October 1, 1997

I was shown in TV last night, @ Probe Team. And everyone is asking me what they asked so I'll just place it here. And I also have news on that tomboy thing but that'll be later

I just turned 10 years old when I started out in the net more than a year ago and there were only 12,000 net users all over the Philippines. Now there are 70,000 users. That is still few if you compare 70 million who are on-line around the world. I think Steph Co and I were one of the first 10 year old kids in the net

Anyway, the PROBE reporter, Howie Severano asked moi how I started KCI and the difference between the 'Net and real life. Of course, most of you know how KCI started so I wouldn't go into that one. But you don't know the answer to question #2 so I'll say it. In real life, I'm shy whenever I just get introduced to someone. But in the Net, when I get introduced to someone, I'm in my super yakking power

The TV segment was called "Generation Net" and they interviewed Leo Magno (internet columnist), the Eraserheads (a band), Francis Magalona ( a singer), Ipat Luna (lady environmental lawyer) and me, an 11 year old kid. My part was really short. The funny thing about this report was this: the reporter, Howie Severano asked the lawyer : "I heard you met your husband through e-mail" and asked her if her husband was more appealing in the e-mail than person-to-person contact. And she was laughing and refused to answer. It turned out the reporter was her husband
