One Year Down, A Millenium To Go

Image hosting by Photobucket
My blog's first birthday!!! Weehee!!


I started blogging a year ago on this exact date... a day after Valentine's. I first learned about blogging and its doodads when I saw Miss Ala Paredes's journal. Gawd, who's not reading Ala's anyway?? It's as if 80% of Pinoy bloggers knew about it and the Pansitan domain. I didn't decide to blog until I saw Miss Bianca Gonzales's though.

Kras na kras ko siya. I love the way she writes. I like her appeal. Gusto ko yung attitude niya in life. Luckily, she answered my question in her blog! That would be my usual query before I link guys up: "Ano ayaw mo sa halo-halo?". She replied here in my tagboard but back then I was using the one that can't store up tag histories. Bummer! Same went with Ala. She tagged back on me too. Noon kasi hindi pa sila masyado busy with stuffs so they have all the time to bloghop, I presume.

So ayun, initially, I didn't plan to "astigatize" this blog. I just want to try it out. I just want it to be where I can write my mind... *period*. Kaya check my template, it's still one of those that can be selected in blogger. Still, as I go along, I find it fun to add up funky stuffs. Kaso yung attempt ko para magbago ng template e hindi matuloy tuloy kasi wala talagang oras at napamahal nako dito sa halo-halo look. =)

So instead, gumawa na lang ako ng isa pang blog. This is strictly for my miniature painting hobby naman. Link is on my sidebar.

On with the stats!
To end the first year of my blog, here are a couple of stats and links from the year that was...

Total Number of Posts (Bilang ng Gulaman) - 167
Number of Links in Blogroll (Bilang ng mga Tambay) - 68
Total Number of Hits starting Sep 13, 2005 (Ilang Beses Nakipag-Jamming) - 3352
Average Hits per Day (Kostumer Kada Araw) - 38

Sarbey Tri

Sarbey Five-uh!

Notorious ako dati sa Friendster dahil sa hilig ko sumagot ng surveys kahit walang kabal-balan ang mga sagot ko. Those had been my way to detox myself from work. Maraming umaabang nun sa Bulletin Board kaya marami din ang nagtaka na bigla na lang kumonti ang pagsasagot ko. Busy na kasi simula nun lumipat ako ng work. Pwede ko na nga daw i-compile lahat ng sarbey ko at gawing jokebook. Hehe. Kelangang makausap si Bob Ong. Enjoy!

Hobbies!
I've got a LOT of hobbies and that's what makes me very flexible in terms of getting to know different kinds of people. Currently (and perhaps for a lifetime), I'm into tabletop miniature wargaming. Basically, it'll involve painting miniature soldiers and vehicles to form up an army. Your army will then be played against other's on a dioramic table using a complex set of rules ala Chess.
Warhammer 40,000
Miniature Tanks
Miniature Marines

Basketball naman. I usually play Small Forward or Shooting Guard.

Kras na kras ko siya. I love the way she writes. I like her appeal. Gusto ko yung attitude niya in life. Luckily, she answered my question in her blog! That would be my usual query before I link guys up: "Ano ayaw mo sa halo-halo?". She replied here in my tagboard but back then I was using the one that can't store up tag histories. Bummer! Same went with Ala. She tagged back on me too. Noon kasi hindi pa sila masyado busy with stuffs so they have all the time to bloghop, I presume.

So ayun, initially, I didn't plan to "astigatize" this blog. I just want to try it out. I just want it to be where I can write my mind... *period*. Kaya check my template, it's still one of those that can be selected in blogger. Still, as I go along, I find it fun to add up funky stuffs. Kaso yung attempt ko para magbago ng template e hindi matuloy tuloy kasi wala talagang oras at napamahal nako dito sa halo-halo look. =)
