A little about me

 

Who am I? I am a wandering soul who has finally found his answer after so long. I dedicate all my poetry to the one I deeply love, Glaiza. She has given me more joy and warmth than I have ever known, I hope you will share our journey together 🙂

  51. What an absolutely lovely blog! Gorgeous photography – you’ve said you don’t have an SLR, but I must tell you I find the process of “traditional” photography is so focused, slower – requires so much patience, it seems very in keeping with your approach to life and growth – enjoying the journey, as it were.

    Thanks so much for stopping by and liking my post – I really enjoyed learning about you!

    • Hi Aliza, thank you so much for stopping by and your kind words! I have to admit, I do sometimes miss the days before the DSLR’s came out and photography took time and constant adjustments. So much more personal touch, so until I get my DSLR I guess it’s iPhone 4 camera and editing lol! 🙂

      Hope to see you again, Have a great day ahead!

Thanks for stopping by my blog and looking around 🙂 I like your story…I grew up listening to Julio Iglesias too because my parents listened to him all the time…so I in turn love Enrique as well. I grew up in Washington and visited Vancouver often when I was going to Western Washington University, so I am loving your photos as they remind me of earlier times. 🙂 Your blog intrigues me and I look forward to seeing more. Have a fantastic rest of your week.

    • Hi Ninali, Thank you so much for visiting and following my blog. I too grew up listening to Julio Iglesias when I lived in Chile, now there was someone who had passion for music and that inspired a lot of my writings. Enrique really did an incredible job of following his father’s footsteps huh? 🙂

  129. Andy, I can’t find your e-mail address, so I have to ask in the “comment” section.
    Somewhere i read something about Japanese or Chinese poetry, but I can’t find it now. I think it was on your blog which I love. This type of poetry is a very short poet of I think 3 lines of only 3 or 5 words per line, but touching on some very deep aspect of life. If you know anything about it, or have indeed posted something on your blog, please inform me. My e-mail address is bibledifferences@gmail.com Thank you.

      I have a passion for photography, Though because I can’t afford a professional grade camera. I often use my cell phone or a point and shoot to capture nature, especially flowers in the spring and summer, There’s so much beauty out there and I don’t want to miss any of it.

      Okie sooo mmmm let’s see…wait..where are the later questions? lol sori it’s been one of those days at work 🙂

  234. Yay, for single dad’s!!! I love it. Well, I love that you’re taking care of your baby and doing it alone is quite difficult but courageous. And since I’m a single mom, well I’m a mom who is single. Since my daughter is grown and married. I’m encouraged that their are singles dad’s out there too, making it happen. Blessings

      • It will be ok since you put your foot down. She will come to appreciate that in time, believe me. Especially if you and your ex are on same page with her parenting. But if not, you still have the upper hand since you’re her dad. Being attentive is the key to successful parenting. Also being proactive and using good listening skills. If you ever get a chance to read my blog, under Ladybug Chronicles, I have a few silly stories that might encourage you, or at least make you laugh. Wow, did I just try and push my blog on you??? Oops…anyway, all the best and I can’t wait to read more of your blog. 🙂

      • I appreciate that! I’m heading over to your section of the blog 🙂 she’s at the rebellious and telling lies phase especially with her puppy love (they start early these days) but yeah I do try to be attentive, yet somehow my little lady still tells me that I don’t understand what she’s going through? wha?? what the heck does that mean?

  235. That just means, she thinks your old hat and it’s a smoke screen to make you think you don’t get it. But I would just do the math with her and show her just how recent it was that you were her age. Also one other thing, monitor her time watching TV and what not. I was very lucky to have a daughter that didn’t like to watch TV or listen to popular music, which help her become more of an individual that didn’t care for pop culture to much. She was kind of artsy and only had four real close friends during her grade school career.

  249. Hello Andy, sorry to bother you again. Actually need a help from you. I published my last post 12 hours ago and submitted my link to The daily post prompt secret admirers. I am frustrated not to see my blog over there despite submitting it thrice. How can I make my ping back functional. I sent a mail too to the hosts but got no reply till now. Do I have to publish the same again or should I forget it and wait for next prompt. I rely on you for don’t have gurus here being new.

    • Hi HI! No worries at all, I noticed that when you cut and paste the link it always starts with

      https://

      Delete the s from that and then click okay, Daily prompt will then pick up the link and it will show up, I had to look into people’s codings before I could figure it out, they aren’t the most helpful people in the blogsphere 😦

  252. Hi Andy! Question for you….any chance you would be open to me sending you some info on a blog/book tour type thing…this is aimed at bringing more readers to your blog or to your writing ( photography…whatever) projects.
    If you are open to it can you give me an email and I will send the info? It is pretty easy…take about as much time to do as the blog awards do. It is very similar to that.
    Anyway…let me know!
    Blessings!
    Christine

    • Oops ! so sorry Andy I checked up my notifications on phone and misunderstood your reply for above nomination but I could make out my mistake once I saw the thread here on this page. A typo error too I skipped ‘read’ in the above comment. Sorry for eating up so much of space on this lovely page.

  268. I was a single mom raising my daughter for 11 years, she is now 21 and out of the house. I did the best to raise her working three jobs for all those years. I am just now getting the forms together for my child support case, and hope to finally get my money due to me. Long road but well worth it. Great blog!!

    • I’m still learning so much on how to raise a 13 year old who turns 14 this year, Kudos on your great job raising your daughter! I hope you’ll get your child support money, dang. That just isn’t right when the man doesn’t pay what he’s supposed to. 😦

  296. I’m sure you’ve touched every persons’ heart who has watched the origin of your blog.
    This touched mine, too.
    Emptiness still remains this side and for which I’m here, teary eyed.
    She is so lucky. So are you.
    Hoping lifetime togetherness to both of you. ❤

      • Yuppers I have and no reply, seems everyone’s doing this lately no matter where you go to try to make some income, But it’s google that runs this so you’d think they’d know better eh?

      • It’s really scary with Google that they keep an eye on us as the they do. But what does WordPress say??? Also I have forgotten to ask you … about your “love-life” – still going strong???!!! *smile
