Booked Face

We used to think that the Internet is that thing that people would think is everything. We were wrong. We had no idea that it will give birth to something so phenomenal that people will forget its mother: Facebook. Everyone's been checking out their friends' and crushes' statuses and the latest applications that everyone has been crazy about. Suddenly, even I had that time that I can't get enough of Facebook. I wanted to be updated 24/7 (I still do, now that I got mobile net and Facebook is for free).
Suddenly, everyone has stopped living in reality. Now, you don't see them outside. They spend their time chatting with their pals online, poking each other virtually. So, somehow, the interesting creatures involved in my people watching (the norms) can no longer be found harassing the streets of social climbing spots. They're there in the comfort of their own home (or shall I say, cafes). But suddenly, that flickering light bulb on my head came on in a jolt: Aha! Facebook made my job easier: I can people watch at Facebook.
Yeah, Facebook brought me a larger hodgepodge of people whether to love for or to spit at. They are all here! It is interesting to note that you don't see them move here but you see them do exhibitions in front of cameras (exhibition here means slanting your face and shooting yourself on bird's eye-view to get your from-atop-sideways-good-angle-even-if-it-isn't look---I do that sometimes, too, to annoy myself). There are really people really think they still got even a tiny fragment of beauty when they flash cameras on their faces. That's nice. Yeah, nice.
Also, there are people who keep on posting their feelings toward someone whether it would be anger, love, or, missing someone. It just makes me wonder why most of them are those people who cannot really speak in real life. Are they really just good at posting status on Facebook? Is that all they can do for themselves? Why do they sound cool in Facebook status and do not sound like anything at all in real life? Do they wish that they just live in Facebook and never go out of there?
And then there are those who keep you updates about them 24/7 (24/7 this time means twenty four posts in seven minutes). They are those people that tell you that they have just finished washing dishes, they have just closed the door from the bathroom, or they have just took a glance at the window to see nothing. Now, don't get me wrong, I myself do this but not, as in, TOO MUCH. I just say what I want to, and I bet this is what they are also going to say if they read this. But the thing is, do we really need to know everything?
Facebook may be everything for some people but everything is never Facebook. I have nothing against this site nor to all members of it. Hey, Facebook is cool. I didn't write this to diss anyone. I'm writing because I always write about my observations. And it's cool that I get to be connected with all of my friends and know things about them even if we don't meet anymore. I'm not writing to say that Facebook's members stupid or immature or anything... I just think that it is entertaining! The next time I want to talk about something, I just search my “favorite people”, know what' up with them, and I'm on it. You can't blame all these people; it's their escape from the cruel world. Now, let me look for the plug... hmmmmm.....
