Allow me to introduce… myself.

The name is Joyce, or as you would get more used to seeing it spelled as: Joiz. I love to write and take photos.

I’m currently employed as a web administrator and QA Tester for a decent BPO company. I am also a mother to a 5 year old girl, named Ashley Fiona (lately referred online as “the kid”). In between being a single mom and an employee, I try to find time to do other things I really love.

I’m both a Scorpio and Saguittarius. My vital statis-LOL, no. You won’t get that kind of introduction here, but yeah, expect that a lot of my posts were, is, and probably will be –for a lack of a better word to describe it– immature. I love to travel, I like to try different things, I enjoy different food and I savor adventures. But I have never considered myself a writer, so when I try to describe my exploits it always ends up lacking the vibrancy, lacking structure, even to the extent of lacking sense. Then there would be times that I would deliberately write that way to amuse myself, but more often than not, I really am just… immature.

Joiz.org was born in 2007 (joiz.be used to house my blog in 2006) so I could write more, and have a place I can store in all my photos and illustrations, and share them with friends & family and the occasional strangers who just happen to pass by. This site’s predecessors served pretty much the same, only those were hosted in free defunct sites. Also please note that from time to time, I also serve ads & adventorials to fill in the blog’s corners and cracks. Mama needs it to pay the bills, yo.

I’m not a big name in this blogging industry. I don’t have thousands of followers on Twitter, or gather a lot of +1′s in Google+ and likes in Facebook. I don’t have a harem on Plurk or stalkers on Tumblr or my very own paparazzi trying to snap an upskirt or boobs shot. At least, not yet.

I enjoy what I have right here, right now. The long term goal is to live life to the fullest, be a student of the world, find the meaning of my life. I hope this blog not only allows me to share my explorations but to pave the way to it.
