   A Random Thought
I've been here in MyO for a while, and while Mask has finished his 3 Freakin' Years, I have been thinking back on my history here as well.

It wasn't a very colorful one for me. I saw the announcement in TheOtaku which I have been visiting for a while. One thing caught my attention - get your names reserved...

Yup, I joined first just to be able to use my nickname, and not be beaten to it. I also joined to be able to submit fan arts in the future when I am able to buy my own scanner... which up to now I still don't have... hehehe...

I really wasn't into blogging. I first used the blog feature of the site to post quizes that I took. Previous visitors of my site would remember that my old posts were mostly quizes from TheO guru.

Then something happened... The Quiz Manager was born, as well as the reorganization of the Guru. I lost my quiz results, plus I used the Quiz Manager. I noticed something, too. You don't get a credit for updating just by posting a quiz in the quiz manager. So goes my long "hibernation" in this site.

I remember at first I was so bored with this site. Since I couldn't submit any fan art, I saw no use for it except as a way to post quizes.

Then another thing happened...I went around the member list and something really strange caught my eye. A user name that tickled my curiosity. The name- lechon de leche. It's a kind of food, if you don't know. Anyway, I visited the site and found out that the user was Filipino... yup, pinoy just like me. So I posted my very first
Guestbook entry to other users. I got a reply via my guestbook with some tips such as enabling comments on the posts and also a list of other pinoy users which I also visited. One of them is my best Otaku buddy, the Mask!

During those times, I really was not interested in blogging... It looks like an online diary/journal to me. I don't write those stuff, probably because I'm too lazy writing long stuff with my barely legible handwriting, hehehehe...

The main thing that got me interested in posting are the comments. It lets me know that there are people out there who actually read my work. It's fun to see that there are comments written on your posts, right? This I have to thank Mask for always dropping by and never failing to post a comment, be it related or not, or something.

He got me interested more in doing this stuff.

Hmm... a long post... Anyway, that's my own trip down MyO memory lane.

Well, that's that.
