Good friends are hard to find. Good friends from online are even harder to find. But then by some beautifully weird stroke of fate, your paths are criss-crossed and genuine friendships are formed. In the beginning, you are merely known for your online personas. Then you begin to trust in each other and become friends. Friends turn to good friends turn to great friends. And then you become family.
To my online family, Blogkadahan, lots of hugs and kisses! I love you!
Last night brought together a few members of this family — the effervescent Tito Rolly, endearing Karla, gwapong-gwapong Batjay, his beautifully glowing wife Jet and little me. Over dinner and coffee, we cracked jokes, exchanged stories and shared hearty laughter. In between stories of course, we just HAD to get the famous Batjay’s autograph on our Kwentong Tambay books.
It was a fun family night. Sa uulitin! At sa ibang kapamilya, sama kayo next time. 😀

Hi! I'm Toni Tiu,
and I've been blogging at
at Wifely Steps since 2003. This started as a blog to help newly weds adjust to married life. It has evolved into a home and parenting blog. I write about things close to my heart -- good eats, good reads, family, marriage, and the little things that make everyday happy.

December 20, 2006 at 8:51 am (17 years ago)Kakatuwa naman. My online buddies are mostly Mom’s or older women in the US. I don’t know why but we click. Maybe because I have an old soul or I found the older sister that I’ve been wanting in them.
A reunion is impossible though. Parcels ever na lang kami.
