joining the blog photo challenge for the first time #1/366

blog photo challenge, Jared, green

I have been wanting to join the Blog Photo Challenge but have not found the time to do it. Now, after 5 months is done, I finally managed to set aside a portion of my online time to make a post for it, just in time for the new month! Oh well, here is hoping I’d be able to sustain this. I have been lagging online lately + is at a lost looking for my muse. This is an attempt to recapture the blogging mojo + hopefully get back to spewing those post + articles on time! I know I can only make so many excuses, but since me + the little man had fallen ill, my blogs have been relegated to the sidelines clamoring for my attention. Hopefully, as I start to feel healthy again I’d be able to finish all the backlogs + post each of the articles I have been meaning to post in the first place.

Anyhoo, my first BPC entry is this photo I took during one of those days that me + the little man happily roam around the resort while waiting for his swimming class to start. This well-manicured lawn is where they do their pre-swimming stretching + my little one enjoys walking + treading across the green path. I shall share more photos of his swimming adventure soon. 🙂

may 2012 top commentators

I cannot believe how time flies! I have never found the time for a proper summer vacation + now we are ushering the rainy season! Oh well, hopefully I’d be able to find ways to have a splash anyway before the storms start coming in.

Anyhoo, it is time again for another round of “thank-you’s” for those who visited + left their lovely comments, although, I know I have not been able to update this baby regularly as much as I wanted to. The sickness, the home chores + other offline business to attend to somehow made going online in the wee hours of the morning to tinker here impossible. Hopefully I might be able to make progress this month + get more comments + visits in the process, too.

Anyway, without further ado, here are my Top 10 Commentators for the merry month of May. Thanks guys + I hope to see you all here next month! + do watch out for my Top Commentators Giveaway beginning this June {will make a post soon} + while you are here, I hope you join my Oli’s Uncommon Cents Books Giveaway, there are only two more days left before this ends + I am giving away a $20 Amazon Gift Card along with 3 copies of the book! 😉
