blog surfing

This is what happens when you have nothing to do. When you finished answering surveys and meaningless quizzes. When you've read everything posted on the bulletin and message boards (in the office and on friendster). When you finish the routine of reading your close friends' blogs and get disappointed when you find that they haven't updated it for the day (im guilty of that too. Sorry!) When you've played all the 'legal' games on your computer.....

I ended up blog surfing.

To think i didnt start with a friend's blog to start surfing.

I started surfing thru this guy's blog who randomly happened to be a pinoy cartoonist.
He had links to other bloggers; in which, of course i checked out. Some bloggers caught my attention; some didnt.

Those who did catch my attention apparently had links too. You can guess what happened next. I ended up spending 5 or more hours surfing on blogs. Reading about things that go on in their life, Checking out their artistry on their blogs converted into websites. totally changing the face of the standard blog that we're used to.

I haven't met them, but after reading their blogs, i feel like i already know those people.

More interesting is when i stumbled upon celebrities' blogs.
Some celebrities' entries didnt exactly interest me, coz its was so....common (if you know what i mean).
One caught my attention though.

Jim Paredes' blog entries.

No wonder this guy has books of his own, writing workshops to conduct and classes to teach.
I admired him before as a singer, an entertainer.
But now, I admire him on a different level.
I admire him for his person, his passion, his family, his thoughts and wisdom.

Long live Jim!
May you continue sharing your thoughts, wisdom and talents to others.
You're a unique individual who embodies what a true person you truly are ( not just because you are a celebrity).
I believe that God is spreading his love through you.
