Friendster. It was the time when overlay layouts in Friendster was a thing. I was in high school that time and I want to impress my friends. I researched about overlay layouts and found a site where you can download and modify them. I wanted more, I want an overlay layout for myself. Not just anything that was downloaded in the internet. I learned that HTML is the way to do it. I studied HTML through PageTutor (http://www.pagetutor.com/html_tutor/index.html). It was the best tutorial I found.

After successfully created my overlay layout, I decided to create a website for our group of friends. I then uploaded it in Freewebs (now http://www.webs.com/). My teacher saw that site and ask me to join a competition. I won awards and made it up to 6th place in the national competition.

That was my realization. I realize that I can do and I want something like this. I decided to take up Computer Science in college. Learned how to code and that was it.

Thank you Friendster.
