In 2008, The Collins English dictionary declared "Facebook" as their new Word of the Year. But it was on February 4, 2004 when Facebook, first named thefacebook, was launched by former Harvard student Mark Zuckerberg, then 20 years old, and made the page exclusively accessible among university students in Boston area. Facebook, literally, a student directory with photos and basic information distributed annually in a school at the start of the academic year, was made public as a virtual page in August 2005.

As meant, Facebooking is the process of browsing others' profiles or updating one's own. And, here I am checking my Facebook. Overdosed, maybe, I check every now and then my page if there is something worth to be read and to comment to.

Now, thinking, this could have been an addiction. A dose of Facebook a day is enough but a dose of it every now and then is different. But I’m trying to sweet-lemon – it’s just maybe a routine for my finger to take a break from the usual computing system loads or it’s just maybe a breather for my eyes to jump into a new environment shyly poking myself to load pictures or videos to look into rather than the usual word items.

Can you trace back when you had your first Facebook triumph? I don’t really have a good remembrance of my Facebook accounts but it’s fair enough just knowing the importance of having an account for you are always in the loop with news from good old friends and folks who are dear to you.

In December 2009, The New Oxford American Dictionary declared the verb "unfriend" to be their word of the year. Unfriending is just one of the many things you can do with Facebook, and there have been so much still to notice in it. Do I need to evince them? Well, have you been counting how many likes you gave to your friends? Have you been poked by somebody just to let you know that he’s around? How many invites have you been accepting and forgetting not the ones you ignored? Have you been tagging people just to let them know you have new uploads? Have you broken your silence because you’ve been announcing to your e-neighborhood of the different real-time statuses you have been placing and changing almost every day?

Honestly, I had my turns of addiction to Facebook, too. I had been cooking all the while in its Café World. Afraid that I might spoil my food and afraid that I might lose profit for some hours, I needed to check my resto every now and then. I had also been feeding my fish and decorating my three aquariums. It’s a penultimate feat that I reached 100,000 in collection for just a day – the first day I got hooked to that FishVille. I had also my share of being a farmer who exhaustedly planted and harvested plants or crops, grew and tended animals, and developed the whole farm area into a fanciful farm land. But all those I gave up because I just lost the interest after the odd hours spending with the stuff which went beyond 12 midnight. With all the third parties, have you remembered who among your friends you throw pillow at or how many Social Interviews were really reflective of your personality? Have you been inspired by your Daily Quotes or were you just pissed off by Angelina’s Payo (advice)?

On my page’s summation, my only video on “The Truth to MJ's Ghostly Appearance @ Larry King Live” which shocked many viewers got the highest and real-time comments of 50. A self picture which got 94 comments with 11 likings got publicized on my page. And, I’m still counting on everyday logging in.

Sometimes now I have been religiously following my Facebook because it’s where everybody meets. It’s my first choice to social networking now because it’s simple and has less visual clutter. It’s just another book that I can read virtually all your stories and mine right on my face.

On this last note, remember to always be cautioned of your private ends while doing a great networking habit.
