Blah Blah Blogs: #MyInternetStory #PhNet20

For the celebration of the 20th year of Philippine internet, one would wonder and be nostalgic about what was the "first times" involving the use of computers, components and of course the internet itself. Being a 90's kid, the era was the time of the emergence of computers in the Philippines as well as the birth of the IT industry which has eventually branched into many different forms and has been embraced by many Filipinos.

If I would recall, my first experience with computers was way back in my elementary days, particularly in grade one and two which I was with ICPS (now ICCS) in Cubao which had a specific computer room but only grade 4 students would have that privilege to have a computer subject which I think was mainly used for games, like the Family Computer (Nintendo Entertainment System) and nothing else. Computers are required to be in air conditioned room to prevent overheating and dust to form inside them. There was even rumors that it would prevent computers from getting a "virus".

His love story with Maya, played by Jodie Sta. Maria, has become the talk of the town: from their first hug to their first kiss to their eventual marriage.
