When i was first hooked in Friendster, my goal is to have a three-digit number of friends and possibly a testimonial from each. I accept requests from long lost friends even to perfect strangers. I was among those users who are f**ked when the network clogs and can’t view the pages.

The highest one can have is five hundred-friend list. As a result, any Friendster fanatic would have at least two accounts while appending the first account names with FULL. I never reach that mark of addiction. as of my last login, I am roughly 100 behind it. Successors such as Myspace came. I had an account before I deleted it.

Two semesters of unlearning online community benefited me. I saved an average of 30 bucks a day in internet cafe surfing since I wasn’t a SA yet with www-ready computer. However, I lost communication again with my elementary and high school friends.

Then blog came as another addiction that was introduced by Phillip, a very good friend of mine which happened to be the next best young writer we have now.

Symptoms of this addiction include accounts in traffic generator sites such as BlogExplosion and BlogClicker, frequent board tagging, and regular site counter checkup. instead of fishing testimonials, a blog addict wants more comments. And to satisfy my cravings, I managed two running personal blogs and several group-owned sites.

This time, it is controlled. Otherwise, I would also go for mobile blogging. In Filipino jargon, kahit iyon papatulan ko na!

One benefit that I gained from blogging is learning web design. Yes, I haven’t tried it before. As an obsessive-compulsive slash over-creative species, I am not satisfied with a template. I need personalization. Blogging is my prerequisite in creating my own personal website.

And now I am learning Flash and more Photoshop techniques, it would be cool to be bundled with blender animation. So make your way to my next site.

My fourth installment Back and 4th was two-weeks delayed. I don’t care of statistics anymore. I haven’t detonated BlogExplosion for a long time because the mouse works for the recruiter now – ahhh Dark Throne!
