FRIENDSTER
For the past few days, I have devoted much of my blog entries to the Pacquiao-Morales battle royale. I believe I have said my piece about that matter and to further discuss it here will only add nothing of value. So, this will be the last time I am going to mention the said boxing fight in my blogspot. Enough is enough, I guess!
I am quite amazed at how present internet technology really bridges the world. If centuries ago, people embarked on dangerous sea-faring voyages that would last several months just to visit other places. Now, one need not leave the comfort of his home in order to keep in touch with other people. With the help of internet, one can already contact kins, relatives and friends even beyond the shores.
This is what I have discovered with the use of Friendster. I am certain that most, if not all of us are well aware of this internet program. I do not exactly know how it works technically but, in layman's terms, it allows people to interconnect with others via the internet. You just register and then you start searching for people you know, whom you then add as friends.
I registered with Friendster way back in 2004. However, after opening my account, I did not anymore access it. I thought that prolonged non-use of it would deactivate the account very much like an e-mail account, which you have to keep and maintain regularly active, otherwise it would be closed. Out of curiosity, I tried recently to access my Friendster account after more than two years of being dormant. Much to my surprise, it was and still is open and active. And thanks to it, I am able to re-establish contact with long-lost friends.
Through the Friendster technology, I have come to know of the whereabouts of old barkadas, whom I have not seen in a very long time. I am especially happy to rekindle old ties with elementary and high school buddies like Oscar, Nong, Don, Novo, Sherman, Jun, Veronica, Rina and Hazel. On the other hand, I am also looking forward to communicating with old chums from college. I do hope that I could contact them through Friendster.
