rants of a bittersweet

the first time i used friendster three years ago, i never thought that it could serve far better purposes apart from personal advertisement. but then as it periodically evolved, friendster became more of a panoptic device rather than a simple "electronic billboard" for various people around the world –mostly filipinos* anyway.

as someone who has grown to love the act and process of researching (be it academic or otherwise), i can attest to the many information it can provide and has provided me so far even if you’re not really looking for it. you see, everything’s within your reach with this thing — that is, if you know how and where to look for it.

so as i go on with my usual fare of checking my homepage, i stumbled upon new things about my friends. apparently, a number are already parents (i’d rather not comment on the social implications of this. that would be outright geekiness), few already went to different places, a handful changed their looks, and some are *ding ding ding* really in a relationship. all in all, the resulting impact of these made me realize one thing:

people are having a life. apparently, im not. well, not as much as they do and i should do…

could somebody please bring me to life? i’ve been feeling devoid lately coz i sense that im missing out on a lot of things. and to add, i think i’ve been thinking too much about my thesis that it even haunts me in my sleep. argh!

i just hope that by the time i’m done with all these academic madness, life still has a lot of tricks up in its sleeves reserved especially for me coz if not, ill cry foul.
