Tomorrow marks 2 years since I started working in the Social Media field which I enjoy and feel that it fits me perfectly… being a person that rarely shuts up, I need a space to say whatever I want, whenever I want and not afraid to be judged… or actually, don’t care to be judged!

Of course, working in social media is different from what people think; I mean, I do spend all day on Facebook and Twitter, I read blog posts and articles, I look for interesting and funny topics to talk about… okay, I guess it is what people think it is J

So because I spend around 9 hours minimum per day on social networks, I am obliged to see some interesting things about different kinds of people, so I list some of the conclusions I reached about people and social networks in the past 2 years.

  • Being your friend on Facebook doesn't mean I’m your best friend in real life… I don’t need to comment on each and every thing you post… I do have a life too!
  • If I don’t like or comment on your post, it doesn't mean that I don’t like you… sometimes it means that what you posted is not interesting to me or I have nothing to comment or I simply didn't see it.
  • If you post something on your girlfriend/boyfriend’s wall, and I like or comment on it, it doesn't mean that I want to you to break up … it only means that I like what you post!
  • If no one likes your posts, please don’t send me a private message asking me to comment on it!!! That’s just lame and shows how desperate are you to attract attention.
  • If you comment on everything I post, I will consider you as a stalker and I will put you on limited profile in case you were close enough not to delete you.
  •  What I post on my wall doesn't necessarily indicate my mood… sometimes I just like the song/picture/quote … and sometimes I am in a bad mood, so it’s none of your business!!!
  • Sometimes I have nothing to work on, so I spend all day on Facebook stalking people… if you don’t like that, remove me!
  • If we don’t have any common friends or we have never met, don’t add me and please do not poke me! That is just rude!
  • If we have never met and you are following me on twitter and I don’t even know you exist, don’t add me on foursquare… that last thing I want is someone to stalk me wherever I go!
  • If you don’t like my tweets, you can easily un-follow me… it’s not the end of the world and there is no need to be rude and tell me you don’t like what I tweet!



Obviously, these are just the top of the iceberg; I can go on and on for days about people and social networks… bottom line, don’t take anything personal!



Inspired by the best seller book “why men love bitches”, I couldn’t help but wonder why women fall in love with the wrong kind of men all the time. Being in a few relationships myself, and observing my friends and their relationships as well, I decided to dive in this issue and share my view as the clueless critic that I am.

Maybe the first thing that pops to my mind is the girls’ low self-esteem.  A girl with a low self-esteem will be attracted to a guy that will make her feel special and give her the attention she doesn’t think she deserves. So she will probably give the guy everything she has, her love, her time, her money, and her dog if he asks for it. She will throw herself, head over heels and thinks that that is the best thing that ever happened to her.

She will put up with the bad treatment coz she will think that there is no one else out there to love her for what she is, and that if he left her, she will have nothing in her life and will die alone. That reason alone will make her feel the need to cling more to him and suffer in silence.

There are also the drama queens that thrive for attention and drama, and cannot have one single day without something to tell her girls and make big fuzz about. I believe there is a drama queen in each and every girl; but the level of drama is what varies. Being one myself, gives me perspective and insight on how a relation with an asshole is. I’ve had my share of assholes and I never knew when to stop chasing them until I was emotionally and physically exhausted.

Assholes sometimes play hard to get, and this forces the girl to chase him and grab his attention… which represent a “challenge” to the ladies and they are then moved by the will to change the man, and assholes are no exception.

I remember having a discussion almost a year ago with a guy about women and their “need” to change a man and my answer was “coz men are wild creatures” … I believe I was right! :)
