Our Year in Business
This past weekend we celebrated our one year anniversary. We can’t believe it’s already been a year since bernos came to life. In honor of this benchmark we wanted to share some of bernos milestones.
A year ago, we never would have thought we could write anything interesting enough that would draw an audience beyond our friends and family. We started the blog and soon found a voice and a passion that we hardly knew existed. Bernos would by no means have gotten to where it is without the bloggers who have welcomed us, challenged us, inspired us, and continue to give us the courage to try new things.
To top it, we’ve made wonderful friends through the simple act of writing down what we think…that’s Amazing to us!
So looking back we found these blogs we wanted to highlight…here is a rundown of our year in blog.

The bernos barty
As you know this past weekend we also had barty to celebrate our birthday! We started the party on Friday and had a blow out of SATURDAY and some continued the party till Sunday!!!
I was amazed by the turnout. bernoswoch from all over showed up. I was also delighted to Ethio Jazz, Oreo, Wudnesh, Zeraf, In2ution, and Alibaba to mention a few. We were finally able to put a face to a name. Those of who were there know the music rocked!!!
We bartied and bartied…and of course we have some pictures to prove it. Again, thank you everyone for your support and here is to another great bernos year!!! So with no further or due…the bernos anniversary pictures.

Thanks for a wonderful year Bernosoch. The party was great. Hey Dawit you forgot to give Teferi and Markos a hand for their excellent pick in the DJ. Also, a big thank you to the readers of the blog and for their unbiased comments.
It was really wonderful to meet DawitK and Meron for the first time.
Mesam yemiwedew lij is non other than Nolet, Smokes’ younger brother.
EJ,
Which one are you? My wild guess? You are the one with the millenium shirt.
Betam Yameral! Thanks for sharing.
Noles, the one in the Bekila shirt has to be little bro. He is Cute.

Jazzy, said Nolet… look through the pictures…

Wow, looks like a great party. I am proud of you guys. Make sure to continue to be creative on everything you do. Hope I will be able to catch next year’s party. much love.
Really nice photo’s it looks like everyone had a good time. I noticed a lot of folk were in a huggy, feely mood.
The opening photo is really nice. You guys look great but what’s up with DK…no smiles.
Is it me or does everyone in Nolawi’s family got dimples. His sis…dimples, Nolawi….dimples, now lil bro….dimples lol
Dawit has this thing whenever the photo is about to be taken he gets all serious.. you know… its kinda interesting.. I mean kinda you know a pose…!
he is gonnna kill me for saying this,,,
Looks like everybody was having a blast. You guys sure know how to throw a party.
Meron, you look so gorgeous on the above pic.
Thanks guys…as to Nolawi’s comment, I actually wasn’t ready for the pic when she took it. All and all it was a great weekend and we all had a blast. Anyway I just updated a few more picture for you to see which I think some of you will find interesting…:-)Sorry Meron
Congrats on a noteable year. It looks like y’all had a great time at the Bernos Party.

Come on no excuses all your poses look the same. You were in the “I’m cool doing the strike a pose” mode, in all of them.
thank you thank you celebrate… He has a pose and he goes into it.. right before anybody takes a shot…
the only thing left is the I am too sexy song in the background!
CONGRATS! Nol and all the Bernos good looking family. looking b-e-a-utiful.
Looks less crowded on the pics. BeTam bizu sew neber on the Sat. night Heritage party. Funny I see some ’sekrew’aschegari yeneberu sewoch on the photos. arif neber….but y wasn’t the AC on really?
Nolawi how can you miss the guy, beTam beTam sew yissimal. Tadilachu, I wish I had a friend like that. Is he really Nyala’s bro? Endale sweetnetun kebetssebu essu wesdotal malet newa? I kid Nyala.
Ye Nolawin bro beteamir messat ayitchalim.
Jazzy ?! I would have sworn the guy in the black T (with the ETh. flag & smtg ‘Jah’ yemil yalew)was ETJazz. But Heineken yizual. Wrong. Then the tall guy in forest green (essu demo messaqina, metchefer kelibu yemiwedew new) but he looks drunk. That shot couldn’t get him this happy. So I’m thinking the guy in the brown striped ‘Polo’ shirt (with Meron)has to be him.
Ye Dk style ena pose, PA PA PA, bicha new yemibalew. You can tell from his jacket that’s very style conscious. Yessu…..I’m too sesky for this jacket…too sesky for this picture….too sesky for this barty, yeah new. Of course sesky being 10 X sexy. I really, really love the style. Serious. Ye ferensay wey Tilyan new enji ye americam aymessil.
Lela PA PA PA ye Beshu hairdo. Very nice. How come BG was not at the party isn’t she in that area.
Congratulations and happy 1st Birthday foundrs of Bernos!!

Nice picks.

hahaha, thanks liliye! and thanks to everyone that came out and made it a success!!
Ayee lilye, SBS, just too funny
Wude, Noles brother looks so much like him. You must have imbibed a little too much if you couldnt tell
Lilye, your comment sums up the photo album. That was funny pa, pa, pa.
Great Party it was fun, WHEN IS THE NEXT ONE? but how could it be a one year anniversary? and you guys have been operating over a year and a half, it shows this in the archives. Maybe the t-shirts debut a year ago, ???
Wudisha, you must have had quite some non-cranbery shots. As I would have hugged him thinking he was Nolawi (just the hair could have confused me. Yes Nolawi Tikur yamribihal.
I forgot this Wude, ahun esti man yimut, how can you put the wooden shoes wearing Sweds with the french or Telian.
in the same sentence.
lol liliye….algebashim mAlet neww….inema ke-ageru yAmetaw yihonal ke-amerika kalhone biye neww
Nice WORK !
The lady with the light blue “Amarigna” T-shirt is definietly an eye-stealer from a man’s POV:-) Her smiley eyes sums it up! ..wonder if it is nature or the marketing field that nurture and owe it to her this way..or is it just me.
if it was my will, i would have given her the name ASRAT. Asrat was one of the fascinating ethiopian girl i have ever seen in Highschool with stunning smile and friendliness. she was infectious. almost everyone was infected by her smile and warmthness. This blue shirt dresser reversed time…and banged my memorical chord of her. the smiley eyes, the grace, the warmthness. ..just felt it on the lifeless cathode screen.
everybodyelse was looking great as well w/ loads of fun.
wow that is meron!
Thanks bro! … Ooopsie..didn’t know it was Meron! Even if I had had, i’dn’t ‘ve stopped from saying what I have said. it is sincere. Kelib YeFeleQe..Fisssses yale :-)..
Thanks for providing those of us who were not able to attend the party with some neat pictures!! Kudos to you Bernos! (for a successful year)
why didn’t you come meronK?
anyways everyone said it was a great party,… and boy that is a relief…maybe they are just saying that to me…. it was stressful for me?
Is it just me or is Nolawi very very handsome, easy on the eyes.
He is funny, creative, smart.
Wow such an amazing guy in almost every way. The only thing is that you tend to generalize a bit.. other than that you are perfect.
