The Symphony Called Amity.....

Nanka Quills. No, no, no, no, no! I mean she owns Quills, the name of her blog. Cute isn’t it? The first time we met, it was over Leo’s place… J We were like the prim and proper teenage girls who could only write fine-tuned comments. Then later on, we got to know each other better (through FB) and then we started commenting each other’s blog with *evil laughs, evil grins*… ha ha ha…We are like the perfect partners in crime. In short, we clicked in so short a time since we met each other….like soulmates na… :D 

The moment of ‘no-holds barred’ came soon. Then she started to offer her home, making her door wide open for me to barge in anytime I want to....:D However, I should have done that even during their Diwali celebration. It’s too bad I am not a millionaire so that anytime  I can gate-crash her party… he he he… :D I guess, I need to start saving money for that matter na… :D And don't forget to prepare that superlicious gooeeeeyyyyy cake of yours....:D

This is too much of an intro Nanka, I have said so much na about our ‘relationship’…ha ha ha… I guess it’s your time now to quill……*evil laughs*….. :D….. peace!!! Btw, why did u divulge our top secret, 'my real name'? Hopefully our readers will have memory lapse for the time being... :D

My friends, please welcome my very own Indian friend from Mumbai, Nanka of QuillsJ

AMITY

A
Great
Caring
Friend of mine
Has reached a milestone
Very original posts she writes
Her dreams become reality, conquers obstacles
Successful trend in career
Kind helpful nature
Charming grace
Goodness
Fills
Her


I was delighted to be invited by Venelyn more popularly known as Amity by the blogging world, to do a guest post on her reaching a milestone, her 2nd anniversary in blogging. A beautiful mother of three children, she hails from Phillipines. A truly international Blogger she is followed by a large number of people from all over the world. It is to her credit that she has endeared herself to all age groups and is perfectly at ease with each and every one of them. 

Every morning I am pleasantly welcomed by Amity's cheerful "Good Morning!!" and never has she failed to leave a comment on anyone's write. Her rich vocabulary and eloquent words are a sheer delight. Her art of using the English language with fluency and aptness is a pleasurable experience whilst reading. I must add here that she has mastered every form of writing, be it prose or poetry. Her gentleness and quiet nature is very evident from the photographs she puts up of herself and her country, from time to time. Always her camera captures serene sceneries or radiant and colorful rare flowers, as dear as herself. She is a serious writer always highlighting a cause and standing up for it. I must include here that Venelyn also has the finer touch of humor which she reveals in her posts as well as in her comments back.

When there are days you know you have not done a perfectly good write, when that zing is missing, there is always someone who shows up, and the first one is usually Amity, my good dependable friend, who finds the intended communication which was not directly expressed. It is such a pleasure to read her comments.


When a message is sent from a distance, you cannot see the face,
You cannot see the Smiles,
But you can sense the care that truly comes from the heart.

We may walk on different paths of life but no matter where we are or go, we will take a little of each other everywhere..

From The Netherlands with LOVE!!!

A Few Tidbits About Dear Anya: She is from the beautiful tulips country, The Netherlands. She has been my blogger-pal for almost a year now. Though she seldom writes lately in her blog Kareltje N' Ikke, as she's still in the stage of recuperating from a very sad loss of her beloved hubby a couple of months back...I am so happy that she's trying to get back on her feet now and would like snowballing with me already...Cheers Anya, I admire that strength in you and your positive outlook in life. Remember, the symphony will continue to play happy tunes as there are still few strings left in your beautiful violin and they are your lovely daughters...:-) and of course your cuddly Kareltje... :D....I love you Anya and hugs to Kareltje... :-)))) Now take the baton and let the orchestra start playing.... :-)

Amity...A BAT* Pal~




A Little Introduction: Vee of Psyche's Visage had kindly accepted my invitation that he will do a guest post in celebration of my 2nd year Blogoversary, come the 28th of the month and will be joining others who wholeheartedly accepted my request. I have known Vee through Blog-a-Ton, 12th Edition which won for him a Silver.

Now Vee, take it away.... :-)

~*~*~*~
I've known Amity ever since I got back from my year long hiatus from the blogger world. And, for someone like me who goes through frequent mood swings and much more frequent writers blocks, she has been a constant inspiration and motivation. With this motivation I write my first Acrostic on the person through whose words my eyes have seen places, my mind learned of things and my heart underwent lots of emotions -

Acrostic or Narrative
Magical your words are
Indelible their impression is
To my blogger pal
You are an inspiration!

E for My Early End of the Z-A Challenge

Thank You Very Much

To my blogging friend Leo
Thank you so very much...
But sad to say I am also sorry 
that I have to end this early
the Z-A Challenge of yours
coz' several blogging buddies
will be around to celebrate with me
in my 2nd year blog anniversary
starting tomorrow early
and that even includes you
come the 29th is your due.


So here's an early toss to success of your Z-A Challenge in 26 Days!!!



        
It started on the first day
On a cool, rainy day of November
Leo's Z to A Challenge in 26 Days
Where I gladly participated
Though I missed some days!

   


Thanks for the Catch-Up Sunday
I worked on letters I missed from 3rd Day
W, K, I with haiku treats
Some few loved most the Kiss!



   

I would surmise its the best challenge
That I had ever experienced
In this interesting blog world
Where everyone writes, young and old.


    



It pains me to end it early
But I can't do much truly
The celebration of my blog anniversary
Has to be done simultaneously.


Let me thank you for the opportunity then
For inviting me to join this Z-A Challenge
It's an accomplishment I can be proud of
And can look back someday soon
When I will already be gray and old....


This challenge made me crazy
I'd wake up in the middle of night
Thinking what to write for the next day
Afraid to be late for my post to be up
As everyone seems to have done early enough!


At this juncture let me introduce my dear readers
Some few dear and nice blogging friends 
who will be guest posting in my blogoversary
It will start with Vee of Psyche's Visage
Followed by Anya of Kareltje N' Ikke
Then Nanka of Quills will grace the Day
And Leo of I Rhyme Without Reason will follow suit
To be finally ended by Someone Is Special of Few Miles!


Happy reading to one and all!!!
