"Most days of the year are unremarkable. They begin, and they end, with no lasting memories made in between. Most days have no impact on the course of a life...You cant describe great cosmic significance to a simple earthly event. Coincidence, thats all anything ever is, nothing more than coincidence. There are no miracles. There is no such thing as fate. Nothing is meant to be..."--- (500) Days of Summer.

Friendster No More

So today I decided to delete my old friendster account. I think the reason why I did it is because of my oh-so-futile attempt to keep things in my life in order, which started on the decision to keep only one social networking site. (I've deleted my old mutliply account too days ago but migrated all my blognotes on this site) It's been pretty much inactive (my FS account)  for a several months now and the last update I made was on October 2009. I have to admit deleting the old thing was not as easy as I thought it would be. I hate being too sentimental on even the tiniest things. I admit that I do have a hard time letting things go, especially those I consider sentimentally valuable because I've had them for years. I've been debating and putting off the idea of deleting my friendster account for a few days now, not because I still think it's cool but because of the sentimental value it had. I'd been a member of that site since November 2003, back when I was in my first year at college, back when it was the coolest thing ever, and back when it was the only social networking website available in the country. I was there when it started. It was my friend Paul who invited me to join.I think I had 250+ friends on that account: almost all of my college friends, highschool classmates and some nice people I've met online.  Let's face it, most people now are using facebook and eversince friendster changed its layout to look more like FB, it's been pretty much a drag, I liked FS more when it was simpler, more user friendly and less like a hybrid of FB and twitter. I liked it better when it looked like this

before it became this monstrosity

So alas, with a heavy heart I decided to delete my account of 6 years. I guess people have to find me in facebook now (and vice-versa). I wish there was a way to keep my old testimonials though, there were some very nice things that people said about me there.  Oh well, I guess it's time for me to embrace change.


FRIENDSTER IS SOOOOO LAST MILLENIA
FRIENDSTER NO MORE.
