My Facebook Suicide Note*

MY FACEBOOK SUICIDE NOTE*

So my journey is about to be cut short,
A few more clicks and my online existence is not,
A few more tears as I look back,
At the few years since I added my first contact.

I try to find a suitable stateus status,
Hopefully it's one without errors
I would like to say "goodbye world"
Since the begining of code is "hello world"

There are many friends I stand to lose along the way,
but I know I'll see them in REAL life some day,
A few enemies I've added as friends,
But they're the ones I hope not to see again.

There were random people I never knew,
But being a nice guy..accept was all I'd do!
Then there were hearts and drinks and farms,
"Gosh,they're turning us all into facebook bums!"

I wonder what life will be like without facebook
But I realize all I have to do is logout and LOOK :)
People tell me to get a life
but what I would prefer to get is a good wife
In reply I sometimes say get some bookface
You can never win the friends race
Too many friends to track and trace
What matters is not the quantity of your friends
but the quality that matters when your account ends!

So here I am staring at the deactivate button,
Seriously "I'm really gonna do it come on!"
I look back one last time with a tear in my eye
I don't wana live my life on facebook I just wanna die*!

##Please be advised that the following is only a poetic expression of my feelings and the conflict inside me as to whether I really need to be on facebook or not.This does not in anyway mean that I am suicidal (well that is up to you to decide :P) I love my life and I treasure it as a gift from God.Please don't kill yourself after reading this...try to GET a REAL life instead :P ##


* ANY REFERENCES TO FACEBOOK SUICIDE AND DEATH AS MENTIONED HERE ONLY REFERS TO DEACTIVATING A FACEBOOK ACCOUNT AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY.

I posted this on my facebook...but I'm still considering my facebook suicide :P

"A glimmer of hope!" :)

I got an email yesterday from G who owns Tech Voice Data,about with a reference from L (the Canadian) that I was involved with briefly...she had recommended me to him and he wants to meet me for some business,possibly contract work.This could be my BIG BREAK! but I still want to find something to support myself while I wait for the 15th February meeting date....I am excited but not without a hint of pessimism-I don't think contract work will fly with immigration people. The requirements for anyone expressing interest in residing in New Zealand (at least in my case as a skilled migrant) is that I find suitable employment relevant to my field of study. I want to apply but I don't want the uncertainty of not knowing if I qualify. I can only keep trying so in the past few days I applied to about 9 IT related jobs within Auckland but I only got one reply today :

"We have received your job application for Technical Support / Office Administrator and thank you for your interest in this opportunity.

Your details have been assessed and unfortunately your application does not meet our position requirements.

We thank you for forwarding your details and wish you all the best in your job hunt."

I would appreciate some specific reasons why I do not meet the "requirements" but unfortunately most emails I get don't mention anything except for one which had an online form that I filled in a rush because I was on a public computer and did not have enough time to check.Read it below :

"Although your skill set closely matched what we were looking for,
grammatical errors in your application showed us that your written
English is not up to the level that we need for this customer facing
role."

Now,I don't know if anyone has noticed that I'm not perfect or not...I do make mistakes and admittedly,I acknowledge that I was at fault for not checking "grammatical errors" that may have been present.This one seems to have eluded me :(

Well,I'm not one who gives up so easily...like that darn energizer bunny.....I'll keep on keeping on until something gives. Thanks to all my family and friends for the support and to Kezia.

I am living in a different "undisclosed location" temporarily and hopefully I will be able to work at the local supermarket or whatever. I am still pretty "plus plus" ++ about everything....so hope my enthusiasm and positivity doesn't run out.

"I won't pay,I won't pay, no waaayayayay!"- theres no place like home..click click :P

If you don't know how a packet of "fmf breakfast crackers" can bring a man far,far away from home almost to tears,just by the sight of it....you've never lived in Fiji!

I had perhaps one of the most emotional and satisfyingly tasty breakfasts in my life,when my sister brought home a reminder of my great days in Fiji, I enjoyed it with a rush of memories that made me feel that I was actually having a biscuit breakfast :)

I haven't been posting so I lost a subscriber yesterday....I called immigration NZ yesterday and I was told that, I will have a reply by the end of next week...All I can do is wait, and end my unstable relationship with my buddy Alcohol:

Dear Alcohol,
First & foremost, let me tell you that I'm a huge fan of yours.As my friend, you always seem to be there when needed. The perfect post-work cocktail, a beer at the game, and you're even around at the holidays, hidden inside chocolates, as you warm us when we're stuck in the midst of endless family gatherings. However, lately I've been wondering about your intentions. While I want to believe that you have my best interests at heart, I feel that your influence has led to some unwise consequences:

1. Phone calls: While I agree with you that communication is important, I question the suggestion that any conversation of substance or necessity takes place after 2 a.m. Why would you make me call those ex-girlfriends when I know for a fact they do not want to hear from me during the day, let alone all hours of the night?

2. Eating: Now, you know I love a good meal, but why do you suggest that I eat a taco with fire sauce, along with a big Italian meatball and some stale bbq chips (washed down with WINE & topped off with a Kit-Kat after a few cheese curls & chili cheese fries)? I'm an eclectic eater, but I think you went too far this time.

3. Clumsiness: Unless you're subtly trying to tell me that I need to do more yoga to improve my balance, I see NO need to hammer the issue home by causing me to fall down. It's completely unnecessary, and the black & blue marks that appear on my body mysteriously the next day are beyond me. Similarly, it should never take me more than 45 seconds to get the front door key into the lock!

