In the digital age, we meet online, Where distance fades and pixels shine. We share our thoughts with taps and swipes, In spaces lit by screens and bytes.
A message sent across the seas, Through tangled webs of data streams. We laugh with friends we’ve never met, In virtual rooms where lives are set.
Yet sometimes in this glowing light, We long for voices in the night. For eyes that meet, for hands to hold, For warmth that screens cannot unfold.
But still, we chat, we text, we share, In digital bonds that float like air. A world connected, vast and wide, Where even lonely hearts can hide.
So here we are, in bits and bytes, Our lives entangled, day and night. In this new world, both near and far, We search for love beneath a star.
Blogger: A passionate human being, who writes or posts contents on the Internet and on a very personal note. Someone who enriches the virtual World Wide Web with humanity.
Over two years ago, and in spirit of thanksgiving, I shared some of my good memories with fellow bloggers who I had the blessings and joy of sharing friendship with. However, given the span of time alone (with more than a decade of blogging), I don’t think one post is enough to express my appreciation. Truthfully, many times I couldn’t reciprocate given my health challenges and personal struggles. Thank goodness, the following bloggers below are genuinely nice people. Please bear with this humble post in gratitude for their kindness, generosity, compassion and support.
He’s the kindhearted man behind the blog, WritingToFreedom. He’s a gentle soul who writes poignant poems and musings about nature and his personal experiences. My favorite among his works, is the simple line, “Me in love with life. . .”
Brad, I owe you tons. Thank you so much for everything you do!
Dana is the fine woman behind the D-ale Copilariei.She is a passionate mother, who writes in Romanian. She fondly talks about her kids and the glory of motherhood. She’s also into photography and love for animals.
Dana, though we hardly see each other online, I know our mutual love and friendship remain. Thank you!
Cindy is a true naturalist. She is from California. She’s very much into photography. She is well traveled. And she is so beloved by our peers. Note that Cindy has tens of thousands (maybe more) of followers. And I think that alone speaks volumes.
Cindy, you inspire me and many of our fellows. A million thanks for being so kind and nice. Happy Thanksgiving, Cind!
Randall is an American living in Hong Kong. He is a professional photographer. His subjects are mostly people, cultures, and nature. He is well-traveled and is also into philosophy.
Randall, you deserve a Nobel for all your works . I am a fan and always will be.
Esther writes evocative poetry (especially haikus) and into aphorism. Esther writes in French, which inspired me to learn the language. What I find intriguing (and admirable at the same time) about my friend, is the line: “To live happily, live hidden.”
Esther, merci beaucoup. Je t’aime ma cheri, ma ami.
Paul is an engineer who simply love photography. What I share with him, is his love to learn, read, flowers and arts. He writes, “I like paintings and pictures, classical and crossover music, I like mountains and the sea, everything is beautiful,” Paul are you my soulmate? Just playin’.
Gavin is a minimalist and photographer. He is so brave to opt pictures in black-and-white. And with the 808, we have Hawai’i in common (I believe). He is also a music lover. Gavin likewise shares his personal struggles on his blog. And for that, I can’t thank him enough. For such openness, honesty and courage, we make ourselves vulnerable and easy targets of haters.
But Gavin, I am so proud of you. And I thank of you for the many years of support and friendship. God bless you my friend.
Wendell is my brother in Christ. He is the loving man behind the blog, WhereWordsDailyComeAlive. His blog is an oasis. Every post is so full of love and devotion to God. He also once lived here, in Hawai’i. And I can’t recall a negative post from Wendell.
Marina paints, draws, and designs (a minimalist). She is also an entrepreneur. We once tried to venture into a business. Sadly, my school schedule got in the way.
Hi, Marina. it’s been awhile. But I still hope one day, we can make our venture materialize.
Ivon is a professor. And that said, you can learn a lot from this man. He writes essays and poems. The name of his blog alone is truly an inspiration TeacherAsTransformer.
Happy Thanksgiving, Prof. Prefontaine! Thank you for your generosity.
Some of us blog for a living. Some of us blog for coping (with loneliness, sickness and etc). Some of us blog for expressing and giving in to passion. But whatever is behind your blogging, know that you are a part of something meaningful. Because every blog has a personal touch. Every blog enriches the Internet with humanity (for humanity). For that we have to give thanks and be grateful
Thank you, Mih–for your kindness, your patience, your friendship–thank you!
I have blogged for years now. But I never met a man as gentle and kind as Mihran Kalaydjian. Because aside from the fact that he had been so generous reblogging my posts, there was this one very warm conversation I had with him.
When I posted my condolences to our dear Ajaytao, I made Mihran cry that day. Although I was worried if I made him cry because I wrote bad; or I wrote something for Oscar’s (coz I do have the tendency for drama), but I was really touched with his honest sentiment. Coz Mihran never met Ajay, yet he shed a tear for him. He even asked me “Why am I crying, Aina?” I told him, “It’s because Mihran, you’re a gentleman with a very big heart and beautiful soul.” And so we were both crying in the end.
And I mean those words up to this very minute that I am writing this post. I could go on forever enlisting all the great things I appreciate in Mihran. So, I narrow it down to ten, and they’re below:
I guess, what I am trying to say: Mih, thank you for coming our ways! Thank you for the kindness you do everyday! Thank you for being a true gentleman in every way! You earned not only our respect, but our hearts as well. May all the blessing of Heaven and Earth be upon you, my friend! A million thanks to you kind thing!
P.S. Please own the message of the song below. It’s for you. I thank you with all my heart and soul!
. . .to all the fellow She’s of WordPress, and of the world.

The lotus whose beauty, divinity candor, and grace, always brings sunshine even on rainy days—
II
The pretty, little dainty who loves pigtails, new dresses lollipops and fairytale, but will never trade your lap and warm embrace—
III
The chic high-schooler who loves mini-skirts, lip glosses, Blush-ons, Roses, and serenades—
IV
The selfless Fiancée who would give up the world to wear your ring, and say “I do,” come what may.
V
Her eyes mirror her yearning soul; Her smiles are ever glorious and bright; Her tears so crystal clear and could melt the stiffest heart be afar or near.
VI
She carried you in her womb; She fed you with her blood; She sang you a lullaby for so many nights.
So love her—
Cherish her—
Coz though
she is,
what she is–
SHE is a gift–
so, you must
love her!
Say what you mean,
and mean what you say.
Don’t talk nonsense.
Speak with weight.
Don’t talk in haze,
Speak straight.
You may write an essay,
or a play,
for a broadway,
in a hallway,
or a driveway,
freeway,
highway,
byway,
in whatever ways,
just write and say
your heart out.
Never talk like doomsday;
avoid cliché.
Speak with grace.
Never brag;
No one listens to proud.
Say and be glad
for the voice,
the message,
and the gut.
