I basically use Google way back in high school to search data for my home works and projects. Of course, there's also Yahoo, ask jeeves, and not so long ago the Wikipedia among other search engines.
Back in college, these search engines also helped me find information I needed that helped me got my diploma (if you live in a third world country and lacks the access to comprehensive libraries, search engines can be very reliable). Now that those academic requirements are finally (yey!) history, it has been a habit during idle times on the net for me to Google people I personally know (sorry guys for stalking) and even search for entries about myself. It's easy, type in your name on the search box and hit "search" and have fun with all those weird results about people you know and even yourself.
Well you have to know for a fact that my name has a special character on it (ñ) and the results sometimes are funnier than what I expect. But I guess that's just understandable if you also know for a fact that there are more than six billion people on this planet and for your name to be permutated is not really a rarity.
Now this morning as I was again in the mood to spy on my friend's new googleable entries, I suddenly had this urge to give myself a little narcissistic pleasure and hit enter as I typed in the words in the search box the title of my blog, Anino's Tale. To my surprise, the first entry actually directs me to my exact blog and on top of that, the result was:
Top 50 Blogs under essays - NetworkedBlogs.com

Wow that was something I never expected. I opened the link and was directed to this Networked blog, a facebook application that allows you to share, promote, and announce your blogs to your friends and networks. Anino's tale with its old URL http://ngvalencia.blogspot.com is on top 22 with eight followers, five of them I totally have no connections about. I am just so surprised people are finally noticing my entries which I began to give my thoughts some therapy and exercise. I also started blogging to free my ideas no matter how badly I wrote them up. (Note: I recently updated my URL to http://onceupon1985.blogspot.com to give it a little "spunk" and some facelifts).
To those who follow me, thank you, thank you for visiting my site. For:
1. Gerald Celente of Bridgeford/Stamfod CT who follows 195 blogs, thank you for keeping me on that list. =)
2. For Lindsey Williams, who is a pastor and an economist who care for the "pipeliners", thank you.
3. Dada Veloso, with her interesting and inspiring entries.. thank you for keeping me one of the 10 blogs you follow on facebook.
4. Thanks Jesse Mathewson, an Atheist from Tuczon Arizona. I have to say I got a handful of atheist, pagan, Wiccan, and agnostic friends.
5. Makar Bdr Sarki, who doesn't have any blogs but follows 59. Welcome to the blog world Makar!
And of course, to the people I know and have kept me inspired to write..
6. Coreen Angelica Chan, my dear Coreen.. it has been almost a year now since our film, Kolorete…
It feels just like yesterday, isn't it?
7. My dear sister, Jasmin Valencia. Hey sis! You ought to start blogging now, you got a heck of an adventure there in NJ!
8. And of course, my beloved buffer, Annabs.. the true writer. We shall go on our hikikomori quest soon.
^_^
I'm really, really touched from the bottom of my heart.
Thank you with all my blogs,
Anino =)
