Who am I?
Hi, I'm J (Jay, Jhay), the Head Tweaker here. I'm a freelance writer and Google-taught blog creator. I'm more of a bookworm than a writer. Sometimes I craft, frequently I cook, everyday I daydream and I'm always a Darling Aunt. I learned to love Barney, Prince Mackaroo, Dave the Barbarian and Gargoyles. This is my blog. I keep it real while still seeing enchanted gardens and rainbows in all of life's lessons.
I coined the term 'kalikotpepot' and used it on my previous site at WordPress way back 2010. It's a combination of two words: 'Kalikot'=passive verb kalikutin means to poke or stir, apt to describe my ever active AllyMcbeal-like imagination and my trial and error skill in creating hands on/DIY projects ergo, I'm makalikot; 'Pepot'= simply a fun, jesty childhood nickname. There you go--kalikotpepot, sounds a bit naughty and playful as I am, haha.
