Let me take this opportunity to introduce a new blogger who is my bestfriend in real-life. Of course, I was the one who had egged him to blog.
Introducing “The Soul Shiek” as Tony R wants himself to be referred to in the netsphere and I am pretty glad that he is slowly and gradually finding the essence and wisdom of blogging, like I did about four years ago, when I started blogging.
By this time, I am a bit amazed of how he could be a very good blogger. The potential is there and the writing style has a distinct finesse to it that if The Soul Sheik decides to become a full-pledged blogger, he’d be a very good one.
Check out his site and read the very deep, insightful and thought-provoking “Welcome to the desert…” post and “Ember”, a very lyrical poem of love, lost and longing.
Note: By the way, I was the one who also did his template design necessities that I was able to put into his site the links that I had in my own blog. I hope the links---without prior permission---wouldn’t be such a major caused for concern for those who are linked in the new site “The Soul Sheik”. Please inform me if it'd ever be a concern. 
Wow another talented blogger, welcome to the blog sphere Mr. Soul Shiek ! At first I thought that I don't have anything to blog about me, my life but when I started to express my thoughts I find the pleasure in writing and it's even addicting. I am sure you will enjoy and am interested to know about your thoughts, experiences and opinions in everything! Will link Mr. Soul Shiek too, good luck !

To prinsesamusang: Nothing more creative and imbibing than blogging---where expression of thoughts and mind is boundless and limitless.

so, you were the one who introduced him to blogging. am lucky to be one of his first reads--he even made out a poem for my grandson, who is now in heaven.
and yes, he writes--from the heart.

Yes and I read that beautiful poem. He used to write lots of poems back in college but he just lost all of them Unlike mine, I kept most them till now.
