I’ve always wanted to own a book blog. I wanted to read books an blog about my reviews.

 

Well, I finally started one. It still barely has any readership, but I am patient. I will work on adding more content and promoting it, so it will eventually gain attention.

 

When I first started Chocolate High, my goal was just to have somewhere I can write my thoughts in. I did not plan for it to be successful at all. Well, it’s not really a huge success, but there are still people who come here regularly and I still have followers and gain new followers every now and then. When I was still part of a poetry community, Chocolate High was always featured an visited. Everything that happened on this blog is way beyond what I have initially imagined or aimed for it.

 

For me new book blog, I just hope that I get a few people to visit the blog and be loyal readers. I have goals and plans for it, and I hope I get to achieve even half of what I got for Chocolate High.

 

So, my beloved reader, I hope you find the time to drop by my book blog, Sultry Steamy Reading. It’s at http://sultrysteamyreading.url.ph. Follow the URL I wrote or click on this link as well. I hope to see you there.

14 Days

It has been two weeks since the last time I actually updated this blog.

I have been a little busy with the book blog that I created. First, I created one under my domain, and then I realized that it would eat up a lot of my hosting space, so I decided to create a WordPress hosted book blog instead.

The blog has been driving me crazy the past week. Fortunately, there have been several other bloggers who have already happened to like my content and have started following the blog. I hope that trend continues to increase over time.

I will probably keep the subdomain i created for my first book blog. I like the domain http://books.ishabelle.com, but I just did not want to use up my hosting space with all the pictures I attach to each blog entry.

If you have time, check out my book blog http://theunendingreadinglist.wordpress.com. You’ll find a lot of books that you may be interested in reading.

To Lucky Firsts and New Beginnings

I am so happy to have finally made a decision to have a Chapter Two for my blog, Chocolate High.

For the past couple of years, I’ve been hot and cold on my WP blog. I have, in fact, neglected it for several months. It’s not because I did not want to write. It’s just I felt like most of the things I have blogged about before does not connect to the way my life’s running this time.

I am so thankful that God has blessed me with so much more than I have ever imagined. While it’s true that I have asked for more, I am speechless at the prayers that he answered from me.

Much has changed since I started Chocolate High. I’ve evolved, changed careers more than twice, grown up and traveled a lot. I am the same person as I have always been, but I look at things differently now.

I hope I get to maintain Chocolate High’s 2nd chapter as much as I did the first. I don’t expect a sudden rise in viewership and site popularity. For once, I am going to write a blog and not care if anybody reads it or not. I hope someone does, but it won’t hurt me if they don’t.

I want to say that all the struggles and hardships I ever went through don’t even come close to how sweet life has turned out to be after a couple of years. If anybody out there is going through some tough times right now, know that everything on earth passes. Joy and sorrow do not remain. Laughter and tears do not remain. What does remain is a man’s strength of character along with his faith to his God.
