Unfair

I have always tried to ignore or stop thinking of the ‘unfair treatment’ I receive every day. Knowing there are many unfortunate people out there, I thought I can just walk past everything easily. In fact, this is getting serious and kills.

They say I am a fool, letting everyone get over my head. I let others to tease me like I am a saint. I am silly enough to think that if I treat others nice, they would treat me the same too. Silly Joey as always….

I appreciate everyone’s effort without considering their religion or skin colour. I greet people I see every day. I never fail to thank bus driver, cashiers and service person.

I try my best to help every being in my sight. I treat others’ problems as my own’. I have also made a 2012 resolution with ‘Be a good senior’ in it knowing that it is impossible for me to help everyone in the universe.

 Still, my contribution never got replies. Like a moron, yea. I don’t really hope for return but just don’t make my life worse. Please. 

(* sorry for all those 'I' , 'I' , 'I' demanding tone. selfishness overloaded )

Facebook

So I said I want to blog about Facebook , here’s it.    J)

A little bit background about Facebook first. Yes, FACEBOOK is known as social media giant and it is known as the most valuable social networking website for now. (People have faith in investing in this company) If this 8-year-old company indeed valued at $100 billion, the high end of its expected valuation range, Facebook will be worth an astounding 27 times its 2011 revenue of $3.7 billion. Thanks to the CEO Mark Zuckerberg who is currently holding 57% voting control. ‘Think like Zuck’ has also become a famous phrase to motivate the company’s workers and engineers.

 Statistically, Facebook is having 2k employees on campus and 10k expanded campus employee capacity. The campus has 1k square footage of courtyard BBQ shack, 6 electric-vehicle chargers and 14 expectant-mother parking spaces and 47% employees commuting by company bus, shuttle, carpool, or bicycle. Well apparently we can see how Facebook take care of the employees and think in their benefits.

I would like to share some recent news about Facebook campus, something you would not know. Last summer Facebook began moving to a new 1-million-square-foot campus in Menlo Park, Calif., a few miles from its former Palo Alto digs. The facility, which will eventually straddle a major thoroughfare, is designed to feel like a small downtown area. In addition to two large cafeterias there will be little shops for bike repair, frozen yogurt, and other treats. Is not that cool? xD

So, ever wonder how Facebook make tons and tons of cash from us? Four main ways : Advertisements, Facebook gifts, Application performance and Facebook credits. Trust me, even with only advertisements, Facebook is already a damn good gold digger from advertisers. In case you do not know how it works, advertisers first need to bid or offer a very good price to grab a advertise space. They would not reveal the real price but the value is high enough to earn them lots of profit. You would not even believe that there are actually quite a number of people use real money to have unlimited access to games and applications in Facebook. But still, true story, my wealthy friends do that.

Timeline. Newest invention for facebook layout. (Still counted newest I guess?) It tells your stories from the day you are born till the day you die. Easy explanation. Some people like like. Some people hate hate. The worst thing after all is you are not able to change back to original profile after you attempted to use timeline. It did give you 7 days to get used to the new profile before going public anyway. The horrifying news is everyone’s profile will be automatically changed to timeline in April. Hooray? Arghhh…

I am not saying all bad about Facebook. Facebook does benefit me a lot, whether you believe it or not. First of all, people discover their stalking talent through facebooking. Without Facebook, people would not even bother to know what you are doing. ( Well they still do not if you are not famous ) Even you are not famous, you can pretend to be someone else a.k.a. being a faker to grab others’ attention. This is one thing I found the scariest in Facebook.

People are also used to ‘liking’ everything. I admit that I like everything I see in my news feed,no matter interesting or not. I read a psychology article about this but I could not really recall the content. I think basically it was about this ‘liking’ effect is actually good as it made you having positive perception towards things when you have gotten the ‘encouragement’. I figure this is the reason they did not create the ‘dislike’ or ‘hate’ buttons. It will be a true disaster for infamous people.

Not to forget Facebook brings people closer. Although research has shown if you log out from Facebook for about one hour or more and interact with people physically and realistically, your mood will be boosted and depression level will be decreased as well. I do not know how far this is true but I surely know that without Facebook, I cannot get along with people well because I have a serious problem in remembering things especially names. Thanks to this social media giant’s frequent reminder, I was able to develop an intimate relationship with my friends. (Okay I am just exaggerating)

 Last but not least, Facebook is still controlling our lives.

