hey jane mine would be:

1. to declutter my mind, and
2. to get free advices once in a while. this works, beats paying a professional to listen to my whining.
3. i almost forgot, to feel good about myself. sometimes i get so immersed in my problems that i needed to see that i am not alone. i don't mean to say that seeing you problematic makes me feel good, i meant, when people talk about their problems, they tend to help each other out.

Hi Ms. Jane Personally, the reason why i blog because writing has been my passion since high school but it was writing stories and poems. This time it's more on personal reflection and somewhat a set of accomplished journal that i want to express and if i do have a gift in writing, i want to make a use of it of course. But even if i wont be as active as before at posting a blog, i think i will still be reading the blogs of the people here whom i admire just like you. Well recently, aside from the system change of Blogland, i experienced difficulties and inconvenience in posting. The disappearing of the new posts or it takes ages to get viewed in public. More power!

Did you get me into trouble kuya?
What did I do?

Ya I'm not looking to date no more so I won't be posting a lonely and single female ads through my blogs. Hence my blogs are random and not often related to searching for a partner.

Also found a female partner in crime me tinks. hihihihi

How about you?

The reason why I answered you only for now it's because you surprised me.

I write coz I've fun doing it and when I do touch a few strings or two then the more merrier.

I'm not only careless sometimes, but also I've become quite carefree in this space and during my spare times (temporarily) hence I've no real need to get my claws out.

If you think about it, these problems are only minor in the scale of those who have more serious and major problems from a world population exceeding 5 bilion. They are suffering throughout the world as we type each letter.

I'd rather file kitty claws, because not only do I not like claws and big cats that much, but also fear the scratch of kitty claws= consequence(s) of my behaviour .

I reserve claws and loud cat screeching to very exceptional individuals eg. those who can take it and give it back to me with as much uproar or possibly deserves it when they've tested my patience and tolerance to the absolute max for many years.

Even someone like my ex who has tested my tolerance for a few years, didn't get scratched. The most he received was rejection which I think was enough considering it was most likely to dent his big ego. I talked myself out of scratching him with help from my best friend after playing out the revenge scenario in my head and could never hurt an ex in reality. Most importantly I received a huge support from my best friends and including advice and fun chats with online buddies.

I'm hardly rude, but as I've heard lately that if you've always been a good girl or perhaps a boy too ehehe you might get away with anything.

I've been labeled cheeky and sure I am to some.

Does it hurt to be nice yet you know a little n...?

Might explain why a few people who surround me are looking for every holes and mistakes that I make and waiting for me to trip and fall flat in my face. Panggo na nga eh, ano pa ang hinahanap niyo?

Can't remember whether I've ever deleted any kind of comment, good or bad. If I did, it would've to be within a very good reason.

Don't mind me I write sometimes as if I was talking to myself alone in this quiet space without sounding even more looney than I am already.

PR ....hmmm funny you mentioned this kuya because I reckon my boyfriend would make a very good PR more than I ever could. I know what do, but I'd end up most of the time a bumbling buffoon when making a formal presentation in front of a big audience.

At the very least I'd need to have a little chance to prepare, whereas if you asked my boyfriend to make a speech, he comes out with good stuff to say quickly in a matter of a few minutes as if he has rehearsed it somehow in his head quickly. He can always bluff pretty good. He could speak right of the cuff. Whilst I could write better in a few minutes, whilst it takes him longer to think of what to write, but with a higher quality.

Lately I'm noticing how he is growing more ambitious. He wants to set up a production company in the future and work on side projects with me whilst we constantly work on our tiny website with only our friends as members, hoping to find new local writers who'll submit work for free. He often tends to keeps refreshing and updating websites. By the way I've no affiliation whatsoever with this website, in case you get the wrong idea.

The insomniac that he is, he has more spare than I do as he stays awake most of the day and throughout nearly the whole and up to the early morning, so he ends up writing a lot of mad, seemingly far-fetched and competitive ideas. Some day when I move to a good career after doing further research, I would like to commit myself to work hard as a team with him to fulfill both our other dreams related to web-designing, arts and such.

Sorry to burst your bubble but I've to give the no. 1 fan to my hon by default if you don't mind, in case he gets jealous, which I find very cute unlike me because he doesn't react in an aggressive way but more in a grumbling way which is kinda funny. I just know he cares so much and doesn't want to have to share.
No offence.

I'm very grateful for your continuing support from being in the group to making more clear appearances in blogs in general.

It's really quite inconvenient that non-members of this site can't access anymore to read blogs etc offline, therefore I'm not sure how hon will be able to read any of this anymore and I'm considering that I should delete my account if he can't.

Most likely those profiles are turned off. Unlike me, those other members have more sense to not spend as much time on the internet as much, so they're smarter to get on with their real lives and spend more time outside. I also do many things when not on the net yet the internet provides many other services that are quite useful besides a network of friendship such as online banking.

