Working It

Em, one of my very good amigas is celebrating four blissful years in the blogging world. Congrats Em!!!

From one little LJ blog, her online presence eventually blossomed into a total of seven (going on eight!) very prolific and (ehem) very lucrative blogs! :) I’m really really happy to see how our “raketeering” greatly motivated Em to take blogging more seriously and, in effect, brought the writer out in her.

I am just so amazed with this woman! I mean, I can’t imagine how any sane person could churn out article after article after article on an almost daily basis, haha! Anyway, Em has always been a little crazy quirky and I really love her for it! :)

So anyway, for her blog anniversary, she’s put up a cute little contest for all of her friends in the blogosphere. All her “contestants” have to do is to answer a simple question on their own blogs and then to link the entry back to her so that she could raffle off the prizes.

There’s a humongous amount of moolah involved but, honestly, even just a cup of Starbucks coffee would do it for me. :) But if you guys want to join the contest, go ahead! The question is pretty simple really (and very ingenious, if I should say so myself, nyahaha!) and I’m sure you’ll enjoy racking your brains as much as I did.

Em asks:

When you first came to visit any of my blogs, which from among my numerous entries do you remember landing on? Doesn’t really matter which of my 6 blogs you landed.

First, I would have to say that I’m honored to be one of the first visitors of her one and only blog in 2004. Yes, our friendship does go back a long long way, and yes she only had one blog back then, hehe.

Not a lot of people know this but, before her current blog evolved to what is now http://em.wifespeaks.com from being http://purpleism.livejournal.com, she actually kicked off her blogging career through http://em_blogs.livejournal.com. We were all new to the blogging world back then but, even as the newbie feeling wore off, we continued to carve our niche into the blogging world.

Em was also one of the pioneers of WifeSpeaks.Com – it was a given that she was going to be a part of it, knowing how thoughtful, generous, and outspoken she is about her thoughts and opinions. I can’t imagine Wifespeaks without Em, she’s always been a wonderfully gregarious contributor.

And now, after that very long-winded intro, to answer her question…

Without looking at her archives, this is what first came to mind:

I remember when I first visited her blog, there was an entry about the book “Hope For The Flowers” and why it was a very sentimental to her and to her husband. That was the first thing I read in her blog. I remember, I even bought a copy of that book because of her. :)

But now, though, when I tried to check her archives to see if it was indeed the first entry I read, I was really surprised (albeit a little panicky) because I couldn’t find the entry, hahaha! And then *toink* I remembered that the Hope For The Flowers story was actually a blurb she had written on the sidebar of her blog at that time! Oops. :D

Now I know that the first entry I actually read in her blog was the one where she posted a sort of poem or wish about wanting to see her little one soon. Unfortunately, I wasn’t a huge commenter yet at that time so, no proof? Haha!

Looking back at her old entries, I’m so glad to see how far my friend has come in the past four years. Blogging is not for everybody but, whether she agrees or not, I think Em is born to be a blogger. :) Keep it up sis and I wish you more power, more love, and more opps (of course!) now and always! Luvyah!
