Friends on Facebook

After posting some pics on Facebook, I then proceeded to set the privacy settings of the new album. (yes you can do that :) ) Siempre, I just wanted to choose from my 200+ friends who could view the pictures. I didn't want all FB-dom to see them and then comment on them, right? Specially not on those pictures I took in Times St. and Cory's wake in Greenhills.

And so while doing this, I had then to go back to my Friends Lists and then re-edit who should be on this list or that list, giving me this time to reflect why I put that friend in this list when she should have been in my BFF list, or why I should include my ex on this list, etc. After maybe 30 minutes of this, all that was left on my BFF list were 3 people - a female friend, a gay friend and a male friend. I laughed out loud when i realized this. Balanse? Hahaha. (Actually, if another friend is on FB, I would have 2 male friends on my BFF list).

Pero after that I realized that nothing is permanent. The one you thought will stay a good friend forever is not on your BFF list. And when i racked my innermost self for tender feelings for this friend, I can't. Though I still consider her a friend, I didn't feel that I can share with her so much of me through my pictures and what-nots. Nagbabago ang tao talaga. Pati feelings.

But I sure hope what will never change is the spirit of joy, camaraderie, respect and awe in OUR sharing a part of our lives thru Facebook.
