Today Pineapple comments, "Mahilig ka talaga magNet noh?" with a mocking stare, as if trying (and failing miserably) to understand my need to be glued to the PC while simultaneously working my boring desk job.

I hesitate to answer, because for one, I ask myself how do I begin to answer such skepticism from someone who cannot learn Photoshop on her own and may not know the existence (and thus, the value) of Wikipedia, Google or BitTorrent? --,

Maygad. So I just shut up and nod, affirming that, indeed I would spend a considerable amount of my time Googling something random and finding out that Susan Sontag has written a book about the "predatory nature" of photography. For such a long time I thought everyone appreciated this art form and what it contributes to society (of course, more than its aesthetic implications) and not once, did I think of it as anything remotely related to a predatory nature. 

Perhaps Pineapple may not see the need to be connected to the Web every single day because she may not care much about any of those things I deem would delight any self-confessed web addict or anyone who may feel incomplete without logging on to *insert website of choice here*. 

As for me, I have all the reasons to surf. So Pineapple, get away from me.
