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

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.

The One

Feeling loved and inspired, I ask my friends, who are in long-term, serious relationships, how and when they realized that their partners were the ones. Here are their answers: 1) "You don't know. You feel . Nagkakasundo kami palagi. And we have similar tastes." 2) " I just felt it . Despite everything that happened to us, we still chose each other . I just knew it. Tapos nagising na lang din ako isang araw na nung nakita ko siya pagkagising ko na katabi ko siya eh iba na yung feeling ko." 3) "Pasok siya sa criteria ko na kailangan lagi ako chinachat. Kaya nga until now lagi pa rin kami magkachat kahit nakatira na kami sa iisang bahay. Pinakaimportante dapat damang dama mo na gustong gusto ka niya.: 4) " Hindi niya ako iniwanan in my lowest point . He's one of the people na napaka-pure ng intention. Love personified." 5) " I just knew somehow .Yung di ako mahihiya ipakilala sa mga tao. Yung di na ako kailangan magtago." 6) "Sig...

SOML: Somebody that I Used to Know

Was there ever a time in your life when you first heard a song and felt that the song was written for you? That it might be your theme song for a certain moment or chapter in your life? Parang kiling me softly with his song lang ang peg.
