HAVE FAD?

Facebook. Daw sang san'o lang ako nag sugod sadto Freindter, subong halos tanan puro nalng Facebook and sa ulo. Ini ang pinaka dako na social networking site sa bilog na earth. Everyone seems to be hooked. Halin sa status sharing asta sa ginakalingawan nga mga applications. Okay nga pamatay oras kung wala ka ubrahon, or mag konek ka sa mga friends mo by sharing stuffs.

Pero kada isa sa ka Facebook user maging aware about sa isa ka sakit nga na diskubreyah kag na involve ang pinalangga naton nga Facebook. Isa ka sahi sg psycho-physiological (daw dalum na aw, word palang madalman ka na) disorder nga ga involve sg tolerance, withdrawal symptoms, affective disturbance, kag interruption sg social relationship. Kamo nalng bahal mag intiende sg mga gin panmitlang ko, maski ako ga ligog ulo ko kung anu mga ini. Pero basta mnay psycho nga word amu na ina, lagtok ka na.




Hambal sg isa ka sikat na psychologist nga si Joanna Lipari (sikat pero di ko sya gani kilala) sg University of California in Los Angeles, amu inin ang mga simtomas nga may Facebook Addiction Disorder ikaw, sg pag interbyu sa iya sa CNN (ini ya ang sikat):

1. You lose sleep over Facebook. When using Facebook becomes a compulsion and you spend entire nights logged on to the site, causing you to become tired the next day.

2. You spend more than an hour a day on Facebook. Lipari said it is difficult to define how much is too much when it comes to Facebook usage, but that an average person need only spend half an hour on the site.

3. You become obsessed with old loves or exes you reconnect with on Facebook.

4. You ignore work in favor of Facebook. This means you do not do your job in order to sneak time on Facebook.

5. The thought of getting off Facebook leaves you in cold sweat. If you try going a day without Facebook and it causes you stress and anxiety, this means you need help.

Kung sa pamatyag mo nga you are suffering from this, sabtan mo ang test nga ini:

Your Score:

Results:

After you've answered all the questions, add the numbers you selected for each response to obtain a final score. The higher your score, the greater your level of addiction and the problems your Facebook usage causes. Here's a general scale to help measure your score:

20 - 49 points: You are an average Facebook user. You may surf facebook a bit too long at times, but you have control over your usage.

50 -79 points: You are experiencing occasional or frequent problems because of Facebook. You should consider their full impact on your life.

80 - 100 points: Your Facebook usage is causing significant problems in your life. You should evaluate the impact of Facebook on your life and address the problems directly caused by your Facebook usage.


Teh? Anu score mo? kung pamatyag mo may FAD ka, suggest ko baligya mo computer mo sa akon, ako naga kinahanglan. Ako lang siguro ang blogger nga wala computer nga iya. =)
Anyway, balik ta sa FAD, kung kinanhanglan mo bulig, tawga lng ko, kay duklon ta ka, para ma umpawan ka.

Pero seryoso, kadto ka sa mga counselor.. or ngayo ka advise sa pastor nyo, kung may ara ka, indi gani hatag sa akon computer mo.
