I want to play Ran Online because it enables me to communicate with other people all over the Philippines and the world. I am not anymore confined to my house and kill my social life. Thanks to the internet I can now have my social life at the same time enjoy the comforts of my home.

My passion for computer has now evolved into the next level. Before, my life is so dull because of my sort of addiction towards computer gaming. I usually tend to stay at home and play computer all day long. But now, even though I play computer games at the Internet cafe it enables me to communicate with others to share opinions and thoughts and it really became a part of my lifestyle. But now, my top priority is to finish my studies and earn a Ph.d degree someday.

My interest in formulating tactics and plan was highly influenced by this game. It enables me to think fast and to make decisions more efficiently and accurate. In this game it is about survival, you should have the ability to think critically and fast. Wrong move and decisions will lead to your demise. The strong will live and the weak will die. The concept of the game is to stand strong and cross your way to the dangerous path that might lead to your dreams or to your worst nightmares.

This game really caught my attention because it is different among other games. There's excitement and thrill every time I log into this game. It is really amazing because it is a way to escape reality. The new dimension to which I can express my self is truly amazing. Fun is a short word to describe how I feel during playing the game. It also allows me to interact to other people all over the world with just a click of a button. Isn't it amazing!

It is my own way of entertaining thyself to avoid other temptations that might lead to my own destruction. With the present time that we have, it is really difficult to stay as pure as you can be. With all the distractions and evil things that humanity faces, it is difficult to dodge them all. Example, many of the teenagers which are in their secondary education already engaged themselves with smoking, alcohol intake, and many other forms of addictive things that will lead to destruction. Life is a crucial thing that needs to be nurtured and taken cared of. Computer is my passion. I want to be a software engineer or an information technologist. Computer gaming is such a wonderful thing that allows me to do everything that I want in that virtual reality and still have a wonderful life to live.

Computer gaming has become a big part of my youth. It is a good way of developing my skills in managing and good decision making. In fact, through my constant gaming, without my knowledge I have developed managing skills. I bet that without your skills in managing, your character will not last a day in that cruel world of Ran. The great influence of modern technology towards my life is big because it allows me to open my mind to the world around the corner. It is not always that you will live a simple life. Life is very complex that needs to be mastered, unlike computer gaming that you have another life. In reality you should be cautious because you only have one life. Computer gaming is somewhat just a practice arena which readies you. Although there are many factors that mold your personality, but still the most influential of them all is environment. Our environment is covered with technology that is why this has become a factor.

Game: Ran Online
My friends influenced me to engage in computer gaming. Nevertheless, I have no regrets that I have become a bit addicted to this. This is considered cool at present due to the evolution of technology. Teenagers are easily persuaded to engage in this because the constant evolution of technology in our society is having a great impact in our lives. Maybe in the future, we will be dependent on modern technology. Anyway, for now, computer gaming has shifted to the next level where we can already have an easy access through the Internet.
