Yang Decides to Shut Down Yahoo 360—Nobody Notices

Here’s Yahoo 360’s official blog about it

Here’s a thought:

What if one day you woke up and found out that the earth opened up isolating your house entirely from the main land, creating a huge rift around your house. And over the night, the entire technology was mysteriously wiped out. Phone networks are down, electricity is not even remotely available and no mechanical vehicle would work. If you’re wondering, it’s not a post-apocalyptic setting. In fact, trees are still green the sky is perfectly blue. I’m just lightening up the first 3 sentences of the paragraph, Heh. Anyway, back to my story, the rift is like 500 meters long. And it is so steep that it would too difficult to climb down. Even if you managed climb down, a strong, violent water with sharp rocks at the bottom will kill you (Point is, you cannot go to the other side just by climbing down and crossing the rift. That’ll make my story so stupid). And from your position, you can see people (I told you it’s not a post-apocalyptic scenario) on the other side. Here’s another weird part, you can hear what they say, barely, because of the wind. Somehow, their voices travel with the wind. It’s a desperate situation and you need to survive.

Yeah, these are the kind of thoughts usually plague my mind. But if you were in the situation, what would you do? Go.

Update:
Emer asked if there’s someone with you. The answer is no. You’re all by yourself.

It sucks that I’ll be doing this here. I was kinda planning to do it on our supposed-to-be-but-now-cancelled get-together party last Saturday. But it’s ok, I know things are pretty rough for everyone lately. There are a lot of changes for everyone. And this blog is for all of those changes. As inspired by the ever awesome-ing “How I Met Your Mother”, on the “The Duel” episode (Season 1 Episode 8.. yeah I know):

Life is full of changes, one day you have an apartment, the next day it’s a house of dumplings, but the important stuff doesn’t change.. to the important stuff!

Cheers!

I would like to make a toast just like Lily did. This (hypothetical) toast is for everyone around me. For every small and big effect that you have in my life and I have in yours. Things are really changing for us. All of us now have different paths in life. Different priorities. Take Kiko for example, one day you’re being accused of breaking almost everything by your friends, the next day you’re in San Francisco taking pictures of the infamous Golden Gate bridge. Or Emer, one day a vegetarian is breathing down on your neck, the next day, well.. you’re kicking her ass, hehe. Or Pumpkin, one day your boss is head-over-heels in love with you, the next day, he’s a psycho, hahaha! And Trixie, one day you’re a top-of-the-class graduating student, the next day you’re pregnant (Seriously, who can beat that?). My Ate, one day she doesn’t have a problem with “pagtaas na paa“, the next day she’s dying to have one (Hahaha!). Tere, one day you’re Subicomm employee, the next day you’re an RC employee. And then the next day, you’re back being a Subicomm employee (Hahaha! Peace.). To Comics, well, no changes from you for quite awhile. But once I get there, there will be a lot! And as for me, one day I’m a hardheaded idealist who resist change, the next day, well I’m embracing change like a lazy 2′oclock afternoon.

But as Lily said, the important stuff doesn’t change. It never will. To the important stuff! Cheers.
