Hi, just thought I’ll post and let you know I’m still reading your LJ. Must have been about 2+ years since I added you? I really enjoy reading and looking at all the food posts :). Also wanted to bring up a point about private posting…. I don’t know what other people use LJ for, but for me in addition to regular postings, I use it to remind myself of things (to do), and misc stuff like arranging with local friends to meet (much easier to do comments style where everyone can see all the replies than to reply-to-all email). Such posts I would naturally only post to private or specific groups as I’m sure no one wants to read them, so not really a trusting issue. Other than that, friends posts are friends posts. Hope I’m making sense! πŸ™‚

Hehe yes perfect sense.. it was me that didn’t make myself clear πŸ˜› I just removed people that wanted me to add them, but their entire journal was friends-only to a sub-list of people :X Too weird!

I have my journal filtered into various groups, mostly for works in progress, and then one for messages to my boyfriend and then my best friend. But most of my entries are very viewable, I thought I’d let you know that. I’m a bit late, I was gone all weekened.

wow – i’m honoured. πŸ™‚ I admit — I don’t update my lj (I blog at http://caycep.blogspot.com) but I do read your journal very regularly. Been an avid reader since the gemz days so you’re a staple on my online reading. πŸ™‚

Plus.. I *heart* your shopping/food entries!

Ooo gemz was so long ago! I was but a wee kid then πŸ˜›

Hehe at least I know I’m not boring anyone with all my food and fashion ramblings!

Thanks! πŸ™‚ I’m def keeping you on my friends list.. it’s really only people I don’t knowthat I’m deleting πŸ˜›

Oh no worries! I know who you are anyway πŸ™‚ I want friends on my friends list, so getting rid of those who aren’t, hehe..

i was in spore! so just saw this entry. anyway yeay thanks! i can still read your entries! πŸ˜‰ they’re interesting to the core

I’ve marked as private my old posts, and I have a friends filter that contains about 8 people (which I’ll admit you’re not in) which I use very very rarely for things that go past that level of “friends” to stuff I don’t want to share with very many people at all.

Just to letcha know πŸ™‚

hello! I haven’t been online for a while so haven’t really commented… sorry! But I’m glad you’re keeping me because I love your entries and your food pictures πŸ˜€ *mwah*

What brought this all on? I hope no one was being dodgy to you, or we’ll have to send Chris and Misty to beat them up. πŸ˜‰

I do make some private entries, and they usually contain a) a massive rant that I don’t want anyone to read… sort of like a paper diary entry, or b) stupid memes that I don’t want to subject other people to!

Haha no. just sick of having 23652353 people on my friends list, so I just end up scared of reading my own friends page πŸ˜‰ So the first people that’s easiest to remove are those that i don’t know, but that’s still about 300 people.. so next is to try and remove people that get me to add them, then make all sub-friend entries.. hopefully trying to get my list down to about 100 people!

Thanks for keeping me too!

Oftentimes I make some of my entries private after a while. But they are usually public entries for a while before I put them under private.

Usually the entries I put under private are things that keep on getting comments and I want to end the topic [like a couple weeks ago~>it was getting out of hand lol]

Aw, thanks for keeping me! Although I haven’t been commenting much lately, I do love reading all about your yummy food and best of all, shopping! =)

hi bev, i’m still on here! thanks πŸ™‚

sorry for not updating much lately. been in a bit of a rut with work and all. πŸ™

sheesh that is creepy.. can’t believe someone did add you and yet keep you out of his/her entries completely????
i’ve been reading your journal for so long (still remember when u were in college dorm, then move out with your roommate, then move around again some more ;P). i really hope you’re keeping me πŸ™‚

Ya it’s a little weird.. i mean, what’s the point of a friends list then πŸ˜›
Oh I am so keeping you, considering we share so many similar interests, haha!

aww thanks for keeping me!! i’ve read your journal foreverrrr but i never write in mine anymore… glad i’ll still be able to read πŸ™‚

So many people gave up on their LJs, I was looking through some on my friends list last night! I just find it so addictive.. but then again, people always say I have an addictive personality, so hmmm πŸ˜›

Thanks for keeping me on your list, especially since I added you only quite recently and I don’t think you know me that well yet??

