i am woman, hear me rawr!

For my second Serial Sevens, I am listing 7 bloggers or blogger groups who I want to thank. They have helped me immensely in my journey through blogging and exploring my creative side. It is also through them that I have changed in so many ways. With no further ado, here they are:

1. My blogger guru’s Mommy Rubz, Iris, Jen and Jeff, and Earth. They were the ones who taught me how to optimize my blog, get income generated and how to finally become a friend of the sheriff!
2. Noemi, Chats and Cess, my POC editors. They have helped me fulfill my dream of becoming a writer. I am eternally grateful for the opportunity to hone my craft under such supportive and encouraging bosses
3. My  Movie Blogger partners (Jori, Flow, Earth, Ohms, Iris, Sire, Cathy, Cher, Lace, Az, to name a few) and our sponsors Watching movies without you guys is not the same, I swear!
4. My Blog Anniversary Sponsors for making my first anniversary contest a success.
5. My new-found cousin (Cuz Sis as she likes to say) Ryan (a.k.a. Fedoran) for making my blog adventures even more fun.
6. My first blogger friends and hosts, Az, Lace, Jonel, and Ed
7. My Plurk buddies for making my daily existence so much more fun. Thanks for listening to the rants about my you-know-what’s and you-know-who’s. Hehe.

Here’s to you my dear friends! I’d send you some wine and cigars (as are customary congratulatory gestures in some places) but since we’ve gone virtual, let’s settle for some cupcakes topped with chocolate wine and cao cigars!

Every day my battle with weight loss is becoming a more and more public one. I realized that because I used to hide the fact that I was aiming to lose weight a secret, it was harder to live up to it, so I decided to blog about in one of my other sites.

Yesterday, I was so flattered to receive confirmation that Fat Girl No More was nominated as one of the Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs for 2010!

I’m thankful to my blogger friends for their vote of confidence, not only in my blog, but in my journey towards weight loss.  Through their support and words of inspiration make me more and more motivated in sticking to my decision to make a change. I know now that weight loss is more than simply searching for the top diet pill, program or exercise. Rather, it is a choice one makes and sticks to.

I hope that in the next few months, a lot of good happens in this diet of mine! Also, if you plan on joining the influential blogger writing contest, perhaps I can invite you to consider Fat Girl No More!

Today my blog turns 1!

It’s been a truly wonderful year in the blogosphere for me and I am forever going to be grateful to all those who have supported and encouraged this venture of mine. Blogging has brought me a lot of blessings and opportunities this past year and I look forward to more in the coming years ahead.

Because I believe in the importance of giving back, here’s a contest for all of you who read, comment, support and subscribe to my blog. It is also a chance for those who do not yet to do so!

Before going to the contest mechanics, let me outline for a minute my 1st Anniversary theme:  I Blog to Thank.  As I mentioned, I want to take this opportunity to thank all those who have been with me in my year’s journey in blogging and so what better theme but thankfulness or gratitude. I hope to be able to inspire you, too, to take time out to see what you are grateful for this past year.

With that, here are the mechanics of the Three Cheers and Many Thanks Blog Contest by Yapatoots Read the rest of this entry »
