Facebook Ng Duga
Yes... I got a Facebook account.
Just a while ago I got one of Jameelah's texts. To describe it as "a welcome surprise" is a huge understatement. Straight out fact is that receiving her texts are a God-send to my effectively lonely cellphone. Outside of work and some calls from friends, Jameelah has been a very pleasant distraction from what one can consider a rather plain life.
So basically, her text this time was to tell me that she will be heading back to England mid-October. Being half Filipina, her nationality is effectively British. Along the lines of asking how she was doing, and her returning the gesture, she asked me if I had a Facebook account. I did not.
Not one for the hype of some commonly used Internet meme, I chose to avoid such Community sites after what I can only call as the Friendster-Flop. As clearly evidenced by my choice of an online Journal provider being NOT MULTIPLY, I prefer a little subterfuge to my personal ramblings.
ANYWAY, after I told her I was Face-Less she explained that she had a Facebook and wanted to keep in touch with me after her departure. It was impossible to refuse.
So... now I'm on Facebook, slowly learning the nuances of this 'famous' meme. Not because I want to be famous to the world, not for the LoLz, and most certainly not to be in the "In Crowd". No... I did it because she asked.
