Facebook

I was first introduced to Facebook by a friend of mine back home. She is from Virginia and she was traveling in Vietnam at the time. I still remember her exact words, "You should have Facebook. Everybody has Facebook, it's amazing." So I got a Facebook account in the hope of keeping in touch with my friend for she was about to leave Vietnam. And then Facebook, for God knew what reason, started spreading and everyone I knew suddenly had a Facebook account. It became so popular that we decided to drop our other typical means of communication and use Facebook only. It was easy and convenient; we loved it. It gradually becomes a (bad) habit that you can never seem to break out of; like a sweet desert after dinner that you try in vain to resist. However, unbelievable as it sounds, I have grown to hate Facebook. I still check it daily, for I want to know if anyone is dropping me a note, but I feel like my life is being manipulated by some mere website and I am frustrated. I find it amusing and laugh inside when strangers spend hours in the computer lab to look at pictures and chit chat on Facebook. God! No offense to people, but that is p.a.t.h.e.t.i.c. Why don't they spend their timemore productively and, say, read or something? That's what I do every weekend now. I'm so happy that for the first time in my life I have access to more books than I can ever read. It's amazing. So if you're thinking about banning Facebook, ban away. I'm not stopping ya.
