If I'm going to be stuck on an island for weeks, maybe months, and if I only had to bring one thing, I'd go for a laptop with an internet connection. That way, I could still connect to people through Facebook and Friendster, and, I could blog about my island adventure here. However, if I could connect to people, then, I wouldn't be so marooned after all. And, if there's WiFi signal on an isolated island, wow, that would be a miracle!
Ok. The island thought was just an excuse, because ever since the internet connection can be brought up to my bedroom, I have been glued to my laptop. I always catch myself turning it on and promising myself I would only spend 15 minutes, just to check on my Facebook, or, just to post a Tweet or three. Then, I would wind up sitting on my bed for hours on end, just surfing and surfing the web, reading blogs, playing games, downloading stuffs, and whatnots. Unless I'm outside or if my sister's using it, or if I'm sleeping, this laptop can sure take it's glorious rest off my hands. Otherwise, it's just here, sitting in front of me, staring at my face, and I treating it as my best buddy. It's really unhealthy in more ways than I could think of. I'm not really at my worst - yet. So unless there will be an "Anonymous Webaholics" or something to that effect, the only way for me to cure this addiction is to hide this laptop somewhere highly unaccessible, or have it broken, which are options I just can't allow to happen.
Ok. Once I posted this, I will just check my Facebook one last time, then, I'll go offline. I promise.
