			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just glanced at the wall clock and did a double take on my laptop&#8217;s time &#8211; I can&#8217;t believe it&#8217;s past 11PM already and I&#8217;m still online! I don&#8217;t know why, but it alarms me when I feel like I&#8217;m getting too addicted with anything.<span id="more-385"></span></p>
<p>Back when Friendster was new and in its hay days, I found myself spending too much time checking contacts&#8217; profile. So what did I do? I quitted cold turkey and deleted my account. I know, I know. That was kind of OA but anyway&#8230; Same thing with RO and The Sims, I stopped playing them suddenly even on the height of my addiction. I amuse myself that I could be capable of that; I mean, letting go so suddenly, not even gradually, but suddenly, even if I&#8217;m still too dependent on them. Yes, of course, I was so tempted to get a taste of it again but I resist. Hindi na kasi healthy.</p>
<p>So I&#8217;ve decided, for the following week, I&#8217;m going to purge myself from my daily online addiction. Hey, weekdays lang, ha? Monday to Friday lang. Gradually this time. Maybe next time, I can go on including my weekends.</p>
<p>So, lets see:</p>
<ol>
<li>No more twittering.</li>
<li>No facebook visits. Yes, even RC. (Oh I shudder to think how many more contacts&#8217;ll overtake my rank!)</li>
<li>No more checking of my personal blog stuff.</li>
<li>No checking out of multiply inbox updates. I&#8217;ll only be logging in straight to my multiply page to add my pic per day pictures.</li>
<li>No yahoo mail checking. Yep, yahoo mail lang but I&#8217;ll be checking my gmail once per day.</li>
<li>No sigining in to my personal ym; Only my dedicated office ym account.</li>
<li>And I&#8217;ll turn of my mobile phone as soon as I step in the office turning it on only an hour during lunch and again an hour before I leave work and onwards.</li>
</ol>
<p> <img src='http://www.pink-sandbox.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I&#8217;m going on an online hiatus! Well, somewhat on a hiatus, I can&#8217;t totally because I need to be online due to work related research.</p>
<p>Say you guys will miss me. Coz I&#8217;m sure I will. Be back next weekend!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am feeling so competitive against my contacts on Facebook playing Restaurant City that I leave it open on a tab the whole time I&#8217;m here at the office, working. Good thing they&#8217;re *kinda* tolerant of non-work related surfing here. I think. Haha I&#8217;ll know the truth come evaluation day.</p>
<div id="attachment_299" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.pink-sandbox.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/rc.jpg" rel="lightbox"><img class="size-medium wp-image-299" title="My Restaurant on Restaurant City" src="http://www.pink-sandbox.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/rc-300x233.jpg" alt="Newly renovated" width="300" height="233" /><br />
</a><p class="wp-caption-text">Newly renovated</p></div>
<p>I renovated my restau because I&#8217;m sick of the white-pink, all cutesy colored that I designed it with. After fixing it up though, I checked out a few other restaurants on my street and found myself envious of the effort they&#8217;ve put through in designing their place. Aw. I think I&#8217;ll have to redo my design again. What say you?</p>
<p>Grr&#8230; gotta read up on how to rack up my points on RC now. What do my contacts do? Leave the game on the whole day? Booo!</p>
