The 10,000th Visitor

Welcome to my little corner for the th Vistor. This is included in my first year anniversary special and is a tribute to a particular visitor who has chanced upon my page and gave me my 10000th hit on the 9th of July, 1998 (Thursday).

Please welcome, Arturo B. Del Ayre! Yessss!


Of course, he is just in time for my (VERY) late Philippine Centennial Celebration. Well, Art is a fellow Tokyo Community Leader and also a co-liaison for Tokyo Island. He's always dropping by here to see how I'm doing and what current experiments I'm conducting with Adobe Photoshop 4.0 ^_-

To tell a little more about this visitor and his page...
ABDA's Philatelic Website is a personal web site on the Internet featuring the Philippine Postage Stamps issued from 1940s to present. Lots of stamp images, philatelic links and Philippines' postal and philatelic news.

ABDA is a true-blue Filipino electrical engineer by profession, a writer by vocation, and a philatelist by passion.

So now you guys know what I meant when I said, he was just in time for my (VERY) late Philippine Centennial Celebration. His site is all about Philippine Postage Stamps. Isn't that so neat!? I mean, the only other person I know who has a passion for stamps is my sister Jov and it's really refreshing to see that our stamps have a lot to say about our culture. They have a story of their own to tell. If you'd all like to know more about this hobby (and of their historical value), why not drop by Arturo's site, hmmmm?

Oh, and btw, Art just told me that he didn't download the GIF of my counter. He captured the image onscreen because he said he knew that if anyone tried to download the counter straight from the GeoCities cgi-bin, the only number that would appear is this: .

Pretty clever of him, huh? But that's pretty stupid of me 'cause I didn't know that GC had a change of their counter structures and I happen to be a community leader co-liaison, too! Go figure!

Well, Art, thanks for dropping by my site and for this 1st anniversary gift. Good luck on your pages ^_^
