I have promised this special person an interview and I hope I do her justice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This woman is an incredible artist who has one trait that shines above all others, she has originality. Many artists struggle to find their "voice" but this one stands out from the crowd and has a style which is unlike any other.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who is this most talented artist and blogger? She is none other than the unbelievable&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://emilayusof.com/"&gt;Emila Yusof&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;She operates and hosts her own blog, &lt;a href="http://emilayusof.com/"&gt;Emila Yusof Dot Com&lt;/a&gt;. If you've never seen her work, you are really missing out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Emila is not only a great artist, she's a beautiful woman with a beautiful soul. She is super friendly and has become one of my best friends here in the blogosphere! I could go on all day about how great she is but let's meet this talented artist and read about her in her own words.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://emilayusof.com/"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_ajKbumPR5M8/RxgYwtHU0SI/AAAAAAAAAXM/EZNUY4t-N-s/s400/emila022.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5122871801157046562" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;WGM&lt;/b&gt;: Hi Emila!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Emila&lt;/b&gt;: Hi Bobby!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;WGM&lt;/b&gt;: Before I get into the main questions, I want you to know how much I  LOVE your artwork!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Emila&lt;/b&gt;: Thank you so much, Bobby! I am so glad you love my art!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://emilayusof.com/"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_ajKbumPR5M8/Rxga0NHU0UI/AAAAAAAAAXc/IlY61gLp1oA/s400/citrus1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5122874060309844290" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WGM&lt;/b&gt;: How old were you when you began drawing and tell us a little about  your art experiences as a child.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Emila&lt;/b&gt;: I began drawing when I was a 5 year old child growing up in an army  camp in Melaka. We lived in a house by the ocean. I remember how my mother  taught me how to draw the beach; the coconut tree, the birds, seashells etc. I  also remember having lots of fun getting a coloring guide from my father. He  taught me how to color right. Other than that, it was purely out of  passion.  Like other kids, I drew almost on anything that I laid my hands on; my father's  books, the wall, my own palms, my pants, shirts and the new encyclopedia set  that my father bought for us siblings! But it was sure fun having my own  drawings beside the illustrations in the books!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;WGM&lt;/b&gt;: So many artists strive to be unique. You seem to be unique and  unable to not be. What do you think are  some reasons for this?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Emila&lt;/b&gt;:  I invest a lot of myself in each piece. When you see my artwork, you will  see pieces of me, what’s on my mind and what brings me joy. Maybe this style can  be called unique.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;WGM&lt;/b&gt;: Your art captures so much emotion and viewers get a warm feeling  from seeing your art. Some of it is because your art has the feeling of a  child's fantasies. Tell us how children have influenced your work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Emila&lt;/b&gt;: Children have always been the influence in all of my children-based  artworks. I am inspired by my own son, my nieces, nephews, my own childhood  memories, the neighborhood children, not leaving behind the children that I have  worked with during my 8 years stint with a Marketing Department in an  established company in Malaysia not so long ago. Despite handling all the  creative pieces for the company, I was given the task to handle the outdoor  marketing programs that involved children. I conducted drawing &amp;amp; coloring  contests and was having a blast! It was fun being around them; I got to be a  child myself! Yes, I practically joined them in coloring my own coloring sheets!  I might be a mother but I do have an ‘inner child’ in me! So whenever I create  children-based pieces, my inner child will emerge and all the childhood  excitement and fantasies came to life. The girl I was at 5  is  still me, not someone from the past.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://emilayusof.com/"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_ajKbumPR5M8/Rxgbj9HU0VI/AAAAAAAAAXk/vmj9pE2ow4k/s320/bb_king_by_emila.