Pinoy Writers Online

 Im from the Philippines,obviously...im writing for the pinoy writers...and i love it here.Im living in a third world country.My age is 40 plus 1.

I will give rough information about myself so that you will understand this thing that i will be sharing with you.

In my elementary days i have no idea about the computers and the internet...i know the spelling but understanding about it...nothing.Books?I could hardly read books...i lived in a remote area in Mindanao,and our money is for foods not for books.

During my high school days...i studied in a Catholic school,run by priests and nuns...it has a big library.At this point in time i can enjoy scanning pages of books but i do not have the eagerness to read...i only read novels at first ,then i learn to love history books and encyclopedias.Until such time that i develop the passion of reading...i started to collect books not by buying but by scavenging the discarded books from the library.Though i read a lot but i still do not have much idea about the computer,especially the internet.Even in college...still not much.

I got married,have children.

Then its time for my eldest daughter to go to college.She took Information Technology...we have no much idea what it is all about,its just that we like how it sounds and the school is just 30 minutes ride from our house,and  the pressure that she should take a course...thats it.

My daughter loves her course and because we talk too much about it the whole family fell in love with it...in fact my second daughter took a similar course.

My daughters are my biggest influence in internet and computers,i became their student and i learn a lot.I enjoy it and i fell in love with it.I cannot imagine life with out it.

Although i live in a third world country,and i learn about computer and internet at the age of forty...im not yet an expert but im enjoying it, and i can shout to the world...IM NOT LEFT BEHIND...NOT MUCH.

I can explore the world through the screen of our desktop,i was a book scavenger before,now i can read as much as i want by just browsing and clicking...and i can write. 

Thank you computer and internet...YOU CHANGED MY LIFE.
