It was affected by a virus I got while playing Ameba Pico, a virtual life simulation game on Facebook.
Consequently, it also killed my childhood innocence. The laptop’s death came early though, just a year after receiving it. My cousins and I would film ourselves playing a cup stacking game through the built-in webcam and I would take pictures of myself with weird filters to post on Facebook. Even before my age hit double-digits, I was already regularly online. At the time, it had been around three years since I’d last seen my parents, and I knew we were all itching to see each other’s faces again.īesides the digital family reunions, I would make good use of the laptop for other reasons. It took a lot of convincing for them to get me the laptop but I reasoned it would allow me to video chat with them. My parents, who worked away in Canada, bought a small white HP laptop for me for Christmas when we still lived in the Philippines.
A big part of my childhood revolved around the first computer I got when I was nine years old.
