Who’s going to ignore a 749 words comment, especially if the effort is composed with the commenter’s assessment of this blogger and her blog posts?

When I saw Mr. Durano Lawayan’s comment in my, Me Got Talent post, I could not believe I finished reading the comment (lol! I don’t have patience in reading long post and comment, not unless they have story like the book that I am currently reading).

Seriously, the comment struck me. Although I know Mr. DL already (through another blogs comment box), he is a new reader of Manilenya. His 2 comments in this blog (and in all blogs that he is commenting) is outstanding. The last one, 749 words are absolutely needing a space for a real post, so I decided to publish it tonight and he, Mr. Durano Lawayan is my very first guest blogger.

Without further ado, I am giving you Mr. DL’s open letter to me.

I was talking to my daughter in YM last night and I can’t stop myself from my mirth.

Imagine that you have a 5 year old daughter sitting in front of you while you are doing your stuff in the computer. She nonchalantly pressing some letters on your keyboard and you definitely feeling messed up with whatever that stuff that you’re doing online.

Well, I was just chatting and maybe my then 5 year old daughter already felt that I was totally not paying attention to her. Given the smile that affixed to my face and a chuckle from time to time, she was certainly bored, but I was celebrating the joy of impenetrable conversation with other people online.

She had to retaliated. You know how the kids that age and below will wreck your amazing day. So I left her in front of the computer, I put the browser to Disney channel so that she will enjoy all the pictures and the shows that she usually loves to watch on TV.

I left the room and climb downstairs, I needed to block the annoying feeling that surfaced after she bothered me. I hadn’t left a minute yet when I heard her loud cry and when I returned, she was lamenting how the browser went so fast while she clicked some words with highlights. Of course, it opens to a new window. She was completely lost online.

Now she’s 11 and maybe spending time as much as I spend time online too. She started playing online games at the age of 7, torturing those other players when she has to linger in market places (I’m sure those playing online computer games know this) and bugged all players to add them to their team, later she already selling ammunition to all players, smart huh!

She taught me this online game where you will compete dancing with other players online (I forgot the game’s name but I became addicted to it when I visit home).

I asked her last night if what she was doing and I was surprised with her reply, “I am making my classmates profile. They said my profile page is so lovely and they want to have that lovely pages too. They paid me 10 every page.”For a mom who’s into blogging, of course I was speechless when I learned what she’s doing online. This is my life after work, and I do it for my friends for free while my daughter is earning a bit by doing that.

“You should learn the html codes”, I said.

“Html codes? I know that,” she pasted the html codes for a page with backgrounds, title and its font, the colors and more which was not done yet.

“But I want to make my own background, I already have the image here.”

“Oh you have to upload that in photo management and photo sharing application,send me the image and I will upload it in my flicker so that you’ll have your image link for your background.”

What will I do? She’s doing a good job and all I need to do is to help.
