And, I am back! Did you miss me? Is someone reading this? :) I've been in a hiatus for a while because I had to deal with "life" for the past month but I have to have this post to thank you all for visiting my page regularly, or even those who just google things and ending up reading my blog cause heelsandjeeps.blogspot.com officially hit 10,000 views (and counting!).

Actually, that number is not that big compared to other blogs but for me who really enjoys sharing some of my thoughts and end up having those views without even the need to is such an accomplishment.