4. Furthermore: The hangovers have GOT to stop. This is getting ridiculous. I know a little penance for our previous evening's debauchery may be in order, but the 3pm hangover immobility is completely unacceptable. My entire day is shot. I ask that, if the proper precautions are taken (water, vitamin B, bread products, aspirin)prior to going to sleep/passing out face down on the kitchen floor with a bag of popcorn, the hangover should be minimal & in no way interfere with my daily activities. Alcohol, I have enjoyed our friendship for some years now & would like to ensure that we remain on good terms.

You've been the invoker of great stories, the provocation for much laughter, and the needed companion when I just don't know what to do with the extra money in my pockets. In order to continue this friendship, I ask that you carefully review my grievances above & address them immediately. I will look for an answer no later than Thursday 3pm (pre-happy hour) on your possible solutions & hopefully, we can continue this fruitful partnership. Thank you, Your biggest fan -unknown source

Cheers.x

"Am I all alone?? is anybody out there hearing my song??"

My Friday was soooo boring, I felt so lonely in my tiny room, I was going mad...so I decided to check up on this girl who gave me her number a week ago.....a decision I definitely don't regret :) She is fun and so is her sister and their friend!! I had a blast! :D We went for a walk in the park...and we raided the kiddies playground..haha we even ran for elections :P 

I really enjoyed the company, I also really needed it, my boredom was killing me.I made some great new friends and I got to have lunch and dinner and I'm looking forward to more food and wonderful company soon :) thats if I haven't already worn out my welcome...lol

I've been online a while now and I've had something unexpectedly weird happening to me....people are people are emailing me :P I've received really great responses to my work and my writing not that many but just enough to keep me writing happily :) I have only 3 more unit standards left until I graduate so...I'm just buzzing with excitement :) I had my first taste of some great "grey goose" as well....ace always told me that was yummy,and it was....it is french vodka....totally delicious :) a very classy drink,wonderful clarity and flavor!! So yeah, I'm so glad I was rescued from my boredom by three wonderful girls....I am leaving tomorrow so I have a big going away party...my sister is coming over with some drinks!! yeeehaaa! :P   I've been having fun at my place...soo much fun you can't imagine the boredom I face when it is all over...lol it's kinda like a relationship (so I heard :P) you have ups and downs....so today is a down thats why I decided to write..it keeps my mind occupied and somewhat distracted, or should I say focussed? well whatever it is...I'm not that bored :)

I haven't had spoken to my spanish friend lately so I don't really know what I will put as my spanish word for today...but I think I'll use one of the lines she told me to use.I am planning to go to California next year...so I'm looking forward to a great year next year :) my friend who lives upstairs married a guy from the US, they're separated and she has one kid, she is really nice and she says I can visit her when she goes back. She tells me all the wonders of the land of the brave and free....so I'm seriously thinking of checking America out...yes,i bet its a great place....but I have to see for myself :)

Spanish word for today: Caliente - muy caliente ;) haha...laters! :D

"writing in brackets can (not) be ignored"

Today I had nothing much to do so I logged into the dreaded facebook. Pretty scary if you are not one of those socialnet freaks. I had a great time chatting to C and I managed to upload some new pics. I started thinking about how we miss the little things in life and sometimes the seemingly insignificant things...and those things that you forgot about ages ago.....or those people :P I had friend requests from a lot of blasts from my past....I don't like having so many friends it makes me look popular, which I totally am not. I'd like to think that I keep a low profile and anyway the friends that do matter are not usually on facebook. I keep my friends really close to me...almost as close as my family....I was also very emotional today.....I don't have any spanish words for today coz I just don't feel like it.

I sooo need a girlfriend :P

okay okay, spanish word for today : novia :)

"Early to bed,early to rise makes you healthy but socially dead!"

Late nights and early days have been my usual last week.I went out on a really cold wet Friday night. It was really cool ( not just literally) my friends and I hit this place called "D bar" in Auckland Central. I went out coz one of my friends came back from Fiji, we went out to welcome him back. He didn't look too excited to be back in New Zealand haha...I wouldn't be...the weather back home is so warm. What is cold there is not nearly as cold as here. I understand now what my friend Silvie always meant. She used to get excited when the temperature was just 19 or 20 degrees celsius...and I never really got how pleasantly warm that was until I experienced my first winter!

This is my first winter...yes my first,EVER! I've never experienced winter before, at least not the real seasonal stuff. I had so much fun...met so many people at the "D bar" and, I didn't get any phone numbers this time...but I met so many cool people :) I also met actual SPANISH people!! yay! This bar was supposedly for South Americans and other non-usual crowds. A fight broke out between the Samoan dudes when we got in but they got kicked out and things were really cool from then on. The DJ was awesome!! I also met the bar owner, bought him a drink and got to talk to this hot bar tender "R" I got her name...she was adorable!

Oh yeah and whatever happened to my date?? It was canceled, too bad, I was really looking forward to it. I don't really mind, there are so many girls out there! Especially in STL ;) I of cos told her that I went out, and she just said, she was glad I had fun. I did,it was also my first night out with my friends from my Institute. I really loved the people in this club! I had a chance to use my spanish...I'm gonna lay low this weekend, spend some time with my sister,take a load off.

I've also been spending alot of time online learning American ;) thanks to fashiongirl* username changed.

I spend too many nights awake and waay too many mornings sleeping! But...It may not be healthy but...it keeps me alive socially. I haven't had much time to think about my assignments but I finished all my programs today and submitted ahead of the deadline which is tomorrow. BIG RELIEF! :)

I'm "cool" as!
My spanish word for today: fresca :)

The sky tower at night.....darn thing wouldn't keep still! :P
MEXICAANS :P lol...the guy on the left everyone keeps calling JT, he does look like Justin :PMy friends and I when things were picking up :) I never realized I was so tall.....

Thats all for now..adios!
