Last Wednesday, I went back to Dagupan City (just after two weeks!) to accompany my grandfather and I originally planned to go to Binalonan (my mother’s hometown) and go with my blogger friends to Bolinao for the weekend, but neither of them happened.

Usong-uso ngayon sa social networking site na Twitter ang larong #NoonNgayon. Sa pamamagitan nito, nagpapalitan ng mga kuro-kuro ang ilan sa mga kababayan natin na inihahambing ang pagkakaiba ng ilan sa mga bagay na ating ginagamit o pamamaraan ng paggawa ng mga bagay-bagay noon sa ngayon. S’yempre, malaki ang kontribusyon  ng teknolohiya rito. Obvious naman, ‘di ba? 😀

Bilang isang batang lumaking adik sa pag-iinternet, naglista na rin ako ng ilan sa mga bagay na na-obserbahan kong nagkaroon ng malaking pagbabago sa nakalipas na taon:
