I have decided to block facebook and youtube from my life because I've spent too much time in those two cyber worlds that I feel they are in control now. Not too extreme though because I'm just using a google chrome extension called "blockit" which I think is developed by an Indonesian, judging from his name. Hmmm interesting... In the case of an "emergency" I'd be able to unblock it easily, but I hope it helps me stay off of it.
Maybe this way I could be more productive, like doing more of my research and getting focused on it, or reading other interesting sites, or reading more news instead of looking at pictures of people I barely knew. I know that self control would have done that, but truth be told, my self control is very low now. Tsk tsk.. shame on me... Of course I'm not denying that facebook keeps you in touch especially with old friends and keeps you updated with recent news (like who's getting together with whom and who's breaking up ;)...Oh, such real life drama) and then there's the message function for mail threads that are less formal that I sometimes use with the VJ girls. But at this point, I really feel that I'm wasting countless hours that I'd like to give this a go. Hopefully I'll get better in contacting friends directly thru phone and personal emails... that would be really nice.
OK, so day 1, here we go! Wish me luck!