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5122874880648597842" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;WGM&lt;/b&gt;: I love the organic color you use in your art. Your choice and  perspectives of color make your art feel alive and magical. Why is an artist’s  use of color so important and how do you see it as part of your style?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;Emila&lt;/b&gt;:  An artist’s use of color is important and sometimes they use colors to  evoke certain emotions. Other times artists use colors simply because they are  their personal preference and like the way they look. I love using organic  colors; strikingly saturated. My choice of colors comes primarily from intuition  and truthfully, these colors simply make me happy. I often associate artists  with colors; Klimt with gold, Matisse with red, etc, I do hope that people will associate me with my colors choices.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;WGM&lt;/b&gt;: Who are some artists or people who have influenced your work?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;Emila&lt;/b&gt;: Basically, I am training myself to be an illustrator and find quite a  list of children’s books illustrators such as  &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Larsson"&gt;Carl Larsson&lt;/a&gt;,  &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jessie_Willcox_Smith"&gt;Jessie Willcox  Smith&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.author-illustr-source.com/crisarbo.htm"&gt;Cris Arbo&lt;/a&gt; and many more  influencing my children-based artworks. My  watercolor  pieces are influenced by &lt;a href="http://www.artst.org/okeefe/"&gt;Georgia O’ Keefe&lt;/a&gt;  (floral), &lt;a href="http://www.ccpvideos.com/page/CCP/CTGY/ARTJK"&gt;Jan Kunz&lt;/a&gt;  (floral) and  &lt;a href="http://www.johnlovett.com/"&gt;John Lovett&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://emilayusof.com/"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_ajKbumPR5M8/RxgdsdHU0YI/AAAAAAAAAX8/6Rx9LrVaj_4/s400/womansmall.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5122877225700741506" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WGM&lt;/b&gt;: Your art has a powerful impressionistic feel and does exhibit a  unique abstract quality. Please tell our readers how you see this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;Emila&lt;/b&gt;: Before this, I don’t really know whether my art has an impact toward  viewers at all! Thank you for your ‘powerful’ statement, you have just made me  realize that my art has actually captivated attention! I am so honored that you  think my art has that feel and quality!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;WGM&lt;/b&gt;: You are now recognized as a leading Malaysian artist (I'm so proud  of you!). I see you being known worldwide as a household name before long. What are some of your  future plans and what would you like to accomplish?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Emila&lt;/b&gt;: Hehe…I am only a leading Malaysian artist-blogger in the  &lt;a href="http://allmalaysia.info/visitmalaysia2007/am_blog/winners.asp"&gt;All  Malaysian Bloggers Project&lt;/a&gt;, Bobby! I still have a long way to go. My only reason  for being known worldwide is because I have been actively participating in  several art communities such as &lt;a href="http://www.illustrationfriday.com/"&gt;Illustration Friday&lt;/a&gt; and  &lt;a href="http://mondayartday.blogspot.com/"&gt;Monday Artday&lt;/a&gt;, where  artists submit their art for the community members to view and comment. I am  glad to find many great talented artists from all around the world and  befriended some of them. Other than that, I also met great artists from all  around the world through &lt;a href="http://emilayusof.imagekind.com/"&gt;Imagekind&lt;/a&gt; and  &lt;a href="http://www.greetingcarduniverse.com/emilayusof"&gt;Greeting Cards Universe&lt;/a&gt;,  two on-line stores, where I sell my artworks for fun. I also trade cards with  many great illustrators and artists through &lt;a href="http://mondayartday.ning.com/"&gt;Monday  Artday ATC&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My plan is to write and illustrate children books locally and maybe  internationally. For the time being, I do both illustration and graphic design  but in the future, I wish to just write and illustrate more children books,  besides painting pieces for my own gallery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://emilayusof.com/"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_ajKbumPR5M8/Rxgcv9HU0XI/AAAAAAAAAX0/0fiD4tna7dQ/s320/green2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5122876186318655858" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;WGM&lt;/b&gt;: Thank you Emila for doing this long awaited interview with me. You  have become such a great friend and I wish you INCREDIBLE SUCCESS!!!!! You are  my favorite artist and I always love the warm feeling I get when looking at your  work!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Emila&lt;/b&gt;: Thank you very much; it’s such an honor to be interviewed by WGM  and especially by you, Bobby. Thank you for being such a supportive, helpful and  great friend. Thank you for the wish and thank you for making me  your favorite artist! Yay! I have a fan! It’s a great pleasure to know that you  can relate to my art. Thank you, thank you and thank you!