pAtchEs of frEckLesnOot: of internet and whatnots

after i became one of them, or shall i say, another unemployed nurse, the world has left me nothing to do but sulk in the wonder that is INTERNET!

the internet continues to amaze me. i have been an internet user for over 5-6 years now. Quite a little number, but i can tell that it has just got blew me away!

a couple of months ago, i've started to unravel the world of online shopping via Multiply, a supposed social networking site which for me, is a haven of online goodies! From,tops, dresses, bottoms, to books and accessories to even cupcakes! too bad they can't ship those yummylicious cupcakes to iloilo. I have yet to try them. but recently, i came upon a site where choco crispies in different flavors are sold and they also ship anywhere! thinking of it for christmas gifts.. hehe!if, that leaves me enough money on my Gcash account. haha!

After a couple of months looking around temptation, i decided to open an online shop myself. it is for the purpose of getting extra cash since my allowance was cut off since ages ago, and what was left in my wallet was not very well cooperating. so, i became another one of them, internet sellers! yippee!

online shopping became even more fun by then. having my own gcash account made it even more easier to pay and be paid. no cash on hand, just digits on a globe SIM.

online selling paid me 1420 on the first month. and at the same time, i splurged on 1480 worth of books on ebay, the twilight saga series by stephenie meyer. How's that for bankruptcy!

as for the 60 pesos balance, lucky me a buyer will be cashing in the next day. so what i did was deposit 1000 for the books so that i can assure the seller that the books will be for me, and only me!hehe..and also to assure myself that those books are not going anywhere. so the next day, i closed the payment with an additional 480 pesos. the items were shipped right away and came in the next day even if it's a holiday. after a long day of iv therapy training, those books lit me up as well as my firends' since we will be practicing some demos at my house when i opened the package.

before having the tangible books, i came upon the e-book. i never ever thought that i can read books in the internet knowing my preference of a tangible book with neat covers, no dents, no yellow pages and especially no lines on the books spine! but through twilight, i discovered something new. i came upon the e-book and audio book, although the audio book can definitely put you to slumberland. i read the first 2 books through e-book.

now i can really conclude that you can live with internet alone plus a bathroom and a shelter. the internet can dress you up in any occasion, can feed you and can give you limitless recreation. wow.

another internet splurge is the downloadables! i downloaded many movies and almost every episode of one tree hill and gossip girl. i just stopped now with my series downloads since it's crowding my computer space. i just watch it on you tube or surfthechannel.com every tuesdays. what's fun is that you can download hard to find movies; movies that i grew up to as a child that i cannot see now in any channel and definitely nowhere in video shops.

i may sound off and queer but this is so much fum for me, especially when you've got nothing to do, when all your friends are reviewing for the board exam or some international exams, or taking up another course. the internet makes me sane now. it keeps me company as i decide on what to take on now.

plus, it doesn't hurt when a staff from GMA-7's mel and joey orders from you (it was later cancelled though) to be used for an episode and an inquirer reporter emails you for an interview! (though i got to answer it a week later since i haven't checked the email address of my YM account. grr). oh well, what's a close shot to fame than nothing at all?!