*P.S. Joey life = Sleep + Facebook J

Joey is a name

Can or Can't I do this anymore? This is neither a question nor a statement. Nothing makes sense in this sentence. Nobody would understand, including me. Still, this sentence describes my current life.

I am afraid to take risks and challenges, scared of facing the unknown. Somehow my past experience in my resume says the different thing. My father says that I always like to take different paths from normal people, that is what forever alone people do. I hate to be alone but I do not want to be noticeable. ‘Stay away from spotlight’ is always the aim for my life. Withal, people know me. I also do the best public relation (PR) jobs.  Contradictory? This is just part of my unreasonable life.

2012 is truly a turn for everything. This is the year I actually confess to myself that I have wasted 18 years of life doing nothing, mentally. I do not have a strong religious view which gives me a spirit. I did not have a spirit, a spirit who enables me to have motivation in life. Everyday passed like wind, not even strong ones. Feels like I am having multiple lives, true life and dreamland one.

Death has no warning beforehand. It comes as it likes. Living in regrets? Joey never does. Because Joey never cares about anything. Joey does not chase for things she wants or desires. She just possessed herself saying that she would never qualify or deserve anything. No regrets, no favourites, only styles and whatevers. I never own myself. One day, death will swallow everything in me.

The Bucket List – written wish list for people who treat life seriously. Appreciation of life, not everyone has it. I am writing one. But still do not have much ideas on what to write in the list. I guess ‘Live my life to the fullest’ is a must.  

I never have the nerve to say ‘Who are you to judge me?’ or ‘Don’t mess with me.’ .I let people’s words go through me as they like. Yesterday, this person said he likes my hair. Tomorrow she says she hates my style. Another day, the other fella says he dislikes my eyes. Again and again and again. I never even criticise on theirs before. What are their rights to comment those on me? = Joey has no courage.

Emotionless. Smile and laugh when I’m in a depress mood and vice versa.  

Lately, I often get confused with myself, even my own name and personalities.

Therefore, I asked my friends for their opinions and here are some descriptions of them towards me :

Mysterious, psychotic, super sociable, awesome, incredible, amazing, Adorable, lovely, sleepy, naughty, nice, dramatic, erratic, hypnotic ….

I have no idea how true are those but I think the most common adjectives I got are psychotic, special, funny, weird, friendly and outgoing.

Still, searching for the real Joey….

Lately, I did quite a number of psychological tests to pass my free time LOL. I did find most of them being quite true.

Thoughtful to the extreme, you are often obsessed with perfection and the rules governing your own personal interests. Your world is black and white. You love to work within a logical system, such as language, computer programming, or mathematics. Manipulating a system that can be completely understood is a distinct pleasure to you, because of your confidence in the underlying veracity of your belief system. Because of your appreciation for logic and order, those who speak or think in a sloppy manner are apt to generate more than their share of wrath. Although very amiable, you are not drawn to friendships out of a sense of personal need. You are just as happy by yourself with a good book or puzzle. Because you are so involved with thought, you will on occasion have difficulty dealing with the day-to-day problems of a normal life. Taking out the trash, doing the dishes, these are often left until the last possible moment, if at all.

Thank you for taking the Creativity Test. The results show your brain dominance as being:  Left Brain Right Brain 38% 62% You are more right-brained than left-brained. The right side of your brain controls the left side of your body. In addition to being known as right-brained, you are also known as a creative thinker who uses feeling and intuition to gather information. You retain this information through the use of images and patterns. You are able to visualize the "whole" picture first, and then work backwards to put the pieces together to create the "whole" picture. Your thought process can appear quite illogical and meandering. The problem-solving techniques that you use involve free association, which is often very innovative and creative. The routes taken to arrive at your conclusions are completely opposite to what a left-brained person would be accustomed. You probably find it easy to express yourself using art, dance, or music. Some occupations usually held by a right-brained person are forest ranger, athlete, beautician, actor/actress, craftsman, and artist. Your complete evaluation follows below:
