Oh, the cow is crying “Moo, moo”! Time to go now and feed him with some fresh grass in order fatten his mad ass and make the whole farm happy. Oh, grapes, grapes, how I love those circled purple fruit! Have to gather them up, not to let them rot right at their branches in order to make the best wine for my best of friends. And of course all the veggies and fruit-bearing trees are singing merrily as the industrious farmer looks after everything with caution, love and dedication…right from the computer screen.
Wow, sounds like the way my grandpa took his farming chores in the province so seriously not even my grandma and her shrieking voice could bother him. I myself wanted to retire on a serene and beautiful farm so long as there is an internet connection and a computer unit inside the farmhouse.
Taking farming so seriously the way Britney Spears is so damn serious of honing her craft by doing for so many times a lip-synch on her concerts is only as good as if you are a real farmer and second, if the whole universe and inter-planetary councils are not screaming out of bewilderment of what happened to Writing To Exhale and where has its “influential author” have gone for more than two weeks now.
I will be rude to you Bro. No, I will be gentle, haha. I can’t be rude, though you were asking me to whip you hard for deserting your blog and chose to live on Farmville where many other bloggers have found another online calling. Call me a chicken, bok, bok, bok! It is just ok, I know you take care of all chicken in your farm meticulously and lovingly. *smiling*
To simply put it, I just want to join Mam Jena on calling out Jan to wash his hands, dress up and put away for a moment all those farming tools, gloves and farmer’s hat in order to go back to blogging and strip down the post on his blog’s door saying: “Influential Blogger Feeding the Pigs, Cleaning their Poo, Don’t Disturb”.
Anyone who does not miss Jan, his brilliant posts and engaging conversations with readers? Oh, I am seeing all hands in the air Bro.
It is your readers calling you out Bro; to take the first ride out of the farm for a moment in order to make a post and tell all billions of people in this planet and the alien bloggers from the unknown galaxies (who by the way are preparing an online inter-galactic petition to call you out) gazillion miles away of how you are doing. “I Am Doing Great!”, that could be one great post for a start; but knowing you, you will not settle for such a lame kind of post for you always reach for the stars. Having problems of what to post as you confided to me? How about “How I Milk My Online Cows” for a second post? LOL!
Well, I cannot point out any other more reasons to compel you to go back to blogging. Except that you will be soon receving the the official decision of the court rendering its judgment on your act based on existing laws and presented evidences, LOL! It is your blog anyway and it is you who blogs anyway, hehehe. Just be ready to see throngs of your readers camping out of your blog’s doorstep.
I wonder how it feels to be featured at Tumblemoose, LOL! Moo, moo, moo! LOL!

Funny thing is since I started playing FarmVille I got lots of invites to play other games. I got swamped with neighbor requests in other games. Cafe World always seems to wink at me, urging me to cook something in Cafe World while I wait to harvest my crops. FarmVilles alone is a handful. Perhaps when I’ve bought a villa I might try other games? Ahehehe.

He he he Elmot, sa totoo lang, ako ang na engganyo na sa farmville. Farmer na rin ako ngayon. And totoo ka, nakaka addik. Kaya lang , sanay kasi ako sa multi-tasking: tanim ng strawberry, tapos balik sa nanowrimo, pag medyo nag-iisip na susunod na eksena, mag entrecard drop muna, then tamang-tama, puede nang mag-ani sa Farmville. Kaya three birds with one stone ako…
Babalik din si Jan, don’t worry. Sabi nga, writing is his passion, di puedeng di siya hihinga…mangingitim iyan from lack of oxygen. Kaya the uber blogger will be back soon. Right, wali?
Oo daw.

I seemed to have lost my rhythm. All I have now is this cycle of rural life: plowing, planting, fertilizing, harvesting. It’s fun because it’s social game.
And who says there’s no keeping up with the Joneses in FarmVille? Always this compulsion to step up otherwise your neighbors will always have the better acreage, farm equipment, better livestock, fancy cabin. Ahahaha. Or perhaps it’s just me? LOL

That’s true there are different harvest times for crops. The fastest are two hours, then 4, some can be harvested in 6, 8, 10, 12 hours. Others you can harvest daily; others in two, three days.
Jen is right. YOu can multitask. In and out of FV in a jiffy, unless you follow my example. I’m a goat starer, you see. And in the absence of MP3 in the farms I listen to a nice of symphony of mooing and cackling, etc.

@Elmot, that was what I felt too , when a colleague invited me to be a neighbor. I said I had better things to do, and definitely, I won’t be having time for such a game. But when I started farming, I find it to be a de-stressor. And a few minutes of farming is a good respite to provide a window period between the incubation of an idea into a full blown muse.
You should give it a try. lol.
