Third anniversary
I hate Friendster because I hate feeling like I live in such a small world. I hate being confined to a network of friends and acquaintances confined to a single metropolis, a single age-bracket, a single country, a single mindset. A network confined to those who have access to it (meaning, the internet). I hate this suffocating feeling!! I just simply hate feeling like I live in such a very small world, really. Because it never was supposed to be small. Not if you let it be for you. And I’m not about to make my world this small.
I also hate Friendster because of the popularity thing. The next time one of my classmates asks me how many friendster friends I already have, I’m going to delete my account! Not that I’m losing face for competition (because I still have more friendster friends than those who ask me, mind them), but it disgusts me, the idea of collecting acquaintances for popularity contests. Pathetic… 
By the way, today, October 20, 2003 marks my third year of online-journal writing. Wohoo, still going strong!!
Yay! Congrats on your third year of online journal writing. I also agree with the popularity thing about friendster. I don’t use it that way… plus I only go on there usually when I have nothing else to do.
thanks, lauren
that’s what friendster is supposed to be di ba, not some popularity contest like what some people mainly do. Uh, I’m annoyed. :p
thanks. yah, i only go to friendster when i have nothing to do too, but sometimes people can be so obsessed with it…
I agree. I hate friendster because people seem to be having some sort of popularity contest. Plus, it confines me to my online friends. I like it though, because I’ve found friends I thought I’d never see again. Oh well, we win some, we lose some.
Congratulations on your third year! I don’t know how you do it, but I hope I’ll have the same drive as you have.
Yay congratulations!!
You know, I don’t add friends just to collect. The great thing about friendster is I’ve located old friends, old classmates (I moved schools).
OO nga..nakakainis din ung friendster na yan. Some of the people that I newly met on the net adds me kaagad sa friendster nila. Just shows na they just want to be popular rather than to be friends.
Alas, Friendster has taken the Philippine mainstream by not just a storm but a horrendously strong typhoon. But as of this writing I still have nothing to do with that fast-spreading craze, my word, even my ga-gayyems here in Pangasinan are going crazy over it. And I cannot comprehend as to what is the reason for their unsupressible impulses regarding Friendster.
Maybe I could owe my disinterest for the myriad of preoccupations this life has to offer, ach my word, I never have even a single opportunity. What a pity.
By the way, I offer Vic Renzo felicitations for his 3rd year in expressing his thoughts in web journal writing. I hope and I pray that the time comes when yours truly would be able to do so someday.
