wow, it's been a long time. how do i begin, where do i start. perhaps we need only stroke the surface of my happenings for now and dig deeper in a separate post. Got my net today (finally). Not to seem over dramatic but i Do wonder how i managed to survive the past couple of weeks (or months) without the world wide web. Not so much as a glance of a Google page or a gossip from Facebook. Oh how i missed stalking people (we all do it, admitting it is the first step).
I sit here trying to recall the very last time i had connection on my laptop. I was preparing for a party when all of a sudden i was signed out from everything. Thinking that it wasn't going to last long, i shrugged it off. Only to find out later that the rector of our uni had cut off the wires of the internet company due to some breech of contract. Would have been nice if they would at least give us a little heads up. For us students here, it was like Armageddon. Chaos filled the hostel, especially during the first week. Most of the people i knew (not the sane ones) went door to door getting to know one another (what better time to do so, right).
Some, refusing to embrace the opportunity to mingle, went out the very next day to buy a personal wireless modem, making it a trend in the hostel (despite the fact that it's monthly payment was indeed costly). I for one, held myself back, awaiting a better offer. Then came this new company. Hired by the rector himself only because it belonged to a relative (hey, what are families for, right). We were all very excited. I was ecstatic, only to be disappointed when i found out this new company was so small they couldn't provide enough servers for everyone. So again i held back, and waited for a better offer.
Now a friend came to me and asked, "Do you think people are actually adapting to the fact that there's no net, or are they all just slowly dying". I can't speak for them i said, but i'm adapting to it. I find ways to keep myself busy. And there i was in the midst of singing my lines of "I will survive" that i realised, i was in denial.
Oh, Nooo... hahaha. So i went right out and registered the very next day.
So here i am. Overjoyed at the fact that i finally am back to civilization, updating on Everything. Though the connection does suck like hell, after starving for much too long, i'm devouring every last drop. No sleep tonight for mua. No siree.
