I assure you, Jan, it wasn't the reason

Roy’s behavior then used to puzzle me. There was a time he was a regular reader. Then I had tagged him with a blog award or meme – couldn’t tell now which one. Aba, after that, he hardly visited na.

Thought to myself: Ano ba, pa award award pa akong nalalaman. Nabawasan tuloy ang reader ko. Right there, I’ve began to conceive of a way not to offend those who’d been giving me citations. I’d thank them sincerely, but will only post about them if I can bend them to the requirements of my blog.

Doc Z and I are not so different on this matter. The only difference is that he has this widget on his sidebar. I wish had that too in those days.

Well, Roy came back. And never once did I spook him again with a pesky blog award. It’s enough he’s visiting – no more scaring the guy away. And perfect! Roy elected to stay. Ahahaha.

Yoohoo! “,)

That during that time I was beside myself with excitement. Would I win Rocky’s contest? Would I get my own WP blog? I should have relaxed and slept na lang my excitement. But that’s life – we’re all geniuses after the fact. “,)

At this early date, close na pala kami ni Roy. Emailing for help – Roy, what’s that link nga? Please help nga? And Roy would oblige. Fast. And so promptly that it surprised me, too. Ano ba itong si Roy – parang kapitbahay ko lang.

And I remembered asking myself. Who’s this Zorlone guy that keeps checking my blog. Is he here because he really wants to know me? Or is he here on behalf of somebody else – perhaps someone who wanted to know what I’m up to?

I’ve gained some readers by then. But then I still can’t get used to it that people would return and read again. I’m so used to being alone and just writing for myself. ahahaha.

Now, not a day passes, when I don’t check Twitter – now, where exactly are you people? Why aren’t you there? Where is Roy? Where is Doc Z? If Doc Z is not having siesta – where the hell is he?

Oh my, so many things have happened. I hope it continues to be good for all of us. You’re right, it’s wonderful to look back or turn back the pages a little. “,)

Well, I’d write a post about it if it’s related to writing, blogging and the social media. If not, sorry na lang.

Of course, the mother of all blog contest is still rocky’s free wordpress blog. Hays, two more days till announcement of the winner. I can’t breathe. hahahaha. Help!

I know, what you’ll say, “Hika lang yan, bro!”

We have a visitation the other day. And he’s quite a hit here – he calls himself Luke the Skywalker. And tempting Yatot and me and every one to come join the dark side. Should we relent? He’s offering chocolates. Yatot is hopeless. He’s gone over the dark side, chocs unseen.

@zorlone: As long as you’re not in the kidney market, I think I’m safe with you. Will be back tomorrow. My list-post-addled brain was quite surprised, but it has now fully recovered from the unexpected gift. I consider every pleasurable reading as a personal gift from the author.

Now you know why my expertise is in Biology. LOL! Thanks a lot! I really appreciate the vote.
