Sandier Pastures

The Island Girl has awarded me with a beautiful tag that says I’m a blogger and I rock.  Thanks for including me!    

Island Life - I, too, couldn’t remember where I blog-hopped to get to Kailani’s site but have been an avid reader since day one.   

Here’s passing the honor (in no particular order):

• In Spring it is the Dawn - A faithful book reader from Japan who always comes up with interesting books and lovely pictures of my ‘foster’ country. I admit I get homesickness attacks when I read the posts on this blog but I am always looking forward to it as well. I have always been a sucker for punishment.
• AbbyNormal - I bumped into Abby when I was still blogging in Blogdrive. Witty writing style she has that I love.
• HeartSongs - A family tale by the queen of Google herself, Karin. I love her regular roundup of informative, entertaining links as well as her endearing parenting stories. Lately, I discovered why her blog name has the word “heart” in it.
• Chitchat with Cheryl - Cheryl and her family moved to NZ almost the same time as my troop and I moved to Dubai. We are sharing stories of our new found country, adventures, culture shocks and most of all, missing home stories. She even takes the time to write me long emails in response of my “Dear Abby” episodes.
• Verb - ZAM is not only an online friend. We have known each other for more than 10 years and the flame of friendship is still burning! She’s a career woman, a doting mom to her cute son she is gracefully raising (almost!) by herself as hubby works far.
• Bleeding Expresso - I am new to Sognatrice’s blog and I am loving it already. She makes me want to live in beautiful picturesque Italy!
• Just Sharing - Blog of Florence who is in Germany. I am looking forward to her adventures in one of the places I love and dream of. Ah, to be a student in a foreign country! Nothing could beat that excitement I am very familiar of!
• Journey - Idel is fast falling in love with Japan and exploring the place corner to corner, eating every possible ramen variety she encounters along the way.
• Living my Life - Rose’s writings of her second shot of Japan living. I always check if there are updates to feed my Japan homesickness!
• Idle Moments - Another young expat on the loose in Japan, supplying me loads of sakura pictures and Osaka adventure stories.

This list might be updated once I get the time to read all the feeds in my reader!

I did not include blogs from rockin girl bloggers who got the badge already - Supermom, Write from Karen, Nocturnal Wench…

…and year 2007 is done. Time flies too fast.

It’s the end of June. Would you believe, I have accomplished more than 30 posts this month. Lots of time in my hands, my friends..chuckle, chuckle and more chuckle. Also, I have ‘expanded’ my chanels by signing up to contests and give-aways and to blog carnivals.

This month was a great month to explore lots of new bloggers and lots of goings on in the blogosphere.

The Carnival of Family Life is up at Everyday Disasters.

Can’t help it, got to let the world know (almost) everything about Dubai’s buses at the Carnival of Cities- here, there, everywhere up at ChristChurch. Check out what’s happening at the other cities.

My post is included in the ever first Carnival of Love, Dating & Glamor.

Blogging is getting better and better. Blogging wise, I love Dubai’s work schedule. I get write posts (lots of it) on Saturdays and Sundays.

I am happy.
