One thousand! One thousand and one....

To some, this is nothing to celebrate about. But I am very excited that my blogpatrol indicated that there has been more than 1,000 visitors to this blog.

Before I went to bed last night, it was 996. Kak Teh and I were doing the countdown. Who knows, I could shout from my chat box and thank that 1,000th visitor, whoever he/she is. But the other 4 took more time than Ely's way to La La Land!

I know, some of you have had over 4,000 or even 9,000 visitors (there's one who is almost reaching 10,000 and I am excited for her!) but to me, 1,000 is a big deal. Does it mean that people might have referred others to read my blog? Or that some enjoy what I wrote (though sometimes it does not make total sense at all!)? I really don’t know...

Hmmm, how do I feel? Happy, intrigued and honored. I have made many acquaintances. Some friends have gotten closer.

I learned a lot from other bloggers through their postings. Some hillarious, some serious, some short and some lengthy ones and I love them all. I also see that every blogger has their expression for the day. Some would feel like writing about their Mom, some about the celebriti they met on that day, some would even make me realize that we really do have difficulties defining between left or right (hehehe) and having short term memory which are so very true. Some love expressing themselves through lovely poems and some would just write one sentence for the day and let comments continue the topic.

There is no right or wrong when you write on your own blog, but just pure satisfaction, that you have composed something for the day and realize that you indeed have the talent to write.

When my blog referred myself as Ely each time I mentioned myself, my co worker thought that I was high on 'crack' (as I started talking like that all day to her!). But hey, I told her that it was my blog and that was how Ely felt at that time. She sure did not complain but in fact, my blog made her smile and laughed over it all day!

I love to write, on just about anything. Usually I write about how I feel for the day. I feel that its best to write about myself as I know my level of privacy and how much of it would I want others to know. If I feel happy, I would love to share this with my fellow bloggers as hopefully, we could spread the happiness around and make others smile. If I am sad, I would say so as I also do need support from my acquaintences here. If you read my personal info, I am such a 'short attention span' reader and can be like that when I write too.

I hope that you will still enjoy reading my blog as much as I do yours. Thank you so much for your friendship and support, your warmth and kindness. You all know who you are :)

InsyaAllah, when my blogpatrol says 5,000, we could have a virtual potluck hehehe and longer tear jerking speech from me.
