Mark Zuckerberg, thanks a bunch

Used to be a time where we all got by without handphones. As shooee, peanut princess and I were out shopping the other day, we were talking about how at that time you just had to be responsible and keep to your promises and agreed meetings. Now you get last minute cancellations through, of all things, sms.

Not that handphones are without their merits of course, I wouldn't walk around without my own today.

But I found out that I'm being left out of VCF meetings because I don't have Facebook. Left completely in the dark about it, even though I have a handphone and three email addresses. And although plenty of friends have Facebook and know, only one of them bothers to update me. Hey, since when did Facebook become compulsory?

So thanks a bunch, Zuckerberg. Not owning a Facebook account started out as an experiment, but somehow I feel even less inclined to get one now. Although I probably will have to, for the sake of keeping up with people (are they really that worth keeping up with?)

But I swear, even if I ever get an account, it will be just to look at other people.
