Invites

December 31, 2005: Angela invited me to write a book review for Pinoy Book Reviews. I promised her that I would, but because of my chaotic life, I never got around to doing it.

February 3, 2006: Rachel and her classmates, wanted me to meet them, to help on their graduation thesis. The thesis tackles Prostitution. I declined because I am not an expert on the issue. She then asked to use my posts as a reference instead. I agreed.

March 26, 2006: Janette invited me to be a speaker for iBlog2: The 2nd Philippine Blogging Summit. I couldn't make it.

May 25, 2006: I was invited to be a guest summer lecturer on a seminar on Blogging for a college org. I declined, because there are better, more qualified people than me.

August 1, 2006: An account manager asked about advertising on my blog. Demographics, statistics, and writing about a product was required. I declined. One month later, I decided to put Adsense instead.

Q&A

Next question.

eh? I wonder why I usually get this question? Answer: Does the sun set at dawn? Although, I was one time or another, a graphic artist and web designer.

To answer that, would ruin the fun.

Wait, let me check... what do you think?

I showed my photo at my Birthday Post.

It's not my birthday today. :)

Twice the monthly minimum wage equals?

I'm not really big on planning. I thrive on chaos.

But in the near future, I would very much like to break the topics here, probably mirroring them on segmented blogs.

Yes.

It will be hosted somewhere else using Wordpress. One thing is for sure: new topics on love and sexiness will remain here.

I would like to highlight and thank in particular, missyosigirl. She stuck around here for one whole year. If anything else, missyosigirl is a great example of why good content and good design is not enough. Humans conversing matters too. So thank you Shelley, and thank you reader, wherever you are, for traversing the ups and down of this blog.

It's been one hell of a chaotic, frustrating, yet satisfying blogging year. Sophomore Slump, begone! Onwards, onwards.
