A Social Experiment

Now that I recall, I should have conduct a social experiment while I was still able to.

Come to think of it, I've never block Facebook while I was around right?

Just imagine what if I did.

Yeah Yeah, lots of protest

Everyone is so integrated into FB now, could still remember a few years back where I was with a few friends still trying to resist the migration to FB. Now we are on it like practically as much as we are awake. This era could almost be said to have been lived on FB. Given a few years back, people sure would have marked you as crazy for saying that.

Back to the story, recently I had just experienced such an ordeal. Well, being denied access to FB was not really considered one for me since I have pretty much been able to separate myself from the account most of the time. But it sure hit me with some revelation.

1. I had been relying on FB to remember b'days and then come the sending a greeting part
2. Lots of people actually appear on my wall and I actually scroll through just to get the latest scoops
3. Sometimes I found more about what was happening around me than through reading my news feed

Looking at others, the denial of access seems to hurt a bit harder, like something was taken away. But given the current status quo, its pretty much understandable. How had FB affect your life? Is it a drug now that requires periodic dosage? Or it basically still serves as the connector to other people?

Besides that, the movie "Social Network" movie is coming up soon. Probably that might interest lots of people. Compared to the stories that talks about forefathers or how a nation was built, this movie is the equivalent the generation of the new.

Still on the point, the reason you here, probably came from a link somewhere. And where's that?

We all know that very well.




Before ending off, I can't help but place this up. And disclaimer first. I am guilty for taking this off a forum post. But I forgot who's the fella, but he is pretty humorous for coming up with this.

Relativity of the Holida-vity

Train Holiday is coming. Train Holiday is coming.

I'm sure that sounds much better than most things, especially your new jingle at the coming of your trains.

Couple of weeks seems like long, so many things to do and days pass you by.
Every was alright until you start to feel the effects of relativity.

Einstein simply put it:

"Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour. 

Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute. THAT'S relativity." 

 

Tough times will always seem like it last forever while play time go past you faster than anything else. The real thing is, when everything is over,

What's Left?

What did you make of that time. Its not hard to hop around in Facebook or around the net to find one article about leading a meaningful and fulfilling life. Usually by people who are late in their life looking back and reviewing the years that have passed.

Most of them seem to come to the same conclusion.

About being happy. Spending time on the right stuff. Working harder at what is important.

I'll say, experience a bit more things, you don't get all the chances ya know.

But know the consequences though.

After Departure

Seems like things have been going quiet around here.

I'm Sorry.

Had been thinking about this space. That it's meant to do something. Lessons go beyond the classroom.
So does Mr Cai.

Work and school had been busy for me, if you are asking. Not quite easy to take on everything. But its not a bad thing. Because this is when you really look at what you have and prioritize. Not sure about your but I think I'm a greedy person who wants to attempt everything. All these come with effort and not make it just talking only.

I guess its still exam for your so I doubt there will be visitors for this post, not for very long.
But for those who did, please pass the message that THIS SPACE will be making a come back.

Till again. Adios.
