Today marks the date I first opened my blog to the world … it’s Mariuca’s 1-yr Anniversary! Another happy moment for me after recently celebrating My 100th Post two days back so YAY! :)
Noticed the new header? I decided to give my blog a makeover so I turned to Emila of course. Despite her hectic schedule, she was kind enough to help me revamp my header and I simply LOVE it, thanks a million Emila! I’m proud to have this beautiful header here and I hope my blog will do justice to the magic you’ve added here with your creative touch!
Throughout the course of my one-year journey in the blogosphere, I've encountered many new people, experiences and discoveries; some wonderful, others not so much. Either way, I’d like to believe that they’ve all made me wiser, stronger and a better friend and blogger. I’d also like to say a big THANK YOU to all my friends and readers who have shown relentless support and love for Mariuca. Without you, I’d be completely lost. Thanks so much for all the love and the joy you've brought into my world. And now, join me if you will as we take a walk down memory lane to share some of the most memorable moments I had with you, right here at Mariuca. Good night and happy weekend! :)
2. I was featured by The Diva Network for a post that remains my favourite till today.
3. Adrian and I came up with the Magical Flying Carpet meme, which we’re both very proud of. Along with our Genie Buddy Emila, GP and GK would like to thank everyone who participated in the MFC!
4. I had my very first Mariuca Mug Contest, which saw Jesse as the happy winner!
5. It was A Great Pleasure for me to present the Mariuca Superstar Award to my friends. Created by B, this award is the first of more Mariuca awards I have in store for my loyal readers.
6. Emila made it to Genting, when she clinched one of the Top 5 spots for the All Malaysian Bloggers Project, so I was really happy to feature her here at my blog. Congrats Emila!
7. I became an aunt to a beautiful baby girl, Isabella!
8. My dear friend Janice lost her brother to cancer. It was a sad day for everyone and it was truly touching to see so many people showing love for Janice during her absence.
9. I almost lost the spirit to blog thanks to a certain incident that till today left me wondering how it all went awry.
10. I participated in NAFA’s Fight Against Child Abuse, one that I feel strongly for as it involves the murder of Nurin Jazlin.

Hi Marzie,
Happy 1st Blog Anniversary. U'r previous look was really good. i some how liked that previous look with all the ads & widgets towards the right hand side. now it is in left hand side.
not so impressive tht tht gal logo. & the colour combination.
you had made the blog open by invitation mode yesterday night i suppose.
i got frustrated & commented privately at myblog log.
don't know whether you read it.
if u felt bad abt my writting, then i'm really sorry...
but kindly let us know when ever u r going to do any such thing.
also kindly give me u'r mail id to my mail.
it took almost 20+ min to search & mail u the comment...
had to find emila & lady java's blogspot... which was bit tough for me to search & then from their link, i searched u'r my blog log...& then replied you...
so wht all i have done to speak to you...
hope u appreciate this tough effort of mine...
all the very best agian...
for the 1st anniversary
Happy 1st yr blog anniversary.
regards & luv,
Raghav.
Thanks Naz, I love my falling star too! :):):)
Jean!! Thanks for coming over to wish me yay! Oh yeah, I love my new header too and I'm very pleased with my new layout, everything seems neater. I have B to thank for my Award Gallery, he did a nice job for me!
Thanks so much for all your support and love. It has been a swell blogging year thanks to great friends like you! :):):)
Thanks Raghav, I'm sorry about last night. I changed my entire template and look for this blog in celebration of Mariuca's 1-yr anniversary and in order to maintain the element of surprise, I had to close my blog for a while. I needed to install all my widgets again so that took me some time. NO harm intended in any way, appreciate ur effort in trying to locate me for an explanation! :):):)
Congratulations!!! Look forwad to read more interesting blog posts coming our way.....
Thanks Odysseus!! Hope ul continue to visit my blog, have a great weekend to you! :):):)
Gone were the day where you have to write your own HTML :) HTML 4.1? and you see those pages display welcome to my homepage? or some test scripts displaying "hello world!"
Thanks to innovation of web and the fact that blogs was created has made all of us come closer by sharing and making more friends by reading. (ICQ, IRC is not so much famous these day - bummer)
Happy anniversary and keep blogging!
Cheers!
Thanks for visiting Netster! I'm so glad I never had to write my own html for stuff, that would have been a disaster LOL!
Have a great day to you! :):):)

GP! Well it comes from a magic fountain that has no source and actually floats like a well in mid air in that is suspended in a crystal clear container. And the water can only flow when I push a lever to release it! Cool or not!
Wifey says that its a mineral water dispenser but I don't believe her!!
LOL
Happy anniversary! Keep it up! You have been very busy, haven't you?
