I remember that time where it is really hard for me to connect to the Internet, I was using a USB modem back then because not only I do not have the means to have a lined connection for the reason that I could not pay for it and it is not yet available too in my place plus the cost then was prohibitive.
I was also using VPN back then as well and of course the connection was unstable if not really slow because of the weak signal that my USB modem is getting. But that had changed after I had myself got connected just recently to the lined connection of my sister. So now I am just connected to her WiFi and in turn I just share the payment for the monthly bill which is a win-win for the both of us since we both can use our relatively fast Internet connection for our purposes.
My father was given a second-hand smartphone by my niece. Now instead of seeing my father reading his automobile book, or fiddling with his basic phone, or just watching the TV, he now just watches videos in the Internet. Now I do think that my father is not that bored because of the entertainment value that he gets from hos smartphone.
As for myself my Internet connection is very important not only for my entertainment but also for my ability to earn money so that I could sustain my needed and necessary medical needs. Had it not been for my Internet I might not be in the same situation than I am today because it is for sure that I will not have the ability to earn money for that matter.
So I thank God because there is the #steem blockchain that is now my saving grace for all my troubles financially. It is indeed a grace from God that is a blessing for me and my lovedones. Now it also gives me hope in achieving my medical goals if not just sustaining my daily medical needs and that really is something to be thankful for.
I could say that I am very fortunate because not much people like myself can do this blogging work considering that I do post every single day because of my need to earn for my medical necessities. I just bought some vitamin today and it is not possible if I do not have money, money that I earned from steeming.
Anyway it is also fantastic that I am also sourcing my entertainment needs from the Internet. it is because before we just have to go to the rental houses just to rent some DVDs, VHS, or video CDs. But with the advent of the Internet those movie rental businesses just dwindled. Well I do not know if it is bad but what I know now is that at least I can get to watch free movies shared by other people.
It is just funny that nowadays I do not get the excitement in watching movies as the magic was gone already. Maybe because I am just watching alone or it is just I am getting older. And wow am I that old really? It was just like yesterday when I was just 23 years old, the age when I just first started my dialysis but now it is embarrassing to say my age or for my parents to care for me because it is not really their obligation to do so, it is just that they are loving ad selfless parents that is ready to sacrifice their time for me and I really do thank them and appreciate their unwavering love and support. May God bless them both.
