Noise and Kisses- Week 2

Whoo hooo!! Social Media!!!

Something i have done before. Social Networking has been incorporated into my life, i really wonder how i survived the days before MSN and Facebook. When a new social networking website is created, i was so "wowed" by it all i didn't think it could get any better than this. But it did.. it got so much better each year! MSN kept upgrading itself, and then there was flickr, then there was friendster (though i never created an account) and then there was facebook, which i created simply just for fun because all my friends were taking photos and telling me to look it up on facebook. I watched as each of my friends got sucked into the facebook world and were ranting about it's wonders. At first i didn't think it was fantstic, then i decided to just give it try.
Now, i am consumed by facebook. I log on when im bored, i go on it when i'm waiting to leave the house even though i know not much could have changed since i last logged on about and hour ago, i scan through when i am waiting for a page to load or when i'm waiting for a friend to reply on MSN. It sounds sad how i have become so absorbed by this once insiggnificant idea of joining some website so people can contact you, but it has done wonders! I have gotten back in contact with people whom i haven't seen or heard from since elementary days, and before i knew it, they were visiting Singapore and we were back in the old days! :> Not to the mention the awesome and cute applications facebook offers. The applications are so fun to us and are great ways of showing affection and care. From giving a friend a 'hatching egg' with adorable baby animals to posting customized postage notes on another friend's profile for the world to see.

Another favortie of mine is youtube and the hilarious videos you can find of people doing the stupidest and most random things, yet they are amazingly entertaining. Also, the little clips of shows you wish you could watch but don't have access to are available on youtube.

This is a funny video a friend sent me. It made my day!!! Its a tamil song with English "subtitles" of what the words sound like.
