Everyone is connected in one way or another. An ex-significant other may be the schoolmate of one of your colleagues. This colleague may know the current significant other of another colleague. Thus, the current significant other your other colleague may know your ex-significant other.
Confusing? I guess that is why there is an emergence of various social networking sites. Site A helps you connect and share with the people in your life. Site B claims that it is a place for your friends. Site C focuses on helping you stay in touch with friends and discover new people and things that are important to you. Site D strengthens and extends your existing network of trusted contacts.
These sites suddenly find connections through the relationships you currently have. It may seem be interesting to find out that you are related to this certain someone in some way but on the other hand, it may also be freaky because the world it getting smaller which is a great advantage for stalkers.
So, should I kill my online life?

On Not Meant To Be
There are times when one subconsciously feels that there are things that needs to be attended too. For instance --- work. At the back of one's head one cannot help but think about those work eklavush. Even if it is not that urgent, the mind wanders how to get things done especially with all those "cuts" -- there is no security.
I do not know what I ate, but for the past two days I left the office at past eight. Take note, my manager or lead did not ask me to stay. It was my own initiative to "work". As if that was not enough, tonight I brought home work! Then again, one of the files I copied was corrupted.
It is not meant to be ... I guess.

Things to Check Before Going Down A Vehicle
1. Radio
2. AC
3. Lights
4. Engine
5. Lock
6. Alarm
One would think everything was covered in the list above. But guess what? When we got back to the car the window at the driver's side what 100% open! *Toink* How would the driver not notice that the window was still wide open when she went down the vehicle?
I honestly do not know since I was not the one who left it. Good thing nothing was stolen (as if!), and it did not rain or else...

On I Don't Want to Wear Socks
I had this conversation with my 4 year old cousin who was about to go back to Chicago...
Cousin: I want to go home when I grow up.
Me: How old are grown ups?
Cousin: 10
Me: So where is home?
Cousin: *points down"
Me: Philippines or United States of America?
Cousin: Philippines.
He does not want to leave, but he has too. So I asked him to wear his socks because in less than an hour they need to go to the airport. But, guess what he said?
I do not want to wear socks cause I'm not going out.
Awww.
Eventually he knew he had to leave. So he allowed me to help him with his socks. While I helped him he asked me, are you coming with me and mom, right?
My heart melted again.
In the end my cousin left. However, he left with the expectation that I would visit him soon. He already saved a spot for me in his room so that we can play all day long.
