I'm a 20SB, but expiring...

I'm a 20 something blogger like most of you, but expiring. Yes, yes... few more months, 1 more new year fireworks and soon after that I won't be a 20 something blogger anymore. Kind of sad, don't you think? Can I still pose as one of you? I mean, you guys are so awsome. The purpose of this post is to thank you all my bloggy friends (as the Demigoddess would name our breed). So I really really wanna thank all of you, who come here recently in larger numbers than I expected.

Thank you.谢谢. Terima kasih. Salamat po. 고마워.

I won't name here all of you, in fear of forgetting someone, but most of you are on my blogroll, most of you follow me on Twitter, Facebook, some even chat with me on MSN. You guys are the best. I have to say it was quite a tough year for me (death in the family, a break up...). It was a year of many changes, mostly negative. But that's slowly changing for the better. Some days I feel like numb, like I don't have the energy to live. But then one of you dear new friends writes something funny or interesting and it makes my day. I am fully aware that we are not (yet) friends in the real world, but I am most confident that we could be. And who knows, maybe we will be one day. I already met one of you this year, Hwan from Korea, who was my Facebook and MSN friend for nearly 2 years and happened to travel thru my small country recently. I had a great time with him and his friends. And I am sure I could have a fun time with some of you, if one day we happen to be somewhere around the same place at the same time. I know that many of you are relatively far from me, most likely from Britain, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Philippines and Korea and I don't know if I will really travel to all these places, but we never know, do we?
My thoughts came after reading some of your blogs lately and seeing how close some of you've become. I think blogging does connect people. Because all of us feel compelled to say something, share a piece of ourselves with the world, sometimes maybe too much. But I think we never share everything. And that's great. It's the things we don't say that make us who we are.
I have to say I really learned a lot from you guys, as most of you are very accomplished bloggers (and people). It really helped me many times when I needed comfort, advice or a different perspective on things. But sometimes I just need a dose of humour and you guys really provide the best there is. So, while I'm looking forward how you further decompose every aspect of the lives you live to learn more about humankind and its vulnerabilities, I am also anticipating funny stories, full of irony and wit to crack me up in the morning while I'm sipping my coffee. [Sure, if Nashe and Angel would post every day, I could just read their blogs for the crack-ups, but since they don't, the rest has to take over for them from time to time ;-)]
So this is now the final installment of the I love women series :P The next time you hear from me, it has to be something totally unexpected. [No, not a leaked sex-tape, you perv!] I mean something bold, something thought-provoking, something that will change all of your lives forever!!! Ah, I'm just kidding. Expect the usual. And thanks again :)

What is your take on bloggy friends and online friendships shmenships? Have you been blessed with many new friends? Did you experience any disappointments? I'm looking forward to hear from you.
