TakingItGlobal is different. People are here to learn and that’s what I love most about TIG. I may not be the user who actively posts on discussion forums but I learn a lot just by reading everyone’s profiles, blogs and just by looking around the site. As what I have written on my profile page, our differences greatly interest me. I’m proud to belong in an online community that is completely not a dating site but for people of all nations to be involved in making this world a safe and enjoying place to live in despite the differences in our languages and beliefs.]]> Fri, 09 Jun 2006 22:50:00 EDT http://sushiSniper.tigblog.org/post/39421 35.0455556 -85.309722235.0455556-85.3097222 http://sushiSniper.tigblog.org/post/39176
Checking the Yahoo! Answers page is the first thing I get myself involved with from the moment I wake up. This has been a routine for a week now, and I became more alert on deciding and foreseeing how my day will be different. As a Yahoo! Answers participant, it’s so natural to encounter dumb questions everyday. This is the main reason why Yahoo! users who are ready to share their knowledge are becoming more patient in searching for questions that really need their attention, although points can still be earned for responding to stupid questions. They will spend minutes or hours on the computer to answer good questions and rate and vote for as many best answers as they can. You will think that this activity is a waste of time only if you are one of the bored who submit questions simply to mess the decent section of Yahoo! . No one will win money in this activity but you will surely learn things that were unimportant to you. I have not known the importance of Trigonometry until someone enumerated all the professions that requires a sharp knowledge in this subject. You can ask anything and even get help for your homework. I asked a few questions and I’m truly satisfied with their answers. Viewing the Yahoo! Answers page in the morning is not different from hollering “Good morning” to family members who are still asleep, but only through Yahoo! Answers will you make your groggy brain instantly work when you spot a very catchy question.

From being a 3d MMORPG and a strategy game fan, my body has requested the joy of playing a 2d game since it doesn’t punish your arms and hands for harshly clicking on the mouse buttons for long hours. The best games cost too much, another reason for me to go back to a kiddy game and be stuck with adolescent aged players. But whatever game I decide to subscribe to or play for free in the future , it’s always a great deal to brag that I’ve played it and have reached a high level before cutting myself from the game. Such games never interfered with my study. Playing long hours on the computer lets my mind travel somewhere I have never imagined could exist or if I am not for the adventure, I’ll be there to spoof on new players. It takes days and more skills to collect whatever your characters need for upgrading. I usually bring these games in my sleep, and life to me became more of an adventure and a will to survive rather than waking up early because the school bus might leave you. The word “level” is always present in any game whether the game you are playing uses the word “rank” instead. You spend time and money to raise your status, isn’t this what we usually do in real life?

I wasn’t confused by the demands of reality being compared to the pleasures of gaming. Leveling up and moving on are almost the same, but raising one’s level in any aspect requires improvement and sometimes change. Submitting a large percentage of your life to raise your price is not a waste of time for in this process you mostly find the value of everything around you. I will continue on answering questions and learning from the resolved questions in Yahoo! Answers. If needed, I will even research for the most informative answer to contribute. What I’m using my time with is just an alternative and more fun way to practice what life has obliged us to do. You will still work in the office and even demand a raise or promotion for your dedication. The best will hunt for the highest paying jobs which their degrees have promised to give. And the young will continue to develop better games to outdone the existing good ones.

Never did I end a game with a failed mission. I have battled in my entire life and have always rested with a smile and I can‘t remember wasting a single tick of the clock. After a lifetime of leveling up, the longest rest should never be feared.]]> Fri, 02 Jun 2006 17:25:00 EDT http://sushiSniper.tigblog.org/post/39176 35.0455556 -85.309722235.0455556-85.3097222 http://sushiSniper.tigblog.org/post/39076
The kid that was so excited in discovering what is beyond the Church teachings is gone. I don’t feel overwhelmed to read and see images that made an impact in building the Church. Not every word and image is reliable so I digested the information like I’ll only be needing it to refresh my mind on what my religion is. I still hold strong to my faith, I believe in God. But I’m no longer a believer of everything miraculous and holy. Intelligence and education has interfered with my beliefs but I feel better in doubting the stories of holy men. To see is to believe, God’s existence is the only thing I will never doubt. The rest still needs to be studied but knowing more won’t convince me.]]> Tue, 30 May 2006 22:00:00 EDT http://sushiSniper.tigblog.org/post/39076 35.0455556 -85.309722235.0455556-85.3097222 http://sushiSniper.tigblog.org/post/38958
It’s been a year since I graduated from High School and it was only after High School graduation that I have realized how fast life can be. Fast to the point that I can find any book with just a few clicks, and quick for I haven’t noticed that it’s been a year since I created a strong bond with my computer. How the computer became my best companion is easy to explain and I will begin my story with my addiction which I failed to control. This isn't an ordinary addiction and it’s harmless if not abused. I call this addiction as blogging.

What I had been blogging traces my frustrations but it didn’t take me so long to realize that sharing my sadness to the world is unhealthy. It’s necessary to release such disturbing thoughts and emotions but I don’t want anyone to be affected by my writings. To shorten my story on my blogging experience, I decided to end it before New Year of 2006. My cyber addiction didn’t end with my decision to close my blog account. I have grown into a lady without experiencing the excitement of online gaming so I endlessly indulged myself into MMORPGs. Like my randomness in liking a book, my MMORPG choices are also unpredictable, but let’s not explore the reasons of my fickleness.

I am obviously still addicted to internet but for a long time of reflecting how the internet has benefited me, I learned to limit the use of it for more important causes like reviewing for future exams and researching for in depth information on a subject which I failed to do back then.

By the way, hello to everyone who have come across this page! This is my first TIG blog entry.]]> Sun, 28 May 2006 00:20:00 EDT http://sushiSniper.tigblog.org/post/38958 35.0455556 -85.309722235.0455556-85.3097222
