A few minutes ago Penfires has reached a new milestone! WordPress Page Views has breached the 500,000 mark! Yey!
Last January 1, I claimed this year to be something special and now that year-end is near, I can say that it really has been and blessings are still pouring in. Yahoooooooo!
2012 is really a huge blessing for me and for Penfires, Thank You God!
Thank YOU TOO for supporting this blog. Your visits, the comments you leave, the time you spent browsing through this blog’s articles and pages are really appreciated! It fuels my drive to visit more of our islands, more of our best spots, more of our best food offerings so I can share them with you and everyone who wants to know more about the country, yet have no time yet to explore on your own. Or maybe you just want to read another’s perspective on beautiful places in the Philippines and traveling experiences. Whatever the reason that you ended up on Penfires, Thank You for Staying. Thank You for Reading. Thank you for letting Penfires be part of your day. Hahah speech ba to? Hahaha pasensya na masaya lang haha. 
Daghang Salamat dyud!
Penfires Hit a Milestone! 500 Thousand Page Views All Time!
What’s more amazing, for me at least haha, is that it’s only this year 2012 that web traffic and page views really soared, so it means the coming years and months is a pretty exciting time for this blog. Hehe. Positivism always win!
*Page Views on the first 20 months – 68K
* Page Views in the last 12 months – 432K
Penfires has also been consistent making it to the Top 30 among Travel and Leisure Blogs listed in Top Blogs PH in the last few months. Hurray! Crossing fingers it will not slide down fast heheh.

Thank You for visiting and reading hehehe! =) Dipolog and Rizal Park is on my bucket list! Hopefully soon maka-balik na ko nganha. Papa nako taga Pagadian, naka-agi ko diha katong bata pa ko pero kalimut nako mao want to go back there hehe. ^_^ That’s how I also started writing on journals. Make a target date for yourself like by January 9, 2 months from now, my blog is up. Or by June 30 next year, my first post is up. That way di na ka mag delay. Heyyyy why not post your commitment date here para naay accountability haha. I’ll make sure to follow-up with you hehehe. Letting other people know the target date you set for yourself will inspire you to follow through on your plans. Mapugos dyud ka kay kahibaw man ubang tao, naay pressure gamay so di na dyud ka maglangan hehehe. It always thrills me when someone takes the leap into blogging! mao grabe sad ko mamugos hahaha
