no shame at all...

** written earlier this afternoon....

how often do see a person singing while listening to their music player??? for me, i would say at least twice every week....unless you include someone who is just plain and simply crazy who sings whether there's music or not.

while i am here in the subway waiting for the train to come, this woman (not a child but a grown a$$ adult) was sing and somewhat dancing at the same time. looking at her attire, i don't think she's mentally challenged. anyway, the platform is very crowded but this does not bother her at all. she was basically living in her own little world. i don't really care what people do in their own space but if an innocent victim (yes, i am a victim) does not have a choice but to listen to a voice only a mother could love (or not), i think that is a major crime. they should just sing at the privacy of their own home or anywhere as a matter of fact but not just here.

okay, i will admit that every now and then i do hum while listening to my iPod. but i don't burst out singing for everyone to hear me. the only time you will hear me sing is during family gathering (usually my family would have to forced me) or at a karaoke bar with friends.

anyway, a capella is great if the person has a great voice. other than that, it's just torture to people listening. and she is just that, torture. my train is coming now. i better make sure that don't go inside the same car she is heading.

facebook fasting - week 2

what is this mess that i signed up for?? it's barely two weeks and i am getting facebook withdrawal syndrome. i find myself typing "fa" every time i log on to my computer. i'm just glad that i'm catching myself before i complete the whole thing. to make it even worked, i even removed it from my itouch - although my niece asked me early today why did i do that (she likes to borrow it from time to time).

here is what i found on urban dictionary about facebook withdrawal:

the process of seperating a facebook whore from his or her computer for an extended amount of time. the process is life-threatening and can result in extreme mood swings.

in withdrawal, users may go through four phases:

1. craving
2. fear
3. denial
4. depression

some cases include instances where individuals try to use MySpace as an alternative, but this ends badly when they realize you cannot just click on the picture to make the next one appear

facebook addiction is an issue with many consequences, one of them being, addiction withdrawal symptoms experienced when the facebook is discontinued. The symptoms of facebook withdrawal at times may be severe, if not life threatening.

amy: why is ryan crying?
sarah: because he can't log onto facebook.
amy: oh, so ryan is having facebook withdrawal?
sarah: yeah, and now he is in the denial stage.

anyway, five more weeks to go. not too excited about it but hey, at least i am trying my best to commit to it.

**note: i am on phase 1 - craving LOL
