One Year


Today, this blog turns ONE. Yipee!

I've never thought that I could reach 1 year in blogging. Why? Well, I tend to procrastinate. A LOT. And to reach one year is already an achievement for me. Seriously. This blog has survived for a year. Imagine that. I had lots of wonderful moments since I started writing this web log. I gained a lot of online friends and acquaintances. I've met some of them in person and they're really nice. I've also come across some serotonin-inducing emails and comments. Thanks, guys. Mwah!

A shoutout for Kat and Myka. They may not know it, but it is because of these two lovely ladies that I was inspired to make a blog. Long story short, I heard Kat talking about her blog and so, I googled it. "Kwento ni Kat". I liked the idea of having my own blog. I was bored with my daily routine, anyway.. so what the heck, right? And in there, I found Myka's blog - Coffee Concepts. Ding! Ideas and inspiration started flowing. A shoutout to Bino and Engr. Moks for always leaving some trail. A shoutout to Nas for being so brilliant in making inspirational posts and to Salbehe for writing such witty and spontaneous (comments off) articles. I'd also like to thank Bulakbolero, Angelo, DiamondR and Midnight Driver. And to Dadedidodong for being the top referring URL of my blog.

Thank you so much for the views! I've got 29,538 pageviews from the Philippines (as of today), 8, 076 from the United States, 1690 from Indonesia and 1161 from UK.

I'd like to acknowledge all of my followers, readers. I also appreciate my "silent readers". Thank you very much. Thank you for sharing your blog with me, for taking the time (and will still take time, I hope) to read all my posts and for dropping some comments every now and then.

Oh, and much love for these great cyberfriends who filled my email inbox with love. Cyberhugs! Oh ano, inuman na! Lels.

  32. Dear Leah, first of all congratulations for having made it to the 1 year mark.

    Thank you so much for the mention, I am honoured and humbled that you think my blog is inspirational.

    But more importantly, thank you ever so much for sharing your story with us. The good times and the bad, the happy times and the sad, the ups and downs. It has been an absolute pleasure to have been reading this excellent blogs and is truly one of the few that i would classify as my favs.

    I hope and pray that you continue to blog and I wish you all the very best for the future, not just here in the online world but also in the offline world. May there be a time where we see many many more blagaversaries (who cares if it isn't a word), and may we be able to share with you in your times of happiness and also those of sorrow.

    Take care!
    Thank you.
    :)

    @Nas: Wow! Thank you so much for this lovely letter, Nas. I'm speechless. Hmm...

    I really admire you, not just as a blogger.. but as a person. They say that, in one way or another, you can get to know a person by observing.. the way he writes, the way he talks.. the way he sees things. And well, you are truly one great guy. And I'm very pleased.. VERY pleased indeed, that I've gotten to know you.

    Take care, too. Nas. And THANKS. Hugs. ♥

    @Glentot; At dumaan rin si idol. Thanks so much, Glen! :)

  42. Happy 1st blogoversary, Leah.

    I have been reading your blog for a week now and I must say you got me hooked. I love the way you express yourself. I simply love the choice of words.

    I missed reading posts just like yours at the blogs. A lot have made blogging their bread and butter by monetizing their blogs. I am no exemption. If only I got more time in my hands, I'd so love to write more interim posts than paid posts.

    Keep writing from your heart. I wish you more success in your blogging endeavors.

    All the Best,
