Happy Anniv, desperateblogger !!!

I've been invited for a coffee date at the Coffee Bean in Greenbelt 3 to celebrate desperateblogger's 1st year anniversary in the blogging industry.



I was kinda expecting that most of her guests will be... you know... moms: working moms, single moms, cooking moms, breast-feeding moms - so at first I'm a bit hesitant to go for i might be out-of-place (and not to mention that i came in really late).
Well, turns out that perhaps they're pretty much busy on some stuff, so it was just me, eMz and {girl}forallstatus who came.





























































I really had a great time meeting them and hearing their funny stories. To desperateblogger - again congratulations and keep it up! More blogging years to come!

Kung Hei Fat Choi

January 26, 2009 marks the beginning of Chinese New Year celebration.

2009 is the Year of Ji Chou (Year of the OX) and year 4706 in the Chinese calendar.

According to Chinese calendar, I was born on the Year of the Pig. So, what's in store for us pigs this 2009???

I really don't care... all i care about is tikoy, tikoy, tikoy! (ang baboy talaga eh.. hehehe =)

If you wanna learn more about the complexity of this whole Chinese-year-thingy, you may visit this site. Or ask some of your Chinese friends for more tikoy, I mean details.

One step at a time

I still have a lot of things to learn about blogging. I just learned how to make a "Read more" section in blogspot. (wohooo!) No more lengthy post and high bounce-rate. Thanks to this tutorial on How To Add The Blogger "Read More" Expandable Link.

Next step, to learn more about:
  • customizing layout
  • tags
  • improving writing skills
  • SEO strategies

... well basically, learn how to blog effectively.

At first, had no plans of getting serious in the world of blogging. I'm more of a designer, not a blogger. I'm not good in writing (yah.. i suck in grammar, composition writing, essays, thesis, et.al.) Well, guess i have to take this as a challenge. Time to get out of my comfort zone.

Good luck. Kamay sa dibdib. Let's play. =)
