Confessions of a facebook Junkie!
Ok, Ok. I know my lack of entries during the last couple of months has been blamed to me being busy. Which is true, I have never been more swamped with work than I have been lately. I’m still pursing my education and also trying to have some type of social life. However with that said, I do have a confession to make. I’ve been addicted to a social network site, which I seem to have time for every day…
It’s not MySpace.com or Friendster.com, or hi5, or even the original social networks like AsianAvenue.com, BlackPalnet.com or Migente.com. It’s the fastest growing social network today. Yes, facebook. :S. I was never really into Social networks. Normally I would create profiles just to see what the big fuss was about and usually I would abandon them for a while. But this facebook thing is different from the rest. It’s much more personal with great security and privacy features.
You can choose who is able to view your profile and even control the details of what they can see. Live news feed as your home page is great. It gives you news on the latest actives of your friends, colleges and family.
However, as facebook continues to grow, so does its features. Recently they allowed various types of applications that you can add on your profile page. Applications such as horoscope, maps, Paint, music/movie play list and much more can be added on your page. I’m not a big fan of this because in time, facebook profiles will be similar to those of MySpace. It will be filled with so much crap that it hurts the eyes to even give it a page impression.
Overall I give facebook two thumbs up for now! It’s a great way to keep in touch with past classmates, colleagues and family members. It also has some great features such as Market Place where you can advertise, whether you are buying, selling, giving or looking.
*I am not a facebook junkie. Trust me I’m beginning to lose interest. ;-)…… Ok, alright. Not just yet.
I Almost Had…
I am in the process of moving and while I was going through a lot of papers (just to let you know I hate to throw things out), I found this poem I wrote way back in the day, maybe four years old or more. Anyway as I read it, I really liked the flow of it; it’s more of an open mike type of poem. I figured I’d share it with all of you.
P.S. I know I haven’t posted in a while. I honestly am so busy and I need to find writers for the blog. Personally for me I prefer to be behind the scene, doing the marketing side of it.
So if you like to write, or be a guest on this blog, please contact me.
Thanks,

I Almost Had…
At times I wonder if things could have been different,
Maybe I should have said a little more, or maybe a little less
Maybe I should have tried a little harder,
But for real man… I was doing my best.
I thought we had something real,
But I was a fool to think that we had a deal.
Maybe it’s not love, maybe it’s just you who I lust.
What I want from you, you could never give.
What you want in life, I could never conceive.
At times I front and say that it don’t bother me,
But for those of you who know, Damn if only you could see,
that each night I push you out of my head
And after all these years, I still cry in bed.
I’ll live life day by day, and trust in love to lead me the way
If I fail and don’t find what I want, I’ll look back and think of this love
… I almost had….
A Necklace Made Of Flowers
Â
A necklace made of flowers
Signifies the beauty is yours
A truth that comes full circle
Read in stories that do touch
Â
I was so afraid to find you
In someone else
I was amazed it would happen
To my mind
Â
My old book of love is used
I shared it with all of you
Like an action to a reaction
I found the letters in a line
Â
I was so amazed to find you
In all those things
I was afraid it would happen
To my surprise
Â
When I wanted to be a thief
When I needed your heart
My health was the only concern
And now it is again so far
Â
I am around in search of
All your things
I was hoping it would last
Until all was gone
Â
But I need you like I want
Something that makes sense
It hurts to see you in pain
Wait for a sunrise painting
Â
I am awake this morning
All I could think of
Is the past
Until the past is mine
Whoever You Are
Â
You must be thinking
Whoever you are
And wherever too
That we are closer than worlds apart
Whatever is between us
It is secret, like how the name of Wall is also a Street
And how fire could be a real wall
Â
You must be thinking
I am only awake when you are asleep
And I only sleep when I can
But surely if someone like you could understand
My dream then my dream is just a dream
Just another one of those you relate to
And surely if I understand you
Like the way I usually do
Then our distance has to be measured
Before our letters can be treasured
Â
You must be thinking
I am scared to lose you
You are correct in a correct kind of way
I am scared to lose you because of respect
Because ever since I could remember
You could love someone before meeting
Â
You must be thinking
How it happened when I met the person
I didn’t even know it was happening
It was just an ordinary day
The greatness of such a way
The likeness twofold and young
The silliness so flavorful
It was so good, I could have ruined it
Â
You must be thinking
Where was I in all of this
You were in my thoughts
I was thinking of you
It was like we were together
Not in a secret place or a secret time
Just somewhere for all we know
Just friends and strangers the same
In our place where love is the game
The Token Frienemy!
Today was the first day I heard the term ‘Freinemy’, According to Urban Dictionary, the number one definition for it is…
‘A “toxic” person who poses as a friend but subconsciously or consciously wishes you harm.’
It definitely gives a name to the saying ‘keep your friends close, but your enemies even closer’.
My friend says that we all have one. Just like the token minority friend that every crew seems to have. They may not act, or look like a freinemy. They can easily be disguised as a normal friend, sometimes even as a best friend. But behind all those smiles, gestures, and favors, they are planning something wicked and wishes you harm.
Do you have a frienemy?
