When I was not yet an owner of an internet cafe (actually, it is a collaboration with my bf), I was not interested in Facebook. I was only visiting Friendster. When I heard about Facebook, I told my friends that I would not get hooked with it. Then, the time finally came that friends and acquaintances started to tell stories about their encounters with Facebook.I tried to sign up then I updated it religiously with pictures then all my friends and families in abroad especially Canada are popping up in the site. Facebook automatically suggests friends you know or related to where you work or hometown or friends of your friends.
One of the features in Facebook that I mostly like is the Farmville application. I am fond of it because in real life, we have a farm, an orchard, a fishpond, a poultry and an animal farm and I was born in the countryside where trees and animals are abundant. It is an easy game and I am so addicted with it. It is one of the reason why I got late at work. I even don't eat and sleep because of it. It maybe had a negative impact on me, it also gives positive outcome in my life. It teaches Entrepreneurship and teaches how to be industrious.
I also like Cafe World, Fishville and Yoville. I also like Rollercoaster but it takes long to open.

Me too. I can understand your fascination for Facebook. These games are all just so2x awesome, and the only thing is to find time to play them only. Apart from that, most are just games that we can play while working or while taking a break.

Hi! I agree. The games are awesome. They are stress-reliever. I even forget other online tasks whenever I open Facebook and play Farmville. I am more motivated if I see that my farm becomes larger and my coins and XP increase. To level up is a an accomplishment and if those things we do and see in the games are real, maybe we will be more hardworking to reach our goal.

I love restaurant city on facebook. I play it all the time as well. I am not on there for any other reason. I hit to the games and get off the site.
