YES, WE ARE STILL ALIVE.

* * *

Last month's secrets:

1. Yes, Codeblued went on a month-long hiatus for various reasons: One, no new secrets were coming in. Two, there were other things I had to fix first. Three, I wasn't sure if I still had fans. Four, no one was commenting on the secrets. But I'm glad to say that after a month of absence, YES, we're still here, and CodeBlued is luckily still alive.

2. That said, please SEND IN YOUR SECRETS! It doesn't have to be about any particular topic, it just has to be a secret, no matter how small or trivial. E-mail away at codeblued@gmail.com ! You can send in an actual postcard (picture file) or text-based secret, and I will gladly make the secret for you. ;)

3. In addition, do type your comments about the secrets posted. This way, I'll know that somewhere out there, someone's still reading them, and they still have a purpose.

Thank you to all the supporters of CodeBlued. I was thinking of closing down this site for good (and only after a few months!), but I decided not to when people were telling me that they were still waiting for secrets. Thanks, everyone. Somewhere out there, these secrets are still doing what they're supposed to. :)

*As a special for this week, we have a grand total of 14 secrets! YEY! :D

**CodeBlued was also featured in COMMOTION's first issue for this schoolyear. COMMOTION is the official magazine of ACOMM (Ateneo Association of Communication Majors). Thank you to Sasha Lim-Uy and Dessa Jimenez for featuring CodeBlued. More power to ACOMM! Grab your copy of COMMOTION now (if there are still any left. :P).

I've Got A Story

RE: June 2, 2008 --- With you, I am opening myself to the very real possibility of having my heart broken...

E-mail to codeblued@gmail.com :

Damn, damn, damn. I think I open myself up to heartbreak TOO OFTEN. That's precisely the problem.

I hate it because it feels like the "when's" and "if's" always blur whenever I like someone. It's difficult to deal. I really wish I could control myself more.

What is real, and what is not?

Last week's secrets:

1. Pretty good week today, as secrets are trickling in once more. As a result, I'm able to post this new set on time, and there are even 11 of them! :) Hope you keep sending in your secrets to codeblued@gmail.com so that there will always be new secrets every week. :D

2. CodeBlued has reached people in unlikely places. This has led me to believe that while CodeBlued is increasing in popularity, not enough people are sending in their secrets. Don't be afraid to e-mail! :) Any secret --- from the pettiest to the most serious --- is alright, and any design will do as well! If not, you can send in your secret as a plain text file, and I can make it for you. :)

3. Beautiful art this week. As always, personally love some of the secrets. :) Enjoy!

I've Got A Story

RE: June 2, 2008 --- My Eyes Drink Greedily The Sight Of You


E-mail to codeblued@gmail.com :

Dear CodeBlued,

I made this secret a few weeks ago with someone in mind. Now that I read this secret again, I realize that it's now meant for someone else. I guess that person's my new secret now. Of course, I still enjoy looking at the person this was originally meant for. But I realize that hey, some secrets are meant for a lot of people.

You're my secret ... you just don't know it.

Thanks CodeBlued! Hope to see more secrets, and more power to your site!

Last, last week's secrets:

1. It's been two weeks since the last set of secrets. It's getting harder and harder to post weekly! :( Please, continue sending in your secrets, stories and questions weekly so there will always be content for this site. codeblued@gmail.com :D

2. In the first few weeks of CodeBlued, I floated the idea of sending in actual postcards. So far, I haven't received any, but it's not too late to start that trend! :D Make a secret on an actual 4X6 postcard, and send it in! E-mail me at codeblued@gmail.com so we can settle meet-ups. :)

3. Enjoy this week's set of secrets. I personally really like some of them. :)
