Admit it, what are the first 3 things that you do when you wake up in the morning? Let me make a guess -- stretch , reach for your phone/tab and check Facebook . Correct? I'm pretty sure there are more than a hundred of you nodding in agreement right now. Don't be shy... I do that too. Welcome to the social media world . Where every special milestone in your life is being celebrated by hundreds or thousands of people that's connected to you Whatever platform it may be, everyone in your network gets to witness you falling in love, getting into a relationship, being engaged and getting married. Later on, these people will also be the "first" to have a glimpse of your babies too. Social media has proven how it can reconnect lives. I personally was able to touch base with friends whom I haven't spoken to in more than a decade.

I can still remember how tiny my salary was back then that I would still rely on my parents to pay for my basic necessities. Thank God for giving me extremely generous parents. :) With my low salary, I could hardly budget nor save for the rainy days.
