Guilty of this?
Are you a Facebook addict?
MANILA - Facebook users beware. Psychologists are now probing a new kind of addiction called Facebook Addiction Disorder (FAD).
Psychologist Dr. Michael Fenichel, who has published numerous writings on FAD online, describes it as a situation in which Facebook usage "overtakes" daily activities like waking up, getting dressed, using the telephone, or checking e-mail.
"The amazing thing is that, like cellphones, nobody seems to notice the vast amount of time and energy - at work, at home, and now while on the move - people are devoting to Facebook. It has become a given," Fenichel writes in an online post titled "Facebook Addiction Disorder- A New Challenge?"
FAD could be classified under the more broad "internet addiction disorder" or internet overuse.
Academic papers have already posed theories on internet addiction and social networking addiction, and even less, cellphone addiction.
"Like most activities, moderation and integration are key. Those that may seriously label and treat FAD as a behavioral addiction will clearly need to use context in determining if a behavior has become demonstrably harmful to overall social, work, or face-to-face interpersonal efficacy," Fenichel added.
You are a Facebook addict if...
According to Joanna Lipari, a clinical psychologist at the University of California, Los Angeles who was interviewed for a CNN report, here are some signs that you are addicted to Facebook:
1. You lose sleep over Facebook. When using Facebook becomes a compulsion and you spend entire nights logged on to the site, causing you to become tired the next day.
2. You spend more than an hour a day on Facebook. Lipari said it is difficult to define how much is too much when it comes to Facebook usage, but that an average person need only spend half an hour on the site.
3. You become obsessed with old loves or exes you reconnect with on Facebook.
4. You ignore work in favor of Facebook. This means you do not do your job in order to sneak time on Facebook.
5. The thought of getting off Facebook leaves you in cold sweat. If you try going a day without Facebook and it causes you stress and anxiety, this means you need help.
According to the same report by Elizabeth Cohen, Senior CNN Medical Correspondent, Facebook addiction is not yet an actual medical diagnosis.
However, the report notes that several therapists in the United States have noticed a rise in the number of clients who get hooked on social networking, to the point of social dysfunction.
Facebook fun
Facebook, launched by the world's youngest billionaire Mark Zuckerberg, has over 300 million users worldwide, half of whom log on to the site every day.
Further, about 2 billion photos and 14 million videos are uploaded on various Facebook pages a month and about 6 billion minutes are spent on Facebook a day, worldwide.
According to Willis Wee, founder of the social media and marketing blog Penn-Olson.com, this is twice as much time that people spend on Google.
The global social networking website allows users to post and share content (like photos, links, videos, and notes), play casual games and applications, and interact with friends and family through messaging and chat. abs-cbnNEWS.com. With reports from CNN.com.
As much as I'd like to deny, yes I'm guilty as charged :(

‘看’
人心是脆弱的。何必一而再，再而三地以说教的名义重伤它？何必因为一些表面的事情，质疑人心？人性本善，性本恶，一切看你怎么看。
‘看’，有时候不能用眼睛看。当看不清楚时，不如试试，拿下眼镜，闭上眼睛，用心去看。
说不定，你可以看得更清楚，也不需要再拿着锐利的嘴做人了。
要看，也请你尽早看。不要等到了把人逼上梁山之时才醒悟。到时你将后悔莫及。

Optimism is back
I've deleted the previous post. What is the purpose of brooding over unhappy things in life. The sooner you forget about them, the better. Why would I need a blog post to remind me like stains on a white shirt.I've remembered the lesson learnt through the horrendous week. Aiming to do my best is better than striving to do THE best. Instead of motivating you, the stress might just backfire and make you procrastinate more. Knowing that I've screwed mid term and presentations for 2 modules, all the more should I look forward and prepare to do well for the rest of the components which are more doable :)
Actually, it was Chiu Yan who told me that. I'm glad that I have people to whine to when I need and people to give me sound advice at the precise moments. I can't express my gratitude enough to these friends around me. I guess the only way is to be there for them, just like they've been there for me.
I am blessed :)
Still, I think Taylor's Breathe is a great song~! Such talented young girl is a role model to all~

月有阴晴圆缺
锦瑟 李商隐锦瑟无端五十弦，一弦一柱思华年。
庄生晓梦迷蝴蝶，望帝春心托杜鹃。
沧海月明珠有泪，蓝田日暖玉生烟。
此情可待成追忆，只是当时已惘然。
嫦娥 李商隐
云母屏风烛影深，长江渐落晓星沉。
嫦娥应悔偷灵药，碧海青天夜夜心。
水调歌头 苏轼
明月几时有？把酒问青天。
不知天上宫阙、今夕是何年？
我欲乘风归去，惟恐琼楼玉宇，
高处不胜寒．起舞弄清影，何似在人间？
转朱阁，低绮户，照无眠。
不应有恨、何事长向别时圆？
人有悲欢离合，月有阴晴圆缺，此事古难全。
但愿人长久，千里共蝉娟。
