The Journey ...

The party was great. The music was groovy. The food was scrumptious. The drinks were free flowing. Everyone had a blast dancing, singing, drinking and just about being plain merry. There was Elvis gyrating away to his customary hip shaking. The old fogeys were showing they still had it. The young fogeys were full of energy. Even the really really young fogeys still in diapers were having a blast. The DJ was in a league of his own spinning classic rock and roll tunes. Even that darn annoying Spaceman was there having the time of his life!


Man, that was one great party. I'm glad I had it. It's been a while since I had a party of that magnitude and fun. I'm glad you all enjoyed it. What? You didn't know I had a party? But I sent each and everyone of you guys an invitation! Don't tell me you guys didn't get it? How could I not invite you guys to my 200th post party? You're all my good blogging buddies, you know. Come to think of it, that explains why I didn't see you guys at the party. In fact, that explains why I wasn't even there myself!

Would you believe I actually reached my 200th posting a couple of days ago and didn't even realize it? Yeah, I was just too busy with those darn assignments that it completely slipped my mind. I only realized it today when I saw that I had posted 202 postings already. Drats, I so did wanna do something special for my 200th posting and I was even telling wifey about it a few weeks back. And when the day finally came I completely forgot about. That is just so like you Nick!

Yes people, I've reached my 200th post. While it might not be such a big deal but for someone like me with the worlds shortest attention span in most things I do, I never thought I'd go this far and this long in blogging. Even my best buddy Adrian was skeptical cos he knows how easily I get bored of things. I surprised even myself by actually liking this blogging thing which at one time I completely thought was something really darn silly! I'm taking my foot out of my mouth now ok!

It all started one fateful day last year with me helping wifey with her blog. It was like the blind leading the blind ... LOL! Trust me, we both were total blur cases when we first started. For me, it was more of an experiment that turned into an addiction. Actually I give the credit or blame, whichever way you want to look at it ... LOL ... to wifey. It was at her prompting to start my own blog that I actually went a head and did it and there was no turning back ever since.

I must say it's been a tremendous journey up to this point where I've learned a whole new deal about the blogsphere and the wonderful people who reside in it. I remember the day I got my first comment, I was ecstatic! Some other human being in this world besides myself was actually reading my blog. I had no idea at that time what I wanted to achieve in blogging. But over time it's become an extension of myself, my feelings, my experiences and a place I can scream bloody murder in.

And I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of my past, present and future visitors and friends who've taken the trouble to sit through my often long winded and sometimes silly postings and leaving all your valuable and much appreciated comments. Hope you've enjoyed reading it as much as I've enjoyed writing them :D

  1. Well goodness, allow me to be the first to congratulate you on 202 postings. That's awesome!! What a great effort and achievement. I have been reading you for quite a while now and am still enjoying your refreshing and optimistic outlook on everything. Even your occasional rants seem good natured but then you are a Pisces aren't you? Btw what date is your birthday? Just whisper if you don't want anyone else to know.....
