An Award and 7 Things About Me

I have to say, I missed receiving tags. Luckily, somebody remembered to tag me today and because I missed the fun of tagging others and giving some link love, I am playing along and responding right now.

But before I forget, let me thank Jona of Heartifying for sending this tag my way and for the Stylish Blogger Award. I don't know why she thought me deserving of this award, but the thought alone is very much appreciated.

Like any other tag and award, there are rules so that it will be passed on to others and will in turn, create link love. It's simple though:

1. Link back and thank the person who gave you this award. (check!)

2. Then share 7 things about yourself.

1. I am obsessive-compulsive.

2. I am easily distracted by the Internet.

3. I love to cook but I am sometimes too lazy to cook.

4. I usually like to keep to myself.

5. I love coffee. I always drink at least one cup.

6. I truly adore my little girl although I am trying my best not to give in to what she wants.

7. I always find it hard to say NO, especially to my loved ones.

3. Award 15 great bloggers that you know.

Since I haven't been very active in the blogging world lately, I might not reach the required 15. 

First, I would like to tag the Couchers who have been with me every Tuesday for my movie meme, Tuesday Couch Potatoes:

Les of Mommy LESsons

Genny of Life Is A Battle

Kim of Earth and I

Liz of My Thoughts, My Words

Lulu of Bitz 'N Pieces of My Life

Shydub of Worth's World

Trish of The All Around Mom

Bonz of Pink Clash

Claire of Bookworm on the Loose

Shahz of Sissy's Pastime

Chris of Chris Chronicles

Chuchie of Chuchie's Hideaway

And to old friends reconnected and new friends met along the way:

Cookie of All About Chloe and Zoe

Phoebe of Pinay Mama

Alice Law of My Little Sprouts

I Belong...

Marce Pehpot's invitation that I be one of Sati's godmothers opened up lots of opportunities for me to network with other wonderful and fabulous Mommy bloggers. It also made me feel like I have a home in the blogniverse that I can truly say "I BELONG HERE"... thanks to this sisterhood that is popularly known as the MARCE CLUB. It is no surprise then that I get so many link love and visits, well wishes and encouraging words from them, be it publicly or privately.

Another perk of being part of the MARCE CLUB? You get wonderful awards such as this:


Thanks Marce Seiko for this beautiful award. The gift of the Marce Club's spirit of sisterhood is more than enough for me to survive the blogniverse. I am just so blessed to have you known you guys, albeit virtually.

To all my other Marces, this one goes to you guys!

Happy 101

A great way to start the month is receiving wonderful awards from wonderful friends. Marce Kaye of WAHMAHOLIC left me a message in my shoutbox telling me that she has something for me. I was so happy to see that it was this AWARD. Thanks dear... you are so thoughtful. And I must say, being a member of the Marce Club has its perks. Like this... and lots of link love. Hehe!

Anyway, here is the award:

What are the ten things that make me HAPPY?

• Being able to witness my little Samantha grow every single day
  
• Being married to the man who has always made me happy and has never ceased to amaze me
  
• The realization that I AM LOVED by my family
  
• Watching the sunset with my Hanhan
  
• Road trips with the family
  
• Lots of online opps
  
• Meeting new friends online and offline
  
• Hearing the snore of my two loves, knowing that they are sleeping soundly
  
• A mug of hot chocolate or coffee
  
• Chatting with my family back in the Philippines
  

As for me, I have always believed that HAPPINESS is a CHOICE. That's why no matter the circumstance, I always choose to be HAPPY.

Now, I would like to pass this award on to these blogs that always leave me feeling happy:
Jhownie's Haven
Kikit Avenue
On Ne Sait Jamais
Sweet Nothings
All About Elizabeth
Seiko's Diary
Kizuna
Yena's World

Five Bloggers You'll Meet in Heaven

I would like to start the week right by posting this award I received from Chris of The Mommy Journey. This is a very nice award Chris and I am much honored to be given such. Thank you.

If you are familiar with the works of Mitch Albom, author of Tuesdays with Morrie, then the words "Five Bloggers You Meet in Heaven" will be ring a bell.

There are no random acts... We are all connected... You can no more separate one life from another than you can separate a breeze from the wind...
---(The Five People You Meet In Heaven)

Now, selecting the five bloggers will be a hard task considering I love reading more than five blogs. So here's my five picks, blogs whose authors are wonderful people and who I may, or may not meet in my lifetime. :D

Ria of It's My Party (and I'll Cry if I Want To)
Enchie of Sweet Nothings
Clarissa of Kizuna
Mira of Random Thoughts
Beth of All About Elizabeth

The rules are easy for passing on this award:

1) Attach the award to your blog post
2) Copy and paste the famous quote from The Five People You Meet In Heaven somewhere in the post
3) Please identify the creator of the award (Andrea from Memories As A Mom), and link to the person who sent it to you.
4) Send this to five of your blogger friends to show your appreciation!

It's Raining AWARDS!

It comes with the usual rules:
1. Pass it on to at least one other blog but the more the better.
2. Never ever tell anybody who gave it to you. (Link backs not allowed)
3. Make a nice acceptance speech.

My acceptance speech:
"I really do not think that my blog is a prestigious one but thanks for the honor. I gladly accept this award, thankful that someone has recognized the hardwork and love that I put into it. Should I cry now? Sniff! Sniff! Really, I am honored. Thank you! Thank you!"

-----------------------------------

Sincerest Thank you's to Ate Chris of The Mommy Journey for showering me these awards! The cold, rainy days are here again and I miss the sunny weather. But this shower of awards surely made things look brighter and warmer.

"You can see this box of chocolates is filled with different and unique candies and just like the chocolates we are all different and unique people. We are the same in that we all have common ingredients that make us more alike than not. Except for the frosting, which represents our personalities, we are indeed very similar on the inside.”

And of course there are rules:
1. That you must pass this award to others.
2. Link back to me when you have passed them forward.
3. Write a nice post about this award.
4. You must read this award with a southern accent. I call it southern day where we all have to speak with a southern accent. I know that will be hard for some of you, but for the rest of us, we will be fine. So now, ya’ll just enjoy this little ol’ award and have fun with it.
5. And of course let your folks know that they have a nice award waiting for them.

For those receiving this award it is bestowed on to blogs that are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers. Deliver this award to six bloggers who must choose six more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award.

Now I would like to pass the Just Another Prestigious Internet Award, Honesty Award, Blogger Buddie Award, Box of Chocolates, and Circle of Friends Award to:

Kaye of WAHMaholic
Ate Beth of All About Elizabeth
Niko of Niko's Blog
Shydub of Worth's Road
Ate Rose of Rose's Obstacles and Glories
Mommy Seiko of Seiko's Diary

He just promise it would be worth it.
Today is sister's day.
To the cool women that have touched my life.

I am a Taurian and the quiz says that: I Am A Trouble Maker!

Hahahha! This one made me laugh...

You have the type of personality that people either love or hate.
You're opinionated, dramatic, intense, and very outspoken.
And some people can't get enough of you - they're totally addicted.
Others, well, they wish you were a little more reserved.

Your strength: Your flair (Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps.)
Your weakness: If you think it, you say it (WRONG! I have the tendency to keep to myself.)
Your power color: Scarlet red (I dunno. The red color is more of a curse color for me. The car that hit me was RED!)
Your power symbol: Inverted triangle (I don't know about this...)
Your power month: March (March is usually the month for graduations. Gets?)
Blogthings: Take a Quiz. Annoy Your Friends.
