That Facebook Mania

My co-workers are going gaga over Facebook! Everyone is a fan! I remember, it was like a year ago, when my friend invited me, and a few more others sent me invites to register and join.

The site owner must have been earning millions with every registration, and clicks and applications transmitted every second. I am honestly not a fan of social networking sites. I felt that these sites are out there in the cyberworld to invade one's privacy (and it's really up to the user to choose how much information he/she is willing to expose about him/herself).

Anyway, I registered just for the sake of keeping their records online (like an addressbook). Hehe.

I would rather spend my time with the people I love face to face, and in person, than to use every applications available in Facebook.



As much as possible, I never want to spend too much time online.. maybe only if Im shopping, and ranting, and researching. Im actually pissed that uploading pictures on my private album is taking too much time! Grrr..

The Master Rapper has Wrapped Up His Life

Although it is somehow expected, I still cannot accept that Francis M has passed away. Indeed the master rapper has wrapped up his life to meet the Master (like what Joey de Leon has composed on his poem he has just made for Francis M).

I will always have respect for the man. I remember singing his songs when I was younger, simply because they are topping the hit chars. But looking back, he really made a difference in the music industry, and how people perceive nationalism.



I never knew him in person, and I cant even remember if I had ever seen him in person, but I know that he's a good person. We cannot question his passion for music, nationalism and art. He is a photographer, musician, composer and producer. What touches me more than anything else is how he stood up for his friends. I remember Ive read a comment on the Eat Bulaga website bashing Sugar (Im not sure if people would ever recognize her, but she was a Sex Bomb dancer turned comediane). Francis M actually defended Sugar on the post. Isnt it such a sweetheart move?

He will all always be the man. And his wife, Pia will always be the symbol of a fun fearless woman. I just adore the woman. Check out the blog she created for Francis regarding his battle. A happy battle that's what they call it.


Check out his multiply site to relive the life he lived well.
