Last week I had the pleasure of meeting Josh for the first time. He gracefully took time from his busy schedule to drive over for lunch at a shopping mall near my office.
The first thing he told me was “You don’t look the same!” He kept saying that I looked too young
We had a nice time chatting and I enjoyed listening to him share his stories. He told me about his visit to Sibu. I shared a bit about my work and my wife. We also talked a bit about our churches, and a bit about politics.
I found out that he’s a lawyer (who knew!?), and he gave me some advice on blogging such as putting up a comments policy and also removing some posts I did that could be considered seditious (I was really angry when I wrote those posts!).
Josh has started a new legal blog, called Legally Blawg. This blog aims to share “about legal issues facing citizens and cyberspace”. He said that there are many laws that common citizens and bloggers are not familiar with, which could get us into trouble. Example, what does sedition even mean?
I asked Josh, “You know Pablo Pabla or not?” He said no, so… Pablo, meet Josh. Josh, meet Pablo. Pablo is also a lawyer who runs multiple blogs such as the Blogs Review blog and his new Financial and Legal Matters blog.
Anyway, Josh it was really nice meeting you. I wasn’t exagerrating when I told you I’m really quiet right? I enjoyed the time with you, and thanks for the lunch. Next round my treat!
P/S: Since there’s so many starting new blogs, I want to announce that I also started a new blog! A little activity for your readers is to guess where my new blog is.
Clue: Google Made Me a?

I found it (with certainty)! So that’s why I felt a faint relationship in my memory between that riddle and the word “beagle”! So your site is frugal beagle dot com? I wonder why you kept yourself anonymous on the other site? (By the way, I can see that the puppy picture, on your new about page, has a URL with “adinochang” in it) Have a nice day, Mr Beagle.
Adino: Aiya, you guessed it so quickly!
Oh! Thanks for the tip
I didn’t know that my Google photos link will show my name.
I wanted to stay anonymous for this blog for several reasons. Perhaps I’ll share in a blog post, because there’s too many!

Hi Josh! and Mr. Beagle
Adino: Hehe… when you comment on that blog don’t reveal my ’secret identity’ ok?
December 6, 2007 at 15:00
Wahseh! U xpand ur business oledy ar?
Adino: Yeah lor… please go and visit http://www.frugalbeagle.com and give some business. But when you’re there, dun reveal my secret identity ok?
December 6, 2007 at 16:15
Okay, no prob.
Adino: Feel a bit Clark Kent hehe…

Congrats on the new blog!
Adino: Thank you
Any feedback or suggestions are always welcome!

Wah…I didn’t know you will blog about our lunch.
So embarrassing to hear all the compliments.
Anyway, it was good to meet a fellow brother - in Christ and in blogs.
It’s great to know you started a new anonymous blog. I suggest you quickly delete or keep this post “protected” so that your real identity is not found out.
Will link up with Pablo soon. Work beckons as always.
Adino: It’s okay… I don’t plan to keep it a big secret anyway. Just wanted to create some sort of ‘theme’ and ‘brand’ in the other blog
