I have neglected this makan blog in the last couple of
months and put it in cold storage since I learned how to use the Facebook. I didn’t
know it is so addictive and time consuming to keep up with the continuous
postings by the group members throughout the day. Not only I have stopped writing
this blog all together, the overgrown backyard has not been tidied since I last
saw my banana tree sprouted its first flower. Thanks to my wife constant
reminder about saving the fruiting flower before the winter frost takes its
toll, I have literally taken a leaf from gardening pages of the villagers in
the highlands of Papua New Guinea by wrapping the bunch of forming green banana
with its leaves in order to prevent it from the cold. Maybe I just really should get that addiction out of my
head and then moved on. Should I go cold turkey to get rid of my Facebook
addiction? I can’t say. But another issue has come up in my life that I
feel a need to get out into the electronic world that connects us all.
Well, to be more accurate, in my Facebook friend’s life.
