Fact is, you can also have sticky moments online. Imagine being put on the spot on social media, where everyone that matters to you can see what’s going on. How will you stay true to yourself then? Do you need a game plan? Here’s a list of 8 #MagpakatotooKa moments online that can happen to you anytime.
8. Your crush asks you why you’ve suddenly liked his/her old profile pictures.

There are some things you may find funny that others won’t get or even find offensive.But, everyone makes mistakes. Shrug it off and be a little more careful next time.
6. One of your teachers invites you to play online games
Our advice is that if you like the game, then play it. If you don’t, it’s okay to
walk away.

All parents embarrass their kids at some point, but usually by just sharing stories when talking to others. It’s completely different when that story, complete with pictures, is shared to everyone instantly.
Remember, though, that most of us went through an awkward phase, and parents embarrassing their children is a universally accepted form of entertainment.
4. Your tita wants to be your friend/follower

Some aunts have a tendency to ask a couple of really personal questions. And with social media, she may end up asking more… on your timeline… for the world to see.
Show the tita how to use social media. You know that she means well, just that she isn’t tech savvy like you.
3. Someone tags you in a very unflattering photo
You can never control what you look like in pictures unless you’re holding the camera or you’re a supermodel, but you can control which tagged photos appear on your timeline.
2. You send a chat message about your crush to your crush

Don’t you just want to hide under a rock when that “Seen by (your crush)” popped up on your chat message? You can always tell the truth (that you didn’t mean to send it to him/her, and the cross your fingers and hope they like you back.
1. Absentmindedly leave your account logged in, and your friends ‘hack’ you to post the most embarrassing status updates, ever
Via thedailystar.net
Posts like that are usually, “I love you, (secret crush)!”, “I’m too sexy for this shirt.”, or any other ‘confessions’ that will embarrass you to no end, and because your friends really love you. Make it funny! It’s ok. It happens to the best of us. And chances are, your friends know how you’re like.
Some of these may have already happened to you, but they can happen again. But no matter how awkward things can be, what’s important is your attitude. So take it from Sprite, and remember that the best thing to do is to just be real. #MagpakatotooKa!
