a new neighbor

after suffering a couple of virus attacks last year (one wiped out most of my files including some treasured photos and irreplaceable files na unfortunately ay wala akong back-up - now i'm using exernal hds, lesson learned!), i've limited my web surfing to familiar and trusted sites.  hindi rin kasi 100% guarantee kahit pa updated ang anti-virus mo, aatakehin ka pa rin pag minalas ka.  in fact i've already did the rounds of the more popular and supposedly reliable anti-virus software pero ayon at dalawang beses pa ring nag-crash ang comp ko last year.  kaya ngayon, di na ako ganon ka-adventurous sa kaka-explore ng mga sites.

in fact, kung na-notice ninyo, very seldom akong mag-share ng website in this blog na hindi galing sa mga news channel, youtube and a few other sites na subok ko nang safe.  but this time i'm sharing one blog na lately ko lang napuntahan (thanks to raoul aka seven na unang nakapunta dito at nag-tip sa akin).  and i thought i'd share it with DS followers coz it's also worth the time.  for two good reasons...

1.  i find the blog quite refreshing.  the sense of humor of the site owner is so obvious, napatawa (or should i say na-LOL) ako sa ilang nabasa ko. in fact, naisip ko nga parang masyadong serious ang tone nitong DS and my friends also deserve to have a dose of something light and funny once in a while.  sure i have a few posts na nakakatawa din, nag-e-effort din ako paminsan-minsan mag-comedy.  but i know my sense of humor is a bit dry and worse, ascerbic.  that's why i think this blog would be a very good alternative for DS friends who's aching for a few smiles on a gloomy day.  

2.  i said the site is refreshing but it sure has some serious stuff as well.  twice ko pa lang nai-scan yong site and yet may nakita na akong ilang seryosong posts.  real-life snippets of what's going on in the very challenging life of a young, working mom.  touching  stories about family.  at kahit hindi ko pa nababasa ang ibang posts, my impression is that the author has already suffered from some huge tsunamis of emotion pagdating sa usapang love.  kaya kahit bata pa sya (26 or 27?)  may lalim na ang kanyang mga sinasabi.

the site owner is a recent friend of DS.  kelan lang sya nagawi dito and yet naging regular na sya since then.  and i think i'd return the complement kasi babalik-balikan ko rin ang blog nya.  and i'd love to see you my friends sa bago nating kapitbahay.... si Yanah and her life's a twitch blogspot.
