Milestone Achievement

1 Jul

Writing can be enjoyable, but maintaining a weekly blog can be a monumental challenge. Keeping the interest of an audience is not easy. I feel fortunate that I have been writing and improving my blog for many years now, and I still have an audience. It’s a very fulfilling feeling.

What started in an amateurish manner has blossomed over the years. Recently, I renewed my blog site and realized that it has been 12 years since I started it! Twelve years is a long time. Arriving at this milestone is an achievement, and I’m proud of myself.

A big shout-out to everyone who has been supporting my blog. Happy reading to all my, and happy anniversary milestone to me!

Happy Anniversary to me!

It’s a Long Tail

23 May

I thought I was at the tail end of my illness, but nope, it has persisted. I have been feeling so sapped, it’s very tiring, physically and mentally. There has been no will to write or do anything, hence a delayed post this week. This darn virus is so persistent!

But today–after my third visit to the doctor–there’s a breakthrough! I’m feeling slightly better, and what better way to move forward than to begin DIY project number 33! Yay.

Happy Anniversary

14 Jun

Yesterday, my blog site turned 11 years old. Wow.

I am most impressed with myself with the longevity of this. When I started this in 2013, I wanted to write better by keeping a journal, not just for me but also to share my adventures. Never had I envisioned that it would go on for so long.

I want to thank my readers who have joined me on my adventures and experiences. Without you and the support, it would never have gone on. Happy anniversary to me, happy reading, and thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Three More Weeks Left

8 Dec

Would you believe that we have three more weeks left for 2023?! To say how fast time flies is correct and sometimes not.

Time flies when one’s having fun. However, time does not fly when one is at home and bored to tears, with nothing to do except count the ants on the counter and listen to Spotify on a loop.

I am not reflecting on my eventful year yet, and I’m sure the right moment to pen down my thoughts will hit as the year draws to a close. Until then, I better make the most of what’s left of 2023. Then, I will have much to say and reflect on later.

A Mixed Up Sunday

14 Nov

Holidays are always appreciated! Yesterday was a replacement holiday as Sunday was Deepavali or Diwali, the Festival of Lights. However, the public holiday being on a Sunday threw a curve ball into keeping track of time for me. Happily, I thought yesterday was Sunday.

As such, I was busy with house chores and overlooked writing, hence no post. Oh well, I think this new schedule is a nice change. Two entries per week, with a two-day and three-day break in between, I have more time to do the things I enjoy.

Of course, when I travel, the entries will be more. I appreciate and thank all my readers for staying with me until today.

Ten Years and Counting

13 Jun

It slipped my mind of another significant celebration because of the recent wedding. As of yesterday, my blog reached its tenth anniversary! Gosh, where did the time go?

It never crossed my mind that when I started this a decade ago, I would go on for so long. It seems that there is so much to write and share. Ten years is a long time. Honestly, it was simply to write and keep memoirs of significant moments in my life covering my travels, hobbies, and adventures. Who would have thought this prevailed all these years and still going strong?

Well, happy anniversary to my blog, and a big thank you to all my readers and supporters for keeping my blog going! A toast to many more years ahead.

Nine Years and Counting!

13 Jun

I had a notification from WordPress this morning – congratulating me on the ninth anniversary of my blog site! Wow. For nine years, I have had this going. Wow again. I am speechless that I have kept it going for so long.

But this would not have happened if it wasn’t for all you readers supporting me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Keep reading, and of course, I will keep writing.

A Milestone Anniversary

18 Jun

Last Saturday marks the 8th Anniversary of my blog! Wow. I am amazed that I have persevered for so long to keep this going. But all this achievement is unattainable if it wasn’t for the support of all my readers.

The blog has certainly evolved from a journal to share the antics of my girls and my travels. Along the way, I picked up new hobbies, the girls grew up and went off to college, and the travel escapades were lesser.

The travel non-escapades were more evident in the last two years due to the Covid-19 pandemic that has taken over the world and disrupted many things taken for granted.

Well, I certainly won’t take the things I do for granted and am thankful to every one of my readers as you follow me on my whimsical endeavors and daily musings. Happy Anniversary and happy writing to me!

The Fifth Anniversary

12 Jun

Five years ago on this day, I started this blog of mine and five years has gone by and it is still going strong. What a milestone. Every day except Wednesday and weekends there’d be an entry, and more often if I travel. I have been very disciplined about it.

Life is simply amazing to give me so much to write about. While mostly it’s happy and memorable experiences worthy to share, there were sad and painful moments too, even fear at some point. Such is life.

Humbly, I’d like to say “Thank you” to all my readers out there and “Happy 5th Anniversary” to me and my blog. It means a lot to me that people, friends and strangers from all over the world, have an interest in what I have to say about my children, my travels and my life.

Four Years Ago

12 Jun

It was on this date four years ago that I started this blog and have been going on strong until now. I seem to have a lot to write and share.

But I must say a big “Thank you!” to all my readers out there and “Happy Anniversary” to me and my blog! Keep it up.
