Good morning Tuesday!

I always start my day checking notifications at Facebook, bulk of emails at Gmail and reading tweets at Twitter. While reading short tweets in Twitter, I saw gmanews tweets asking "Sapat bang ipagbawal ang mga computer shop malapit sa paaralan para iwas-bulakbol ang mga estudyante?". I replied, depends :).

I've been working in 2 years now, how I missed being a student.

Computer shops near our school plays important role in my student life, not just because I am a computer student in college but because computer shops was one of our favorite place to hang-out. :) There was a time when I was in highschool that I was so excited after class.. because after class was our time at Zirconia - one of the nearest computer shops at our school that time.

EJ was one of my dearest highschool friend, I asked him if he could help me in searching my assignment in Filipino. Nah! it was hard to searched because what we need were old filipino music lyrics. So I asked him if he could help me out.. I was beside him and I noticed that he was so familiar using the web and typed very fast at keyboard. Wow! I was really amazed that time. We have computer at home but we are not interested using it, kinda bored. No internet.

Then I knew, EJ spent lot of his spare time playing games that makes him very familiar using computer.

That's the beginning of my interest in computer. Gusto ko din ma-master, exploring the world wide web.

So nung nag-college na kame pinayuhan ako ni EJ na kunin ang Bachelor of Science in Computing na course kesa sa Engineering course (Civil Engineer). Wala akong regrets sa course na kinuha ko, ang sabi ko sa sarili ko kinuha ko to tatapusin ko :)

Ganto lang naman ang naging buhay estudyante namin noon.

Eksena 1: "Ang init! Tara, sa computer shop tayo"
Palamigan din namin dati ang mga computer shops :)

Eksena 2: "Asan sila? Nasa computer shop."
Sa malapit na computer shop sa school sila madalas matatagpuan (sila - refers to my classmates)

Eksena 3: "Dito lang ako sa BJ Computer Shop, wait kita dito"
Nagiging antayan din namin ang computer shop, Hehehe. Computering while waiting! Hahah.

Eksena 4: "Dota? Dota!"
Nanonood ako habang nagdodota sila.. Ayoko matuto. Heheh.

Eksena 5: "Wala daw si Sir! . . Sige, computer muna ako."
Haha. Mahal na mahal ko dati ang Friendster, so I always keep in touch. Changing my Friendster layout, adding bit html codes when I'm putting testimonials to my friends.

Eksena 6: "15 pesos x 5 hours = Php 75.00 para sa internet cost"
Ubos ang pera, ang bilis ng oras 5 hours na palang nasa computer shop.

Di ko na maalala ung ibang eksena pero lahat nangyayare sa computer shop. Doon kame natuto. Nagiging tambayan namin. Minsan nga me time na dun na kame nagkikita-kita magkakaklase, kahit di naman nag-usap. Super close kame sa mga computer shops. Nagiging friend din namin ang mga nagbabantay. Sa halos araw-araw ba naman na nakikita nila kame eh namememorize na kame. Pero hindi naman namin pinabayaan ang pag-aaral namin non :)

As college students, self-discipline pa rin talaga. Hindi palaging dis-advantage, me advantages din. Pag wala naman kasing magawa sa school, wala ang prof, talagang ang bagsak namin kung hindi sa mga foodchains sa SM Manila, sa mga computer shops sa may San Marcelino ang bagsak namin. :)
