Living Well

I am glad I have friendster account so I could connect to my friends both old and new, my childhood playmates, even my not-so-close schoolmates, not-so-close “kababayans”, former colleagues, including my Mamang’s students that became my high school schoolmates, my relatives, etc. Though I wanted to keep my account for my close friends or to the people I really know, I just don’t have the guts to decline their friend requests so I keep adding and adding people in my account that are of no significance to me. But another thing happened yesterday. I received a friend request from Carol’s classmate back in elementary or high school (I’m not so sure). I am about to approve the request when a voice was telling me to check the account first so I did. The moment I opened his account, I was shocked to see some of his friends’ primary photos naked. Yes, I mean N-A-K-E-D, explicitly showing the private parts. That was really gross! I don’t know if it’s their own photo but one thing is for sure, I don’t want those photos and I don’t want that kind of account be in my network so I declined sending him a message that I cannot approve his request because I don’t feel comfortable with those photos. Call me “old-maid”, old-fashioned, or whatever. I don’t really feel comfortable with those photos. I was even disappointed to see my sister Che-Che’s photos posing like a flirt and told her to delete it. I don’t know if she deleted those photos because I am not visiting her page anymore.
