I Hate Facebook

I lost a friend on Facebook.

No, he did not die. He can’t die. He’s invincible. Hahaha!



He decided to delete his account for reasons I can totally relate and understand.
I had my Facebook when everyone else is still into Friendster. I find the latter already gasgas thus I decided to abandon it like an unwanted child. Social networking is really not my thing. I don’t like people, especially crowded places. I hate going to parties especially when it’s full of people I don’t know. Acquaintances are forgettable and I’m a forgetful person. Blame it on drugs. The legal ones.

The problem is, everybody’s on Facebook and although a part of me doesn’t want to be there, the need to be there is unavoidable. So far, so good.

But unfortunately, there are those things that irritate me and I can’t help but share it with you because I know some if not most of you share the same sentiment.
Maldito posted a similar entry last week and commenting on his post is not enough that’s why I have to write a full entry on this. Hahaha!

1. Tagging. Some friends upload photos and tags everybody even if they’re not in the said photo. Funny photos are acceptable because everybody needs a good laugh. I have this one friend who travels frequently and when he uploads his travel photos he tags everyone in his friends list , like saying ‘I have been to this place’. Like I care kung saang impyerno ka nagpunta?

2. Game invites. Okay, you might not like the next few statements but I have to tell you I hate Facebook games so please spare me the invitations and all. I think it’s unhealthy and stupid to create a virtual farm with so many plant species on the same area. In reality, you can’t have a certain specie beside another specie because they have different needs. Watermelon needs water a lot, while mangoes prefer a warmer climate. So next time you plan to invite me as your neighbor, DON’T!

3. Bizaare status updates. People like other people to know what they’re doing at the moment. I admit, guilty din ako sa ganitong gawain, but some people go beyond the extreme and it’s quite disturbing to the point that they might actually need a shrink. I once commented on a friend’s bizaare status update, the next thing I know I’m being ‘interviewed’ by the girlfriend. Hello? Get a life.

4. Likes. Status updates that are funny, witty, intelligent and quotable deserved to be liked. But some friends tend to like one’s status update even if it’s just plain ‘good morning’, ‘good evening’, ‘is sitting’, ‘is walking’, the list goes on. Ano ba! Do you need to like everybody’s status update so they will like yours too? Kaloka! Hahaha!

5. Fan invites. Just recently, I removed a schoolmate who keeps sending a become fan suggestion of this aesthetic center. Everytime I ignore the said invitation, she keeps on sending it back. The thing is, if I wanted to be a fan of a particular person or whatever, it's up to me to look for it. And if I ignored what you suggested it obviously shows I'm not interested. Get it?

6. The dreaded pillows. I just think it's immature and annoying. If only there's an application to hit you back with a metal pipe, I would. Hahaha!

Hay naku. Marami pa sana akong sasabihin kaya lang I’m sure inis na ang ilan sa inyo na mga tinamaan.

I'm not deleting my Facebook account yet. But if you hated this post, feel free to remove me from your list. Hahaha!

Whatever. I don’t care.
