Addictive FB

Facebook is so addictive, more like an obsession ...

Everyone uses Facebook. What is Facebook? Facebook is a social networking website that you can use for free. Facebook is used to connect and interact with people. People add friends to their list, send them messages, create profiles to inform their friends about themselves, upload latest photographs of themselves, and updating their friends on their everyday daily lives. Fun activities are included as well such as quizzes, online pets, poker, war games, and many more to name.

My cousin uses Facebook all the time. Each day when she wakes up, she uses Facebook. After work, she uses Facebook. After dinner, she uses Facebook. Before she sleeps, she uses Facebook. According to her, Facebook is her life. She loves facebok-ing all the time. She could update her friends on her feelings and what she's been up to. Plus, she could even check out what her friends are up to and the latest photographs of her friends as well. It's as if Facebook is a requirement to do before doing anything else at all.

I have Facebook too. I check out on people too. I think it's good to use this website to interact with people, especially if you're in Australia and most of your friends are in different parts of the world due to different plans in life that God has placed them into. It's also good since all your family and friends are so busy with work with recession driving them crazy.

But, one thing bad about it is it gets too addictive that you neglect your studies and work. Your life is everything about Facebook and you end up glueing your face to the computer facebook-ing. It's the same with Friendster, My Space & Twitter. You're just so intrigued to Facebook-ing that sometimes you don't even remember to eat, do your homework, or do the tasks your boss has delivered you to do.

One thing I learned is that when you like something, I'll try to balance it by putting my priorities first. I'm not saying Facebook is bad. I'm not criticizing Facebook. All I'm saying is that we have to finish all our tasks before Facebook-ing. For instance, I have priorities to cook, do the laundry, iron clothes, clean the apartment, do my bed, clean the bathroom, everyday before I ever do anything else. Next comes to practising my Chinese writing. Next comes to read and write. Then Facebook falls into place.

Nevertheless, Facebook is a good way to interact with your family and friends, especially if they're so busy with their work and BOYFRIENDS/GIRLFRIENDS, which happens all the time!!! It keeps you in the loop and what's going on. You could even maintain a close and clean friendship as you get to know them closer through Facebook. But of course it all varies on how close you were to them back in the olden days.

"Facebook is so addictive, I'm feeling it. I'm addictive to Facebook too. I log on to Facebook every one hour. How peculiar is that?! Except when I'm sleeping of course."
