1996 - present
I didn't own a cellphone at the start and text messaging was not yet existent (at least in the country - now, the Philippines is the texting capital of the world!). Eventually, I found that getting in contact with other guys was too slow on the WWW.
A roomate introduced me to MIRC, a program that allowed access to chatrooms. Eventually I discovered rooms like gaymanila, gaypinoy, and bi-manila on Dalnet and Undernet servers.
The program was single-handedly responsible for setting me up with hookups, friends, acquaintances but curiously none of my relationships.
I admit, the rooms were more of sex channels but I still think It was the most convenient way for me to meet people.

DaybyDay4-2day, I wish he gave me an easier test.
May, I wish I could stay away from same-sex sex... Fortunately, at present, i'm too busy to think about it :) Of course, that wasn't usually the case. I don't mind questions like these. Thanks
