The news feed of Facebook these days is more like spam feeds cause of gazillion games, apps, and friend updates. Recently I noticed people are just crazy over the “Share” button. Posting just anything and I mean anything. Be it a personal problem, complaints, being stressed, etc. It’s okay to share what you feel or if you’re going through something but I think there should be a limitation for it. It’s okay to seek sympathy from others but there are times that we have to keep it to ourselves cause some things are not really worth other people’s time. So anyways, if some people are big fans of the “Share” button which they like to press every now and then, I also have a feature that I really like and thankful to Facebook that they have. It’s the “Hide” button. Most people knew about this already and I’ve been using it for a while now. Just today I was reading the news feed and find some posts that are spammish so once again I pressed the “x” button next to my friend’s name and poof, gone!

I have lost count how many friends I’ve hidden in the past which are mostly hidden cause of their spam posts of their daily problems and complaints which I really don’t care about. I checked and counted the names and wow I already hidden exactly 80 of my friends out of 244. Sorry guys, I don’t want to remove you in my list but your posts are just…. too much.

Look at the scroll bar in my hidden friends box, there’s just too many of them hidden >:)

One reason why I hate power outages is because my computer always ends up like this. Sucks isn’t it?

Okay lang magbiyahe papuntang Metro Manila pero minsan sadyang nakakainis dahil siguradong may resbak sa akin ang biyahe. Taghiyawat sa mukha dulot ng madumi at mausok na paligid galing sa mga sasakyan, masakit na paa dahil sa malayuang lakaran, at wallet na walang laman dahil sa ilang beses na sakayan at mahal na bihilin kahit saan. Gayunpaman wala akong magagawa dahil ganun talaga sa Maynila, mausok, mahal ang bilihin, sa byahe palang nakaka-stress na. Sana lang talaga makahanap na ‘ko ng trabaho doon para mabawasan ang iniisip ko.

Do you use instant messaging and likes to chat? If yes, I hope you can relate with me. If not, try to relate with me. I chat everyday. I talk with friends and other people. It’s fun. It’s a perfect activity to kill time. When you talk with people you often talk about many things and it will take you to different topics as you chat. Now to ask, how long does it take you to reply to someone you’re talking to? Usually when you’re talking about something you reply immediately as long as you receive a message. That’s the common practice of chatting. You send a message, they’d reply, and you respond again. It’s a cycle until you end a conversation or there is no need to reply. Give and take of answers. If someone is asking you, you should be able to respond immediately. This is important if you’re in a middle of a conversation. You do not leave a question hanging otherwise you’re being rude (unless you have informed the person that you’re busy or you’re doing something else). With the people that I’ve talked to, some just gets on my nerves. It’s irritating. It’s not about what we’re talking about, but the fact that whenever I send a message, the person I’m talking to takes 5 minutes or so to reply. It’s like you’re waiting for an email. But no, it’s instant messaging. You should be able to respond in an instant, whether you’re holding something in your one hand you can type slowly with the other but it’s not gonna take 5 minutes. This is more annoying if you’re asking something and you have to wait for too long for a reply and the only answer you get is one word – “yes”. What you see in your chat window is like the person is writing a paragraph and then you get a single word as a reply which is “yup”.

Person: (type-type-type-erase-type-type-erase-erase-type) 11:40:35am
<takes a while still no reply>
Person: yup. 11:45:46am

What was that all about? Sometimes you ask a question, say 3 questions and you only get an answer for the 3rd.

You: what’s the site again?
You: do i need to sign up?
You: where do i see the instructions?
Person: you can see it at the bottom of the page.

<Then you have to ask the questions again>

Is the person you’re talking to ever reading your chat? I guess not. When I chat I always reply to every question. But for some people, they just don’t care. They won’t bother reading up your first questions and answer them. Aside from the fact that they can’t respond immediately and send an annoying short answer, they don’t read what you’re saying.

So there, I have no problems with people chatting but I hope you get the point. I don’t mind chatting with people who types slow (because I’m not a fast typer too) but I appreciate them more because they can respond immediately as soon as you send a message. Don’t be annoyed if the person is busy, though.
