Blogging has become so popular among internet users now that it seems like being an internet user equates to being a blogger. Ask your friends, they have their own blogs which may discuss topics from food and restos, travel and adventure, photo sharing, rants and raves, so on and so forth.
In her June entry http://www.dessertcomesfirst.com/?p=567, Lori, my ultimate favorite blogger, tells of how she has been worn out of all the blogging to the point that she does not enjoy life experiences anymore.
I know some people who live-to-blog and I am quite bothered by it. I once would have fallen into this trap- that is to say that I would spend an entire day thinking of topics to blog about and stress myself to write an entry at least once each week.
For me, blogging is an expression. You should write only when you feel like writing. It should not take over your life. You must enjoy experiences as it is and when you can not contain these experiences or thoughts within, that is when you blog about it.
Some people for instance make it a point to critic the food they eat at restos just to give a review. This is so wrong because instead of enjoying it, you would not be able to because you are focused somewhere else.
Makes sense?

What My Name Means
I do not believe that typing your name on a site called whatsyournameshiddenmeaning will tell what you are as a person. But I try it nonetheless. Besides, it does not promise to tell you who you are. Just what your name means. So here is what I got.
***What Joyce Means***
You are fair, honest, and logical. You are a natural leader, and people respect you.You never give up, and you will succeed... even if it takes you a hundred tries.You are rational enough to see every part of a problem. You are great at giving other people advice.
You are well rounded, with a complete perspective on life.You are solid and dependable. You are loyal, and people can count on you.At times, you can be a bit too serious. You tend to put too much pressure on yourself.
You are a free spirit, and you resent anyone who tries to fence you in.You are unpredictable, adventurous, and always a little surprising.You may miss out by not settling down, but you're too busy having fun to care.
You are very open. You communicate well, and you connect with other people easily.You are a naturally creative person. Ideas just flow from your mind.A true chameleon, you are many things at different points in your life. You are very adaptable.
You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone.You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together.At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together.
What's Your Name's Hidden Meaning?

Funny I got a very similar result with my sister. Do not know how they generate the meaning (based on letters of your name?) but they probably get random phrases/sentences from a pool of answers they have. Surprisingly, I can say most of the things mentioned above is true for me.
Try yours just for fun.

A Warning to Guys
Do not ever show the girl the wrong signs.
Do not act like her boyfriend when you are just friends. Because if you continue doing that, for the girl, you are not just friends. A girl can pretend it is nothing, play your game like everything is cool and casual between you two. But what the guy never knows and never feels is that inside, the girl is falling -truly, madly, and deeply.
Do not make her feel extra special and do not give her all the time and attention if it is just nothing or if you are still confused with what you feel. The girl is not confused. It is pretty clear that she goes out with you because she likes you.
Even if there are no expectations, it is your fault if a girl falls for you and if you "unintentionally" hurt her with your actions. Do not blame it on us guys. Blame it on yourself why each and every girl in the world for once in her life cried over your population.
If you are insensitive, girls are the opposite. Do not play with our hearts because it is easy for you to move on. It is hard for us and takes months or years even. Do not make promises you can not keep. We know promises are meant to be broken. But every time a promise is made, anyone can not help but hope that the promise is kept.
We love you boys. But be a man.

And a Happy New Year...
Happy new year to all!! I had a good night's rest despite the loud but amazing fireworks display which welcomed the new year. I slept early but managed to catch the exhibition near us. It was grand.
This morning, I woke up early to a cool and beautiful weather. The sky is blue- wow. And the quiet is relaxing. It looks like a beautiful day ushering another wonderful year. :) Looking good.
