Relation

Because I am super busy, as in like, I have no more time left for anything else but to do the important things I need to do, I was able to stalk people in Facebook.

Why do people usually stalk other people, aside from having all the time in the world to waste? Well, they can be either curious or obsessed. I don't think... nah... I don't think I'm obsessing, so I guess I am just curious - curious to see their real face, curious to read about their interests or hobbies and curious to see who their friends are. Ultimately, I guess I just want to put a face to the stories and tweets I have been reading for so long.


What surprised me in this wise use of my time was that the world is really small. I know, gasgas na talaga siya. But it still surprises me how we are all connected, related, affiliated.

Degrees of relation surprises (result of Twitter/Blogger-Facebook stalking & profile-hopping)
  • He is friends with the people I worked with years ago in a call center, meaning he also worked in that account. I resigned long before he became a part of the team.
  • They are friends with my mountaineer friends.
  • They are friends with my gay friends.
  • He is friends with friends from a major TV network.
  • They are friends with college friends.
  • They are friends with my personal trainer friends.
  • They went to the same school I am attending now.
But for sure I won't tell anyone of them how I am somehow related to them. I guess it would be interesting to see the one day I get to meet them in person, being introduced by our mutual friends, then I'll reveal to them how I knew them even before we met. That would really be something.



On another note:
What's troublesome for me in FB profile-hopping is when I see a profile and recognized the picture from somewhere - I don't know if I saw him in Twitter, Blogspot, or Planet Romeo. It can be headache inducing problem.

    on, On Another Note.

    it's really funny how we used to recognize familiar faces in a certain group or community pages. hahaha
    i just simply shrug whenever i encounter such.
    after all, your post is about petit monde, right? :D
    and yeah, your right there. prolly because most of them have multiple accounts on different social sites. hahaha

Mga ilang tagpo ng gabing iyon

Sa mga oras na iyon, tipong game na lang kaming magkakaibigan kung anong mangyari. Inumpisahan kasi nung isang guy na tumingin sa aming direksyon sa may Starbucks sa Greenfield. Tipong nag-uusap kaming magkakaibigan doon sa labas na tables nang sabay-sabay kaming napatingin sa isang lalaking dumaan. Sabay-sabay kaming nagtawanan nang mahuli kami. Pero ang nakakapagtaka ay kahit makalagpas na siya, ilang ulit pa rin ang dungaw niya sa amin. Eh di parang, "trip ata tayo noon." Sinundan namin ng tingin yung guy hanggang sa nakumbinse namin yung isa naming kaibigan na sundan siya talaga para ayaing makipagkape or whatever. Bumalik si friend na hindi bitbit si Kuya. Ang pangalawang tagpo ay noong papalakad na kami sa EDSA kung saan sasakay ang mga kaibigan ko. Tinagos namin ang Greenfield papunta sa direction ng Rob Forum. Sa bandang Flair pa lang may nakipagtitigan na sa aming lalaki. Yung isa naming kaibigan ang tumawag sa aming atensyon. Sabi niya, tigil lang daw muna kami a...

Before Coming Out

Lately, I've been thinking of coming out. It's like I want to free of myself of the burden of keeping my identity a secret. But before I come out, I just have some personal conditions I need to accomplish first. I won't be doing these things just to earn people's approval on my lifestyle but more for me being comfortable in the path I've chosen to live.

What 2012 taught me..

Yesterday night, my friends and I went out for dinner. During our talk a friend suggested to share our year-end evaluations. Since I've already blogged about how my year went, I was quick to answer his question. His next topic was to complete the statement: 2012 taught me to.... I haven't really thought of the lessons or general theme of the closing year so I got to think about my answer. And here's what I shared. "2012 taught me to just keep on trying. Maybe I'll succeed, maybe I won't. No matter what the outcome may be, what's important is that I have tried that I have exerted effort to reach my dream. Even though I take things a day at a time, not really making long term plans, I still have goals for whatever opportunities and I would make every step to take advantage of that chance. I believe that it's better to have tried (in love, in career, and in life) than to regret not trying at all." So that's it. And with this, I end my 2012 ...
