This picture may not be that accurate but it think that having the chance to create a character based on your looks and can be exposed to the virtual world is a great idea.

How YouTube "changed" our lives

The internet houses different kinds of websites that cater to different needs; Facebook for social networking, Google for searching, twitter for micro-blogging and of course YouTube for online videos.YouTube is able host videos on almost about anything that can be made into a video and everything that has of value. YouTube has literally "changed" the course of life for most people. One example of this would be the unsigned artists that uses YouTube to showcase their talents to the rest of the world. Being able to show what you can do to the entire world can land you record deals, jobs and even love.

Now, people who have access to the internet are able to use YouTube to learn, to be entertained and to be aware of what is happening around us. With these things that YouTube is able to do, people will now be equipped with information that can help society. But how does YouTube really help us? In what ways? Does it even give us benefits more than disadvantages? I can bluntly say that there aren't that much of disadvantages compared to the benefits YouTube has exemplified through the years. One major advantage is the capability of YouTube to be used in academic institutions and homes for learning. This website is used by students and scholars form all over the world to share and obtain information also as an alternative for books and online material(texts). This ensures that students will be able to grasp the data better compared to reading it over and over again.

Of course, YouTube will go under changes through the years, maybe in the format or method of sharing videos or maybe the interface or how it looks like. In ten years time, i can see that YouTube will not only be a tool used for sharing media(videos) but possibly be the ultimate tool for doing all sorts of things; as a platform for social media(social networking), as a Market place, basically all the essential functions that most websites offer.

how things were

Life for kids is much simpler compared to how we view things now that we're more like adults. Simple things make kids happy like a piece of candy or a new toy. But for adults, having everything they've ever asked for might not even be enough. They simply want more. I miss being a kid because each day that i wake-up  from sleep, i would remember less and less of how things were when we were kids.

There are only a few childhood memories that i can remember, maybe because these specific events in my life made an impact. The most memorable one was when I was five and it was the day my mom brought my baby brother home. I can recall the time where it all happened. I was left at home with our house helpers not knowing that my parents were gone because they had to go to the hospital. I just thought that it was a regular day with my dad at work and my mom taking care of stuff for the house. So i just waited at home, knowing that they'll be back in no time. But I was wrong. They didn't come home as i expected, so i started asking how come my parents aren't still home. No one answered my questions. i was stuck at home not knowing what was going on. the next day came and to my surprise my mom came in with a small baby in here arms. I was screaming out of joy and I was yelling "I have a baby brother!!" over and over again. I then realized that i was gonna be a kuya.

These kinds of memories are the ones that i would remember forever and the ones that really made a difference in my life. My brother and I usually fight almost about everything, but i hope that when he comes across this, he would give me a hug and realize how I love him.
