This is not part of the radical changes I envisioned for this blog.
However, I regret to inform you that this will be the last entry… All good things must come to an end.
In a week’s time, this blog will officially close.
Nevertheless, we will still meet soon… Maybe through a dot-com… (kidding!) You all know where to reach me, just in case… I’ll try my best to regularly visit your blogs too… I am still contemplating if I will maintain my other personal blog.
Don’t be dismayed at good-byes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends. – Richard Bach
May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you. May the Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace… – Numbers 6:24-26
waw..sana nga magka-dotcom ka na, & whatever those reasons maybe, kaya mo pansamantalang lilisanin ang blogosphere, cool lang sa aming mga fans mo..haha!
newey, ‘wag mo muna (o sanang) iclose yung isang blog mo, marami pang entries dun ang ‘di namin nababasa.. ^_^ yun lang..
carp diem!
Thanks Jem!
aw, just like death?!
In a way, yes… But there is this myth about the phoenix… It rises out of its own ashes of death…
alam mo iniisip ko, paano kung wala tayong modes of communication.. paano kung hindi ko alam paano ka kokontakin.. tapos nabasa ko tong artic mo.
pakiramdam ko nawalan ako ng kuya.. kuya sa blogrld. sa mundo ng cyber. yung iniisip ko pa lang na kapag pinuntahan ko tong address na’to sasabihin ng google “this address does not exist or has been deleted.” isa kase to sa security blanket ko dito sa cyberworld.. blog mo, blog ni jason, mr. nonsense at father fiel.. lagi ko kaseng dinadalaw ‘to nitong mga nakaraang araw.. hindi mo na ako masyado makikita sa FB, kase priority ko ang blogging. mga comments mo rin ang bumubuhay sa blog ko kahit boring ang artic ko..
pero naisip ko rin kase na dadating ako dyan.. balang araw ako naman yung magpapaalam sa blogrld. pupuntahan ko rin yang ganyang desisyon.. na titigil din ako. tatamarin magsulat. mawawalan ng gana.
Haha! I’ll reply in detail dun sa alam mo na…. hehehe…
Haha, sorry. nailagay ko pala yung hindi dapat mailagay! Yay!
my infamous phrase. i hate you. haha.
bakit ba di ko magawang iedit ang comment ko bago to ipasa?! haha. ang dami kong loopholes, lapses at inconsistencies ng ideas.
maiba ako, i expected a more dramatic farewell from this blog.. yung tipong paiiyakin yung reader. you disappointed me, Kuya Mark. haha, nang-aaway na ako. wala yun. ganyan lang ako magjoke.. buti pala nagpacontest ka dati, kase hindi ako magre research ng tungkol sa iyo. sa totoo lang, nag comment ka sa akin.. sabi mo:
haha. akala ko sa akin mo lang pinadala yan.. tapos nung nagblo-blog hop ako nabasa ko rin sa ibang blogs. pero natouch ako nung una kong nabasa.. kase di ko masyado binibisita yung blog mo dati. ayun, napasabak ako sa contest! haha. sabi ko, ang hirap ng contest na’to.
eto ang una mong comment sa blog ko:
On the article, Jellyace Comes Back to Haunt Me. Parang close na tayo diyan dahil tinatawag mo pa ako sa pangalang Ax. haha. Oh, di ba! [CWW: at may karugtong pa, na para lang din sa ating mga mata... hehe... ]
eto na naman ako, hindi nag edit ng comment bago ito ipasa.. mali tuloy yung block quote ko..
tatadtarin ko na ng comments tong post mo.. wala lang. last na atang post mo’to. kahit di pa ako kumakain ng dinner, wala lang.. gusto ko lang magcomment dito. haha.
God bless you too kapatid!
Hintayin namin ang yung pagbabalik..
Salamat kapatid… God bless you too…
ayokong mag over react ha. sana bumalik ka, yun lang. wala na makapag nlighten sa akin. Salamat sa lahat.
In another time Red…
why oh why do you have to close? can’t you just hibernate? whyyyy?
Hmmm… I’ll see you in FB…
hmmm..i will wait for your parousia….bahagi ito ng xtian hope di ba?
