Tell me about you

One of the greatest pleasures of blogging is getting to know you through your comments and blog entries. I’d love to meet all of you, so I’m asking you to tell me about yourself.

You see, I’m curious. I want to know if the people who find this blog are mostly males or females…

1. Are you in your 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s?

2. What do you do with your life? Are you a blogger too? Or a bereaved family member?

3. How did you find this blog?

4.How often do you come to visit?

5.What topics interest you the most?

If you humor me and tell me all about you, I promise to do these things:

1) I’ll visit your blog. If you have one, that is. And, if you leave the link when you comment here.

2) I’ll leave a comment or two in your blog. Maybe more, if you convert me as a regular reader.

3) I’ll tell you at least ONE thing that I like about you/your blog. I might even write all about you!

Even if you leave comments here and there , you can always tell me something about yourself that you’d like me to know – maybe something surprising, something you’re proud of, or something you think is cool about you. I look forward to knowing more about YOU.

(I got this idea from from Shai Coggin and Cottontimer.)

Lastly, please sign my map so I know what part of the world you are coming from.

I am in my mid 30s. Here is how I would describe myself in a nutshell: Born-again Christian – saved by God’s amazing grace. Loving wife and mother. Fulltime housewife. Parttime ER nurse. Outdoor wedding infopreneur.

I found this blog indirectly through twitter. I was following Pia Cayetano and clicked to see who she is following. That’s how I get to follow interesting people. And that’s how I found you. This is my first visit to your blog. I am sorry to read about your son’s loss. That is a mom’s worst nightmare and I couldn’t even begin to imagine how it must have been for you. My sister lost her son a month after he was born almost 3 years ago. It was very, very painful even for me. Especially so because I also just had my first baby a year before, and I can empathize, having a child of my own. A mother’s love really cannot be expressed in words. I can honestly say that it was the darkest and most helpless days in my life – when he was struggling to survive. (It was a very complicated delivery.) Coupled with that fact was my father was diagnosed with colorectal cancer the day of my nephew’s burial. With God’s grace, my sister was able to get through that ordeal. Since that time, my father has had surgery, had a couple cycles of chemotherapy and has been doing relatively well.

What topics interest me the most? For now, mostly wedding topics since I am in the process of creating my outdoor wedding website. I also just got interested with twitter and is currently quite active with that. You can visit my twitter page if you like!

In closing, I would just want to leave you with a encouraging verse from the Bible (King James Version):
“The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them.” Deuteronomy 33:27

1. Are you in your 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s?
~ I’m 19 years old. I’m turning 20 next month.

2. What do you do with your life? Are you a blogger too? Or a bereaved family member?
~ I am a 3rd year college student taking up Nursing as my pre-med course in UST. I do part time things when the load isn’t heavy and a friend is in need (hosting, singing or performing and writing). I’m currently the editor-in-chief in our campus journal (UST Nursing Journal).

Yes, I am a blogger too. But I believe I don’t blog like most “bloggers” do. I’m simply a writer-blogger and more of an expressive one. I usually blog just to release my emotions and expel my frustrations. And I usually use this medium to keep my writing skills alive and to express the things that I can’t in a school paper.

As for a bereaved family member, I can’t really say that it’s all biological. I have lost “family members” too both in my real family and in my other families (friends). It’s too much actually.

3. How did you find this blog?
~ I invited you through plurk and I saw the links in your plurks. I think I asked a stupid question about the link for the topic you were saying in plurk because I wasn’t “decent” after a day in school. Anyway, in case you were wondering, I invited you because I thought you were interesting. I don’t really invite people I don’t personally know or my friends don’t personally know. But I like to invite people whom I believe have interesting stories to tell. Your blog is a testament to that. I don’t have the time yet to read most of the entries but so far, it’s interesting.

4.How often do you come to visit?
~ I honestly didn’t note the frequency. I suppose I visit, give or take, once a month.

5.What topics interest you the most?
~ Your opinions and your story. For your opinions, I can’t say I agree with all of them. I just like to know what people have in mind. As for your story, I just really like learning about other people ever since I was young.

If you humor me and tell me all about you, I promise to do these things:
~ I won’t humor you to be honest. But I’ll tell you something about my life. Right now, things are pretty challenging for me. It shouldn’t really matter, but this is the exact year when I am living half of my life without my father. He passed away (almost) 10 years ago because of a massive heart attack. It was his “Chinese” birthday then and there was supposed to be a celebration that night night, August 23, 1999. His birthday is on August 13… This month. It’s pretty difficult for me because.. it just is. I think there is no explanation necessary.

1) I’ll visit your blog. If you have one, that is. And, if you leave the link when you comment here.
~ Thanks. I do have one but it’s in private mode. If you’d like to view it, just tell me. Though I doubt that you would really want to. hehe.. I may be a straight male, but I do whine a lot. =))

2) I’ll leave a comment or two in your blog. Maybe more, if you convert me as a regular reader.
~ I just have a chatterbox.. The blog skin I borrowed doesn’t have a comment bar.

3) I’ll tell you at least ONE thing that I like about you/your blog. I might even write all about you!
~ I’d like it if you tell me what you think. I don’t think you’d find me as someone to write about.

1. Are you in your 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s?
I am in my 30′s now.
2. What do you do with your life? Are you a blogger too? Or a bereaved family member?
I am currently here in Vancouver, Canada working in one of the law firms. I have a blog but it’s under one of those networking sites. I have my fair share of losses, from losing very dear friends in death and losing a husband in life.

