IT'S MY BLOG'S ANNIVERSARY!!!



I didnt realize till now that today, Corporate Closet - The Blog, is one year old!!! SUS! One year old since I first posted this memorandum! I can still remember the inuman that prompted me to write the blog, march 4 to be exact.

Let me put this in perspective. Migs, a dear friend from a few years back, has been telling me about this wonderful SMART PLU's he has been hanging out with the past weeks. He had a hunch that I would 'click' with them. Eventually, Migs set up a dinner activity in Gale with McVie and Gibbs. That turned out to a riotous dinner. I met other bloggers after that.

Then Migs set up the inuman in an Inasal place in QC. Again, Mcvie, Gibbs were there, with another blogger I cannot name! and they were encouraging me to start the blog. Migs suggested something about the corporate world. So CC was born in the Blogosphere!

expect secrets of success (as if), corporate exposes (wish list, actually), gym and badminton (the athletic side), gay catholicism (oxymoronic?), a bit of sex and romance on the side.

Now im looking at all these expectations i listed. Secrets of Success - hardly. Corporate Expose - couldnt bring myself to out other people DIRECTLY, gym & badminton - in passing. Gay Catholicism - once or twice. A bit of sex - LOL. this topic turned out to have the lion's share of exposure! romance on the side - yeah. until ultimately, the romance died.

CC the Blog is truly a journey... a site under development. i struggled with my issues. i bragged about conquests. i wept about lost love. and i opined on SATC and other topics i fancied.

i used to be happy to see one comment from a reader. now i see a number of comments from regular readers. and that makes me warm and fuzzy inside. WOW. MY BLOG MATTERS to some people! Thank You!

then there were the podcasts! what started out as a guesting in troikasters became a regular thing through the fabcasters! and boy was i judged, condemned, maligned that first podcast. JOKE!

so in order of appearance, i would like to thank Migs, my classmate, my friend! and McVie & Gibbs... and Lobster, AJ, the FABCASTERS! special mention to DC, the first reader whom i met. and consequently other bloggers ive met personally like Onai, GBIC, Tenchu, Dats and others whose names escape me at the moment.

And of course, readers who regularly visit. with special thanks to those who take time out to comment on my musings and a-musings! CC is still on the road. he aint there yet. but even if he doesnt get to where he wants, the journey is already well worth it!

Congratulations! Wow, it's been a year? I've been reading your blog since the middle of last year. You write with maturity and refinement (and with just a right amount of naughtiness) that I find quite appealing (and sexy, hehehe). Hope I can get to meet you one of these days. :-)

ang sarap ng pakiramdam noh pag nakatuntong na ng isang taon ang inaalagaan mong blog at alam mong may nagbabasa, nakikiramay at nakikisaya. ang blog mo ang isa sa lagi kong binibisita, ninanamnam.
more power, more posts, more love, and more of this medicine prescribed as CC.

CC, joint post in person? Hmmm... now I'm curious how that goes. I assume it's simply not just blogging together side-by-side? Hehehe.
