lively n me

dunno really what to say for once..or how to begin..
for some who had not had much to do with vr before
the experience of lively was so liberating ...n
the sudden "END'
we were boonswoggled n sidesmacked with a 2 x 4...

still trying to process it.

i had lost my 'heart', but didn't know it.
''oh, growing up, how nice..no more joy/tears/dancing/laughter/up till dawn...what a relief''

then suddenly finding one's 'heart' again, so unexpectedly....
it's not just the joy, but the sorrows as well
the shyness/disappointments/missed opportunities/'if only's''

and, besides all that ...it was a family, of many different ages....i miss them all.

so in going around now in 'rl'...
i see a kid or older person and instead of being impatient...
i think ''oh, that could be my friend one day grown old, or her/his child...''
and what does it cost to be kind anyway?

i can leave when i do...a more fragrant world, for those who come after....
simply because,
i learned to 'love' again
in lively.

Lively memory

~Lively~

I can't begin to thank Google for starting Lively. I know I am not the only one. There is a diehard contingency out there, be it a small one, that will never forget or stop missing the place. They tried so hard to save it when Google tolled the death bell in the beginning of December 2008. It was a sad day indeed. We had become like a real life community, with friendships and romances and everything in between. I, myself, had never really belonged to any type of real world community. Real life communities often judge you on how you look, what kind of job you have, and not on who the person is inside of you. This is what made Lively so unique and special. Sure, you could choose to look a certain way with the cute little avatars, but everyone pretty much looked the same. This gave people the chance to let the inner soul within themselves come through. It came out with words, words, the most powerful and accurate way to really know a person. Ah Lively…..I do miss my little Rose……

Livelyzens Costume Party!

Lively Friends

Lively truly is a wonderful Google Product. Started as another 20% project of Niniane Wang, it truly let us experience a new dimension of the web. The rich 3D Virtual Worlds we traveled in Lively, were filled with friendly avatars from all around the world.
Being from a small island, Sri Lanka, not known to many, I was welcome with open hands of friendship from people from all over the world. I made friends from all over the world incuding, USA, UK, France, Germany, Brazil, Russia, India, Japan, etc.
During my first days in Lively many urged me to creat my first room. When I started on it, many visited, just to check I was doing alright. I still remember setting up the first Jumbotron, where a friend came over to walk me through the steps hurriedly while she was getting late for her classes. I made some true friends who's friendship I will treasure even if Lively is no more.
A friendly chat with these friends in Lively is a part of my life, a treasured moment at the end of a busy day at work.
Ohh Google, please let Lively live...

I became Lively

Ever since I started using Google Search, I became an early adopter to every thing Google had to offer. Google's Blogger , Gmail, Orkut, Google Reader, Google Page Creator, Google Sites, Google Docs, etc., etc.

When Lively was launched I had to hold back for a while, due to OS incompatibilities. So when I finally got the chance, the first thing I did was to download & install Lively. A new life, a Lively life begun...
I looked through the 'Active Rooms' list. 'Lively: Google Room', ahh that's the place I got to go, and that's where I went.
It took a while to load as I have heard it else where. When it loaded completely, I was mesmerized by the environment I saw. It was lively with people chatting everywhere. I started walking around & many started to say 'hi!'. I told them that I was new to Lively & many offered to help to find my way. Many asked me to set up a new room & instructed me how to. I had never being surrounded by so many welcoming people.
It was an awesome experience. I would never forget my first day at Lively. The friends that I made that day, are stillmy true friends to date.It's pity that the days till it ends are numbered though...
