    • Thank you for welcoming me Ms. Michnavs… and for the “follow” and “likes” as well. I’m a newbie here at WP, and not really good in putting up words, so I rarely comment.

      I just happen to saw [stalk? 🙂 ] ur online conversation with a fellow Pinoy blogger. You’re a Filipina right?

      • Whew, so tagalog naman pala. Akala ko mapapalaban na naman ako ng English eh 🙂

        Joke lang, but as i’ve said, I rarely comment… Newbie lang ako sa blogging. I actually created my WP website para magkaroon lang ng online portfolio.

        Btw… Salamat sa good comment about my worx! Naumpisahan ko na ring basahin yung ibang poems mo, and I think mawiwili akong i-stalk yung site mo Ms Michnavs 🙂

  1. I just saw you liked a comment on someone elses blog (dtills) and saw that your blog was probably related to architecture so I decided to join it because architecture is the from of art that I know the less and I so love it!!I imagine you do too! Made a few post about architecutre on Loud Alien Noize, one about Gaudi and Art Nouveau, one about brutalism, one about UFO/Futuristic houses and probably more that just fon’t pop into my mind right now so I’m very happy to have found your blog and will check out your stuff man!! I just wanted to tell you that it’s pretty impressive!! Could you tell me what is your perosnal favorite post? I know I have a few post tht are my fav on my blog, just wondering if you do too and if you do welll which ones? I hope I’m not bothering you I just don’t know a lot about architecture and I wanna know from someone who knows it really well what’s the best thing he posted. Have a wonderful day and kudos for all these wonderful things you have accomplished. You are obviously a very dedicated guy who loves his ”job”. Once again, you are amazingly talented!

    • Wow Sir! I don’t know how to thank you enough for all those nice things you said about me.

      I’m a licensed architect, who happens to love doing other artworks as a hobby, that eventually became my day job.

      I am fortunate that I get to do both as an Architect and a Cartoonist in the company that I’m presently employed.

      However, I still consider myself a student, both in architecture designs and in doing other art mediums as well.

      Being a newbie here @ WordPress, I’m very happy to say that I’ve already met many wonderful bloggers, like you Sir, whose compliments are a constant source of inspiration. For that, Thanks very much 🙂

    • By the way, with regards to my favorite personal posts, I’m just posting random artworks [1 post per day] starting from old artworks to my latest.

      And I have a lot of favorite WordPress sites and bloggers, but if I have to mention one, It has to be LightningEllen’s Release. I love videogames, and there’s something in the way she writes that always put a smile to my face 🙂