But anyway, just for the record, I do privatise some of my entries, sort of like an archive thing but most of the entries are already public at first. But after say a month or so,etc. then I make them private cos I don’t like stuff clogging my page. πŸ™‚ Also some other entries relevant to school people for school events and msgs for specific people are open to them only. Too lazy to use email sometimes. πŸ™‚

Nah I don’t know you that well, but I know you’re a legit person with a real LJ.. it’s only people with empty LJs that don’t give any info about their identity that I prefer to keep off my list πŸ™‚ Plus you’re a fellow SG-ean!!

Yay, thanks for keeping me on your list πŸ™‚

It’s been sooo long since I started following your journal. Must of been sometime in 1999-2000 – I still remember that gorgeous goldish/brownish layout you had at gypsy.net (is that the right address? I’m so bad with the names of things). Wow, I even still remember before you went to Uni (and the few audio entries you made) and your first few entries about Chris… :O Makes me wish I had been/am more active with my journal on my site these days. Hopefully one day soon πŸ™‚ In the mean time, thank you for letting me have a window into your world – you’re a beautiful person!

Wow time flies hey! It was at gemz.net πŸ™‚ I must’ve changed so much.. it’s nice to know people that still remember me back when I was a wee kid though πŸ˜›

Yay! I hope I won’t be weeded out. I really enjoy reading about your shopping sprees, and I love your food posts!

Hee! *feels special* Thanks for keeping me here. I know I don’t comment a lot, but I do read all your entries! ^_^;
That’s a bit weird; people friending you and then locking you out. I know my entire LJ is friends only, but I only make a few posts that are viewable to some and not others, e.g. I block my sister from reading entries where I moan about her. πŸ˜› Other than that, all of my friends list can read my entries.
Good luck going through your friends list, by the way: that’s a lot of people you have added!

New icon.. my fave carebear πŸ™‚
Nah i don’t take off people that don’t comment, that’s way mean! I just basically took of people I don’t know and are really vague about their identity.. it’s not really anything dramatic, just want to have a more managable friends-list size really πŸ˜›

Heheh I hope your sis never uses your computer, or she’ll see all your posts! πŸ˜›

hey, thanks for keeping me – your journal is definitely one of my top 5 favorites (i love your food pictures! you always have the most delicious-looking meals) and i’ve been reading it for a long time.

i do make a LOT of private entries, where i write about secrets/problems/feelings that i don’t want to share with anyone. i also have a paper journal for these things, but sometimes it’s more convenient to just click my livejournal update icon on my desktop and quickly write down a thought (i’m obsessive about recording my thoughts). so that’s why. the public and friends-only entries in my journal are also pretty candid, it’s just that for me there’s such a thing as TOO candid.

Aww thanks!! My friends list have really similar interests to mine.. food and/or fashion, so we all get along, hehe.

Your private entries aren’t what I mean.. sincec everyone is allowed to have private thoughts! πŸ˜› I just mean a few people that ask me to add them so they can read my entire LJ, then make all of their entries open to another group of friends.. a bit weird :X

hi! i never comment anymore, but i do read. i only have something like 30-40 LJ friends, so i figure i don’t have any excuse not to be caught up. πŸ˜€

Ya I know you which is why you’re still on the list πŸ™‚ It’s just people that I don’t know at all that I took off!

Since I’m still here and all (haha) I wondered if you fancied any more Cadburys chocolate? I am assuming it is winter there and therefore quite cold so probably the best time to send over food that could melt. Let me know, we still have loads of the bubbly one in the office as I remember you liked that one!

Gah!!! NO, stay away, you are evil πŸ˜‰

Hehe no, I’m trying *very hard* to be healthy.. so no extra chocolates and temptation for me!! But do you want any from AU? I can send some over πŸ™‚

πŸ™‚ Just want to keep randoms and strangers out.. I don’t want to start thinking about censoring myself so I figure making my list *literally* friends only is the best way!

