it's the 10th of october today and one year ago on this day, pimp & paint published her first post. WOW!! i can't believe it's one year already.
time seems to fly by just like that when you're having fun :) last month we just celebrated our 100th post and today we're celebrating our birthday :) it's such a coincidence that 2 of my bloggie frens are also celebrating their 1st birthdays around now... as one of them puts it, "so... what does that make us? libras?" LOLZ!! yes ... we're libras :)))
the 3Fs ... fun, fulfillment and friends ... describe perfectly my year on bloggie land. it was fun just to be able to write and share whatever, whenever. i never thought i could last this long, but i did. and the best thing is, i'm still enjoying it becos blogging gives me a lot of fulfillment :)
fulfillment is an understatement really. it's been more than that. it's been a journey for me and my creative soul. i've always "made' things but it never once crossed my mind that i could take my creative side so seriously. i still dun take it too seriously, because if i did, i know i'll just loose my passion for it. i dun think i can ever think of it as a profession, but rather a passion, an outlet and just the sheer joy of being able to "make" things happen, and write about it and my thoughts. having said that, i honestly dun think that i could have lasted without friends.
so friends... i salute you :) you have been like my rock. when i didn't know better, you shared your knowledge with me, unconditionally. when i couldn't see anymore, you inspired me with your creations, so that i could see beauty once again. when i was lonely, you told me stories and brought me to distant places so that i could free myself and feel again. and when i wasn't sure, you came to my rescue with encouraging words, wisdom and love.
so here's to friendship across land and sea, across continents and timezones, across cultures and differences ... friendships that were once unimaginable have been made possible thru technology. and i am so blessed to be able to call you all ... my friends :))
right... i shall not go all mushy on you :) let's get to the exciting part!
YES!! the GIVEAWAY!!
this time's giveaway is something for the home :)
