@sir jorge — I know, I miss it sometimes… we all use email instead.

@Jemima — And this one was much appreciated!

@RennyBA — I wouldn’t have thought we were such a strong network when I first started blogging, but I’m glad it turned this way.

@Travis — This one was certainly a great surprise and made my day!

@bluefish — People care. They do. They just don’t know how to show it most of time.

@Scarlet — So Shionge is well known among you guys! Funny! This was certainly a great surprise, she is so sweet!

@Feng — And trust me, I wasn’t expecting that one!

@Ulquiorra — The greenish thing is Tiger Balm but very concentrated I think. I don’t like this one… I like the balm best. It’s mostly for sore muscles or insect bites.

@durano lawayan — Thank you for the kind word. I believe our personality show in blogging as well, you can tell people who are interested in the world and selfish ones.

@Ulquiorra — I only kill mosquitoes, you’re fine

@kyh — It’s one good side of blogging, isn’t it!

@Graham — … and I just love surprises! Oh, by the way, I will post my entry for the photohunt next week

@shionge — Thank you again, sweet girl! I can’t tell you how surprised I was, I open the package with Feng and we were both oooh and aah! Two little kids, I’m telling ya

@Aidan — Nah, not that much confidence… but Shionge is a sweet girl and I’m glad I got to know her!

@Linguist-in-Waiting — Funny, isn’t it?! Almost none of my readers know me in real life, my friends don’t read English that well. Only a couple do, one good friend in Paris and another one in Ottawa, that’s it.

I originally started blogging as an outlet of the things I had been brewing in my head. Then it became a convenient method of updating my friends and family about the things about me. But the thing I find most fascinating about blogging is the fact that there are people I haven't even met and yet they are curious about my life and the things I write about. Some of these blog friends come and go, some stay longer than others. By the way, many thanks for the reply regarding my query. It's not a plan for the near future, but hopefully we are all looking forward to visiting what lies beyond the border. Linguist-in-Waitings last great read...Windows Thinks I Am Stupid

That will have certainly been a nice little surprise for you Zhu. You definitely strike up a good friendship with fellow bloggers do you not. It certainly must be nice for you to know that you have that sort of friendship with people. I suppose you can only really get those sorts of friendships if you have the confidence, but then again you do seem to have bags of confidence .

My pleasure, my pleasure, my pleasure Zhu It is true what Renny menioned that blog connects people and a very unique way of embracing friendship and getting to know each other better.

I just love to surprise people, I only wish I have more time to do it and you know the frenzy when it is Christmas yet again.

I am glad that you have enjoyed the gifts and do let me know when you run out of Tiger Balm ya, there’s plenty roaring here kekekekek…

Have fun and I hope you’ll find the crackers a delight which is one of my favourite.

Have a wonderful weekend Zhu

Forgot to tell you this but I kind of copied your “World” page layout for my Link Gallery. I use the term “copy” loosely.

Please don’t kill me

Hi Zhu,

What we post and how we express these really reveals a part of us, sometimes a very large part. No matter how we try to hide it in humor or sarcasm, our humanity, personality and character comes to the surface.

Some bloggers gravitate to one another, perhaps because of similarities in experience, circumstances, or ideas and orientations.

You character and personality, attitudes, values and beliefs (well a lot of it)certainly surfaced through this blog by the posts you have published. As everyone who reads and comments on your posts with some regularity would agree, you are a very warm, generous, and wholesome person, possessed with some naivete’ but honest and true to your word. You’re also remarkable in the way you traveled at age 16 until you settled in Canada, and I believe this has given you the heart to have empathy for people you met along the way, the kindness of sharing what you have, and the soul to truly love people and use things, rather than use people and love things.

You’re wonderful Zhu, and I for one am glad to know you. –Durano, done!
