I agree with the others that it�s not correct.

My guess is someone typed in their native tongue and hit the �auto translate � icon, the result being a completely messed up sentence...as others have advised you before, forget about it, it �s not some kind of bloggers speech, it �s just bad English. |

Actually, as a Brazillian Portuguese speaker, I think I understand what the person intended to say, but it �s a total grammar mess, kind of a "direct translation", not even google does that!!!! LOL 
The correct would be:
Isn �t it enough trying to do this the whole day because of you? Now, must I do this on my facebook too? Woooow, you really are my number one! I love you enough to do that - or - I love you so much that I do that!!
If the person wanted to say that s/he loves this other person because s/he does that, it would be: I love you for doing that. But only the person who "tried" to write that in English would know this.
In Brazil, it �s very commom for people to write stuff in English on their FB, blogs, and also orkut (still a hit, down here the tropics) without having a clue of what they �re writing or if that �d make sense to an English speaker. It �s just translation word for word.
see you you around, and hope to have helped a little, Marsala.
hugs!
