           ( Well, you might have to read the link above to get what it means.)

Well, after reading this, it is quite certain that I have Facebook addiction. The first thing I
check on my computer is Facebook. (Check). I often think what to write on my status update.
( I only realize this when I started reducing/deactivate my fb.) And it's bad and some other points.

So I'm in my progress on reducing my Facebook time.I will still be checking out Facebook when
people message me or tagged me or write on my post.

Other than that, I guess I should spend my time elsewhere than reading what others are
thinking on Facebook.
