Thanks for visiting my blog! I’m looking forward to reading more of your stories – fascinating.
It was inspiring to stop by your blog. Thank you also for taking the time to read my stories.
Hi Ate Jof!!!
I was very happy you to find you here at WP… 🙂
Follow kita ha? 🙂
Had a great time reading your posts….very very Jofelyn hihihi
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. It’s a pleasure to reconnect through wp and have a glimpse of each other’s thoughts after all this years. You’re a grown woman now and as with my sister I can’t fully grasp it. Still thought of you guys as the young girls you were. Love your thoughts and the woman you have become. You rock sister. 🙂
I love the fact you do your own illustrations as well; multi-talented, you are very lucky!
Thank you. Both are good mediums for telling stories. Thanks for stopping by. I had a toy elephant when I was a kid which I loved. I just had to read your story. I think Elly is adorable. I am also an avid reader of children’s book. Those can really be amazing reads. Plus it’s illustrated. 🙂
Hello! Thanks for stopping by my blog! I’m glad you liked my post. You have some lively stories around here.
Pleasure was mine. Thank you for passing by also. It was amusing to read about you writing a story about not being able to write story which turned into a story itself.
I think there is a lot to learn and read here on your blog…
I myself was trying to write a story…but my mind runs on many tracks so mostly I fail…
or I convert them to poems when I fail to move forward…
Thank you. Poems are also a beautiful way to tell a story, as yours are. I myself don’t have the rythm to write poems that’s why most of my works are in prose.
Thank you for visiting and liking my blog. I like how your blog’s layout matches your storytelling style. Continue writing and God bless! 🙂
Thank you. I chose the layout which have few distractions and clutter so the reader can concentrate on the story only. I am also waiting for more stories from you.
Thanks for following my blog! You blog is wonderful! If ever I get the energy of animating or illustrating, is it alright if I do so? I’m going to hang around a bit and look for that one story that would inspire me to move and draw 🙂
Thank you dear! You must! Nothing feels so gratifying as doing something creative. Browse, browse. I hope you’ll find something you like! 🙂
what a talent! enjoyed reading your posts 🙂 nice illustrations..

You are already a master story teller. I wish you to rise to bigger heights.
Thank you sir. I really appreciate that, 🙂
It looks like you are clearly multi-talented. If I could do illustrations, or artwork of any kind, I would probably be writing children’s books. Have you ever thought of that?
Thank you. 🙂 I would want to write and illustrate a children’s book. I have a special fondness for children’s book. But I am not sure this is the path I want to take with my writing. 🙂
You’ll figure it all out, I’m sure. There’s so much to do and so little time. . . 🙂
Your blog looks so interesting, I’m definitely going to have a look around!! Beautiful art work, and the way you’ve written even this post, I can tell you’re a born writer!
That is a lovely compliment. You’ve made me smile and filled my heart with warmth .Thank you. 🙂

Love your work. I’m also from oDesk and saw your forum post there. Can you let me know how much you charge for illustrating a children’s book. I’m writing my first one now and I’m thinking of having you illustrate it before I submit it to publishing houses. Email me please. I’ll hire you in oDesk when we finalize things. T!hanks
