A nomad who loves to travel and likes to collect adventures. A foodie who loves to eat and try all foods in the world. A music junkie who is just crazy about all types of music. A person who likes almost everything and wants to learn new things every single day.
I like reading news and blogs. I like talking to different people from all walks of life regardless of their nationalities. I am a lurker who now feel the need to share what I have seen, felt and observed on this very big classroom called Earth. And now, I have to be involved on what is going on with the world and its people. So, I am writing this blog and I do hope you would enjoy my “Lurker’s List.” My blog is about everything I wanted to share especially topics about life, work and travel — and may be, some shit that I think we can all learn from and of course, reality.
Note: Forgive me for using the first person, it is like too much Vitamin I. 🙂 This is the easiest “person” for me to write. Please leave a comment on what you think we have in common or what made you smile on my list. I would love to hear from you and together, let us laugh! 😀

The Lurker's List 
That is an awesome list. =D So many things I can relate to here, from chocolate to reading to tasting new food. Why do you celebrate your birthday the week after though?
~ Hi Zen! The celebration a week after my birthday is like a me-time for me, my own treat for myself. On the day of my birthday, I do celebrate it with loved ones because it reminds me that I am still alive because of them (yeah, they’re one of the reasons). Here’s why: https://thelurkerslist.wordpress.com/2013/01/11/what-are-you-grateful-for/ 🙂 Thanks for dropping by, chocoholic pal! (=
[…] About […]
Love this introduction of yourself. Very entertaining!! 🙂
~ Wow, thank you so much! What number on my list made you laugh/smile the most, may I know? 🙂
“Some people think that I really like them when they do not have the faintest idea that I hate them so much.” I laughed out loud on this one… shows great strength of character to be able to make those you can’t stand feel like they’re your best friend! Good job! 🙂
~ haha it took me some years to practice that! i do not want to seem to be a plastic or a fake but so as not to offend people, i just make them think i like them. haha 😀 thanks again. 😀
I love No. 13. I don’t travel a great deal, other priorities in life, but I am defiantly there in my mind, does that make sense? So glad you dropped by my blog. 🙂
To be able to come up with an amazing 101 is simply “amazing”!
Wow..wow and wow!
@))–>>—-
…Thanks for the laugh!!….
~ Hahaha! What made you laugh the most in this list? Thanks for reading! 🙂
When a person comes on you;re website, for the first time like me. You see a very simply lay-out, but what a surprise when you see the lurkinglist…
Good name for a website, The Lurking List…sounds funny
Thanks for letting me read it 🙂
Awesome list. Enjoyed it — very engaging!
Especially liked #92 – ‘I hate using the word ‘myriad’ because I think it is overused.’
102. You said, ‘irregardless.’ So, there’s that.
Love your list, esp.95. I cuss or curse because I was never allowed as a child. Woman should embrace cursing when it is appropriate; like getting a parking ticket in NYC, stubbing your freshly pedicured toes, loosing a bet to your husband and then having to take out the garbage all month. Stuff like that deserves a good f-bomb.
~ Yep, you’re absolutely right! Can I just say that we, women, are fucking marvelous?! Hahaha! 😀
Damn straight!!!
74: You will become the next catwoman
92: Up there with “plethora”, right?
🙂 Great list, thanks for sharing!
BB,
-mya-
~ haha yep, plethora is another word that is also mostly used but i can tolerate using that compared to myriad. thanks for dropping by! 🙂
Wow! We are….scary-similar! I would say that your list is about 75% ME!! Nice!
Your blog and intro are so fun! 🙂 Plus your first four things are the exact same as me in your 101 points. Great to stop by and read it more.
I love your blog and I hope I can hear from you very soon. 🙂
If possible, (I would be more than happy to return the favor with a facebook page or any other social network) could you like my facebook website https://www.facebook.com/cdoriam for more updates on my blog and upcoming projects.
Thank you very much!

Feedback:
1) Too much text –
Add some pics, embed youtube video or relevant pics from google on the topic you are writing.
2) Keep it small –
Readers are quite lazy reading long text content. Scrolling for once is fine but should not be more than that to read one post.
All the best.
regards

~ ty for your feedback. yep, i admit i’m too lazy to find or capture my own photos even if i want to put some photos in my post. i find your blog informative, except that i think would it be better for the orange boxes to be black? nway, more power to you and keep up the good work!:-) thanx again 🙂
