VIRTUAL LIVING


Hello there, how you doing today? I’m Damien, Damienchucks. I’m on Facebook, instagram, whatsapp, palm chat, bbm, and you can follow me on twitter @daymeyan. I know you probably think I’m too much into texting and social media but you won’t believe the ton of good things I get from these social networking. I get to keep in touch with friends at low cost and very conveniently at that, I know every single thing that’s trending right now. I’m up to date about everything. I get news from everywhere while they’re still hot. Don’t need to wait for the evening news to know, cause I have friends everywhere and I also “liked” news pages on Facebook. I’ve also met a lot of people from almost every part of this country, hehe talk about national integration. The wide reach also gives me avenue to put out some of my issues and get a lot of ideas on how to handle it, in fact I want to say God bless mark zuckerberg and all other social media and texting entrepreneurs out there.
Dr Philip, a lecturer in my school goes on about how texting is causing students to lose focus on school work and making us dumber; what does he know? If he only knew how many times I made it to his class because someone texted me about it or the one time the class rep notified us about the change of lecture venue via the class Facebook group. He even wants us to believe it affects our spelling and sentence. Does that man know I’ve been spelling since I was 7yrs old? Although I noticed I spell some words wrongly these days, but common no one is above mistakes, although there was that time I used “2” in place of “to” in a test, another mistake.
 I only have two real friends and even when we meet, we talk for 5mins and text the rest of the time. It’s not because of social Medias; I’m just an introvert that’s all. Mom thinks it’s not healthy, she thinks I’m out of touch with the real world. She doesn’t understand, I’ve met these people one on one on Skype; saw their faces and talked to them and they’re mostly nice people. Although on Facebook I have 750 friends and I have about 400 people following me on twitter right now and that number can go up if you follow me too. Hahaha, so what? I’m an extrovert online and an introvert in reality, ClarkKent was loved for his double personality wasn’t he?
Daniel is my friend and he really likes Kate. I really don’t understand those two though cause their conversation online goes something like; Daniel: hello dear, Kate:hi handsome. And then they go on to chat for at least 2hours. But when they meet in class he’s too shy to let out a “good afternoon” and even when he does say it, the conversation is over even before it starts.
Guess what? I’m also born again now. Gave my life to Christ online when I read a broadcast sent to me by a friend. It was really touching and convincing, felt the touch of God if I should say so myself. The broadcast also made it clear that if I didn’t share the message as well, I’d die by a thunder strike but I will get a good grade this semester if I did. Funny though this semester I failed two courses but hey what do I know? Better to fail a course than to be fried by natural electrocution.
I could keep going but there’s too many people pinging me already, we can continue this conversation though all you need do is just add me up on palm chat and I can retype everything I just did in one sentence…..##big grin##
