As I told you one week ago, I deleted my Friendster and Multiply because I haven’t been updating them for a long time. No, it’s not just because of that. It’s because no one among my classmates and friends use them anymore. Everyone has switched to Twitter, Facebook and Tumblr. I cancelled my Multiply first before Friendster.
To tell you the truth, I never enjoyed rainbowdoll (my site) at all. I only had less than a hundred contacts, I wasn’t into adding up schoolmates then, and the only thing I did was to lurk my classmates’ lovely sites. In other words, my relationship with Multi wasn’t as colorful as FS’. Plus, I found Multiply overrated, overhyped and overexposed. It will never get popular in the Philippines (it never really did) if ABS-CBN didn’t own 5% of the company. I hate it when it gets paired up with Facebook because it will never be as popular and enjoyable as the new social networking juggernaut. Multiply tried to overtake Friendster’s popularity but failed; it was Facebook who dethroned Friendster as the #1 website in the Philippines in 2009.
Speaking of Friendster, I was once addicted to it. In fact, it was my mom who introduced the site to me. Back in 2006, I wouldn’t turn off the computer without changing the look of my FS profile. It was also where I first learned how to add online friends and schoolmates. However, I only added up a few friends there and wasn’t really active. I reached 100 friends in 2008 when FS was losing steam.
When I moved to Facebook and Twitter while enjoying Tumblr, I abandoned my FS and Multi. And on May 25, I made the painful decision to cancel both accounts. I felt a sense of regret at first because I didn’t get to save all the pictures I uploaded before. But I realized there will be always more memories to be captured on camera in the near future.
On the other hand, this is my first entry for the second half of 2010. In eight days I’ll be a senior.
June 9, 2010 will be the final first day as a Theresian. One day I’ll never forget.
