Hello World!

I am never the friendly type of person who smiles at everyone who I come across with, not even with acquaintances I had the chance to talk with once or twice. I don't even send much friend requests in Facebook (though I accept requests of anyone who adds me as a friend.) I've been to chatrooms, but I usually leave before the first minute, either because I used to get bored or I don't like what was happening in there (or what they were talking about).

This time, I tried staying a little longer. Well, for no reason at all!

I was trying to choose rooms which I think I could get good conversations from.

First stop. Career Improvement. Around 10 in the room. There were around 10 people. 2 having their own conversations. About 3 are doing their "inappropriate things" which others ignore. And the rest are lurkers, including me. Their conversation started from the job titles -- the one being a Marketing Expert and the other questioning his "expertise". Then it became a topic about Pakistan and Bin Laden... and so on... Then I got bored.

Second stop. The OFW (Overseas Filipino Workers) Community. My heart is close to OFWs. Part of wherever I am right now is a product of my father's persistence and hardwork in Middle East for more than a decade. I do not like to mention that my ex-boyfriend, who happens to be the first and last (so far) was an OFW. (Ours is another story, which I prefer not to tell). I know the feeling where every moment with your loved ones is something you owe from the latest technology available.

This is their virtual hangout. And I am a dumb witness in this corner of the world.
