10. My Very Valuable Lesson

21 May 2011

Now I think there are many people with internet addiction and i am one of them. I was very dependence on the internet and my laptop. And recently i got a very valuable lesson that relates to the internet and laptop. Now i want to share my story and i hope it also could be a lesson to others.

A few months ago, my modem pulse was out, then i had to buy my pulse again. Usually every purchase of pulse Rp 50.000, i get a bonus of unlimited internet for 2 weeks. But that time, the provider no longer provide a bonus. There is a bonus but limited to only 500 MB. As i said, i have dependence to the internet, so when i am browsing, i can not think of anything more, including bonuses modem. Because the bonus is usually provided up to 2 weeks, so i was quiet to browsing the internet. But i do not know why, when i was in college, i thought of my bonuses pulse. And i spoke in my hearts that later i would check the rest of my bonuses pulse when i am at home. And when i already have got home, my friend asked me to call the service operator provider. But actually my pulse was not enough to make a call. Then i thought, to call the service i only need Rp 100 while my pulse now is still Rp 80.000 but why i can not call the operator? After i checked actually my pulse that had been Rp 80.000 now only remaining Rp 1. I was very shocked to know that. I even had time to cry because i have to economize on spending my money only to buy the pulse, but now the pulse was gone just like that. Although i was very shocked when knowing about it but i get a valuable lesson. Now when i get a bonuses pulse, i will not wear a bonuses because i did not want such a thing happen again this time.

A few weeks later, i have an appoinment to meet with my old friend. Like me, she is also very fond of korean music. So when we met, we exchanged korean video and songs. We excanged a video using my friend’s flash disk. But at that time anti-virus in my laptop was not update. After i got home as usual i immediately opened my laptop. But i was very surprised because all of the applications on my laptop can not be used suddenly. Actually my laptop has been exposed to the virus so that all aplications on my laptop can not be used. I was very shocked at that time because that week i had a kot of course work. And as i said i was very dependent on my laptop so when my laptop was broken i was very bored because i could not do anything. But after that i got a lesson that we should not carelessly insert the flash disk into the lapyop because we do not know what is in the flash disk.
