a week ago, i deleted 350+ people on my friend's list on friendster. whew! it took me an hour to do that! that's half of what i got on my list the day before i did that!
and the reason? i don't know them. i'm a stranger to them, and so are they to me. i can't even tell their names just by looking at their photos. reading the "about me" portion on their profiles is not enough for me to know them. i guess that's not enough for me to consider them as friends.
goodness. that was so childish of me to approve and add everyone on friendster! that was so highschool!! i dunno. i only thought of having a lot of friends - so there i was approving every friend request i got from people i hardly even know.
i dunno why it was only now that i got to realize that i was sharing a lot of things i should not be sharing with people i don't know. although my profile is restricted to my friends only, i guess it was still an "open book" because i had so many friends that were "really not my friends".
what would i do to 700+ friends who would not be there when i need them, to people who wouldn't even bother to read my bulletin?
right now, i'm contented with my 365 friends whom i know will reply to my messages, read my bulletin, care to give me a testimonial, and will help me when the time comes i need their help. if you're one of those people i have on my friend's list, thanks for being a friend. you are loved by me. ;))
and for those people i deleted, i know you didn't even notice it! well, i'm sorry i have to delete you, you have to understand that i need privacy too. i don't need fake friends on friendster.
i guess i've changed a lot. i'm not "so highschool" anymore.
