Hi Z,
I would like to make a correction Z, I’m not the most popular , but the blog is in the top 10 with the help of religious droppers, like you. I don’t want readers to be misled. lol.. thanks and God bless.
Okay, I wont argue back… hehehe.
Yup, readers, JenaIsle is right, her blog is one of the most popular right now. And I’m sure glad to call this blogger my virtual friend in this blogosphere.

Hi Zorlone,
I apologize for not visiting in a while. Family, home, work, and continuing education on-line courses have gotten in a way of my blogging life.
Anyhoo, just want to let you know that I’ve gone to Lainy’s a week or so ago to vote for you. I heard that there’s a monetary prize, so, I hope you’ll win.
Wow! You’ve done it again at The Woof Contest. Congratulations! I agree with Jena, you’re going places with your writing talent.
I’m off to read your other posts now.
Tasha
Congratulations!
again, you top the contest!
just like what Jena, you’re really going places Z!
throw us a rope so we can catch up LOL
Congratulations again!
Congratz on the win btw…I was excited to have won myself! I think this whole reposting this is going to kinda get in the way of my blog, as it doesn’t flow right, but I will have to find a way to make it work. Good job btw, and good luck this week
Hey, good show!
Hello Tasha,
All those extracurricular activities are harmful to your blogging life. Just kidding. I hope our campaign efforts pay off.
At the WOOF, it was the fellow contestants who vote for each other. I am so lucky that other bloggers/writers vote for my poem. My gratitude to them and to my readers like you who always takes time to comment on my posts. It really means a lot to me.
@Roy,
Thanks man, beginner’s luck?
@Izzy,
Yeah, I think you can go around it. I have seen a WOOF contestant who reposts the WOOF entries on her side bar. I don’t know if that would work for you.
@ Susan,
Thanks for dropping in again.

Hi Z,
Tama ka pala. No.1 nga ang blog for now. Thanks.
Jena,
I told you so! LOL
Z
congrats doc!
You really are a great writer. No doubts about it.
@tiffany,
Thanks!
@Madz,
I am thankful to the other writers who think my poems deserve to have a place in the top five. As for writing, I still need a lot of practice and inspiration! I sometimes feel like my muse was kidnapped and I have to ransom her from somewhere. LOL
