Started To Feel Annoying

Three days leaving Facebook world, 13 friend requests. All male, none of them I know, with one so-cheesy-it-makes-you-vomit-in-your-mouth message: “Ih, kaya Manohara, deh.”

This has to be straighten out. Which Manohara would he mean? Before or after married to that Fachry? Not that I like her, but I wouldn’t mind to be called identical with Manohara before the Kelantan ordeal. But after married? She’s…… fat, you know….

Well, that’s not really my point.

Little by little, Facebook is becoming more like Friendster, where it doesn’t feel like a social network, but an anonymous dating service instead. Some of you may think that I’m too suspicious to new people slash strangers, but to be frank, I never have the intention to meet new people on Facebook. I use the famous social network to stay in touch with my old & current friends, acquaintances & family members. Little opportunity is opened for new acquaintance on the grounds of either we went to the same university, or highschool, or have worked at the same office, or seeking connection for business & academic purposes, or he/she is my blog friend.

I have my own reason for that. My facebook, as I’ve told you, is a tool for me to get connected with my acquaintances & friends, both from the past & the present. So, I provide more than enough information about myself there. From where I work, my personal email address, my YM account, phone number, to address. They’re sensitive information for me to give out to strangers!

I’ve limited the option that only people in my network that can view my profile. I’ve also removed the option that show ‘add as a friend’ link on my profile, but I guess it doesn’t work. Ah, I know…. Maybe I should change the profile picture with a photo of me & my boyfriend….

Facebook

Karena kepenasaranan dan ketidakinginanuntukdibilanggaptek gue bikin account Facebook. Tapi akhirnya gue jadi mikir lagi, sebenerya buat apa sih bikin account Facebook?

Aplikasinya kebanyakan tapi ga penting gitu. Isinya kuis, kirim gambar aneh-aneh… Setiap nambah aplikasi kita harus ngundang temen buat join juga. Nanti kita dikasih daftar temen kita yang diurut alfabetis. Berhubung nama gue Anastha Eka, berawalan ‘A’, pastinya nama gue muncul di awal-awal friend list temen-temen gue. Jadi, ga dicek seminggu aja bisa ada bepuluh-puluh application invitation ga penting.

Terus keliatan gitu temen gue yang paling ga ada kerjaan. Soalnya satu hari gue bisa dapet 15 application invitation dari dia. Ketauan banget kan kerjaan dia cuma nge facebook doang seharian….

Tapi sekali lagi, karena ketidakinginanuntukdibilanggaptek, account masih bisa diliat di sini.
