238: Don't FB me, email me...

So this is where it ends. My online social networking days are over and Aemes World blog is over. Like many before it, things has to come to an end. It was a good run. More than a year of laughter, fun and not so fun stuffs.

Today Aemes World will join the likes of Netscape, DOS, AOL (is it still alive?), Seinfeld, Monk, Gilmore Girls. All part of history. This page will of course still be online as long as facebook and blogger.com will remain online.

So don't FB me. Instead email me. You still know how to send email don't you?

237: Unplugged

There was a frantic call from my family back home today as I was about to leave for the office. They saw my posting on Facebook that I will be arriving over the weekend. As I was talking to my brother, I can hear chatters and music in the background. Sounds like everybody's having fun, I told my brother. "Well everyone is going crazy! Are you really coming home?", he asked. I laugh and told him no but don't tell anyone. Of course they know that it was all a joke. But it was a good laugh.

My brother then passed the phone to my mom. She sounds very happy but obviously didn't hide a little sadness due to the fact that she expected me to be there. I told her I was quite disappointed myself but my long awaited trip back home will have to wait. We finally bade our goodbyes as I can hear in the background my brother shouting about phone bills.

It was a great way to start the day. I drove by the California freeway as the morning rush was waning. I turned on the radio and caught Dan Henley (Hotel California Unplugged Live) saying "...and I was thinking to myself this could be heaven or this could be hell....you can check out anytime you like but you can never leave!" Really?
