🙂 hello!
Joyo- A frustrated CPA, Part time daydreamer, Full Time Procrastinator 😆
Hi Sir.
Maraming salamat sa pagpapakita ng iyong interes sa Kamalayang Malaya.
🙂
Kainaman ang inyong credentials Sir. Ang haba. Nakakalunod.
🙂
Hi 🙂
Glad to find a fellow Rotaractor here ^^
Btw, I was the president of Rotaract Club of De La Salle Araneta University D3800 RY 2009-2010.
Looking forward to celebrate fellowships with your club 🙂
Sorry for the late reply. Nice to know you too. Fellowship with your club will be even nicer. Keep in touch with RAC San Pedro East .
kainaman, pagkakagaling naman pala nareng si azel e…
at nabasa ko yung DSSPC days,, minsan lang ako nakarating ng Regional, sa Lucena din.. pero di naman ako nakalusot… ikaw na,, idol…hehehe
Salamat ulit. Marahil ay nagkakurus na ang ating mga landas noong panahon ng mga presscon.
Madami din pala mga fellow CPAs dito eh.hehehe
Opo. Walang pinipiling propesyon ang pagsusulat. Maraming salamat sa pagdaan. Gayunpaman ay aking ipinababatid sa iyo na ako ay hindi pa isang ganap na Sertipikadong Pangpublikong Kuwentador.
Whoa! Ang galing naman. Share ko lang po, laking DSPC-RSPC-NSPC din ako. Ang saya talaga ng experience. I’m currently in my last year in high school. Ini-enjoy ko na to the fullest ang pagsali ng press con. XD
umuulan ng awards..who00000 🙂
IDOL!

shaks, you do numbers tapos, nakakapagsulat ka… ikaw na. regards 😉
Hahahaha. Ako nga. Salamat sa matiyagang pagbabasa ng aking mahabang maikling kuwento. Salamat sa pagbisita.
Yabang! Ikaw na! Haha 😀
Hahahaha 🙂
It’s good to see a fellow Rotaractor/Rotarian around here! I was President of the Rotaract Club at the University of Oklahoma from 2011-2012. Such an awesome organization.
Thanks David. Rotaract clubs are awesome indeed. It served as my avenue to continue writing and hence, blogging.
You may click the “The First Light” in my Top Menu or hit the category “X-press-ions on Rotary Family” in my sidebar.
Thanks for reading my Legacy story! If you aren’t following my blog,, I hope you will consider doing so. I will follow your blog and see what else you have in store!
Wow! lupet ng credentials mo sir! Babasahin ko lahat ng gawa mo.
Wow! You’ve been busy!
Thanks for stopping by my Post today!
You’re welcome. No problem. I just love pictures of plants and I love planting too.
Thanks for ‘liking’ my recent post! Cheers.
You’re always welcome. I’m the one who must thank you for the wonderful posts you have in your site. I love reading them.
Thank you for visiting my blog site. I hope it brought encouragement to you.
You’re welcome. I just love your roses. I envy you. I have propagated a lot of various plants, but roses, oh it was either- their roots just got rotten or aphids consumed them all up. Sigh. Keep on writing and posting.
I feel humbled at your “like” on my post on Serendipity Farm because you seem to be a very accomplished man. Thank you for liking our exploits and dropping by to check us out. I love the moniker…”a solemn punch” something delivered righteously but not necessarily enjoyed. I hope to see you back on Serendipity Farm whenever you feel like it. Just make yourself a coffee and make yourself at home. If you hang about till November we have lemon wine and orange wine on the brew…might be a good batch…might not. Sometimes you just have to wait and see what you get, a great life lesson 🙂
You’re welcome. I simply love everything that has something to do with plants.
Plants are our world. It’s hard for them not to be when both of us are horticulturalists :). The good thing is that there isn’t anyone to tell you not to go nuts with propagation. The bad thing is that the house is full of plants! 🙂
Thank you for stopping by .. great information and punch … family ties to R.of Seattle
Thanks and You are always welcome. Yours in Rotary, Asel
Look forward to hearing more from The Brown Farmer 😉
Thanks. I just have to have a camera so that I can post more on it. See you there.
Hi, thanks for your subscription to my blog! Welcome 🙂
Hi, thanks for stopping by and liking my post! I feel quite humbled next to your list of accomplishments as a journalist… Keep up the awesome work! 🙂
Thanks for the like on my post. You have many interesting things going on with your blog. I will check in often. 🙂
Aba i see some rotaracts here.. Ahem we are the roster members of rotaract club of cubao ( the date, well basta roster member ako.. ) nice to read your not so short credential are you planning to run or something? 🙂 nakakalula magbasa.. Sa dami ng credentials mo feeling ko grade 1 lang inabot ko.. 🙂 thanks for liking my post By the way. 🙂
Paki edit na lang message ko.. Haha nabobo ako sa mga credentials mo eh.. 🙂
Thank you so much for stopping by my blog(^_^)
You have a great blog and looking forward too see more your posts.
Wow. Quite a life you’ve lived so far. And you’ve certainly made an impression on me with your eclecticism (which I’m sure many people notice too). Good luck, and take care. 🙂
Thank you for visiting, feel free to stop by anything. 😉
It’s my pleasure. Thanks also for that wonderful piece.
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog
You’re always welcome. I enjoy it.
Finally here I fine a journalist to which I can relate!
Hahahaha. Just a frustrated journalist. Just the basics. Anyway, thanks for dropping by. I will follow you wherever you will go.
Nice to have you drop in as well. My site is mostly poetry. Sonnets of a fairly classical style–with some deviations, here and there.
Hello! Thank for the likes. Heartwarming. 🙂
You’re welcome. I just love your works.
Interesting introduction, like it.
I also like your articles. Thanks.
Thanks, very encouraging, I’m just learning, whereas you all write so well.
You are quite of a person. Thanks for dropping by. Mabuhay ka!!! : )
Salamat.
Impressive background. Thank you for the visit to my blog and the likes. 🙂
You also have an impressive collection of beautiful posts. Thanks.
Thank you for the likes : )
You’re welcome.
Thanks for liking my blog post – if you really ARE interested in Australian flowering trees then you might like to visit my rainforest site at http://myrainforest.wordpress.com/about/, though not for a couple of weeks because I’m only just starting to develop it as a resource for my readers. Your site is most interesting, in a very different way to mine.
Just stopping by to thank you for your recent like on Shift Key. Your site is excellent; enjoying your haiku. I even checked the meter in those I couldn’t read — must be the tech writer or old Army linguist in me. Oh, and thanks for the info on tanka; new to me – I’ll check it out.
You’re welcome.
hi thank you po for liking my recent post “Sa Iyong Pagtanda” sana maimprove ko pa ang writing skills ko tulad nyo, 🙂
Hey, thanks for visiting my blog,, you are super awesome. what did you like about http://samrasaid.wordpress.com/2012/09/26/nomad/ as it is in draft mode and like feedback. Merci
Hi,
Thank you for visiting my blog “Is it better yet?” and liking my post about being patient after knee surgery. I’m glad you did because now I’ve discovered your blog and all the interesting things you’ve been writing! I haven’t read everything yet, (and I can only understand the English I’m afraid) but I like what I have read so far.
Best wishes, Lyn
Crisp now the pale air
Enfolds the leaves in ochre
Starling-full the sky

Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for visiting and liking my post “Blushing Impatients”.

Quite impressive. 🙂 Thanks for visiting my blog.
You’re welcome. Thanks also for your visit.
Thank you very much for visitng my blog and liking my poem, ‘Dussehra’ I have gone through your write ups and found them aweinspiring.
You’re always welcome. No Problem.
Thank you for visiting my blog and liking my poem! Your list of writing awards and experience is really amazing.
You’re Welcome. I did enjoy your poem.
I just love the title of this entry… and look where “A Journalist by Frustration” bought you! SO MANY awards! I must say, I do not know you personally but you must be proud of yourself! So many achievements! Keep them up 🙂
Thanks for the like on my blog! I am now following your blog and would really appreciate it if you would follow mine as well! Very impressive list of experience above. I am just starting out in the blog world and continue to be amazed by all of the talented individuals I have run across.
Thanks for coming by my blog! This is a new blog for me and I appreciate any readers! I hope to be posting a photo-a-day starting Nov. 1st so I hope you will come back by! I will be checking out your blog further!
You’re welcome. I’ll be following you then.
Hi! Thank you so much for stopping by my blog and for the “likes” on my haiku. It meant a lot to me that you took the time to visit my blog and that you enjoyed my writing and pictures.
I enjoyed your haiku very much! And I’m looking forward to reading more of your entries in the future. =)
Hi there. Thanks for visiting my blog. I liked reading about your views and your coastal clean up experiences! Cheers
Thank you for stopping by and visiting and liking. I am a newbie to this and it is so gratifying and humbling when someone else likes something I write. Please visit again. I am posting today or tomorrow a few pics of tiny wildflowers that survived (in November!) Hurricane Sandy. I will be sure to continue to visit and read. As you (hopefully) read some of the blogs, while I do not usually specifically do plants, I do a lot on nature – one of my favorites is a blog I wrote about a snow day.
Thanks so much for visiting Imagi Newman! I have signed up to follow your blog and look forward to seeing some awesome posts! Be sure to check back periodically at my blog for new posts, photos, and recipes!

I don’t know how you ended up reading “Nagsulat ang Ilong Ko” but thanks for the like. truly appreciated. 🙂
Glad you liked the ‘Reclaiming Halloween’ post. It may of course have been the sonnet that grabbed your attention and that wasn’t mine but came from Malcolm Guite whose poetry is inspirational and whose blog, I’m sure, you would like too: http://malcolmguite.wordpress.com/blog/
All good wishes.
