Finding Friends

I couldn't access my other blog site so I decided to do this here. I think this will be much more accessible to me whenever a new thought pops into my head.

I caught another bandwagon and now I'm addicted to friendster.com. I started out just to hook up with a college friend. I would have forgotten all about it if a high school friend hadn't asked to be added to my friend's list. Now, I check it everyday. I have added friends from high school and college plus my former officemates as well. I have a grand time checking out who has a profile and found some of my childhood crushes (I couldn't believe I liked them before!). It's very, very tempting to check out how popular one is by comparing how many friends you have against someone who you really don't like. What I like most about it is that I can get to reconnect with both old and new friends. If I want to announce something, I can simply post it on my bulletin board. I log in and I can send messages to my friends (since they are logged in almost everyday anyway) without having to check out my address books for their email addresses or cellphone numbers. During lunchtime, the whole department went crazy checking on their friendster lists. They found people who signed in as Mike Arroyo, Heart Evangelista, Luis Manzano, etc. One of the OJTs decided to send a message to the one who is claiming to be Mike Arroyo (his picture also showed GMA!). We'll see what happens next when he responds.
