My Online Friends


November last year, my son CJ bought a computer. I just realize later, it was the best birthday gift for me, as I learned on how to be with the internet and met so many treasured and loved, on line friends. My daughter Cherry Fe invited me to join Yuwie, a social networking, a very nice site for friendly, caring and loving people. Yuwie pays for number of pageviews, profile views thru blogs, pictures, videos and every content worth viewing in your page. Views of your downlines, referrals up to 10th level are all credited to you. Friends left and right are adding you and of course you do the same. Everybody is kind, everybody is loving and friendly. You meet professionals, artists, writers, celebreties and entertainers. Housewives, students and office employees. Others you thought jobless but retirees with internet business. No dull moments with your online friends, sharing smiles, laughter and success. Sympathizing with each other when one is down with problems on health or failures in dreams or worsed, the shedding of tears when friendships come to an end. Others are earning good but mostly give importance to the friends they met. True to myself, I hardly earned at Yuwie as am poor in active referrals, but I don't mind, gaining wonderful friends is such a treasure and more than big earnings.

Online friends are part of my everyday life, I have close to 600 friends from differrent countries. Others don't believe people at the internet, as they said mostly are disguising, so far I found my friends to be true and real. They brighten up my day with their beautiful, loving comments. Their blogs educate and inspire me, their music, pictures and videos entertain and their wonderful pages, as a whole bring me so much joy. There are friends that are so religious that lead me to the right path, friends that would lift me up and move me closer to God. There are friends who made me cry when inevitably they have to leave the site.


Leonard, a singer composer, a musician, an entertainer a very good writer too, comes from Ohio, U.S. is my very first on line friend. He used to send emails to friends of his age, (close to 50 yrs and above) knowing how they live or how life's treating them. He used to read blogs and when found the writer to be down or hopeless, he'll be in rescue for his kind words of encouragement, sharing his life' experiences and lift oneself up thru his inspiring opinions and suggestion. He had recorded wonderful songs that would entertain his friends and his audience. Among my favorites are: One Dream, Our Love, Me Myself and and I and Believe in Yourself. He has a home based recording studio and recently open a new site where you can purchase his albums, CDs and musical instruments. I was so deeply honored that I am a member of his Eteam and designated to head the site's Forum Section. More insights of him at leobowers.com.



Evan Paul, a musician an entertainer too from Torronto canada, likewise a very good on line, dear friend. Despite of his hectic schedule, He finds time returning comments to his friends. He would listen to your sighs and would let you feel He's just like you an ordinary friend that's so easy to get along with. No dull moments for Evan. He just compose and record songs and share it first to friends for comments before releasing his CDs to market. He's so closed to his friends, that misses him much every weekend as He's offline to do some work on his cottage. It's a great honor to be one of his friends.

Chuck, an architect from California, a very dear friend too. Chuck is like a brother to me, He calls me Sis. He's always ready to listen to a friend. He shares his comments and advises. He treated your friends as his friends too. When you're down, He's there to comfort you with his inspiring words. He's so true and real. I won't forget his desire to send me a keyboard of the pc, when one time I mentioned its deffective that sometimes words I sent are garbled. I discouraged him as the shipping cost was so high, still he insisted, he only listened to me when he found out that shipping cost is 35 dollars while I can buy it here for only 5 dollars. Sweet and caring, thats my friend Chuck and I do appreciate him so much.

Will Southern Dude, a hospice from Tenessee. the friend I much cared for and even cried for when He left Yuwie. He's truly a wonderful friend, exchanging comments with me and well wishes for good times and good days. Enjoying much getting along with his friends, when one day, he lost his only daughter to a car accident. He deleted his account due to much grief in losing his only child. We his friends felt so much devastated as well, in losing him at Yuwie. God is good that He bring him back to us, after our loud cries and praying hard. He appreciated his frriends much in welcoming him back with open arms and stated in his blog that his sadness was turn into joys. A month after however, He undergo a bypass, where everyone was so worried of him. Prayers had been said, novenas and masses were offerred. God is good, All the time...After a week, he's back to us once more. Back to the daily routine of sending regards and concern. comments, advises and care. To my surprise, one day, he sent me message that his giving up his home (Yuwie) and his Family (Yuwie Friends) as his health turned into worst besides his father also dying at the hospital, his mother also sick. "You're the friend so hard to say goodbye to and I appreciate you so much, I love you as a brother in Christ" those were his last lines for me. Now, he's still in my prayers as he sufferred massive heart attacks, the last time I heard of him , he can no longer talk nor walk. I believe in the power of prayers, someday, however, thru God's goodness, I hope, my dear friend Will, will be at Yuwie for the third time around.

Lastly for now, Mishad another dear friend from Singapore, whom I missed so much as he did'nt go online for couple of weeks, but just continue sending him comments thinking his only taking a vacation or leave. After a month however, a sad news broke among his friends. our friend Mishad, passed. Sighs and tears, praises and flowers flooded his page. Todate his page is open and his friends see to it that its lively and worth visiting . We talk to him and express our feelings thru the comments and messages we sent. Friends go over his page, listen to his music reread his blogs and feel his presence. Am just wondering how many times. Mishad goes on line in heaven.

They were among my closest online friends, I love and treasure and I can proudly say, they're real and true.
