Lifelines

You know the show "Who wants to be a Millionaire?" and it's got lifelines for contestants, my life is kind of like that right now. I have lifelines that helps me with my sanity and boredom.

Aside from my family, my other lifelines are my laptop, the internet, emails, phones, chatrooms, to name a few. These guys keeps me sane. For without them I'd go berserk!

I am forever thankful for the people who invented the internet!!! So cool and everything right at your fingertips - shopping, free online games, research, social networking sites like Facebook, people.com, etcetera. Pretty much anything and everything you want to get your hands on.

Going hand in hand with the internet are emails and chatrooms. It's my connection to the outside world, family and friends from here, there and all over the world. I still get in touch with my closests friends from school from the Philippines, former friends I've reconnected again thanks to Facebook, long lost relatives, etcetera.

When I'm feeling down, it's just a click away, I can chat with my best friends from anywhere in the world (when they're online of course) and they certainly know how to cheer me up. Forget about the thousands of miles we're apart, to me it feels we're a few inches away from me. I love reminiscing the good ol' days we've had when we were together. Priceless and treasured moments that are near and dear to my heart. Same goes with emails, if I feel down, I tell them my thoughts and away they go cheering me up the best way they know how to. :) I love them.

I know that we lived our lives before without the internet but man I just can't imagine my life without it right now. Lifelines I can't live without right now. :)
