A rerouting of some sort.

And so, my plan of lazing around for a month is thwarted. The money my parents were expecting to be used for my education only caused another disappointment for us. I cannot blame the government though. I can never expect them to change. You should never count your chicks when the eggs haven’t been hatched. Now, we don’t know what money to use on our short trip to Visayas. My family and I will be attending a wedding of a favored cousin of mine. Hopefully, the current conundrum would not be the rain on our parades.

As of yet, I am considering of actually getting employment on call center despite of my stand. My pride would not let me do it but my bank account says otherwise. I also have to make sure I get good benefits so I won’t have the same problem my father has with his pension. It also came to my realization that I should go to another country as the government in the Philippines will not change unless all the people in seat all die together. That would be tragic for them, quite a treat for us, citizens.

in conclusion, there are things in life that come that will leave you like a fish out of water. Be water, as what Bruce Lee says.

Giving in to temptation.

 

And so, after being away from Facebook for more or less 50 days I have decided to revive it. I felt a little nervous and if asked why, I don’t know. It feels like it’s a new thing for me again. I immediately deleted some people whom I do not have personal interactions with. Unfortunately, they weren’t that many. I still have more than 500. Weeding people out from your life is never an easy task. Being a son of someone known to our circle, I still have to hesitate whether to cut connections with them or not. I am afraid it would be offensive for them and would eventually cause a rift between these people and my parents. It may sound like I am a member of the royal family or someone of the same status but no. However, what I do not know is how people will react to what I did. Yes, I am not someone of power but some of them are narrow-minded and would create any conflict that should never be there in the first place.

It was not a fun experience for me though. I anticipated getting the same feeling I had when I created my account on the Social Network but boy, was I wrong. I hated it. I hated what I saw on the newsfeeds, I hate the posts I made in the past, I hate the current posts I see. My inner-hipster is saying to delete my account. I have been pondering about it for quite some time now and I may consider doing it soon. Fortunately for my friends there, I did not see any morsel of an opinion regarding the biggest local showbiz scandal up to date. I find comfort in knowing that like I am, they know what things that matter and things that are not worth anyone’s time.

What I realize though is that my absence was not much of a big deal to others. It really showed how a social network is not making people close to each other. There is nothing better than bonding with friends in person. Not using Facebook for a month gave me sudden realization-Technology made the world got smaller but it definitely did not bring people closer together.
