Anniversary Special


I’ve been surfing the net some 9 or so years. I witnessed when blogs where still called “e-bulletin” or electronic bulletin board and been commenting on other blogs in different names, including Anonymous. But it never occurs to me to create my own until last year.

One year ago today and a hundred posts to date, my blog finally come full-circle. I’ve met a lot of interesting people, most of them became my blog-friends and I bicker with a few. To them I dedicate this post. Thank you for your frequent visits, comments and for sharing your personal experiences.

I know this tribute is not complete, how ever, it doesn’t mean I forgot. Believe me, I’ve been to your blogs and searched for pictures or icons that may identify you. But some of you (you know who you are) prefer anonymity. Neither the less, you are included, wither you’re there or not, in my invitation to my blog’s first birthday.

    CM, pasensya na dre. Si Theo yan. Wala akong mahagilap sa blog mo na maayos-ayos na picture (kaya siguro tinanong ka sa embassy kung ikaw yung nasa pasa-porte) : ). Yung banner mo sana, kaso putol naman.

  20. Happy birthday, Ed! At katulad nga ng sinabi ni Mimi Sleepless, I won't be surprised if your blog turns out into a book. Isa ako sa mga pipila para bumili.

    Congratulations Ed. I pinched the graphics ha and linked it in my blog.

    Looking forward to your many, many more Buhay Buhangin posts and series!
