Olive Riley, considered the world’s oldest blogger, has passed away June 12 at the age of 108 in a Sydney, Australia nursing home. When I saw this news on yahoo, I immediately became interested about Olive and her two blogs, allaboutolive.com.au and worldsoldestblogger.blogspot.com. That picture above ( I got from her blog) is the one I liked most because her smile was so beautiful and contagious.
In her last blog entry dated June 26, she narrated how she sang the song Happy Days are Here Again, where she even posted part of the lyrics of the song, which goes:
Happy days are here again
The skies above are clear again
So let’s sing a song of cheer again
Happy days are here again
Isn’t Olive an inspiration to us all? Happiness doesn’t know any age - whether you’re 7 or 70 or 108 years old - we can and should always be happy! At 108, for sure she had passed through many ups and downs of life, but she preferred to see all the positive side of things - and ENJOYED HER LIFE!
I am not yet finished reading her two blogs, coz I always get the message: Due to overwhelming demand this page is currently not available… For sure, after the news of her death spread over blogosphere, thousands (or millions) fellow bloggers and internet savvy alike will be interested to know her and her life story.
Anyways, I think the other stanza of the Happy Song, which she also wrote in her last entry, truly fits her:
I want to be happy
But I can’t be happy
Till I make you happy too.
So thank you, Olive! Wherever you are, you are surely very happy coz you made us happy, too, by sharing us your life. Shouldn’t we all guys be like Olive? Like her, WE SHOULD ALWAYS STAY BEAUTIFUL AND HAPPY AND LIVE THIS LIFE TO ITS FULLEST!

It’s 20 past 5 am. Yup, I am already blogging this early. Actually, I was already up 4am. I was busy dropping entrecards last night while waiting for dear hubby to go online for some chat. But he didn’t go online so I went off to sleep and just set my celfone alarm to 4am.
Shhh, here’s a little secret since I was college: I didn’t have an alarm clock back then so everytime I need to study for exams or do assignments, I would usually ask my guardian angel (even though I don’t know the name til now) to wake me up at 2am or 3am so I could study. And yes, my angel never failed me! I always wake up around that exact time I asked him to wake me up!
The funny thing is, now that I have an alarm and even if I set it off to the time I wanted, but if I didn’t ask the help of my dear angel friend, I won’t even hear the alarm or even if I hear it, I will just turn it off and go back to sleep! You bet I asked my angel last night to wake me up so I am already up and about at 4am. Hubby sent me an sms that he overslept so he didn’t go online early, but we will catch up again later tonight.
Anyways, I would have finished my test papers (yes, not yet done!) and lectures for the day, but I just can’t help accomplishing the 300hits on entrecard and leave a few comments on some blogs. For the last 3 days, I am trying to drop 300 each each day coz for the last month or so, I was so busy at school (or just don’t manage my time well) and some other personal matters that I took my blogging for granted.
I have lots of ideas and no-nonsense worth blogging for last month but I kept on procrastinating. The semester has started this June and then it was coupled by some personal woes that I felt so tired, physically and emotionally, by the time I got home so I didn’t even open my laptop anymore to blog! Oh my, I only posted 2x in june! But now, after a lethargic month, I am having a fresh start and reviving my blogging career (LOLS!)
Ooops, it’s 5:47am - I have to start preparing for work and wake up the kids so they can have their breakfast before going to school. And before I forget,
GOOD MORNING! HAVE A NICE MONDAY MORNING TO EVERYONE 
!
