Lagalog says thanks: 1,139 posts/5 years/60 months/240 weeks/1,825 days/4 cameras/many friends and acquintances later

This is my 1,140th post as Lagalog marks 5 years in the blogworld. When I first started, I was really clueless about blogging and asked myself what the heck was I doing writing an online journal. At first, it was to chronicle my day-to-day activities.L ater on, it evolved into a chronicle of my trips, hoping it would be of assistance to others. Along the way, I picked up lessons and made friends, some of whom are still with me up to this day.

Any way I look at it, 5 years is a long time to keep doing something like this. I'd like to thank you all my readers and friends for giving me the momentum to keep going, especially during times when I felt the compulsion to put this baby to the backburner. I also hope this blog was of use to you in any way. So, from the bottom of my heart, please accept my wholehearted thanks. I don't know what the future brings but here's to the next 5 years.Many thanks to my best buddy for this sketch; attribution: Ferdz Decena/ironwulf © 2008 • take note of the uncanny resemblance to Lagalog right down to the ubiquitous ipod headphones, hiking shorts & sandals, Nikon triangle on the camera
