I Got a Blog Award

I had a long weekend, as you all know guys I am not blogging when it's rest day because I am trying to stay away from computers and I apologize I wasn't able to visit your blogs. 3 days of vacation really tempted me to jump on a computer, read your posts and leave my comment as well as to read the comments on my post too. It was a success, I was able to control myself and give myself enough rest (2 thumbs up for me).

As of today, I am following almost 50 blogs from people around the globe, from all walks of life with different experiences (cooking, mom, photos, and other stuffs) and I am visiting each and every one everyday and read all post. Believe me, when you followed a blog you like,  you will end up loving it and looking for new updates everyday because you are learning something from it and that's how people grow.

When I logged in today, I hurriedly read the comments on my blog additions post. I read each comment one by one and left a comment too, to thank my friends who left their comments about the new look and additions on my blog. I also got an award from NYC Island Gal. I was like a child who won tons of candies from a parlor game. 

My First Blog Award

CONFESSION: You know what really makes me feel happy? It's the excitement of logging in and read the comments of your friends who are reading your posts, that somehow you also shared something worthy of reading and that they learned something and new idea from it. THANKS FOR YOUR COMMENTS (teary eyed).

Blog Additions

Few days ago, there were some additions in my blog which I knew, you guys didn't notice much. I just realized that I should spice it a little bit to make it interesting somehow for the followers. I agree with TB that before we write for ourselves, but as soon as you get some followers you become more concerned with what you are writing because you are also writing for them. Aside from adding the "Confession" which will give you a birds' eye view of things and stuffs about me and the "Question" thing which will asked for your opinions, suggestions or advises, I am also planning to add a "Poll".

I also added my signature (bottom right) and the welcome picture on the sidebar. Thanks to Mads, my friend who is a graphics artist  who made the artworks for me.

Friday next week, I will start the "Friday Blessings" a post which will be entirely about the good stuffs and blessings in our lives.

Wishing you all a great weekend guys!

Thanks to my Blogging Friends

I was about to write a new post for today but I will do that plan tomorrow and would take this opportunity to thank all my followers who leave their comments on the previous post about Mama.
I was just quiet in the corner, reading your blogs and leaving my comments and planned not to write another post so that I could gather the thoughts from other followers who answered my question. I know if I would put my gratitude letter in the comment below yours, you would barely notice it. I just want to let you know guys that I really appreciate your suggestions and advises and they helped me a lot to regain my focus and go back to blogging again. Acknowledgement, gratefulness, gratitude, thankfulness, whatever you call it, I am thankful to everybody for giving me some bits of advises and I can say that I am now 50% to coming to a final solution.

My heartfelt gratitude to my blogging friends below:

1. TB of Year 31
2. Mishieru of Upsidedown
3. Island Gal of NYC Island Gal
4. Dionne of City of Dionne
5. Jessica of Kitchen Belleicious
6. Pam of The Thrifty Things
7. Coreen of Velvet Over Steel
8. Rachel of The Diary of a Dreamer
9. Betsy of Joyful Reflections
10. Janjan of Between Me and my Thoughts
11. Nathalie of Brooke in the Big City

My gratitude as well to all the other followers who followed me back. 

CONFESSION: I was teary eyed when I read your advises. I wasn't expecting it. Thanks :)

My Celebrity Boyfriend

I was browsing GMA's website looking for some interesting stuffs to do like to read blogs, watch videos, and look for photos and of course to switch the page to GMANews.tv to monitor the Election 2010 count. Then I saw this option at the top bar entitled "Fun Stuff". On that page you can answer a multiple question type of test so that you can check who is your celebrity boyfriend. Guess who's mine? It's DINGDONG DANTES. Check out who's yours, just follow this link Your answers will be matched on the character of the actor (most likely-I guess).
