Guess WHO!?


That cane, that full black suit and shiny black shoes...

Doesn't all that looks familiar? :)

No... He's not attending a ball or asking me for a dance...

We are just having a meet up, and the gentleman who happened to be with me was Seeker Gray.


Yes, The Seeker Gray that created secondseeker.com, together with Sherpa Voyager, a site that reviews places, people, events, almost anything under the sun and moon in SL.

How did we end up meeting each other? Ah.... *Joeru is now taking out her grandmom's style glasses, sitting down on the rocking chair with a nice cushion behind her back, a hot cup of coffee in her hands... and the story goes like this...*

One fine day, I received an email from Seeker, an email which took me quite a while to understand the whole message. You see, the paragraphing of the email looks like a 2-way conversations and I couldn't figure out which is which. After pacing up and down the stairs of my home, Smart ass me replied with what I think was the content all about. Haahaaa... Well... evidently, I wasn't too far off.

A very refined gentleman Seeker is and I was rather shy, though trying to keep my calm as much as I can concealed. In the email, it seems that Seeker has been to my blog, love what I am doing and intend to invite me to join secondseeker, covering the Live Music Events and that's exactly what it was, confirmed face to face by Seeker (see, told you I wasn't far off).

I went on mentioning that the initial email did got me confused for a while (a long while), based on the layout of it and the story unfolds right here, right now.

That email was copied off from a comment in slashdot site - a technology news site on Linux and Open Source Issues, or normally known as a geek site. (I LOVE GEEKS!) There was an article written about Second Life on the whole, discussing why people are hook to it and what people can do in Second Life. Seeker commented in that article, introducing secondseeker to people to let them kick-start some of the places that was recommended. An anonymous replied Seeker's comment, suggested secondseeker to cover Live Music in SL, dropped a few names and guess what... the anonymous pasted a link to MY blog! *Joeru is trying to catch her breath now*

Naturally, Seeker thought that this anonymous person was me, went thru my site and that was how we arranged the meet up. My mind was racing thru the list of friends I have, narrowing down the geeks and trying to figure out who wrote that. Haahaa... Seeker and I just sat there, stared at each other, and started laughing. 'Looks like you got yourself a secret admirer, Joeru.' Seeker said. I blushed.

I took the offer, as it is a great opportunity for my writing and also a direct porter to understanding music and another wonder of what Second Life can provide to the residents. But that would means less sleep for me as most Live Music Events take place in PST. Haahaaa... I will survive!

My first article was on AldoManutio Abruzzo, a well known ambient musician, a passionate music maker. I had received many comments thru friends, with encouragement and suggestions and I thank you all.

This note is specially to the anonymous commenter:

Thank you, whoever you are. Thank you for reading my blog and liking it and to be the medium that brought people to know me. I would love to meet you, give you a BIG Kiss so step Forward! Haahaaa...

Looks like Joeru has to cut down her shopping time and start snapping & writing!
