Blog Archiving
In response to a tripartite meme from Jay of 'Dat'Money
The first of the triad is the birthday month meme which I did some 6 weeks ago.
The second is the '7 things' meme which I did a week prior to that.
I'm (thus) left with the third option in which I'm supposed to go through my archives and choose five favorite posts about my family, friends, myself, something I love and lastly, one of my choice.
So I browse through a hundred posts and after 2 full hours, I still can't come up with my selection. My blog has always been a personal assay and picking just 5 is an impossible task. Here then (in no particular order) are my top picks.
Disambiguated Seity because even at age 30, I still can't quite figure IT out.
Temporary Madness as I'm perpetually IN love.
An Ode To Snow White. Physical Beauty is so f***in' overrated!
Battle Scars. Believe it or not, I'm proud of ALL my scars, superficial or otherwise.
Dreamweaving because I (still) believe hope springs eternal.
Highly Evolved Defense Mechanisms. To some degree, aren't we all equipped???
Diabolical Idiosyncrasies because I believe in God-given free will.
Hyperspeed because I seriously think one could lose oneself in a notional world.
The Fine Art Of Conversation because I keep finding myself soliloquizing.
Mastering The Art Of Falling as it was written for a friend in denial about a very serious problem.
The Ultimate Secret To Happiness. Sorry to burst your bubble, there is none.
Hey Handsome. A birthday pressie for my main man.
A Skeleton Out Of My Closet. Probably the most personal piece I've written, not to mention the only one with 'tears' to match.
Shiver Me Timbers: Drastic Measures (Part 2) (in which I did the unthinkable!!!) as it was written to exorcise the ghost of an ex flame.
Turning Over A New Leaf as I'm so grateful to have had my blog 'adopted'. *Yay*
Denounging Suffrage which explains why I have denounced my right to vote and why I hate politicians.
Of Sex Scandals & Pinays. Seriously, in this day and age, do you still think that the world is flat, or were you born yesterday?!!!
Holiday Anathema because I hate spoiled brats!
Conservation 101 For Dumdums. Sedira is beautiful. Call her otherwise and I'd kick you right smack in the balls!!!!
My wakeboarding posts because I'd wakeboard everyday if I could!!!
And my Pinoy posts...............
Super Tsuper: An Overview of Filipino Public Ultility Drivers because you just have to live with them! *Grrrrrrr*
The Sub Genuses Of Filipino Traffic Violators Este Drivers. Pardon the a**holes.
Pinoy Daredevils. Yet another pet peeve.
My Shungak Awards. They deserve the honor...........
Only In The Philippines, Filipino 'SIGNS' Of Wit. Filipnos are quite inventive.
Only In The Philippines, Mga Pamahiing Filipino. Filipinos are just plain superstitious.
Pinoy Folk Illnesses. Not only are we superstitious..........
The Philippines Through The Eyes Of A Filipina. I'm (still) downright proud to be Filipino!
Filipinos: The Good, The Bad, & The Chaka. Duh???
In turn, I tag
J.D. of The Uneasy Supplicant, like I said, I love your take on memes.
Joel of My Journal
Josey of Stayin' Silly, Livin' Lucky to help keep her mind off her 'mind vs. taste buds' battle ;) Annita of Footprints
Iron Pugilist of The Road To Madness
Pusa of Pusang Maganda
CC of Bamboo Blitz
Nessa of Mumblings

Hello Ivy,
THANKS for the tag. Unfortunately I couldn't do it all.
I hope you got my private message that I left in your BlogCatalog.
I came by today to bid a farewell to you. It's unbelievably hard for me to leave here especially after having met intelligent and humble people in this blogosphere ** you're definitely one of them *** ^_^
I'm definitely going to delete all my accounts in BlogCatalog, MyBlogLog etc within this week. But I don't close the door to blogging forever. Who knows one day in the future, I would enter the same door again. ^_^
God bless you and your loved ones. May the goodness of heaven be over-flowing in your life ^_^
Take care there, my friend.
Hugssss,
Annita.
Ivy, I just saw your message on my BlogCatalog ..
Oh Ivy, I wish I could tell you .. I hate this valley .. I wish I could just run and escape
When I was young, my parents sometimes reminded me that life can be unfair to us. But I kept on dwelling on my idealism.
I need the time to find my old me. It's not easy to gather up all those broken dreams and - hopes. I'm re-learning again my own walk w/ my God.
You have fires in your writings ^_^ keep up the good works, my friend. I've learned so much from you about the arts of writings ^_^
Who knows I would enter the same door that I took as the exit oneday .
I'll surely stop by at your 'nest' once a while.
I hope you don't mind if I give you another hug.
Thank you for the friendship, dear friend.
~ Annita
ps. I'm SO SAD to do this adieu.
Lol... you didn't HAVE to do all three lol...

Hi Ivy
Well what can I say? Again? :-)
You read my comment at blog catalog :-)
I took the time this morning to go through all your posts. All of them.
Wonderful. Absolutely well written. My fav has always been "A Skeleton Out Of My Closet." You should strongly consider taking up writing as a career.
I promise you I'll get to this as soon as I can. Because it's you.
I do hope you and your family have a wonderful week my dear friend.

I'm always surprized of dedication you make these "tasks". But it was a great thing to review own blog and to repass this period of life,mmm? I like your "reportages" with many photos. Like to see the photo-descriptions of lives in other places.
hehehe, buti nalang hindi mo ako tinag, kundi hidi pa ako tapos hanggang ngayon :).
howdy na kabesyo at kaluho. sorry dear kong hindi ako napadalaw dito ng matagal. alam mo naman ang career mama, pati isang sentimo eh kinakarer din :) mabili lang ang luho.
i hope you had a wonderful yuletide season behind you.
hugss!
Wow. Hardcore pinay :)
