Facebook Blocking (And How And Why You Should Sometimes Just Stay Away)




       So there’s this Facebook female friend of a friend of mine who texted him this morning telling him that she was blocking him because she had sent him a “provocative” private message yesterday (February 14) and was embarrassed by it.  (She was probably carried away by the occasion.) Personally, he says he doesn't find the message “provocative” and it seems like she was just kidding. Well, jokes are half-meant, some will argue. Provocative messages for him are the ones with attached nudes, or least ones that show a cleavage. Or one that starts with the question: “What are you wearing in your bed tonight?” Lol. Anyway, it looks like she won’t change her mind about the blocking so my friend will remain blocked, which is sad, because they have been friends for so long.

       And speaking of Facebook blocking, a few weeks ago, I read a post in Facebook where a guy, after a girl (which he had a crush on and to whom he had sent the usual admiring but harmless messages) went missing for a couple of hours, was questioned by the girl’s relatives. The reason he was interrogated and was almost hauled to the nearest barangay hall? The girl blocked him in Facebook a few days before she went missing.  If the girl blocked him, the girl must have felt unsafe with him, the girl’s relatives intelligently surmised. Fortunately, it turned out the girl was just with her friends and was too busy having fun to bother with her family’s inquiring text messages.

       But still, the lesson to be learned here is, when somebody blocked you in Facebook because you annoy (intentionally or not) this somebody, you need to stay away from this person until he or she unblocks you. Nobody blocks on a whim, if somebody hostile blocks you, then he or she must have really gotten tired of you. Don’t text, don’t email, don’t send gifts, don’t create anonymous social media accounts and don’t sleep outside this person’s house. Unless you cherish being hauled to a barangay hall or worse, to a police precinct.

       Don’t make your embarrassment worse.

This is kind a funny as well as serious article, not all of us are aware of consequences and we take blocking for granted. One should always stay away from the person if he/she had blocked you..

"Hey, This Song Has Built A House Inside My Head!"

Image
If you'd notice, I'd put a little musical thingamajig somewhere on this blog and I called it Last Song Syndrome. Last Song Syndrome, of course, happens when a song you just heard refuses to leave your mind for hours or even for days. You sing it or hum it while working or while taking a bath or changing your baby's or your granddad's diaper or taking your dog for a walk or just bumming around. I listen to a lot of Pink Floyd songs so most often than not, it is a Pink Floyd song that will always swirl inside my head. But I also listen to other musicians. I'll try to dissect and write a small background of every song that I will feature in this blog. The Final Cut is one of my fave Pink Floyd songs. Very emotional, very depressing and has great vocals by Roger Waters , it is one of the songs from the album The Final Cut (an anti-war CD that was released in 1983), the last album where Roger Waters (Pink Floyd's main songwriter) took part in. After that album, Water...

AND HERE'S SOME BAD NEWS...

Image
Seventeen years ago, Maureen Hultman, 16 years old, Roland John Chapman, 21 and Jussi Olavi Leino, 24, were returning home from a party when they were accosted and confronted by Claudio Teehankee Jr, 45. Teehankee, who was unknown to the three, demanded some identification. Leino took out his wallet and showed Teehankee an ID. Chapman approached them and asked Teehankee: “Why are you bothering us?” Teehankee drew out his gun and shot Chapman in the chest. “Why did you shoot me?” Chapman asked Teehankee as he was crumpling to the ground. Chapman died on the spot. Teehankee then ordered the now hysterical Hultman and Leino to sit together on the sidewalk. While seated, unarmed and begging for mercy, the two were gunned down by Teehankee. Hultman was killed while Leino survived and later identified Teehankee as the gunman. The nation was enraged with that senseless crime and demanded that the death penalty be restored. Teehankee was sentenced to one count of reclusion perpetua (ranging f...
