OoOhHH!! Floppy Disk!!

I was still in my first year of high school when i first encountered those thin, colorful, mysterious, square thing they called floppy disk. I was so amazed of how it really works back then. Most of my classmates and friends i know owns one or two of these disk, unfortunately, i don’t own any. So the same day that i learned about it, i eagerly ask my mother to gave me extra allowance to buy even one floppy disk.

I know that she wont give me the money i ask, so the next day i saved up my money allocated for my lunch to buy one disk. After giving 20 pesos to the vendor he asked me what color would i pick, i chose color green, it was my favorite. Happy and contented, i rushed home to tell my brother what i’ve got. But to my dismay, he didn’t even give a reaction i expect, he just gave me a shrug.

Now i have my own floppy disk i can join my classmates when they are chatting about it. One thing I’ve learned from them is that these disk can have viruses. Whoaw!! I didn’t know even non living things can have virus. They showed me that their floppy disk have a casing and a pouch to avoid it from acquiring virus.

I thought of my disk and how a carelessly put it on top of the cabinet, how i carelessly let other people touch, and why didn’t i kept its casing. Maybe it has a virus already. Its worthless now. Its never been used and now i should throw it.

I’m in my third year of college know and when i remember how depressed i have been and how stupid i am back then, i can’t stop myself from laughing. I should have known better. My ignorance and curiosity  before made me realized things i haven’t realized before. there are a lot of things i know i haven’t learned yet and when that time come i know i would also look back and laugh.