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;WGM&lt;/b&gt;: Before we go, do you have any final words?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Emila&lt;/b&gt;: Yes I do. I wish to thank you Bobby, all readers, friends, artists  and bloggers who have supported me and have taken the time to view my art, my  blog and left me with supportive comments. Thank you with all my heart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love and peace to all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wow...Thank you Emila for this wonderful interview! I wish you endless success, health and happiness! Please go visit Emila and look through her incredible artwork. Even better, say hello to her! There is no doubt in my mind she will be famous and she definetly deserves it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See you all soon! &lt;a href="http://revellian.com/"&gt;Revellian Dot Com - Blogging Ethics&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

I also promised &lt;a href="http://mariucasperfume.blogspot.com/" mce_href="http://mariucasperfume.blogspot.com/"&gt;Marzie&lt;/a&gt; on her post, &lt;a href="http://mariucasperfume.blogspot.com/2007/10/pass-pink-penguin.html" mce_href="http://mariucasperfume.blogspot.com/2007/10/pass-pink-penguin.html"&gt;Pass the Pink Penguin!&lt;/a&gt; to help in the cause. (I copied your post Marzie)! &lt;p&gt;to pass on The Pink Penguin in conjunction with the ‘Breast Cancer Awareness’ month of October. In doing my bit to help spread awareness on the issue of breast cancer to women, here are several tips on how women can avoid breast cancer and remain healthy.&lt;br /&gt;• Maintain a positive mental attitude&lt;br /&gt;• Do aerobic exercise 3-4 times a week&lt;br /&gt;• Practice breathwork and deepening body-awareness such as yoga&lt;br /&gt;• Express your feelings to keep your energy flowing&lt;br /&gt;• Ensure healthy eating habits and complement your food intake with the right supplements&lt;br /&gt;• Avoid toxicity&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;How you can help raise awareness on breast cancer:-&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;1. Spread the word. Announce the event on your blog. You could write a blog post (like this), or a little note about it. Whatever you choose to do, just go ahead and tell your readers about it.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;2. Go pink. Modify your theme if you know how to, or get yourself a pretty pink theme. If you run a website, turn your website pink. But if you don’t like pink, you could still participate by putting up a badge on your sidebar.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;3. Design badges and banners. Design a couple of “Pink for October” badges or banners for other participants to use (for free) and to publicize the event. Some of the existing badges and banners can be downloaded from the Official Pink for October Site.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;4. Design blog themes. There are a lot of bloggers who can’t even do simple designing, so if you are good at it, perhaps you could design and release a few pink themes?So, I am hoping that whoever happens to read my post, please do something to spread the awareness. It only takes a moment of our time.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Thank you!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://revellian.com/2007/10/11/pink-penguin-mission/"&gt;Breast Cancer Awareness&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://revellian.com/"&gt;Blogging Ethics&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

A lot of guys may wonder why I like the the colour pink but you know it's your favourite colour too!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This award was designed by the incredibly talented Mike from &lt;a href="http://thingsbymike.com/"&gt;Ordinary Folk&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.lovesickalien.com/"&gt;Gummy-The Lovesick Alien&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://blogsweluv.com/"&gt;BlogsWeLuv&lt;/a&gt;! He designed this award for my great friend Christy of &lt;a href="http://christyscoffeebreak.blogspot.com/"&gt;Christy's Coffee Break&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I want to say thanks to BlogsWeLuv for writing an awesome review of Revellian Dot Com earlier this week. The post was written by the most excellent and friendly tech wizard &lt;a href="http://www.bushmackel.com/"&gt;Bush Mackel&lt;/a&gt;! Go read the post &lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://blogsweluv.com/2007/09/27/revelliancom-a-blog-we-luv/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link: Revellian.com - A Blog We Luv"&gt;Revellian.com - A Blog We Luv&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Check out this awesome award (Thanks Marzie!)!

