A day in Cyber World

<For my PHILOPE class>

A day in my Cyber World

          It is already a routine that I log onto my computer, access the internet, and travel through the cyber world. My daily travel routine starts with going to Gmail. Before everything else, I make it a point to check my emails regularly to see if I have new mail or updates on stuff I subscribed to. My second destination is Facebook, where I socialize with my friends, update my status, upload new pictures -if there are some, and sometimes view the profile of people I’m intrigued about. I leave the Facebook tab open so that I can still chat with people even when I’m already in my next destination which is Twitter. Before, I kept an alias of bananarama07 in twitter so that people I’m close to won’t see the rants or current updates that I don’t really want them to see but then my friends found out about my alias and so I might as well post my real name. I mostly use twitter to “cyber stalk” my foreign idols and tweet what I’m currently into, where I am, or just virtually shout when I am “fangirl-ing” about a celebrity, drama, movie, etc. In other words, I let out my crazy side on twitter. My next destination is Yesasia.com where I check if the new album or official goods of my favourite artists are already available, if there are and if they are affordable then I purchase them right away. On some days, I side-trip to Multiply.com where I mostly do my online shopping and to Mangafox.com where I read mangas. Next destination is Youtube where I watch the current episodes of my favourite Japanese comedy show –Gaki no Tsukai Ya Arahende, I also watch some music videos and then download them if I find them worthy enough to be re-watched. The last destination I go to on cyber world is Asianfanfics.net where I read a lot of fan made fiction or “fanfics” until I get sleepy and end my cyber journey. My journey’s destinations are mostly social networking sites where I get in touch with friends that I already associated with the whole day before going into the cyber world.
