Dancing in Midlife Tune

When i checked out my mailbox earlier, i found this invitation to the Queens Meme.  This week is all about “Magic”.  Do i believe in magic?  The questions are sort of hard to understand and to answer but maybe after this post, i will answer them later after checking out the best gift for a horse rider – the breeches! I am sure the equestrian will be real happy if you remember to give him that this christmas.

The queen’s meme is all about:

Sometimes silly. Sometimes serious.
Always fun!
Step out of the box. Be creative.
Use your imagination.
No one’s answers are quite like yours.

Wanna join?  Check it here.   Like it?  If so, do the answering and come back to leave your link so that i can visit.

Now am off to do my power nap.  Ta ta

We will be having another set of long weekend because on Monday is a national holiday. So i thought of going out on a road trip but no one invited me.  If i have my own vehicle then for sure i will be on the go.  Where?  Maybe to Davao or maybe in Surigao because i’ve never been to Surigao yet.

Here’s my test result:

Blog!

I was going through this blog, i thought of checking out my first post and good thing i discovered that it was today in 2007 that i made my first post or else i can’t greet this blog.

This blog has been through a lot. This blog was started because i wanted to venture paid blogging or having fun blogging at the same time earn. So that was how it started until one time last year i thought of closing out this site because i have other blogs that sprouted. I ran out of time to update – thus the decision. I did not close yet but i made it stagnant for some months. Still a blogspot then, from PR 3 it turned into 0. When it became zero i then decided to revive using an owned domain.  I wished for a domain then an angel heard my wish – thus it became www.midlifedancing.com  (still on blogger format)   The PR 3 never showed its shadow again though one time for some months it got a PR 2. Now it’s back to 0 but am still blessed because though it is zero – blessing still pours. It may not be as much as typhon but it showers and it rains.

Just this year, i was able have it hosted by WS thanks again to that angel for the affordable hosting.

So for those who plan to start blogging just for the heck of it – go ahead! Who knows one day you will also feel like go into paid blogging. But if you plan to blog to make millions, i have not experienced that so i can’t say yes or no.

I’d like to thank to those who have encouraged me to blog and also those who have visited this blog once in a while as well as those regular visitors.

You may be wondering why there’s no contest or blog fun to celebrate the blogsarry – sorry, i just discovered it today that this blog turns 2 today.   Maybe next year.