I realize most people get tired and don't want to read very long posts which I very much understand, but I'll keep writing anyway because I need as much practice as I can anywhere before I move to doing it as part of our project.

There are a few people who visit quietly without really making a comment in this blog, but give their appreciation offline and for this I'm very grateful that they show a genuine interest.

Hello folks from kuya Bokz, Jazzy Jeff, ladies Eros, Fog and May.

This is very much the same for me Bokz.

I write to de-clutter as well whilst at the same cluttering as I write when I end up asking more questions and trying to determine if I could find any kind of answer. I always have trivial junk in my mind, that's the problem. This is where I come to unload whatever it is.

Growing up in a dysfunctional family meant that I'd to occupy my mind with other thoughts other than what yuckky things are actually going on in my real life. Writing serves as a distraction as well as helps me clarify issues that bothers me, makes me happy or expressing how I feel about whatever.

I thought perhaps this website is the wrong place to do this. This could be explained by the fact which I'd mentioned quickly before in 2 old deleted blogs that I came to find this place by accident while I was researching my roots and old connections which weirdly led me here. Therefore I didn't really come with the intention to look for romance or a man, but more of a friend. Perhaps I'd the wrong impression of this place before and had very much forgotten the primary purpose of this site which is dating.

Also I'd no idea what blogging was. I've never done it before and no one I knew ever talked about it. I was completely clueless. I started writing out of an experiment to try something new and to share my little corner without really understanding what this word means.

I've come across some free advice here too.
Most of the time, I wasn't even looking for advice, but received them anyway. For this I'm thankful that people try to read even if they don't know the whole story.

When I do look for real advice I've managed to attract certain bloggers that I managed to have kept in touch now for over 2 years which meant that if any if us felt down or something was bothering us, when we had a chance to talk then we'd chat about it to each other and along the way we found a way to give each other as you said free advice.

You can have also professional advice without paying a bomb or for free sometimes such as through trainee counselors and church elders. When I needed somebody to talk to badly before about solving my financial crisis when I was trying to pay off debts, family problems, academic matters and organizations, I'd found a free counselling service in uni.

3. I get what you mean because I've been through it myself when I'd experienced my first early adulthood crisis. Was nearly at my wits end. ...lost. Not being sure about my identity. We don't always really fully comprehend something nor fully prepare for the events that may lie ahead such as turning into an adult until we experience it first hand.

Helping each other out is very positive especially when done with a good intention. Makes one feel good to help and may help ease the burden of someone else's worry.

Simple acts such as talking in whatever medium you choose to do it such as over the phone or in person or perhaps even by writing it in blogs does make some kind of difference even if it doesn't solve your problems directly or right away. If you wish, you may pray too.

Maintain your passion to write stories, poems or whatever you fancy.
A personal reflection.

A way to measure if one has the talent to write.

Room For Improvements As A Mere Suggestion

The constant update changes to this site doesn't work smoothly.

Thus, perhaps Epep may choose a more user friendly blog programme that may quickly update.

Epep may want to consider allowing the use of media files in the future to enhance different sections of the site.

Was wondering why do they delay certain bloggers' comments or posts (who predominantly writes in English like myself)in another language or Filipino dialects such as Tagalog. This happens quite often which is a shame because many Pinoy bloggers sometimes express certain feelings or idea far more eloquently in their own dialect. Afterall this is a site that should be in favour of its Filipino community, why should they limit the use of their national language.

Is the language software in epep so simple?

Yeh me too I find things that not others would necessarily find interesting which means someone else could easily be bored or dismiss the post as nonsense.

I also like jokes especially the ones you share which have a lot of substance as well as quality. Thanks for making us laugh.

Many things could be causing trouble in this site from what I've observed and learnt from others.

Perhaps due to problems with maintenance staff. Who really knows?

*Epep can't upload very large picture files.
*Peculiar about which pictures they allow to post.
*Sometimes it's nearly impossible to post a pic with a blog particularly when they've added new features to this site.
Takes ages or the pic appears to have not uploaded properly.
*Epep has a filter for certain words such as seks, azz and scr*w that they deem to be offensive or risque which means that there is no room for consideration why the word is used and therefore the word is taken out of context.

Which led me to like Jazzy Jeff's idea that robots are presently working.

Boredom strikes. Fair enough.

I don't get bored easily, too many to think about to occupy my head or do. The few times I experience boredom is when stuck in a long queue or when there is no reading material while waiting to be seen during a routine appointment. There is nothing left to do much but stare at the wall or look for someone to chat to briefly.

Doesn't really matter whether you've talent to write or not which I don't either as long as you enjoy whatever you do.

What's the point on continuing to do something anyway that you don't like or enjoy unless it's a chore or you've little choice but to do it?

We can have fun as well as be serious sometimes if we want.

I'm glad you read to widen your mind, to make comments, express your point of view and give your advice.
