Addicted to Facebook?

-

Like Netia, Lani and Jody, I too, have admitted to my facebook addiction..ahar..(yes acceptance stage)

Facebook is slowly guiding me down the path of a very unhealthy lifestyle..mioe

While I was driving to my postpartum appointment this past Tuesday, K-C of 104.3FM was raving on about facebook and how MOBILE USERS are 2 times more addicted than regular Computer Users. WTF??

I have the FACEBOOK APP on my Iphone and at the time, I was in DENIAL and thinking out loud in my car by lonesome “WHATEVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRR..sooooooooooooo NOT true”, when really it is INDEED the honest TRUTH. I find myself clicking on facebook almost all the dang time.
Whether I’m feeding my baby, lying on the bed, cooking, cleaning, doing laundry, sitting on my toilet bowl, having a conversation with my husband, in church (sad but true) or even while I’m at the stop lights (warning signs: DANGER DANGER)

I can’t seem to stay away and this only began when I started maternity leave. I find myself spending hours and hours on Facebook playing Sorority Life, Mafia wars, SocialInterview and my latest obsession, CAFÉ WORLD (I blame Nets for this). There are just too many damn apps on there and they’re all so cool and fun and entertaining and just too damn addicting.

So before I drop deep into this darn superficial form of intearaction, and graduate from Social Networking to Social Disfunction….I’ve decided to do something about it.

Whaaaaaaalaaaaaaaaaaaaa, I’ve BANNED MYSELF from Facebook starting 12am this morning, October 30th, 2009.
Heck I even deleted the app from my phone so I WON'T be tempted..

I didn’t want to set a limit as to when or how long; I’m just gonna roll wif it and see how far it takes me or how far I can live without it. Lol

So far I’m doing pretty good, But I know I'll be going through some serious withdrawals PRETTY SOON..lol.

BUT, BUT....I'm innocent, it was not I but the Cafe's fault!!! (warming up to the idea) yeah it was....or blame Facebook...that's the culprit of all mankind's problems bwahahahaha: Economic depression, global warming, the chewing gum on the bottom of my shoe..all of it :) but yeah on a serious note - whoo hoo, good on you! I've noticed a difference and because in the 2 and 1/2 days I was gone, started my old hobbies again (non web based)which I'm keeping up with, which really helps me with the log on once a day thing :)

that cheating *basket*

I’ve been debating this issue for a while now (ever since Coconut Girl blogged about affairs on the seawall and under the coconut tree) There’s this one girl I went to College with. WE aren’t best friends or even good friends. We just know each other and would usually make small talk when we meet at the isles in Foodland doing our Sunday shopping. I know her husband though. Quite WELL!!  And what a sleazy piece of *bleep* he is. The whole time they were together/dating/going out or whatever the heck you wanna call it, he’s been playing the poor girl. I know this because he tried his moves on me, BUT, major fail-didn't work. I was a very very good girl focused on school and the HOT Tongan boys-YUM! Anyways, they're married and have 2 little girlies. About a handful of people know he still does his usual; even some of her good friends know and I’m surprised they haven’t even told her. (or maybe they have but she’s being in denial?) He’s so good at being a sleaz...

Outrageous 'saogamea'

-
Am I the only one who thinks it's blardy absurd to donate/give/contribute to a 'faalavelave' for a very distant relative? ie: great grandmother's sister's son's daughter's son's wife's dad's passing away? COME ON, have you even met them before? This is one thing that irks me about the 'faasamoa', the need to give and GIVE even while we struggle to make ends meet or have absolutely NOTHING to give. Is this the faasamoa or is it just my family being 'fiakagaka/fiakele'? Whatever the case, I'm sick of it. I called home tonight to talk story with my parents, ONLY, they weren't home because they were off dropping off the 'fesoasoani' i le maliu a le aiga o Pai. I talked with my sister and I asked her who's funeral it was. Her response, "Who knows, (the big family matai) just dished out 'saogameas' saying it's family" To be honest, I don't mind the saogameas, as long as they're r...
