Jan,

It must be my condition. I was, rather am sick. Recuperating now.

There's something to this comment that I can't quite place. What is it, Doc Z? Is it because you're pregnant again with a new poem? lols. Kidding. You sound a bit formal. It might be just me though. “,)

Jan,

I did not market anything at Brad's site. Just left a comment that I thought was proper for the post. I did enjoy his review about the book and it tells a lot about poets. (Feeling poet ako e)

There are so much inspiration that comes with sadness and failure. It just keeps you challenged and to stand up and to fight again and again and again.

Reading the comments of other people opened up new horizons in terms of the similarities that a "human" being feels. True, we may characterize happiness in so many different levels, but in appreciation of such, we have left a mark of ourselves and expressed a belief that was shared even if it was only in that post.

I agree DiTesco,

There are certain limits that had to be set. First of all, I only jump a building for the sake of Base jumping. LOL Secondly, I'll make sure that Jan will be there with me to jump off of it. he he he.

Yeah, it is trust. If we didn't trust Jan enough to go there, then his persuasion would have been in vain.

Haha, you make it sound like you are a member of “Special Ops”. But I hear you and I can imagine how you manage, to manage, your list. Real time retaliation of unfollowers, that's an idea, but as of now, I'm still on the bulk ops squad, for that matter:)

Yeah, it would be a killer (literally), would it not? Unfortunately, the Filipino community here is very small if not zero. Last time I checked, we do not even have a consulate here (just a representative which I applied for, lol). The nearest consular service is in Madrid, Spain. There the community is bigger.

Thanks, I added that special note because I noticed you've not left a
comment. I checked kaya. Ahehehe. But that's okay. You've more than made
up for it – you went there after all. And now this – you made good on your
promise to write an interview with our good friend Doc Z. Have you tweeted
it already?

With a heavy heart, I'd settle for the beach house - the one facing the Atlantic. I'm just fishing here, of course.

No, I've got you all covered. I've got my listening bugs in place via Google Reader. It just takes long for me to get from one end to the other in my huge reading list. It's a good thing I happened to read your Facebook update - not in Facebook but in my inbox.

It's a complex operation, see? Things are not what they seem. Ahahahaha. No, I get reports of Facebook updates, new Twitter updates as well as list of new followers and those who have unfollowed. Time consuming and makes my inbox ugly with all those hourly reports. But I want to retaliate every unfollow in almost real time. It's my thing. No good deed goes unpunished in my book. Ahahaha.

Echo # 2. Now that's interesting. Does Portugal have a large Filipino community there? You can make a killing selling balut, you know? lols

I guess I have to say welcome Jan. I have been there, but I have not commented. Hmmm, actually, asking visitors to visit another blog is really of great help, specially if they are visitors like me, he he he. I normally visit links from a post, specially if I find them interesting

BTW, already posted my “Interview With a Doctor”

It used to be that I generally add most of the recommended people on #ff. It's so time-consuming. Because I don't use a script or twitter app, it takes me at least 2 hours to add each person. Then you have to at least thank the persons who gave #ff mention or recommendation.

I'd be more strict now. Instead of adding people in the hope that they'd reciprocate, I'd just visit those who interact with me on Twitter. That makes more sense.

If I recommend tweeters but I don't even read at least one of their posts, what does that say about my recommendation? lols
