Facebook.. FB... Falaging Bago

One of the reasons why most people connect to the internet nowadays is because of Facebook... simply coined as FB. Filipinos for one are suckers for social networking sites... the former sites were Friendster, MySpace, Multiply..hmmm the list goes on....

But let's focus on FB... for a number of months recently the Admin of Facebook keeps on changing the look of the site also the features. There was the issue of the new look of the layout that many people reacted to. They also added security features for stalkers to be kept at bay.. as if I have stalkers! hahahaha... However, one feature caught my eye today after Michelle aka Mike, posted on her shoutout about it.

Here it is!
For new friend requests, they change the selection "Ignore" with "Not Now." I was puzzled why. Well in the first place, "Ignore" is a harsh word. It has a negative connotation unlike "Not Now." "Not Now" gives one an option to put the request on hold while "Ignore" totally shuts the request out! Hahahaha... Maybe they changed it because I might be able to realized that I want to add the person in the near future!

One way or the other, FB is just like other social networking sites.. trying their best to provide the best to cater to the likes of everyone. They will never know when they will suffer the fate that Friendster had a few years back! hehehehe

septemBER... BEr ber ber months

September 1 marks the start of the Christmas season for Filipinos. BER months start the colder nights and early mornings! It is also the start of the countdown to Christmas day! You can already hear the non-stop playing of Christmas songs on the radio and people singing or humming Christmas carols! It may sound weird but that is how Filipinos are.

I am very much looking forward to this Christmas since it will be our first Christmas as husband and wife. We celebrated the season of giving like a married couple before. We schedule where we need to be on Christmas eve, Christmas day, New Year's Eve and New Year's day. I guess we will be doing it the same for this year. My and my sister are already planning something for New Year's Eve and I am really excited about it.

Also, I am browsing for Christmas gifts. I have made a list of the people I need to give gifts to! Oh gosh... the list still stays the same but the things to give is getting harder! The kids are no longer kids... the older folks might be expecting the same gifts that I give every year! Oh well time to be creative and innovative! Something useful or edible is the preference... Enough with the lotions and other stuff to personal care! Hehehehe

Good luck to me!
