I didn't realize until today that it'll be the 1st year anniversary of my blog. :) My 1st post for this blog was on the 23rd of July of 2007.
So as part of my anniversary celebration (?) I'd like to tell you of my blog history.
I originally started to blog in Friendster more that 3 years ago with the intent to update my family back home about Tricia. I thought I won't have anything to blog about myself so, I turned out blogging about my daughter's development and milestone. Then I found out about Yahoo blogs and was encouraged to blog there too coz it seemed fun since my friends were blogging from there too. So, from my daughter's development I started to blog about my family and myself. My blogging also saved us a lot of text messages and phonecalls back home ,as I would just tell my mom.. "Oh , this is what happened during our trip...but just read my blog for more details." :) I still set my blog into private mode since it was meant for only my family and some close friends. The thought of other people ("strangers') reading about my personal life didn't appeal to me much at that time.
Then my friend Janet introduced me to blogger. I created an account and found a lot of great features that yahoo blog doesn't have. And that's where I also found out a BIG community of bloggers all over the world and even spilling out everything about their lives. hahaha! As I read other people's blog , I found out that it's okay and not much of a big deal blogging about our lives, our kids and eveything under the sun.
At first, I was so shy to make myself known and ask for link exchange. So I'd just be luring around other blogs and be the silent reader. :) Then there were times that their post was just inspiring or encouraging that I couldn't help but comment. One by one other bloggers visited my blog..asked for link exhange , while I also started to come out from my shell and the rest is history.
So here I am now a year full pledge blogger. I thank you my readers, and my friends for visiting my blog and reading my posts - some interesting, some boring . To recap my 1 year of blogging, I'm blessed with more friends all over the world, I'm blessed to learn a lot of things through my friends' posts, I'm blessed to enhance my writing skills (oh, was it?) I'm also blessed with an added income through this..and not to mention, I'm having fun doing it.
Happy Anniversary, Bloggy Girl! :)
