What's been twining me lately till i havent updated any post in some time? This..... lol *just joking*
Actually what i've wanted to share is not this engagement with my Him on Facebook. Is the meaning of the relationship status on Facebook. I bet everyone have watched this on Youtube before. Here's the video: South-park Facebook
1:47 minutes his girlfriend asked him "Am i a joke to you?" "Relationship status SINGLE?".
Nowadays everyone is a social media/networking/tech-obsessed person. Thanks to Facebook. Everybody loves to have their life up-to-date according to their Facebook/Twitter/Foursquare accounts. And i'm sure readers, you are one of them! There's no denying the influence of social media today. Everyone and even his mother have a Facebook page. and our online personas have become a legitimate facet of our social lives. For many people, that means that becoming Facebook official does represent a significant milestone in the progress of a serious relationship. Some might said that " I think it's kind of like saying you are committed to that person and you want everyone to know it." is it? And nowadays there are people breaking up by just a mouse-click on Facebook changing relationship status to 'single'. lol
Well, i personally felt that when someone did that, it definitely meant something to them. Things happens for a reason. Yes, there are some people playing around, abuse the relationship status. But yet there are some who dont. Here's a real live example. Me and my Him lost our best friend last Sunday. He met an accident and he answered GOD's calling. We were both very sad, and technically we are still in mourn for him. Whenever he's around, we only remember the laughters, the fun we had together. But until the moment that we lost him, we realized he's so important to us. He listed my Him as a 'brother' on Facebook. It may mean nothing but a relationship status for some of you, but for us, he meant more than just a friend. He's our lil' brother. He did that because he truly treated him as a real brother.
Sometimes, something, you may found it hilarious, but there's always the irony behind it.
In memories to our lil' bro, Jason Chai.

We will be missing every single moment with you.
Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.
Love,
