Weekly Dose of FB

I DISCOVER that when I really committed (as in really really committed) to something, I am able to achieve it. This is about my weekly dose of FB usage. It felt like that it had become my master rather than me mastering it. I became a stalker of some sort when my former days were always about nosing around about my friends' businesses. There were nights I stay up late just to make sure I don't miss any posts. Then I make that New Year's resolution. I want to commit myself to it. Down to the last line.

Just one day in a week. I allowed myself to open my account. It's not easy at first. But I want this. Now, I'm immune to the power of it. Even if wifi is on all the time at our house. Even if Ipad is lying around the house. I am not tempted to "peek". Now there's no urgency or the slightest hinge to be the slave that I was. No need to know EVERYTHING and be up to date. I know more by knowing less. And by sharing less it makes me value what I have more. It's crazy but that's just me. That's how I want to operate my life from now on.

Hi! My name is Joyce. I WAS an FB addict. Thank you. But now I am healed! :D

Read Before Watch

And now that I finished reading the Hunger Games book, I'm ready to watch the movie! I know I'm a year late but hey, its better late than never, right?

For some reason, I prefer books more than movie in terms of story. Coz ya know movies can't show everything that's written in the book. They cannot show what the characters are thinking exactly. They cannot depict the page by page representation of the book, really. So I make it a point to read it first before I watch the movie adaption of it.



I've been reading this past weeks. (yey!) Just finished the Fifty Shades trilogy, and currently reading the second book of Hunger Games which is Catching Fire. I love my Ipad so much! I can read my ebooks easily here. (plus i can blog here too) Ebooks are my addiction right now. Its convenient and practical for me. True that nothing beats the joy of reading a real book, keeping and collecting it. But compare to prices, ebooks are much more cheaper and sometimes I can download it free. Ah well, when I have a budget, I promise to buy at least one book quarterly. But for now, ebook it is.

If I don't get too lazy, I'll try to write if the Hunger Games movie lives out to how wonderful and beautifully writen the book is. Until then, booklover joycie is signing off. :)
