Well, this is my first post here at Blogger.com . Actually, I begun blogging somewhere in another site but I didn't get through it so far... it was difficult, or I don't know. Hope this new-found site will be a success to all my weblogs. I love writing, so allow me to tick this keyboard and display my words on your screens. I wish people would see my little contributions.... I wish myself, who is nobody, be known to many and be recognized. I call on you: my dear loved ones, friends, acquaintances, someone, or anybody to join me here. Hope you always drop by (to know more about me) as I may do the same with your own blogs. I would appreciate your posting of comments so that I can go on, sharp and clever, with my passion for writing. Welcome to Albine's Corner !
