MIA on Facebook


It's Sunday, now I can sit down and post something in my blog. Writing is not my passion, but I still want to blog if I have time. I have not been blogging and face booking recently.  It's because  I'm hooked on Instagram :).  My daughters introduced me to Instagram and I'm loving it. 

I found my passion and this is where I am spending most of my free time.  Since I can only manage one social networking site because of busy sched, I decided to choose Instagram over FB (sorry FB friends). This is where I belong :).  I am not leaving facebook. My account is still active but I am no longer active on FB as before.  I am on twitter and I do still tweet. You can find my updates on twitter @itsmeglo_gee, but you need to follow me on twitter because my account is private.

Why do I love Instagram?  Instagram is the best social networking site for photo enthusiasts like me, the best social networking site to meet new friends from all over the world.  I found new friends on Instagram.  I enjoy interacting with them because we share the same passion and we speak the same IG language.  It's really fun, enjoyable, and addictive... my stress reliever :). I now have 1000 plus followers. I started with less than 20 followers last March 2013.  More than 200 of my photos have been featured since I started joining feature pages and photo challenges last April.  I'm so overwhelmed :))).

I just want to share my photo entry for the 'happiness' photo challenge by @jj_captureinspiration.  It was just a one day challenge. I was too lazy to look for photos in my files so I decided to try something different. I created this photo using my smiley refrigerator magnets that I bought at 100 yen shop. I assembled the magnets, took a pic, and put the word 'happiness'. Good thing I have enough smiley magnets. This photo was featured twice, first by @jj_captureinspiration and the second was by @jj_editor_simirani for jj forum 'yellow and white' theme.   

If you want to see more of my pics,  follow me on Instagram @glo_gee.

Moving Soon :(

I have installed the blogger app to my iPad mini and now I'm writing this post using my iPad mini :). It's already August, only 3 months left in our apartment in East Court 10 before we move to our temporary house in Entente. We will stay in the tempo house for 2 months since we need to pack all our belongings to be shipped to Singapore, then we will move to Singapore end December. I don't have the exact date yet, but most likely Dec. 30. Thinking about this makes me feel sad :(. Kobe Japan has been my second home for almost 7 years. I love everything about Japan, the country, culture, people, and everything. I will definitely miss Japan. I'm so thankful to God for giving me and my family the opportunity to experience a blessed and wonderful life here in Japan.

Singapore, here I come!