I apologize to all of the great WGM fans out there but this break is a necessity for me. I am starting to work on some new ideas and will be back up soon. No matter what some people think, it's quite alright to take a break from your blog every now and then - it's a good thing. Like I said we will be back and strong coming up soon! Thanks for hanging in there, I love you all:)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://revellian.com/"&gt;Revellian SEO Traffic&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

I have been running behind and luckily none of can be fired for it so ha ha ha! Since the interviews started there hasn't been a normal post because everything's been doing fine on it's own. I just want to thank everyone who reads this blog and say that women rock! There are some estimated 70 million blogs with an average of 10,000 new ones each week. I personally like women bloggers the most out of all of them. A friend of mine told me that if I ever get married that will all change. Of course if I were married I'd tell my wife, "I will do anything for you honey, as long as I don't have to stop doing the WGM blog!"&lt;br /&gt;Or maybe it would be, "I'm so sorry honey! Let me go delete that blog and cancel my blogger membership right this second! Please don't leave me!"&lt;br /&gt;Or even better, "I'm sorry! Let's get that front page pictorial tribute to beautiful you started right now! There will need to also be a fascinating interview with you, my sweet most beautiful woman on earth honey darling!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alright now, enough of the funny stuff. Women do rock the blogosphere, there is no doubt. Blogging has changed the world and women have been a HUGE part of it. Personally, I don't think they get enough credit. I am a little biased in favor of women, but what's wrong with that? Thank you women bloggers, you are what makes this blog possible and I say more power to every single one of you!!!!!&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

I know many women who think that they don't do anything worthy of acknowledgment, and there a few men out there who don't give women the respect they deserve. This blog, little by little, is making the world a better place. Thank you for taking the time to get to know me, and for helping me get to know so many other good people. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We want to say thanks again to Becca and wish her much happiness in the years to come. I thought her junk blog filter idea was very cool and I would sure like to have one of those! She pointed out in her final words that lots of women don't feel worthy of acknowledgment. I want to point out why that is. It is purely the fault of men. I have very few men readers of this blog and that is disappointing. It takes a real man to truly appreciate women! I'm not talking about looking at pictures, I'm talking about listening to what they have to say and really understanding them. There just aren't that many real men out there. Thank you Becca and all women who read and are involved in this project. We are slowly showing the world a very special view on women. This blog is truly dedicated and of the highest order when it comes to appreciating the most incredible being on this planet, God's Masterpiece:)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

The first two have gone over way better than expected and excitement fills the air. It's a tough job having to deal with all these wonderful ladies, but somebody has to do it. This week we talk with an emotionally charged, beautiful bombshell who just so happens to be a very sweet lady:)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She is none other than Amber, author of the heartfelt blog, &lt;a href="http://thereisnospace.blogspot.com"&gt;Random Magus!&lt;/a&gt; She has a Masters in Mass Communication after which she worked in a couple of advertising agencies as Creative Manager, then joined a television channel in the creative department. Her blog is a very personal portrait of a woman who isn't afraid to reveal her inner turmoils as well as moments of joy with everything in between. Those of us that know her are aware of some very scary moments in her life and†of course we pray for all to be good. Out of respect for her and her family, we will concentrate simply on her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have found myself almost in tears at times reading and commenting &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_ajKbumPR5M8/RnxMr38DJrI/AAAAAAAAASw/9fXzXTNyJUQ/s1600-h/Princess+%26+I.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_ajKbumPR5M8/RnxMr38DJrI/AAAAAAAAASw/9fXzXTNyJUQ/s320/Princess+%26+I.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5079018796400977586" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;on her posts. No matter what is going wrong in her life, she never wants or asks for sympathy; that makes her very special to me. She has become a good friend and regular reader of my blogs, and I, a reader of hers. Personal blogs like hers take readers on a journey through a full spectrum of emotion, and that is really what I love the most about her! She also writes a†blog entitled, &lt;a href="http://collegeessays.blogspot.com"&gt;College Essays&lt;/a&gt;, which is about marketing and business. This blog is one of the best I have ever seen on the subject. Now, we bring you the gorgeous and intelligent†Amber!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_ajKbumPR5M8/RnxNSX8DJsI/AAAAAAAAAS4/quWyAJIwIYM/s1600-h/DSC00393.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_ajKbumPR5M8/RnxNSX8DJsI/AAAAAAAAAS4/quWyAJIwIYM/s320/DSC00393.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5079019457825941186" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;WGM&lt;/span&gt;: Hello Amber!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Amber&lt;/span&gt;: Hi Bobby and might I add how very flattered and happy I am that you asked me to do this interview. Seriously…thank you&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;WGM&lt;/span&gt;: Tell us Amber, who are some of the authors that inspire you and have influenced the way you write?