Just probably, when you were still in the Philippines, facebook has not yet been that popular or if it was, many were not yet into it. I guess, at that time they were hooked to friendster yet and were having a second thought of switching to facebook that's why only a few connected you in their network. Unlike nowadays, almost everyone is hooked to facebook and friends, acquaintances, and even strangers are trying to connect with just anybody as it is the fads today.

hahaha well, i don't want to think what you're thinking. let's just hope that they are not taking advantage of your status as one of Uncle Sam's heirs (wink). Happy hearts day to everyone!

So that they could brag that they have friends abroad, perhaps? Some people still make a big deal out of it, I mean having friends abroad. That's what I noticed.
