ABCs of Me

Posted on Oct 25, 2007 by CHESSNOID in Uncategorized | 20 Comments

Andy of FiddyP tagged me with a meme. Sometimes these are fun, and other times they are hard because you really have to think. The rules for this meme are:

the rules
Each player starts with some random facts/habits about himself/herself. As you are tagged you need to post the rules and your responses on your own blog. At the end of your post, you need to choose some people to tag, list their names and, of course, leave them a comment, telling they have been tagged and they need to read your blog for more information.

Of course, I wanted to make this easy on myself and have modified the rules and take the easy Cheesy way out.

I have decided to post blogs I love to read or visit from A-Z.

A A Lil Sumptin Sumptin Eva’s blog is a wonderful read and has an incredible Etsy store. Her shop is assortment of designer eye candy with beautiful, elegant, and whimsical jewelry which includes many Dog Beads. See it and believe it!

B Black Tennis Pros Shania has a great tennis site which allows me to keep up with Venus, Serena, and James Blake.

C Corey has a great site covering her preparation for a marathon and running tips at seecoreyrun

D Diana’s Place Diana is a site I like to visit and hear about her personal experiences

E Emma Alvarez Emma is a digital artist who shares her digital images and her cultural curiosities, stories of history, music, cinema, art, nature

F FiddyP Andy, my British friend who hooked me up with his infamous commentluv plugin and tagged me with this meme apologetically.

G Gizmo This site is fun to check out and full of, well you know, gizmos

H The Homeless Guy I do enjoy reading his blog because it has great perspective and he is very sincere and honest about his situation

I Incredible writer Dana Wallert has a site that keeps me coming back to read more

J Joanne has a blog The Laidback Buddhist that I like to visit and helps me to get to know her and her Chinese heritage

K Keeyit A Malaysian blogger who shares insights and pictures of her country.

L Lynda Lehmann Lynda’s store site is full of wonderful personal works.

M Missylicious An online money making blog that shares both her good and bad experiences with sponsors

N Nick Bakewell has a site called Abstract promotion which gives good promotion tips

O OSoNY the Other Side of New York I really like the pictures she has taken of this city

P Paula Mooney I like reading her blog as it is full of diverse variety

Q If you want Questions about money answered go to Sabrina’s Money Matters

R RT is a blogger from my homeland the Philippines and gives great advice on his site Untwisted Vortex

S Shana Albert Shana has an assortment of blogs but I like to check out her Social Desire 2.0 site

T The Writer’s ManifestoI like reading her blog as she progresses in the writing world

U UrbnlivnThis is one of the sites I like to visit because it deals with condos in Seattle

V St Vincent’s Hospital My Australian friend Peter has a site with his personal experiences as a male nurse. He is another great writer.

W Web Urbanist Derami is always posting amazing pictures of different urban areas from all over the world. You can stay a long time looking at all his posts as it will easily hold your interest

X XXX an article called Writing Dirty by Skelliwag definitely inspired me to think about the layout of my blog as well as how I write to share.

Y YC is my Singapore friend and always giving great blogging advice on staying motivated and positive through his Internet Marketing Mind

Z Z blog Nice guy blogger from Barbados who is always happy to help out

Again this meme was suppose to let you know stuff about me from A-Z, and indirectly you have learned more about me by the sites I frequent. Some I like and some I love, but I do like support them all. There are about 250 more blogs I didn’t put in that I frequently visit, but I will save that for another time like when I update my All in One Blogroll.

I challenge you to check out all the links on this post (which will be time consuming because you will be compelled to read the posts of all these bloggers’ blogs or look at all the pictures on their sites), then come back here and tell me which ones you like the best and tell me why. I guarantee you will become regular readers on some of these blogs, just like me.

Hi Chessnoid,

Your link is very much appreciated. I spotted some new sites that I will check out and I can also vouch for some others here as I’m already a subscribed reader to them.

I’m a bit confused about the meme thing. What do I need to do now?

Cheers
Monika

CHESSNOID, October 26, 2007:

Hi Monika,
I didn’t actually follow with the meme completely. I was suppose to tag 3 more people and let them know they were tagged, but this was a longer meme theme and didn’t feel that it would have been fun for others to do. So instead I just did the meme myself and gave out link love. My catholic upbringing makes me feel guilty if I make people do stuff that they may not enjoy doing.
Cheers!
Emma Alvarez, October 27, 2007:

It’s so interesting to see where everyone takes this Meme. I think it was quite clever of you to turn it into a link love post the way you did.

I think this is my first time visiting your blog and I must say that I am very impressed by your blog’s design. You did a great job with it.
