When Boredom come…

I was checking my emails just now when I thought back of the first time I created my email. I get to know internet when I was in my 1st year of junior high school, which is about 1998. I started with keromail, and then doramail, dawsonmail and eudoramail with a cute and weird nickname. Maybe there are some more, but I just remember these. Now I realize that all the sites and my nicknames are so cute (?) I didn’t even sign up to yahoo or hotmail! -__- Hey, cos at that time, as a 12 years old teen you like those cute names mah(the cuter the better!) and you were exploring which sites have the nicer layout and service.I remember I used to go to cyber cafe with my best friend to online. I saw her received alot of emails and (stupid) I was wondering why mine was empty and when I would get one. Yeah, stupid me was so desperate at that time. Then I realize how was I going to get any email if I didn’t have any contact? Most of my friends didn’t have email at that time. If yes, we always meet at school, so what’s the point of sending email to each other? While she got the emails from her auntie and cousins whom lived at other country. Later on I knew that there was this thing called fwd email. I didn’t check my emails for quite a long time and some of the sites is no more available. Until senior high school time, internet get heat up and I sign up to a more normal sites and apply for internet line at home (finally). Til now I stay to yahoo, hotmail, lycos, and gmail. Recently Lycos just updated itself to 3GB and hotmail 25 MB. Wuhu! No more 4 or 5 MB size. Thanks God!Besides that, I realize that I also have quite a lot of networking accounts. Count them - Friendster, Hi5, Zorpia, Ringo, Multiply, Bebo, Bingbox, WAYN, etc. I can’t recall the names anymore. Friendster is the one that I visit everyday. While others might say that friendster is just a waste, I find it’s quite useful because I can keep in touch with my friends from secondary mates until college mates, keep up to date with their recent news (some write blog) and pictures. Sometimes, I even find my long lost friends from my friends’ list. I’m not the type that add so many people just to make my account full. Sometimes when I bore then only I will check others profile and go to her friends’ list and so on. Hehe.. Multiply is the place where I save my pictures and write journal there, but I haven’t update for quite a long time already. Here’s the address if you have the interest to see my pics or read my past entries.

While others, I just sign up because of invitation from friends. Leave those there, when I have time and I remember, I will visit them. Now, I’m off to take my headache medicine and sleep. Kathie wish all of you have a nice sleep and nice weekend.
