I have been very active on Twitter for the last few months. The upped micro-blogging activity was contributed by my situation as a new mom who cannot access normal internet. I have been using my phone to check on news updates and also shouting out my "thought for the fleeting moment."
Lately, though, I have found Twitter to be very toxic. Maybe I am just following the wrong people. For example, I followed Filipino celebrities who found it necessary to broadcast their branded purchases. I am getting tired of those kinds of updates especially since our country is poor. I used to like their updates because I liked tweets about working hard. But slowly, their tweets have degenerated into taming their celebrity circle of friends, useless purchases and complaints about their lives and their really "huge problems" (e.g. I ate too much pasta FML).
So I need a Twitter detox. I think I will log on there less. The news updates, I admit, are useful. But then again, maybe my mind gets too cluttered with too much
So, Twitter was good for a while. Now, I have once again realized that my heart is in blogging and reading blogs. Or at least, looking at pretty pictures on Tumblr is much better than reading Tweets.
Tweet tweet flop.

Maybe you're following the wrong people nga. :'(
Yikes, I feel guilty tuloy for oversharing stuff about myself. Sorry ha.
Micro-blogging sites like Twitter and Plurk, for a while, hindered me from blogging. Buti dumating yung point that I wanted to elaborate my thoughts more and got tired of the 140-characters limit. But, now, I think they still complement each other. Maybe in generating visitors sa blog and, well, the ability to provide instant release.
I'd miss you on Twitter, though.
I think I was following the wrong people nga. I overshare on Plurk as well, hehe. Pero kasi talagang private yun. You don't overshare there!
I will go to Twitter pero detox for a while muna, kapagod eh. :)
