It pays to be social

After many years of being member in a social network?  What has it done to you?  Many times it actually did me bad.  Negative that is.  The separation was brought about by the discovery over at Friendster. Well, that's history now.


Lately it has been a lot of meeting both new and old friends from all over the world.  Discoveries that one friend is a friend of another that you have met somewhere else.  You wouldn't realize it until you see the "common friends" list between you.


Today I realized that more than the horrors of meeting people online, the innate goodness surfaces.  I met a fellow blogger Ate Antonette who blogs at Cool Mom Antonette.  I was actually at ease when she began commenting in some of my entries.  She probably is around age with Mama.  Seeing her and her husband here in Dubai is really a welcome change in a what should have been a common Saturday at the flat.  I think I just met a truly good friend in them.


Thanks for the goodies!  Mangoes still waits to be eaten. Can't wait.  And the perfume too. :)
