It was such a crazy year but who knew? More than 500 posts. 100,000 hits. 2 hacking incidents. Several bashful comments. A handful of hate mails from fans. Random praises from readers. A quoted review at BBC Radio UK. Growing number of readers. That's one year, baby! Haha.
Quite frankly, this blog has been the most consistent thing I have done in quite some time. And yes, that should tell something about me right? Haha. DAM NATION has really been such a release for me. I may not have taken this whole thing seriously yet because I always fear taking something I enjoy too seriously will make things a little stiff, but I really consider this as a noble passion. So, happy blogversary to me and, yes, to the readers of DAM NATION. May this year bring more fun blogs and insightful conversations.
Now, to show my appreciation and to celebrate as well the anniversary of DAM NATION, here's a little treat for everyone. I'll be giving away three prizes for, of course, three lucky people. No, these are just minor goodies - nothing extravagant - but it's hopefully something you guys will appreciate.
