FRIENEMIES!(Blocked, Blocked and Away!)

I have realized that Facebook is indeed for friendship.  It is to establish friendship and to stabilize existing ones.  To others, Facebook has become also a platform to gain "frienemies"(friends turning to enemies). That is, making friends expressed their rant against each other through their shout outs until their friendship totally ruined. Parinigan kung parinig.  I am learning to avoid using my Facebook account other than to build friendship.

I am not choosy with whom to accept friend's request on Facebook.  Who knows? I might get a genuine friend from it.  And I did.  I am planning to post about that topic next time.  

Going back to shout out, my wife told me that somebody posted a shout out implying his disappointment to my reappointment in the church.  I missed the said "shout out" that my wife was talking about.  To verify what my wife was saying, I looked at the account of this person and viola, there,were his two shout out implying about my reappointment sa church.  Obviously, he was not happy with the news.  

Well, I respect his opinion.  I cannot please everybody especially him and the other who share with his sentiments.  I am sorry that my best was not good enough for him and for them. But as far as the "official recommendation" of the church, it is for my retention.  But there are people who could not accept that there are people who love me for who I am so they cannot do anything about it, except, POSTING A SHOUT OUT in Facebook.

His first shout out says that magtitiis na naman daw sila.  That means, while I am staying in the church, they are to endure.

The next shout out is, mabuti pa raw sa Facebook visible.  He is implying that I am not visible in the church.

Upon seeing these shout outs, the fighter in me would like to post a counter shout out.  And had I let my feelings prevail, I will post these:

"NAGTITIIS KA PALA, E BAKIT HINDI KA UMALIS? BAKA NGA MAS MARAMI ANG MATUWA KAPAG UMALIS KA DAHIL AKO MAN AY NAGTITIIS DIN SA YO!"  

Oo, alam ko, ALL CAPS AND BOLD letters ang ginamit ko.  Hahahahahahaha!  

Sa second shout out niya naman, this is what I can say.  Siya ang madalas wala sa mga activities ng church.  And I am happy for his absence kasi binabastos niya naman ako nang hindi pagpansin sa akin.  Tapos nagrereklamo siya kapag hindi niya ako nakikita.  Hahahahahahaha! Siguro dahil wala siyang nababastos.

Pero mabuti na lang ay napigilan ko ang sarili ko.  Pero ang asawa ko ay hindi.  Nagparinig din pala siya sa Facebook in my defense.  Thank you and i love you Mahal!

Mabuti na lang nagtimpi ako kahit nga nasasaktan din ako.  Do people really think that they have the right to say whatever they think and feel even if it will hurt somebody? And do church members think that they can criticize their pastor and ignore the value of their position.  Man, you are barking at somebody whom you call "your" pastor.  That is, if you really know the meaning of the word, pastor.  Yes, pastors as people are not perfect but pastor as an office deserves a great degree of respect!

When our former bishop was allegedly involved in wrongdoing, I kept my mouth shut.  I did not join the trend of making him the center of gossip, malicious jokes and condemnation.  While other churches are divided on the issue, my church was clueless to what is happening.  I made it a non-issue not because I am tolerant of our bishop but because I do not know who is really telling the truth.  And most of all, I respect the office of the bishop.

Going back to the shout out issue, naisip ko  na I cannot stoop down to his level.  Ayaw kong maging NEGASTAR Sharon Cuneta na pumapatol sa mga taong hindi naman kapatul-patol.  Hahahahahahaha!

Hindi ako sumagot sa first shout out niya.  Ganon din sa pangalawa.  Pero may ginawa naman ako para hindi na ako masaktan at ma-tempt pa na sagutin siya.  Nope, hindi ko siya in-unfriend.  I BLOCKED HIM!  Hahahahahaha!  That means, neither I nor him can see each other on Facebook.  I also delete him to my Yahoo Messenger.  Why?  Again, I don't want to make "patol".  Kung siya, hindi niya naiisip ang mga implications ng mga shout outs niya, he can shout his lungs out!  Pero ako, BLOCKED, BLOCKED AND AWAY ang peg! Hahahahahaha!

Ngayon, pati sa Facebook hindi niya na talaga ako makikita.  Ika nga ng GMA, think before you click para hindi tayo ma-BLOCKED, BLOCKED AND AWAY.  Hahahahahahaha!
