I raped my draft posts earlier. I laugh at the reason of why those posts remained as drafts and was never published.
Sometimes I am rethinking, why do I blog again? And then it'll hit me, 'because you want to write, no matter how thoughtless or senseless'. And then I will think of the people who read my posts not asking to read theirs in return, those people who are genuinely keeping in touch. and I will smile because.. who wouldn't?
And yes people grow apart. Even in blogosphere. I saw one myself. No, not just one. Maybe. I mean, sometimes you build friendship and then it'll be mostly gone (if not totally) if you'd stop (or at least lag) visiting their sites. Or in some cases, when they were still amateurs or not so big-bloggers, they'll take time to read posts, but now that they are probloggers (thanks to some help from other people), c'mon, I don't want to continue my sentence. Anyway, I'll leave this crappy topic. This is just a non-sense sentiment.
I don't know how to react about this one. There is another Cai blogger out there. I mean, ok, I thought my nick is unique, or at least it is compared to John, Peter and Paul or Alma, Lorna and Fe. It shocks me seeing "my name" on people's tagboards when I don't remember putting it there. Why not? Other person did! Awww. And then a little earlier, I went to Niknok's site. Her new post is the '15-weird-things' meme, and it excited the hell out of me because she tagged 'Cai'. Well, I really thought it was me, until I hover my mouse on it and saw an alien anchor in the status bar of my browser. OK. It's not me.
I mean, ok, I don't know how to handle this but it really annoys the hell out of me. It's not her or my fault if we have the same nickname. Aaaaagh! But… IT IS REALLY ANNOYING!
Ok, leave that. How is blogging going? I mean, you read other people's post, comment on theirs, and wait if they return the visit? Agh. C'mon guys, I need your help here. I have the hard time re-assessing blogging or bloggers in that sense. Tell me that this is not just "I'll visit you, you visit me" business. Please..
Pink Wiwi hehehe :p

Posted by Mica at July 14, 2007, 4:22 pmI have been monitoring the Pinoy blogosphere for quite some time now and I must agree… What you have noticed about the blogosphere today is true.
Most bloggers just drop by other people’s blogs just to leave a comment hoping that you’ll visit theirs. They don’t even think off reading your blog, they just make an entry and wait for readers to drop by and read theirs.
Yes. It seems very unfair. But we can’t really do anything about it. It is like a plague that it is hard to get rid of.
But of course, there are people who take their time when visiting other blogs. These are the people that you should be thankful for.
Thankfully, there are still a handful of them in the blogosphere.
Don’t let these things let you down. Just keep on blogging and love every minute of it. Happy blogging!
Posted by Karlo.PinoyBlogero at July 15, 2007, 5:59 pmOh yeah. About the nick. You could try to change your nick a little just to differentiate yourself from the other gal.
For example, I use Karlo.PinoyBlogero when going around the blogosphere. You could use Cai.PinkUrinal or something like that ^_^
Hope this helps! Happy blogging!
Posted by Karlo.PinoyBlogero at July 15, 2007, 6:01 pmhey! I thought I saw my name in there! hehe Anyway, that sucks nga…I know it’s impossible for us to have like the super most unique name because there really are copycats and syempre coincidences right? That’s why I hate my nickname NIkki cuz I’ve seen some blogs out there authored by Nikki-girls too! So I decided to use my childhood nickname niknok…unfortunately, I still saw someone calling herself niknok! ARgh nakakainis diba? And some people even think I’m making gaya the comic character Niknok Manok. But it’s fine with me. What can I do?
And I agree, it’s pissing off that some bloggers just drop by blogs just to ask the other bloggers to drop by theirs and leave a comment! It’s just unfair! I don’t obligate others to leave my latest post a comment tapos I didn’t even read theirs naman! haaynaku…
yikes ang haba pla ng comment ko!
Posted by niknok at July 16, 2007, 4:49 pmLolz…sa haba ng unang comment ko, I forgot to say YOU’RE TAGGED! wahahaha That’s what I’m here for nga pla! To say you’ve been tagged!
Hope you can answer it!
All comments are moderated. Your comments will not appear here unless approved by the blog owner. Thank you.
yeahhhh… i saw another nick same as yours. so what to do to avoid confusion? Cai 1 and Cai 2? ehehehe…. like in my bro’s community, tatlong Liezl sila, kaya Liezl 1, 2 at 3 sila kung tawagin. anyway, don’t worry much about it, we’ll surely know if it’s you. syempre, yung may-ari ng Pink Urinal, yun na.
about visiting and commenting on other people’s blogs, i am the lurker type of blogger. i usually just keep silent, BUT if there’s this really interesting post and i’d like to have my say in it, i get out of my lurker mode and share my views by commenting. sometimes, i forgot about going back and reading the reply. sometimes pag walang magawa, i go back and read what the blogger has to say about my comment. re-assessing bloggers with comments and visits? mahirap yan. we can’t really judge by that alone.