Yes, Kuya Blu, bahagi yan ng Christian hope… naiilang akong mag-isip na may “parousia” din ako… but we’ll meet again, sometime somewhere…
“Tubtub sa aton pagkita”, Till we meet again!
Goodbyes is not the end… it is just the beginning.
Goodluck and God Bless you always!
Thank you Darbs… Our paths will meet again in the future…
Hahaha – nagulat lang kapatid. Buti na lang, nabasa ko si John d Baptist kanina, being held back in the desert para hasain, at sa kanyang pag-ahon mula sa disyerto, sharp na sharp ang dating, matunog na matunog ang kanyang mensahe: REPENT…hahaha.Iniisip ko, baka kelangan mo lang hasain sa katahimikan ang hindi pa nahahasa. At sa iyong pag-ahon mula sa katahimikan, syempre, aabangan ko ang yong malutong na mensahe para sa sangka-blogosperiyahan…
Salamat kapatid… Your thoughts are always piercing…
Some other time kapatid… some other time…
Syanga pala – ilang pa rin ako hanggang ngayon sa FB hahaha…
I-add mo ako kapatid… hehehe…
im somehow sad when i see post like this but everyone deserves his/her time. i think it’s part of blogging. sometimes, it just must come to an end.
Yes, and an end sometimes marks a new beginning…
ano kaya ang susunod na kabanata? hehe
God Bless You kapatid.
Yun ang dapat abangan kapatid…
Kasi nga may susunod talaga… 
God bless din!
awwwwwww…. wala ako masabi kundi awwwwwww….
pero kung san ka masay, suportahan taka. hehe.
Salamat AC…

May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you. May the Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace… – Numbers 6:24-26

Thanks Dencios….
tokayo, why oh why?
you don’t have to ‘officially close’ your blog. if you need time, sige lang.
we reach a point in our blogging life when we feel like we’ve had enuf. although we are still connected thru facebook, it’s still different visiting you thru this site.
it’s just my two cents worth anyway.the decision is still yours.
basta keep us posted ha? feel free to buzz me anytime you’re online.sasagot ako pag hindi busy. God bless you.
Thanks tokayo… Basta, this blog may end, but this may not be the end of it all…
im surprised of your decision. sayang naman… why not be absent for a while lang? just don’t remove your blog to have the future gen x something to read. future gen x gid ya. hehe…
think things over. i hope “officially close” doesn’t mean permanent deletion.
see you in FB and in your future dot com.
btw, thanks for sending me the daily gospel. take care always! God Speed!
Hehehe… Thanks Er…
Thanks to all those who commented above…
After weeks of inactivity, this blog’s traffic is surprisingly active and I still receive regular queries about the places and some issues I have posted…
So for posterity’s sake, this blog will remain “open” but no more future updates…
Well, I’m sad to see you go, but I also understand the need to just bow out (every once in a while). I predict that you will re-emerge in a year in another blog-form.
I’m so fortunate to have communicated with you in this short time. Whenever I read your posts I am reminded, even guided to find the good in myself and to make sure I direct it to good ends. You seem to live a life a meaning and purpose, something that so many people miss the chance to experience. I have also really enjoyed getting to know some of your readers; their goodness is a reflection of your own.
So, blessings to you on your journey. May the wind be at your back.
Caroline
Ayun naman pala! Hindi magclo close! Dami ko atang link dito! Haha. (At yun ang naisip!)
Ayun, maraming panahon para magbackread dito sa blog mo! Aw.
I think I’m cracking up.. Am I just paranoid..? Sometimes my mind play tricks on me.. I think I’m cracking up.. Oh, no. Ow. Sometimes, I give myself some creeps.. Sometimes my mind play tricks on me.. It all keeps adding up.. I think I’m cracking up.. Oh no. I think I’m stoned.
Hmn, abangan ang susunod na kabanata hehehe. Tama, wag mo itong isasara, sayang naman, Mark
I agree with Nortehanon. Leave it open and hoping na yung “isasara” doesn’t mean “delete”. May marami akong alam na talagang dinelet ung mga blog nila. Sayang pero who are we to stop anybody from doing so. Happy journey na lang Mark.
oo nga mark, juest leave it here. para makita parin ng mga makakabisita dito ang blog mo. alam ko rin na may matututunan parin dito kahit dimo na i-update.
