I don’t normally post videos by vloggers by this time, it was like being slapped (or punched) straight to my face when I watched this one by Maria Elena. And I would like those who vigorously involve themselves with social networking sites (like moi), to spend some time watching this because hey, someone would like to actually literally talk to you, face to face, yeah, so, please….
I used to tweet, like, a lot. A lot = a lot. I think there was a time when I would tweet every 5 minutes (or less). And yes, I can bet my life that many people regretted (and maybe still do) following me. I was one of those who just had to tell every single boring bla bla detail of my life. Oh hey! I still do that but honestly, I think I do it much less nowadays, thankfully. Fine, I still tweet a lot, but not as much as I used to.
And I am horrified to see myself (what I used to be, what I still am right now, etc) in the video. Yeah, I mean, the person Maria was impersonating, the one so caught up in her phone, I know sometimes, I’m that person. And I’m really sorry. Now that I can see how annoying it actually is, I feel like throwing my phone and let it get run over by a lorry.
Besides, I have experienced it myself. Being with people who are obsessed with their phones. It hurts a lot more if you go out with just a friend and that friend is constantly texting/tweeting/Facebook-ing/talking/etc while you’re so called ‘hanging out’. I once played bowling all by myself while my friend was busy with her phone. Yeap. The whole game, all by myself, without talking to anyone. Actually, I was playing with someone. But it felt more like I was playing with a dead body.
Being an avid social networker myself, I don’t see any wrong in updating Twitter when you’re eating your favorite dessert or hanging out at your favorite place or saying angry stuff when you’re annoyed. I don’t see any wrong with checking in on Foursquare. But dude, checking in or updating 1 or 2 statuses only take 5 seconds if your internet line is fast and your ability to come up with a sentence is good but 40 seconds if it’s the opposite. I don’t see why you have to look at your phone all the time while your friend is talking to you.
And I can perfectly understand if you want to reply your friend’s tweets/comments/whatever saying something such as ‘Hey, when are you submitting your assignment?‘ but not tweets like ‘Oh, have you seen this movie!? Is it good?’. You know? Things that do not require urgent replies should not be entertained while you’re hanging out with people. Real people. People you see literally.
I feel bad though whenever I have to reply to my customers’ emails while I’m out with my friends. But I hope they can understand that I don’t reply to non-urgent stuff. But when customers need instant replies, then only I have to take the time to reply. It is kind of hard not to check your phone when you’re doing ‘online business’, even if the ‘business’ is as small as mine 
So yeah, there you go. I know I, too, have annoyed, and still annoy people in several occasions. But I guess I’m trying to slowly change. Need to open my eyes that there is more to life than the internet. You may think it’s not serious but you never know when you might actually hurt people’s feelings. I need to improve my ‘putting-away-phone skills’ when I’m with my family. I know I’ve annoyed them several times, sigh. Must, change, soon.
Oh okay. All those words on just social networking stuff. Okay. . .
Moving on.
I’ve been baking almost every day now. A lot of orders all of the sudden. Almost non-stop. I’m grateful for that, of course but at the same time, I’m trying to work against time, working hard to meet all the ‘deadlines’. I enjoy making the macarons, I enjoy them with all my life. So, I consider myself very lucky to be able to make money out of something I truly enjoy.
And some may think I’m super upset about moving, but honestly, I’m not that upset. Sure, who wouldn’t miss the house they thought would be their permanent home. But if you ask me, I feel much more comfortable and secure in this new house. Hey, at least I get to have my own bathroom again! The one in my old house had gone ‘haywire’ already – don’t ask why. So, yes, really, I’m okay with moving. Don’t worry about that.
Oh. After a long time of not crying, I suddenly broke down last night from missing him. The thought of having to go through so many months without seeing him in front of me flooded my mind and I don’t know, I just lost control 
But it’s like he could read my mind. After not calling for a few days, he called just now and hearing him talk provided me with some kind of ‘medicine’. Just to keep me going for a while. Sigh.
This has been a long post huh? I’d like to end this post with a happy picture, a cute song and a lovey dovey quote;
“I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride”
- Pablo Neruda.
Ugh. Yucksies. Bye.
