuits aren't really that accessible), you see girls that are thin and have that perfect thigh-gap that the media has portrayed to be sexy, and you feel like you're offending people by wearing what you want.

Bye Felicia!

It's actually hard to write about 2016. I guess we all know how 2016 really is. It wasn't that great tbh. But guess what, we survived. I guess that counts for something. It was the year I stepped out of my comfort zone and I'm still adjusting. Being far from home isn't as easy as I thought it would be. I miss my cats, family and friends. Back home, I was never alone and lonely at the same time (or at least I can't remember the last time), but I felt it this year. Not to mention the passing of one of my favorite people, my Lolo. I was so scared of how 2016 was turning out to be that I was so paranoid, I thought that anything I do would turn out really bad. It's like the whole year was in mercury retrograde. I don't know what is in store for me in 2017 but I hope it would be awesome. I mean the last 2 weeks of 2016 was actually better than what I have expected. I'm crossing my fingers that it continues to go up next year. So how can I wrap up this ye

Late Night

We were supposed to watch a late night movie but your car won't start so we just stayed there. Instead of going back inside, we lost track of time discussing things that we never get tired of talking about and the topics that branches out of that, basically talking about everything and anything.  Before we knew it, the sun was almost rising and our throat's about to dry out. "You always force me to do things that aren't part of the plan" "You can always be firm in saying 'no'. But you're too easy to break." "It's because I get to spend that time with you" And that's when I realised that I love you. No, I actually already knew, but more of convinced myself to accept that I do love you. And I may regret it, but I did not say anything. I just smiled and dozed to sleep.
