I'm featured on the BLOGETTE
Hi my readers. It's been a hell of a week for me. Probably the silliest thing during the week was the nontroversy between a fellow blogger Carina and me. All I can say is, that it was really unfortunate. I totally misinterpreted her post, because it sounded so serious and I was baffled in that moment. But when I saw the harsh comments, I was suddenly compelled to write my side of the story. Well, now I wish I wasn't, but what can we do now, right?
Misunderstandings happen. But I acknowledged my part of the mistake, deleted my post and apologized and so did Carina. So now I really hope we can put this unfortunate event behind us and move on. I learned another valuable lesson, so all this wasn't in vain.
Today I checked my Google Reader again and I was pleasantly surprised. Carina started her Feature Friday series, where she promotes some blogs she likes and my blog is the first one in this series. You can read the post here. She wrote such a nice post about me and my blog, I really feel appreciated and humbled. I can only say thank you so much for the kindest words and for being introduced on your blog and my hope is that we can continue following each other like we did before the nontroversy. I tend to forget silly things like that very quickly. Hope you can, too.
Please check Carina's blog!
Have a nice weekend.

Of course I like it :P And no misunderstanding this time, hehe. I hope some of my female readers will go to your blog and follow you. Then we can say that our silly misunderstanding had some positive results :)

I learned lesson once too, and my rule is step back and think twice to ensure I got it all right. I am glad that all worked out between two of you, that's the way life should be. BTW I am coming from Carina.... Anna :)

Thank you!!! :)

Oh yeah... usually my motto is not to take things too seriously, but it all got messed up in my head, cuz i like Carina. If it's someone I don't care for, I'd not even respond. And I already had a bad day.. well, sometimes I'm just human and make a mistake. I just don't dwell on it, I move on quickly :) Thanks for dropping by, Anna :)

Thanks. As you know, I don't seek drama, it was just misunderstanding. So it wasn't a big deal :)
November 15, 2009 10:30 PM
yup misunderstandings do happen and luckily yours was cleaned up without much issue, it's the ones that don't get cleared up that are most depressing.

Yes, you're right. It happens in the best families :) I'd like to solve things like that fast. Lucky for me, this was the case here.

Like Carina, I thought you were a gal too when I first stepped on your blog. I think it's those female pics you put somewhere in the blog, that kept me attracted and coming back so often. =p

Oh no, not you, too?? :P Ok, now I'm really whatever! I'm from now on ambiguous, I will have 2 genders, will switch depending on my mood :P

I read about Carina's Feature Friday and you are very deserving. You really put in a lot of effort on your blog and not just that, you really try to reach out to your readers, plus you're not afraid to apologize for misunderstandings. We love ya sweetie. =)

What is a blogette, MKL?
The spat sounds like it was all resolved in a very mature and sensible manner. Many world leaders could learn from it.

Hmmm... I suppose I'm a bit too late and missed that particular post. Perhaps I should drop by more often.
