Facebook

Welcome to the intensive hype today.
Farewell Friendster.
Everyone is addicted to Facebook and I have to admit that so am I.
First I was addicted to word games.

Subsequently, I am addicted to the very stewpid quizzes in there.
I am not condemning but because it is so stewpid and funny was the reason why I got addicted.

In any case, I remember mentioning how I wanted to maintain the number of friends to below 150.
I may be very social but I really do have very little friends so it simply occured to me that I needed to draw the social boundary.
Or at least I thought so.

Today, I have 203 friends on my Facebook.
Just like all of you, there are many whom I may not know.
I wonder why they add me on Facebook anyway.
But that aside. I couldn't be bothered to question.

Still, I had criteria before I hit the accept button.
For example, I don't accept IBM-ers in my FB for there is too much prying. Even to the extent of ex-IBM-ers, I still do not accept.

I do not add people who has no mutual friends with me.

Worse, before, I did not add relatives in my FB.
But now, there are a whole bunch of my aunties on Nyai's side who are in FB with me.
Those cousins are too on my FB.

Slowly, I was beginning to welcome the other side of family members coming to my FB.
Then I realised that it was a bad idea.
Those extreme cases, of course was deleted of my list.
Macam so clear cut very kaypo gitu.

Ok lah.. truth is I also damn kaypo la.. but not to the extend where I keep inviting people to be my friend over and over again.
Then make a big fuss that they are not adding me in.

Don't add then don't add lah!

I mean I am not being arrogant here but it shows a lot if I send out a friend request, only not to be accepted.
So it should speak volumes if I am not accepting some of them out there.
Or even delete them along the way.

Yeah I know that people you don't fancy can be put under limited profiling.
But I find it such a hassle though I do have a list of people whom I blocked.

Still, I have my reasons not to accept them.
Like I do not mix work with fun.
Or I know that this person is so nosy that every update will be scrutinised
Or even as simple as,"Why does he/she need to be in my FB?"

Whatever the reasons are, the reasons of not accepting are of my discretion.
Bottom line, these people can make themselves sound so victimised and I really hate it.
They are free to go around telling people that they are disliked by me but forget the innocent-i-have-no-grudges-tone.

In any case, I'm sure these people will read updates on my blog often.
So tak dapat tengok kat FB, kat blog sikit pun jadilar.
Dah bagus tu tak privatise the blog.

So now when I send you a friend request on FB, what do you do?
