If I were to summarize all the blog posts I’ve written over the years, it amounts to 2,715 all in all. That’s about five blog sites , of which the four are almost inactive.
Dreams and Escapes – 2,204 posts (this one not included)
Gardens and Empty Spaces – 108 posts
Our Precious Bundle Of Joy – 145 posts
Colors – 171 posts
Dreams Never End – 87 posts.
Dreams and Escapes is my main blog of course. It’s where I started my blog at WordPress. Back then, I didn’t even know how to customize, and personalize a site. I l;earned through the years and writing became an obsession. It comes easy once you started. As I have said before, it picked up last 2011 when I joined the Post A Day writing challenge. I am quite afraid to do it now although I dream of it still.
As I wanted to separate my posts which are most about plants and blooms in my garden, I started a newer one called Gardens and Empty Spaces. I was inspired by several blogs I discovered here about gardens. Our Precious Bundle Of Joy came about when Nate was born five years ago. I was too enthusiastic before in updating this one until Nate was a year old. Nowadays, I write posts about him at my main blog. Overall, there are about twenty or more re-posted blogs on these two sites. (that happens when I am quite lazy to do another post on the same subject…haha 🙂 )
Colors came to fruition when I noticed that most of my high-resolutions shots were slowly eating up my allowed free space. This is where I post my macro shots, mostly about flowers and blooms, some places we’ve been to, food and such. I love the Duo-tone theme of Colors. I seldom post there for the simple reason that I no longer have a good camera to take photos. I mostly use my tab and cellphone when I take a shot. Each photo has a short write-up.
As I am nearing the end of my allowed free space here, I started a new blog. It has a different title and most entries do not exceed five hundred words but they are always accompanied by photos. I have more than a thousand photos at Photobucket, so many albums in one site but they are all marked “private”. Dreams Never End is still a work in progress just like the rest of my blogs.

The good thing is, that as long as the Internet lasts, everything you have written will be handed down to posterity. You children and grandchildren will be able to read your thoughts into their own old age, and reflect on the past.
Best wishes, Pete.

What year did you start blogging, Arlene? I thought I’d done quite a few posts with my nearly 900 but now I think about it I’m not sure if this includes the old Rjo site. I ran out of photo memory a couple of years ago and opted for a paid site but I shan’t be renewing in September, when I’ll have done 6 years in total. 🙂 🙂 I’ll have a look at your Colours but life just isn’t long enough to go in all the different directions. It’s still a great experience blogging though and I’ll miss it if I stop.

Been blogging since May 2009 here on WordPress. A sort of catharsis for me when I was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer. It was all about my illness at first until it evolved into the daily happenings in my life. You can start with a free theme Jo. Sometimes we don’t what to blog about but always an opportunity comes. I value my stats, those unknown visitors to my blog. Most followers are just there but there is no communication whatsoever. That’s why I don’t give so much weight on the number of followers that I have. There are just regular readers like you who interact.

Oh, I can’t afford that, the Philippine peso has devalued the past several months. Our economy is going down the drain, the president is focused on drug war and his political enemies. A sad situation here Jo.

My gosh, yesterday they freed the confessed drug lords but one of our Senators is still in jail. There was no evidence that she’s been involved with drugs but she is on the other side so…. I don’t know what has become of some Filipinos here. In the vernacular we say, “bulag, pipi at bingi” meaning one is blind, mute and deaf. They are blindly obeying someone who is not even worth it.
