internet cafe as new nanny..

Years back, when the internet still was unknown, busy parents would just turn on the television set and leave their children to watch shows all day long while they do their chores. Today however, with the emergence of internet cafes in our country, parents find it more convenient to just put their kids who are old enough to use the computer, in safe internet cafes where they can play their favorite computer games while they do their shopping and other tasks minus the hassle of bringing along the kids. All they have to do is to inform the net cafe attendant that the kids will be picked up at a certain time. Times have changed.

What is it to "party?"

Great. I was at this party and all I did there was sit and eat. The food was good, the venue was a delight, and the people were fascinating but at the end of the evening, I felt like I hadn't exactly partied. Why? I didn't get to dance because the people who I know there weren't up to dancing while my feet were itching to hit the dance floor and exercise myself to death to the beat of the latest songs being played. Sigh. What's to party, anyway? It is to enjoy and have fun and one doesn't get that sitting down nor is eating my idea of fun. What a bore. The people who I asked to dance were way younger than me in years but they seem to be suffering from a case of early old age.

I have observed several times in many parties that when the time comes for everybody to dance, people would start going home, leaving only a handful who want to keep the party alive but are unable to do so since everybody has already deserted the affair.

Do we only attend parties in order to sit and eat? Come on....
