Addictions.

Addictions. The first thing that comes into my mind is its negative aspect.
Drugs. Alcohol. Crime. And all the negativity you could possibly think of. But of course, there's always an upside to addictions, as do most things. You may ask, 'What am I addicted to?' to which I reply without hesitation 'Books and the Internet'. Seriously? Who could not live without these things? Well, probably a few might not live without the former, but the Internet? Who could not live without it? It's obvious that some people can live without it but now, it's almost a basic necessity in life, just like our cellphones. The cellphone is another addiction common to young people today. It's not only the youth who are addicted to it but also the adults, and basically almost everyone, here in the Philippines at least. How many times have I heard reporters from TV Patrol say that the Philippines is ranked no. 1 for the country that uses cellphone the most? A lot of times, I tell you.
Speaking of the television, it's also in my 'List of Addictions' but sadly, it just ranks 4th. Most people enjoy watching T.V. because their favorite show is on or probably there's a program that is about their other addictions. In short, we can't easily stop ourselves from watching something on T.V. We are too addicted to it, that is until we find the current programs boring.
Most people are not really into it, but I for one am a big fan of books. Sometimes, when you read a really interesting book, you seem to forget reality and feel like you're the character in the book. It lets you in to another world that makes you wish it was your own reality. Okay, enough said about my undying love for books. So anyway, that's probably all I could say about my addictions and why I am addicted to it. Now that I've told you my addictions, what are YOU addicted to? :D
