Chat Room Life
Well, whats life nowadays?

For 6 months now, can't believe it, I survived the life in a chat room. Don't have to mention what site is that as few won't believe that crazy things happen in such place. Its another place where one learn to navigate the waters in order to enjoy the journey and stay afloat. To chatters' delight or frustration, they cant see and hear the players and only read what they have to say. But if one is lucky he gets to establish relationships that may color his life be it plain friendship or more intimate. Some attest to that anyway. So far, I bonded with some ladies and gentlemen and our communication progressed from chat room to YM. And soon, I will be meeting two of them in person. This coming June am off to the southern part of the country and would grab the chance to see them. One who works in a non-government organization is happy to assist me find a place to stay while there.

Chat room is a small universe complete with characters. Wholesome,funny, refreshing,spiritual, friendly, blunt, sarcastic, desperate, swindlers, perverts, vultures, wolves etc etc interacting constantly.

So does one easily differentiate the reel from real ones in chat room. Well, if you come across with those who are out and out, boisterous ones, you wont be needing much time to know the person. Who is dangerous is the one pretending to be nice, funny, craving for friendship, acting saintly than a real saint, lol. He makes you laugh, boast your ego, make you feel special until you get close to him and trust is bestowed. Gradually, the dark side of him unfolds and you will feel used, betrayed, ridiculed. Ah, time and again, women with their trusting nature, fall prey for this type. There are exceptions though, some men i came to know remain as nice and gentle as ever. Hmmm, deliciously sweet ha ha ha . . .

Fortunately or unfortunately, its a virtual world. But I guess,the feeling is the same. You hate yourself for not handling your affairs carefully, for being gullible to opportunists characters, for ignoring the red light, for acquiring "this wont happen to me" mindset.

Perhaps, my journey in a chat room is complete. I can even make a story out of it lol. Learned some chat language, met cute guys and wonderful women with stories of courage. Is it time for me to bid adieu? Well, as of now, the only reason for me to stop visiting the site is to have that overwhelming love of someone or for something, enough to make me forget about it, lol.
