For the past 17 years, I am in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia – the homesickness for my family and friends I left in Philippines are my foes. Added that I cannot exercise and practice all of my human rights here as the same as I am in Philippines. I understand that the world is getting smaller and the people now belong to a global community because of the internet. In Saudi Arabia, the non-Muslims cannot exercise their religion in public and other human rights as the same as they are in their own countries. However, when I found the World Wide Web I had become addicted with it.
I thank also to Donald Davies, Paul Baran and Leonard Kleinrock who worked together creating the Internet and Sir Tim Berners-Lee for inventing the World Wide Web. I considered it as an ultimate bridge connecting people around the world in spite of thousands miles away from one another; a virtual world where to meet virtual people of all types and to make friends with them regardless of their ages, genders, beliefs, traditions and their cultures.
Now I enjoy on exercising my freedom of expression virtually such as posting and sharing my thoughts, opinions, photos, videos and many more with the hundreds and thousands of World Wide Web lovers, too. Much more I enjoy and temporarily relieved from longings for my love ones when I found ExpertsColumn and other publishing sites. The site is another virtual world where I found some of my virtual friends whom I had given my trust virtually. I understand that not everyone here could be my would-be friends though honestly, they are all my friends. They are partly part of me on this site.
It’s my pleasure to tell the world
That I am happy when I’m with you
Hugging you everyday, now I am
Completely thanking you…
From you, my would-be friends are found
To greet hello and to say thank you
Their boundless and beautiful wishes
So thoughtful, making my day complete…
Because of you, I’d recalled my lost pals too
They left me a small photo with their
Sweet smiles, sparkling in their lips
Now the only thing I cheer…
Why should I tell you all about this?
Why should I quickly trust you?
What have you got that others have not?
Because you’re so true “ExpertsColumn-Columnists”
My thoughtful friends when I’m alone!
