2012 in review

January 2, 2013 at 12:54 pm | Posted in BLOGGING FUN, EVENTS CELEBRATED | 4 Comments

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

19,000 people fit into the new Barclays Center to see Jay-Z perform. This blog was viewed about 59,000 times in 2012. If it were a concert at the Barclays Center, it would take about 3 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.

Click here to see the complete report.

Oh my, what can I say? THANK YOU all for the lovely visits and I hope to still see you all in 2013 as my adventure continues.

Happy new year to each and every one!

Yup, you read it right… my blog is 5 years old today! Hooorraaay!

Allow me to thank everyone who dropped by and gave some of their time checking out my site during this last 5 years. Special thanks to those who decided to leave some comments, who subscribed, who followed, who shared, who clicked the “like” button.

It’ been an amazing 5 years and I hope to still have all of you here in the next 5 and more years!

THANK YOU!

Sometimes stange things happen.

My dad was browsing through my site today, until a new comment appeared. It seemed like a spam, because the commentor, named Jenell, commented on an old post dated April 2011. The post he commented on was about “Nosebleeds.” But the comment was quite related to the post (unlike real spams), and he even added additional information about nosebleeds.

Dad decided to read the whole post again.

Strange though, I started to have a real nosebleed a few minutes after Dad read the article. Dad immediately positioned me and applied pressure on my nose. He just knew what to do instantly. The nosebleed eventually stopped and I am fine now.

It could just be a coincidence, but I want to believe that an angel  visited my site. He guided my Dad to review an old article, so I won’t panic on the sight of blood. It was reassuring.

Thank you, Jenell. Angel or not, your comment was so precious!

I am now starting to realize how valuable our comments can sometimes be.

Today, thousands of peace globes will be posted online, and thousands of bloggers all around the world will be blogging about PEACE,  in support of the annual Blog Blast for Peace. Mimi of Mimi Writes hosts this event every 4th of November. If you want to join the campaign, check out her site or visit their Facebook page.

Here’s my Peace Globe!

I join the march today, as I believe that peace is something that every people should work on. The evening news on tv is a daily proof that we need to act, and it is through collective efforts that peace can be attained.

I am only 4 years old. I may not know what peace really means in a global sense. But what I know is that I don’t mind playing along with my Muslim friends eventhough I’m Christian. I don’t mind eating together with my Arabic friends although I’m Asian. I don’t mind sitting side by side with my fairly-skinned or darkly skinned-classmates, and I’m brown. I don’t mind who they are. As long as we enjoy playing, eating, and chatting together, we’ll have lots of fun. I think that’s my version of peace.

Peace be with all of you!

My 1,000th Post!

This is my 1000th post! Isn’t that amazing?!

It’s been 4 years and 10 months! My parents started my blog when I was just a double strip at mom’s pregnancy test. They were so happy so they wrote about it, and told the whole world in a blog.

Readers of this blog witnessed how my mom struggled for a complicated pregnancy. They celebrated when they saw my newborn photographs. They sent birthday messages on my birthdays. They sent “get well” messages when I was sick. They encouraged me when I started schooling. They cheered with me on my little achievements.

And so today, there’s no other way to celebrate my 1000th-post feat, but to THANK everyone who took part in this blog – from my relatives back home in the Philippines, as well as those in US and Canada, and to my readers from all over the world whom I haven’t even met. Here’s abig…

Thanks to everyone who hit the “follow” and “like” buttons, who subscribed, who commented, and even those who just dropped by without leaving a trail.

It has been an amazing experience to be able to meet all of you online.

You guys are awesome!

I hope to see you all again on my 2000th post!

Cheers!
