For those of you who have photographic memory, you'll recall on some posts two years back I wrote about things regarding the annoyances in life as well as the bull crap the Hollywood industry pulls (and I think I mentioned my list of pet peeves*...). You'll also recall on a post I wrote about a month or two back this year, I might have mentioned something about the pressure to marry and some other things... And that's just the tip of the iceberg (terrible analogy!). And this also has something to do with some of the things I've seen on Facebook as well. But rather than bring your eyes to bordom (and to make things easier for the readers**), I'm just gonna list off some of the things that caught my attention and honestly, annoyed me.
1.) Boyfriend/Girlfriend relationship statuses.
Go figure you can know all about this on Facebook. Hey, I found out that one of my cousins proposed to his girlfriend via Facebook and they're engaged; good for them! But seriously, people often use Facebook to over-broadcast those annoying status updates about their own upcoming wedding or they just never shut up about their "significant other"... And the other thing that's annoying are these Facebook wedding group/events pages. The way Facebook operates these days, the admin of these groups puts his/her friends into the group(s) and these inserted friends are automatically admitted to the group membership; people admitted into the group later has to go through approval of the group admin(s). And until you reconfigure the settings on your own profile, you'll keep getting those annoying status updates you frankly don't care about. And another thing about this group is some couples ask you to post your mailing address so they can send you invitations/announcements. Am I gonna put my address on the part where everyone writes? Absolutely not! The way cyber crimes are committed these days, it's a potential way for cyber stalkers to become one step closer to doing who-knows-what they wanna do! And on the other hand, the last thing I (or my family) needs right now is MORE junk mail. No thanks!
2.) The whole turning 21 thing...
Just to throw this one out there, the legal age for tobacco and alcohol products in Japan is at 20 years old just sayin'... While it may vary depending on the individual states, the United States legal ages are generally 18 for the tobacco products and 21 for the alcoholic beverages. And quite a few people I knew from high school has recently turned 21. You getting the picture I'm trying to paint here??? And you guessed it, a few friends of mine started taking a few sips the day they turned 21; some even bragged about it on Facebook. All I'm gonna say about is that everyone is free to choose on this one; we all have that God-given ability to choose that product. Many choose not to which is totally respectable and some do and if that's considered a "rite of passage" for you, go right ahead and have the time of your life. But with all honesty, this blogger believes there are better ways to celebrate a 21st birthday than go out to a local bar/pub (if you're British!) and get sloppy drunk. And this blogger can't stand the smell of tobacco or alcohol!
3.) Justin Beiber
All I can say about that is BLECH! By far one of the most disturbing things I've seen on television recently was Katy Perry touching Justin Beiber's butt. That image has been badly burned into my mind and it will forever send shivers down my spine! But I'm over it. This was on a television documentary including footages of crazy fan girls going nuts to Beibers songs and going so far as following him on boats and anything that floats while he was travelling on his private yacht. Yuck... Back in the day, people had to have legit skills and talents in order to make into the Hollywood business. Now it's just sleaze, sex and controversial drama and scandals that makes up the Hollywood business.
So there you have it, my top three life annoyance of the year!
*Just so you know, I'm no longer in possesion of a pet peeves list; I burned it on a camp fire as I figured nobody gives a crap about what annoys me.
**Readers?! My so-called friends don't even... you know what, forget I said anything about that.

I like your blog posts haha. And I agree with all of these annoyances. Facebook in general is super annoying. For example: when people write things like- "It's hard to see the one you love with somebody else :(" or my personal favorite "Is there anything going on tonight? I'm bored :/ lolz".
If you want to hang with friends, call them. If there WAS something going on tonight nobody is going to be on facebook to read your crying. Seriously, if you want pity and stuff go to your mom. And if you hate seeing people on facebook, block them or take their updates off of your news feed. That is all.