Hey Bev, Some people like me filter my list for posts that say *prata session* or some makan stuff coz obviously not everyone on my list wants to see stuff that discuss some meeting place among a few people only & on where to eat LOL! I also filter my list when I do mini sprees for some friends only since those who are not interested would be so annoyed with all the order updates/money collection. I also open up hot gossips entries to all but only for a few days. I would then privatise then & eventually delete them. Sometime such entries aired too long would invite strange attention. πŸ˜‰

That said, YAY I am still on your list! πŸ™‚

Yeah I don’t mean people like you with legit filtered stuff.. just 1 or 2 people that ask to be added, but then make almost every entry blocked to a separate group. Just weird!

I want in on your makan stuff, you hear πŸ˜›

Thanks for keeping me too!

Oftentimes I make some of my entries private after a while. But they are usually public entries for a while before I put them under private.

Usually the entries I put under private are things that keep on getting comments and I want to end the topic [like a couple weeks ago~>it was getting out of hand lol]

i hope you don’t take me off your list you’re like a human beauty and food column hehe. i really enjoy it.

heyss! i don’t know what your entry mean about filtering some private entries.! so i’m still in the list πŸ˜€ but i’m quite confused! anyway. i love your blog!! i learn alot of things with your blogging on sydney stuff. at leats i feel a sense of familiarity when you blog about them. πŸ˜€

Oh basically I’m only going to have my entries viewable by People that I know, in real life or online.. and I know you, so def having you on my list if you don’t mind! πŸ™‚

Just checked out your friends list and it’s huge! It must be hell going through your friends page, good luck sorting it all out.

Also I thought you might like to know sometimes there are good reasons for making certain posts filtered/private. For example whenever I head back to Singapore I usually post and ask if anyone in Singapore needs a CP from Australia. I’ll filter the post so only those in Singapore can see it, makes more sense this way coz others won’t be interested in the entry and it will just clog up their friends page. Same when organising a joint purchase/spree (coz bank details are involved) and heaps of other reasons. πŸ™‚

Yeah I know.. I never really noticed my friends list until the other day, and I was like, ACK!!
oh i don’t mean you at all.. people that I know are real people with real lifes, I love having on my list. Its anon people or ones want you to add them, but you know they set up a filter for all their entries. Er, hard to explain, you just kinda get trust some people, and some you don’t!

It’s nice of you to filter your friends with certain entries though.. I actually intended to do that – normal stuff here, fashion stuff on myfashionpassion.com, but somehow that didn’t work, lol!

Don’t worry, I know what you mean. πŸ™‚ And it can be confusing trying to filter your entries so I try to keep it simple. I pretty much try to keep it in just 2 groups, those interested in fashion and those who are not (so I won’t bore them with my shopping haul). :p

thank you! for the record, i have private entries, just the ones that i think too silly or bemoaning about my love life or about work which I can’t share with others. πŸ˜› dont know if that’s what you mean from above. but most of my posts are public as i have non-lj friends who like to keep in touch. tks! πŸ™‚

Nah I wasn’t referring to you at all.. just people that add others solely to get added back, but then make all these entries and block them from it :X

Aw, thanks for keeping me! Although I haven’t been commenting much lately, I do love reading all about your yummy food and best of all, shopping! =)

Oh I am so keeping you, considering we share so many similar interests, haha!

I can do that if I had my LJ on my own site.. but LJ doesn’t allow that code to be put in as I can’t modify the structure of my page. D’oh!

Awww I’m sure you are!! I don’t know you at all though, would you mind letting me know your website/blog url?

aww thanks for keeping me!! i’ve read your journal foreverrrr but i never write in mine anymore… glad i’ll still be able to read πŸ™‚

You said it! I find it flat-out creepy when someone wants you to Friend them, then sneak and write blocked entries :X

So many July babies btw πŸ™‚
