Personal Space

I stumble upon an article line, which is kinda true for many (me included :D )

Personal space is the region surrounding a person which they regard as psychologically theirs. Most people value their personal space and feel discomfort, anger, or anxiety when their personal space is encroached.[1] Permitting a person to enter personal space and entering somebody else’s personal space are indicators of perception of the relationship between the people. There is an intimate zone reserved for lovers, children and close family members. Source; Wiki

But this time, I am going to elaborate more on “personal space online”, I mean most of our interactions in this time and age are online or in the web. So the technicalities of these topic is somehow broad but very familiar in some way or another. Having a personal space online is really different from the actual or the physical space which is already categorize in the above image.

The interesting fact (based on the image) is that Social space is just outside the personal space which is kinda far for some especially when we relate it to personal online space. Physically, the distance is similar to intimate for personal space even others publicly can access a closer zone. So social media has really affect the way we see people or how we interact with them. For example, We have the tendency to be intimate with online friends even though you just met or even strangers.

In the personal space, you can relate it first as social space, but it the social media network, the space is closer than you think (psychologically). That is why many are getting intimate online even they barely know the person, in terms on how they treated everyone online especially with their Facebook friends

Each of our Facebook friends can also be divided according to how close or what relationship they have with others. I bet many group them into one space category which is really common for all but some really have a way to group them to avoid unwanted viewers (or worst stalkers). The advantage is that we can keep track of people especially our close families and friends but what about those who we just met or just hang outwhich we have given them access to our personal space online (except when you set privacy controls in your social networking settings).

This is also why I sometimes (really sometimes) get irritated when some suddenly enters and intrude my personal space for that manner, though each of us have a different personal space range, maybe some has a very wide social space (especially online) and also has its own rules when it comes to personal space and privacy. Knowing a person is very important on how you can measure or test how we see our own personal space both physically , psychologically and online space. Just remember the limits. cheers :)

Seems I have been on a hiatus (again) but in terms of interacting to fellow bloggers both online and offline , I haven’t blog hopped that much for the past week because of the Sinulog Festival and other stuff XD. Also returned few comments and as a result , well, haven’t interacted with other bloggers that much. Though most of my post are well.. events which is becoming a niche of this blog (yes, this is kinda an event blog but a little bit on the personal side meaning I attended the event itself and make a post about it or a sponsored event by invites from different company in promotion of their products and services (a return of all my blogging XD ).

It is getting to be an event blog or something which is kinda obvious, thought I tried to post events (particularly) all of the time, if ever I was in that event, I always tried my best to interact with my readers (if I have any, lol) and also to fellow bloggers especially those who commented even if it is for the sake of increasing backlinks, traffic, bloghopping or even critics, haha.. Nevertheless, it is still a good way to interact other bloggers.

Just wondering how is your blogging life so far?, seems this is one of my random and useless ramblings but who am I to judge my own blogpost ,haha.. Maybe I can get back on track starting this week or maybe getting a bit of momentum of bloghopping, updating blogpost and post interesting and helpful topics (easier said than done). Cheers!

Supposedly the event will be royalty but I rather go in a formal attire rather than dress up or something like that, I know there are a lot of my colleagues are thinking the same thing. But since this is my first royalty event, I choose to wear a bit formal (like a casual royalty prince sort of thing lol..haha ).

The event started of course with intermission numbers , dance/song numbers (those familiar stuff you see in most events , nothing new really :D ). It is also nice to see some hidden talents you never expected to see coming from unexpected people. There is also the “Star of the Night” contest wherein the person with the most eye catching royalty costume will be chosen as the winner. The winner of that is the one with the ragnarok soldier like type with matching lights :D which really is deserving with all the setup and props and stuff :D . But the one who got the most attention was the “Arabian loyalty” guy with 2 bodyguards (also employees) roam around the stage and people just screaming for fun for the simple but unique idea, too bad he didn’t won XD.

The highlight primarily of the event is the Group presentation contest wherein different departments presented their royalty themed presentations which they have to battle it out in front of the crowd with their stage presence, entertainment abilities :) and with audience impact participation. It was an entertaining show with all the gags and laughs and again, too bad, our department didn’t won:/

And after that is of course the food, though I didn’t want to include food reviews here but I just can’t let this passed by, for a big hotel here in Cebu, I expected their food to be somewhat tasty, but to my disappointment, it was not at tasty at all (maybe a little to harsh) but that is the point. I mean it was a buffet dinner and there were lots of choices but most of them didn’t taste that great (tasteless, iced tea was like a medicine), in fact one of my colleagues said that the food was like in a hospital (kinda tasteless). I was also assuming that their chef is a foreigner so that’s why the food is not what we used to taste (lame reason really).

Anyways, another reason why I went to the event is because of the raffle draws (who wouldn’t want to win eh), but it seems my luck in raffle draws has run out and then again, I didn’t win anything.. :/

Overall it was a great event, I don’t know if we will have this again next year. It also a very good way to end the year with all the work done throughout the calendar :D