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Amber&lt;/span&gt;: Ever since I can remember I have been reading books. As a kid my favorite author was Enid Blyton and I remember that I used to think I was a changeling and that my real parents were fairies that had left me at my parent’s doorsteps. I was quite a fanciful child. My mom and dad would get me loads of books; I guess that’s why I became bit of a loner. I love Somerset Maugham and the simplicity of his writing. Amongst other favorites would be Oscar Wilde, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Albert Camus, Peter Shaffer, his play ‘Equus’ is one my favs, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, Ibsen, Chekhov, Tennessee Williams, Thomas Hardy, Milan Kundera, Ayn Rand, Bertrand Russell, Homer [I had Greek mythology in my ‘O’ levels].&lt;br /&gt;I think it’s more my thinking they influenced rather than writing. My writing skills are nowhere remotely near.&lt;br /&gt;Amongst the more contemporary ones my list would include Nick Hornby, Amy Tan, Fynn, Mark Haddon, Gerald Durrell, Christopher Moore, Alexander McCall Smith. One of my all-time favourites is Agatha Christie and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;WGM&lt;/span&gt;: You have hosted television shows and done freelance copywriting (wow). Please elaborate on this for our readers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Amber&lt;/span&gt;: I used to co-host this show which was on the lines of King for a Day – we’d choose a caller and then they would have three wishes granted one of which was to meet with any famous celebrity. Freelance copywriting I do here in Dubai. I used to be Creative Manager at this agency called Prestige which was affiliated with Grey International&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;WGM&lt;/span&gt;: You were in a play, what play was it and what character did you portray?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Amber&lt;/span&gt;: It was a lead role in a soap called TV3K [blushing with embarrassment] … yes I’ve done some very frivolous things in life… but it was a fun experience and it was a kind of kick meeting people who had seen you on TV.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;WGM&lt;/span&gt;: I know you love cats (me too). How many cats do you have, what are their names and what are they like?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_ajKbumPR5M8/RnxMYX8DJqI/AAAAAAAAASo/qUbOeIn9rAI/s1600-h/aby+and+bb.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_ajKbumPR5M8/RnxMYX8DJqI/AAAAAAAAASo/qUbOeIn9rAI/s400/aby+and+bb.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5079018461393528482" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Amber&lt;/span&gt;: I had 9 nine cats before I moved now two are with my mom-in-law coz she has a huge house where they’ll have room to play. I live in a one bedroom here so 9 cats was not possible to keep. My first cat Princess a black Persian was a gift from hubby then boyfriend. Then we bought Pauper. I called him Pauper because Princess was a truly regal cat and this one’s a cat that thinks he’s dog… seriously. Then they had 3 kittens, Buffy, Senti and Nakchari [which means snobbish]. Then the second lot, before I had the boys fixed, included Sher Khan, Dr. Jekyll and Miss Hyde [for obvious reasons one was extremely friendly and the other was one of the unfriendliest cats you could ever have]. Leaving them behind was one of the most difficult yet at the same time unselfish thing I have ever done. Before moving to Dubai my house was big enough to accommodate all of them They would love to sit on the Snooker table – and whoever would come to the house would find it a total trip to see them – 7 black Persian and 2 Himalayan the funny thing is that the white ones were off springs of the two black parents…. Now at my mom-in-laws Pauper and Buffy are strangely enough friends with the peacocks she has. It’s quite a sight to see them together. Oh this is making me miss them… and I can’t even go back as I have College:(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;WGM&lt;/span&gt;: What do you love the most about blogging, and how has it affected your life?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Amber&lt;/span&gt;: I love the freedom that blogging gives you, to be able to express what you feel without being afraid of people judging you. It’s like a special bubble that all of us have created. We have friends here who know more about what we think about things and how we really feel, from painful childhoods to present nightmares and joys. These are things we hardly talk about in ‘real’ life’ where most of our conversations are nothing more than small talk. Plus we get to meet each other daily. During my dad’s bypass the kind words of support that people left made such a difference. For someone like me who finds it very difficult to open up to people and show what I am feeling, blogging has been a wonderful escape from that prison, because here I find that behind the shield of my words… I’m faceless, just a voice and so it is so much easier to express and connect to others. I just love that ability to connect without judgments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;WGM&lt;/span&gt;: You are one of my favorite people to leave comments. I love the way you respond and I really love to leave comments on your posts. How important are comments, and what do you like about them the most?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Amber&lt;/span&gt;: I think comments are the soul of blogging, to me not leaving a comments especially on blogs I am visiting for the first time is like I came to your house and didn’t say hello. I have had the pleasure of meeting such exceptional people more through comments than anything. Our blogs are more of a monologue and comments are a dialogue – they are what make blogging so much more than a journal or diary. That’s how you form your relationships.&lt;br
