Strangers

Facebook is one of the many popular networking sites that encourages new alliances, new connections and new friendships.

Depending how interested others are, you'll get numerous friend requests and if you accept- ta-dah! You earned yourself a new friend who you most probably will never talk, meet, or poke. But wait, you guys are still friends. Like totally. It's a mutual understanding.

However, I hardly get any requests because many get repelled after seeing this:



Beauty is never skin-deep ):

So receiving a random friend request is something that really excites me. It's like a surprise party where I'm the one getting all the attention.

Just recently I received a request. And like many others, I screened that fellow's profile like a private investigator. What are his interests? What kind of groups does he join? Bonus if he makes his wall public, and extra extra bonus if I can get access to his photos to have a clear face to match with this suspicious-looking bio.

As I guided my mouse followed by a series of loud clicking, my younger bro stood beside and participated in my 'interrogation'. Yes, both of us were very intrigued.

"Clicked" went my mouse, and I was at his photo albums.

Shit, I thought to myself. Only 6 tag photos.

"Go see his profile pictures album, people usually upload their best photos there," my bro suggested like an experienced pro.

I dragged the white arrow head in an east-south direction of my laptop screen, and hit the "Profile Pictures" album. I clicked on the first thumbnail to enlarge the photo while my bro and I waited with anticipation as the screen loaded at a glacier's speed.

The minutes were like hours but after a few, a face stared back at both of us from the glaring screen of my laptop.






The room fell silent. It lingered for a few more seconds before my bro finally broke the silence.








"EEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! HIS COM SUCKS!!!!!!"
