my other favorite social medium

i have recently re-discovered twitter. when i say, re-discovered. i mean REDISCOVERED. i signed up years ago, forgot my password. i even forgot that i had signed up.

i came across a momblog and liked it so much that i wanted to follow her on twitter. i clicked on the button and was asked for a username and password. gah. good thing, a friend reminded me that i was on twitter. sure, i had to create a new password and a had a tacky username but hey, I WAS ON TWITTER.

as i explored, a whole new universe (twitterverse!) opened to me. i was able to follow the artistas (celebrities), react to what they're tweeting, comfort them in times of need. i came across other bloggers and groups.  heck, i was even able to find a cousin who is so busy with this medical work (chos!).  yes, i have become a stalker-wannabe. 

i also came across layla, a 2 year old little girl dying of cancer. her parents take time to update their blog and send out tweets. it has become part of their therapy and coping mechanism. for me, it serves as a reminder on how fragile life is, more so if it's a child's. it also reminds me of the things i have to stand up for my child. their story reminds me of faith, of courage, of being a parent.

you can follow me on twitter by clicking the button. how about you? what's your favorite social medium?
