people on my facebook feed



howdy folks! apparently, my articulate juices skipped on me for the past months. i was always having thoughts to blog certain events or just random things, but i just couldn't find the drive. damnnn!! but today is feeling different. thus, i opened blogger and words came one after another.

i wanted to share with you the varied personalities i encounter everyday via my facebook feed. interesting how one's online activity tells alot about his breeding, taste and preferences for things, demeanor and even the superficiality of some.

1. Online sellers - these are people who build up their network through the social media. they may bug your feed with products they sell, or even re-share their previous posts to refresh your memory on their items. i don't mind them really as long as they don't flood their products whole day on my feed, and they don't post their feedback each time. i even admire their courage to come out and sell online, in fact i even support some whose products (especially fooooood) tickles my fancy.

2. Ranters - bitter, unsatisfied, envious and unhappy people. these are people who  no nothing but rant on facebook. just goes to show what they're made of. honestly, these do not show on my feed anymore because i hid them all now. i don't have time for their drama and discontents.

3. Sports Analysts - people of this kind floods our feed in 2 occasions, when it's the nba finals and when manny pacquiao is on the ring.  all of a sudden everyone becomes so expert at the sport, airing out what had gone wrong with the game, the less defense played by the opposing team, the unpreparedness of one, and so forth. you get detailed analysis of the game, now move over ronnie nathanielsz!!! hahaha

4. Stock Market Gurus - i don't know with yours, but i have them in mine. yawooohooo!!! i have quiet a number of fb friends who invest in the stock market. i also subscribe to a certain group which is solely created for stock market affairs. i appreciate these people, i welcome them. hehehe i am a newbie in the stock market world, so their updates mean the world to me. jargons are not as foreign a they used to, thanks to them.

5. Gandang-ganda Sa Sarili Peeps - love them or hate them, they're taking their selfies and ootds just the same! hahaha these are people who just go to the world and show them what they have, flaunt it, capture it, and post it! im okay with it, just do it in moderation dear. when you're beautiful, you're beautiful. no need for multiple angle shots.

6. Teenyboppers - not that  belong to this age, but i probably have them on my feed care off my cousins. i can't relate. i got lost when i first read 'TBH' on their wall posts. what the hell does tbh stand for?! until just recently, i had it all figure out that it's suppose to mean 'to be honest', sorta like what precedes before you write your testimonial about him or her. friendster anyone? hehhe  yeahh my age reveals!

7. The Lurkers - well technically they don't appear on your page, because obviously they just open facebook to run their fingers through the mouse to browse thru fb. but you know they're updated because they know your events and how your latest profile picture looks like.

there may be some other personalities on your facebook feed, and that's quite a lot of varied personalities entering your senses. admit it or not, some consume you, others affect you in different ways, while  there are those who inspire you. it is up to us which ones we allow to make a mark on our lives. imagine every waking moment of your life, as you open through facebook you are faced with these people. really, everything is a matter of choice. never let one person define what you can do nor eat your whole energy out. press that unfriend option or simply hide them from your feed.

we all should learn how to manage what comes in of our system, whether they may be food, choice of music we want to listen, advise we want to follow, and yes even the kind of people we choose to be with. life is indeed better spent with people who share the same as we do.

how about you, who are you on facebook?