3. How did you find this blog?
I was just browsing through when I got the chance to see your page and Luijoe’s. His angelic face drew me to read further about his life and his leaving. I truly admire your strength and courage and how you were able to turn such a tragedy into a life changing experience. I have been through a lot too specially during the past year. My faith in God was the one strong factor in my life that enabled me to rise from my misery. Somehow I could relate with what you went through but surely not as painful as losing someone who came from you.

4.How often do you come to visit?
This would be my first time to visit your page and certainly not the last.

5.What topics interest you the most?
All about your coping and dealing with what life has hurdled your way and of course your son’s life.

Thank you for guesting in 702 DZAS this morning.

I am a young professional who recently has a miscarriage after so many years of praying for a kid. I was born with a weak heart and the doctors have always warned me about the dangers of pregnancy.

When I was blessed to concieve one, I lost the kid.

Thanks for telling me that I’m not alone.

2. What do you do with your life? Are you a blogger too? Or a bereaved family member? At the moment, I’m a lay missionary for my Catholic community. Just recently started blogging. Still learning the ropes.

3. How did you find this blog? Was researching for our website/blog and stumbled upon it accidentally.

4.How often do you come to visit? Just started, but hope to visit regularly.

5.What topics interest you the most? Christian faith, marriage, parenting, breastfeeding, pro-life, homeschooling, blogging for a cause, blogging for profit, Pinoys’ lifestyle abroad, mission, languages (can speak 4 hehe)

I am very inspired by your life story. I have 2 kids: Tim, my 3 and a half yr old son and Rysse, my 9 month old baby. Both born on mission here in East Timor (Timor Leste). So many of the women here have experienced death of at least one of their children, to them it’s like an everyday occurrence, just one of those things that happens. It’s very depressing at times. But it also reminds me to be thankful and treasure our kids. THANK YOU for reminding me too. I tend to be irritated lately with Tim. But thank GOD for using you to remind me to be an unconditional mom who loves unconditionally.

Will keep you and your whole family esp your ANGEL in our prayers. Maromak bensa ita! God bless you!

1. Are you in your 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s?
-numbers: 34 mentality: somewhere between 13-20 years old

2. What do you do with your life? Are you a blogger too? Or a bereaved family member?
-Web designer/creative thinker. Yes in a way. Nothing like yours but my daughter too was taken away from me by my ex wife with no warning or notice. I get her on weekends, and 2 weekends ago, they just weren’t here anymore. Still doing the legal work to find them. Although I know nothing of the pain you must feel, I have some kind of idea of what it feels like to have their child taken away from you. she is 3 years old.

3. How did you find this blog?
-was researching on internet habbits and internet usage of Filipino’s in the Philippines to have a better idea on how to design websites.

4.How often do you come to visit?
- 1st time. and it gave me chills that I was researching on internet habbits and came across this blog made by a mother started it to ‘help move on’ I was touched and humbled.

5.What topics interest you the most?
-Designing. my daughter. trying to be the best father I can to her.

If you humor me and tell me all about you, I promise to do these things:
- about me is very vague and can use up the alotted space here but I like the simple things. kids laughing, designing, practical jokes here and there and great friends that keep you grounded

1) I’ll visit your blog. If you have one, that is. And, if you leave the link when you comment here.
-the blog will be coming soon. im dedicating it to my daughter and how I will continue to live with her through that blog. In hopes that maybe one day…when she’s surfing the net or googles her name, she will see the site/blog and know who I am and how I never lived a day with out her. and how much she means to my family.

2) I’ll leave a comment or two in your blog. Maybe more, if you convert me as a regular reader.
-im the worst writer! but a great conversationalist.

3) I’ll tell you at least ONE thing that I like about you/your blog. I might even write all about you!
- I can only hope that you will like my sites/blog. Some do, some don’t. Some don’t even see the work and effort that goes into designing a website/blog. Most don’t even care. But one good thing you will like about it is that it was made with passion, heart and soul.

Just wana say thank you and wishing you all the best. You help inspire people like me who seem so lost about the family/child situation and trying to cope with it living in a world that stops for no one.

Ill be back to read more!

1. Are you in your 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s? – I’m 19. Turning 20 this coming August.

2. What do you do with your life? Are you a blogger too? Or a bereaved family member?
- As of now, I’m an undergrad and I stopped studying. I’m also a blogger, but I’m still a newbie on the blogosphere. I love to play with codes and do programming stuff.

3. How did you find this blog?
- I followed you on Twitter and I always see you actively tweeting about important issues.

4.How often do you come to visit?
- Honestly, I just visited you today. I also read your About page and I’m inspired by your strength. I also lost something important to me. Though people considered pets as just animals, I treat them as my children and part of our family. Last month, two of my cats died in 2 consecutive days. (One was road killed, one was poisoned.) I believe someone sabotaged us. And because ‘they’re just animals’, I couldn’t do anything for them. I want to know who did that but it’s impossible. My parents just told me that they’re cats, and they’re dead, and that I should just get over it.

Just the thought that I wouldn’t see them again consumes me every day that has passed. I just make myself busy so I wouldn’t feel the pain but it’s unavoidable. I see them grow up, took care of them, and they have been always on my side. Then I just woke up one day, they’re gone forever.

5.What topics interest you the most?
- Everything about the World Wide Web. I also love astronomy, music, visual arts, and programming.

Here’s my blog: http://loading-info.blogspot.com Though I’m not sure if you’ll like the topics. They’re more of the technical side than advices. By the way, it’s nice to meet you here po.
