Connections

eeping in touch with the rest of the world is now easier thanks to Internet and other new forms of communication. The advent of all these technologies at our disposal, made it easier for us to keep in touch with past friends and relations.

I'll cite this event as an example of what I am talking about. I got a few emails coming from friends of long ago, some I thought I would never hear from again. My childhood friend and classmate in St. Paul School Makati sent me a "smile" using Friendster. My colleagues at Bayantel who are still working there also sent me smiles using the same website. There are also other websites that can be used to search for your long lost friends and just about anyone for that matter, who you lost contact and would want to get reconnected with.

Alumni.net is also one of the sites where a search can be done on their databases which holds the names, what school you came from and what batch do you belong. Though you have to be a member of their website to access these databases, what's great about it is its free. All one has got to do is visit their respective websites and from their you can apply for membership, which for most of these site are free.
