Feeling the love!

This I didn’t believe at first. You might have noticed I am not that visible when it comes to Entrecard dropping and I scarcely post personal entries these past few weeks. My work is really eating big chunks of my day. But still, there are bloggers out there who are generous enough to extend their love to this old lady here.

Entrepgirl just gave me 3 amazing awards! Three!

If that don’t beat all!

Thank you so much, Entrepgirl! I really appreciate the awards. It gave my heart joy to realize there are really generous bloggers like you.

Thanks, cuz!

My ‘cousin’ came to the rescue once again. She took care most of the posts here while I am busy with offline work and my family. We have this agreement about the amount of posts she does for me and I am really thankful to her.

Templates, posts, ads… I don’t know what I’d do without her. She is heaven-sent.

Thank you and you already know all your hard work means to me.

Here I am…

I would like to apologize to my blog visitors and subscribers because I haven’t been updating that much these days. There have been some family gatherings that took my complete attention the past few days plus some difficult clients that I have been handling.

I will be back by Sunday to post some more and I will update you with what is happening in my world.

Happy weekend!

Re-launch: A Life to Remember

I re-launched this blog a couple of months before. I thought that I could start over then and face everything already. I was wrong. I wasn’t actually ready that time yet. It was forced and I just realized it after the Vegas trip.

This blog will now be known as A Life to Remember. I want to be able to look back and see that I have made some pretty good memories and will continue to do so.

My “cousin” is right. Positive thinking brings out positive things.

I declare that from this moment on, you will read here the real me. A daughter, sister, and mother, first and foremost.

You might want to subscribe to this blog, you can find the buttons on my sidebar… Thanks!

A glimpse of the new design

I had a glimpse of this blog’s new design and hopefully, my great blog designer will be able to finish the coding soon

I will be unveiling a totally new blog. Ever since that Vegas trip, I have been thinking a lot about re-launching this blog. I want to go back to the happier me. To the more positive me. And hopefully, the new blog design will be able to infuse that in this blog.

The tone of my posts will also change. I will make every thing short and simple. I will try to write about my daily life. I will try to write something, at least once a week, about my consultancy work.

I also thought I will feature one great blog a week here.

I really can’t wait for the new blog design!

New blog design…

coming up!

Since my ‘cousin’ inspired me to have this blog’s design done by a professional, I have entered into an agreement with her blogs’ designer for a theme of mine.

You will be seeing a new blog design hopefully this weekend.

I’m excited!

A Big Thanks!!!

From dark to the light

For some reason, I can’t really last long with a dark theme. I love lighter ones, white if possible. This goes the same for my life. I have been in and out of depression. Sometimes it lasts longer than the other ones. But at the end of the day, whenever I see my loved ones, I know that there is light at the end of the tunnel. There will always be love and laughter waiting for me.

Do you like my new theme?

For all of you…

Before anything else, I urge you to read this post from start to finish. It will make you understand my absence and the reason why I changed my blog title. Thank you!

First and foremost, I would like to apologize for being inactive for the past few months. Blogging has to take a backseat in favor of my baby boy, Santi. I gave birth last December to a healthy baby boy and family comes first for me. I know those of you who still visit me here from time to time have noticed that only linked posts were posted and nothing else. I asked a very great cousin of mine to take care of everything for me while I am away. And ever the gracious one in the family, she said yes and never failed me.

I changed my blog’s tittle to Burst of Laughter. I also added a tagline that says… “And a new beginning. Letting go of the past, finally.” Let me explain why.

When I started this blog, I was grieving for a lost loved one. My husband of only three years died from a boating accident. He drowned when his ship capsized and I was left to take care of our then 2-year-old daughter, Anika. I was also pregnant with our little boy when it happened. You can just imagine the pain and anguish I felt when it happened. My beloved cousin suggested a month after we buried my husband that I start a journal. An online one to make it easier for me. It will be the therapy that I need, she said. I opened two blogs. One, a really personal one that chronicled my grieving. And this one to earn some extra income and meet new friends.

Last January, when little Santi held my hand while I was crying, missing his dad, I realized that I need to let go of the past already and move on with our lives. I now have two lives depending on me and it will not do good if I continue grieving. Matt will be happier where he was if he sees us moving on. And while I was digesting all these, I heard my daughter, Anika, laughing on something her uncle was telling her. I also heard my dad and my mom laughing with the two and I realized that life will be okay. My life, my kids’ lives.

I am finally letting go of the past. I will forever hold Matt dear in my heart. His kids will know what a good man he was.

Everything will fall into place. Slowly. Gradually.

And now I am back. I sure hope you are still there, ready to be friends with me still.

Happy weekend!

Hello everyone…

I am currently upgrading this blog. But it will still be up and running. I just want to give you all a heads up just so when you encounter some errors, you would know why. But this site will not be offline, okay. It will continue running.

Only godaddy and bluehost provide a memorable hosting experience. Even dotster agrees to this. With more computers we have more options on the internet too.

If you know the exact URL of the entry you are looking for, just key it in the browser and you will surely find it.

Thanks and sorry again for the inconvenience.

Happy Tuesday!
