Remember Him Him from HubPages?

HubPages is where I first started writing online. I know there are some here who wrote there or perhaps still do. There was a very young man there from the Philippines who called himself "Him Him" (real name Hector) He was a funny guy and a student with an irrepressible personality. He graduated from college and moved on with his life, but friended me on Facebook and we keep in touch occasionally, addressing each other as "my distant friend." Anyway, I saw last night that Him Him is married and is a brand new dad! We exchanged some messages about this happy occasion. Just wanted to share in case anyone recalls him from HP.

It is great that you kept in touch. The good things about Facebook outweigh the bad by far.

Pretty much so, I think. I have never had any problems on FB.

I am on Hub Pages for many years already. I do not recall coming across anyone by that name. Nice that you keep in touch with someone from there. Do you still publish on Hub Pages?

I like to hear good news about friends I made on other sites. Although I hardly ever do hear about them.

You two have communicated online so many years,from HP to FB,which proves that you get along well.I wonder why he isn't a Mylotter.

I think that he went into the banking business, now is married and must have a very busy life.

It was a good place to write longer pieces, but there were lots of rules and a format to work with.

I kinda forgot about Hubpages until recently when some of my hubs started getting some comments out of nowhere. The site has had a lot of changes, it looks like. I do remember Him Him. Nice to see some Hubbers doing well.

No, but he has a very cute baby! I think I started online writing when HubPages were on their way out.

I wrote on Squidoo but never migrated to HubPages, so I do not believe to know Him Him, but congratulations to the new dad.
