Asleep

Finally, I think social media has taken its toll on me. And there's no greater satisfaction in the past few days than clicking the x button of my Twitter tab or my Facebook tab. Or baka nag-iinarte lang ako. Bilang wala naman akong proper routine for working, usually, most of the time I end up browsing through my feeds. But then there's a point na umay na umay na ako sa stupid people posting stupid thoughts about stupid things. Meron ding mga nagmemerong people posting about their fallacious arguments. People defending candidates. People attacking presidentiables. Mali-mali naman 'yung arguements. People posting a tweet to show how they know things. Or people posting tweets to show how they know nothing at all. Nakakaumay.

And because of that, I have come to a solution for myself. And for the past few days it's been working naman. It gave me peace, of not hating, of not judging, of simply taking advantage of the internet (for work, for information, for other stuff).

Solution number 1:
After checking my notification (and replying if needed), I simply close the website.

Solution number 2:
For Facebook, I simply open www.messenger.com for important messages.

Solution number 3:
If there's a big urge to browse my feed or simply not to miss out important family updates, I make sure one or 2 scrolls should be made (since important/relevant issues are on top). Then close the window.

Solution number 4:
Tweet like once or twice a day lang. Tweet important thoughts. Hindi yung pagbinalikan mo sila after a year or two, di mo gets kung tungkol saan 'yon. Hay.

So far so good.

Ang dami kong alam pero sukang-suka na ako sa pagiging judgmental ng mga tao. Sa pagiging know-it-all. Sa pagiging opinyonada. Ayos lang maging opinionated pero nakakasuka na. Ang nega. Hay. Hindi ko naman maiwasan mag FB kasi minsan may trabahong nakakabit dito.

Balik na lang ako sa pakikinig kay Adele. Or sa pagbabasa ng Sherlock Homes (which I started yesterday!) Or sa pagtatrabaho talaga haha.
