Just the way it is...

For the first time in 2 years I have received an award from such a thoughtful blogger in the person of An. I went back and forth to her page to see if my blog was linked to hers but after scrolling up and down over a few times, I can't seem to find any. Although I remember I once hopped to her page I just can't recall if I happened to ask for a link exchange.

Anyway, isn't it just too kind of her to have thought of someone who isn't even on her links? It is what made this award extra special so a million thanks to you An.

The Neno’s Award Rules and Regulations:

1. As a dedication for those who love blogging and love to encourage friendships through blogging.
2. To seek the reasons why we all love blogging.
3. Put the award in one post as soon as you receive it.
4. Don’t forget to mention the person who gives you the award.
5. Answer the award’s question by writing the reason why you love blogging.
6. Tag and distribute the award to as many people as you like.
7. Don’t forget to notify the award receivers and put their links in your post.

Why I love blogging? For one I find it beneficial in some ways... intellectually, socially and somehow financially. Two, it is fun. It takes you anywhere and blogging lets you discover new things, meet new friends and learn different lifestyles.

I think it is simply cool when one has the ability to blog. Not everyone has a fair opportunity to do it so lucky we are who do!

Tagging Lynn, Anna, Ria, Darly, Gene, Hailey and Jenny.

It's been a long while since this blog last received the best blog award. This has been circling around the blogosphere for like 2 years now as far as I can remember. Glad to know that it is still alive and continue to inspire the blogging community.

Obviously what you're seeing below is another blog award and I gotta post it as promised before I ran out of time. It's from my chic blogging buddy Ann of Sassy Chick World. This is actually a call for a celebration because it's her main blog's first year (cheers!) which is why she's giving away this 100% Sassy Blogger award to whom she thinks are deserving and it's so nice to know I am one of the recipient of such a wonderfully made badge.

The word "sassy" describes the author herself... Click the image to find out how such a sweet name has came to life.

Of course I'm not just gonna keep this to myself. I have lots in my list whom I think are sassy bloggers too and they are in no particular order:

Liza, Lynn, Badet, Lis, Lainy, Sheng, Ria, Amy, G-Anne, Niko, Yena and Shy. Go Sassy ladies!

The first two here are from the ever so generous Lynn and the awards has some posting rules here. One of which is to pass it on to 15 newly discovered blogs but sad to say, I really don't have much new acquaintances for I get too lazy to hop lately :-( But still thanks to rule #1... hahaha!


No, but seriously I appreciate the gesture of kindness. These are wonderful awards. It's been quite a while since I last receive an award here so to me this really means a lot.

While this one's from a new and a year old mommy who just brought herself back to the online world. One of the first few blogging buddies of mine, Darly. Thank you, sis. I'm glad you made it your way back despite your busy mommy life now.

So, now it's my turn to spread and share and I wanna pass all three awards to Rocks, Lisa, G-Anne, Gles, Liza, Cecile, Ria, Amy and Lena. Take it away, ladies... naks!

Have a great brand new week, everyone!

... my blog is!

Really? Thank you Ms. Lynn for keeping your awards and surprises on the background. Still badly needing that makeover, tho. I appreciate the suggestion but will still have to look for it. Thank you again for this pretty little badge below.

This goes out to Lisa, Amy, Cecile, Sam and G-Anne. Thanks for your friendship ladies. Enjoy your weekend!

Thank you Lynn for the never ending gesture of kindness and generosity. Short messages, tags and awards like this reminds and motivates me to never cease and carry on no matter how lazy to blog I get at times.
"WHY I LOVE BLOGGING?"
Again, for the _th time, I wanna say that there were few instances that I thought of quitting for some... well selfish and baseless reasons. But the more I look at each page, the more it made me think twice. Maybe because I still love doing it after all.

Here are the rules for this meaningful award:

Below are the two most recent awards I received from two responsive and thoughtful fellow bloggers, Gles and Nisha respectively.These are only but 2 small pieces of a thing but obviously they tells a lot.

Thank you so much to you both!


Now it's my turn to say you too are smart and a certified queen of blogs: Lynn, Elaine, Lisa, Rocks and Sheng.

Nisha... thank you so much for this triple award... and again, my apology for posting it a bit delayed.


This second tag here from Eds asked me to write down 10 weird, random thoughts, habits and/or little known facts about myself... You're right sis... I should keep moving now too :D

so let's get it started:

1. I'm broke! (inside and out)
   
2. Would love to start working out again.
   
3. Thinking of getting a driving lesson (from last night's thought with a friend)
   
4. Miss watching movies.
   
5. I worry a lot so this time I'm trying to convince myself not to get too emotional.
6. Love my sister so much... wish she knew it :-<
7. A news writer/reporter, turned into a teacher, a USAID foundation correspondent, a car company administration staff, a blogger, a bar tender and now back to being a full time blogger. umm... and being lousy, I guess :-?
   
8. Inner Circle: my new favorite group. They play reggae music.
9. Love the bar tending experience... I know now how to make cocktail drinks, whew!...it's fun... love it!
10. Still miss playing pool.

There you go... It took me a while to complete it but thanks heaven I did :-)
Thank you so much, ladies. Now I wanna hear from Lynn (sis you may post the triple award to your other sites), G-Anne, Rhea, LingZ and Winnie.

Another awards here for me from my dear friend Lynn. Big thanks to you sis.

I guess being a Wondah Woman is what I am trying to be like now, hahaha... Hopefully it's all worth it. And oh, I'm not quitting blogging yet, although I maybe having a little hard time coping up with my new job's schedule but I'm still trying to put everything in place. I treasure blogging so much and like I said, I haven't found any reason to give it up just yet.

I'm sharing this beautifully made cart of lemonade free of charge to Edelweiss, Eunice, Joy, Ria, Rocks, Rosa, Gles, Hailey, Kate, and Michelle. CHEERS ladies!

It nice to be back here after a few days of being l**y... shame, shame, shame, lol! I just don't understand why am being such a sleepy head lately. My bed is getting more and more tempting everyday that even the "siesta" which I actually don't do before, hala! nagagawa ko na. Gone are the almost round the clock blogging. Before I can stay up as late as 3am... what is happening to me? Am i getting bored? or am I getting tired of what I do everyday? NO, it can't be... I know this is what I love to do... I knew it because, I still get brainsick every time my ISP interrupts my connection like they did yesterday. Now that it's back I need to do lots of making up. And I really do mean of doing if not all, at least some or most of my tasks that needs to get done today.

Sigh! still wishing for that 48 hours in a day, lol!

Anyways, before moving further, I would like first to make way for these two awards from two of my nicest friends here in the blogosphere.

Starting of with Lainy of Lainy's Musings for counting this blog as one of her favorites. Thank you so much.

And to Lynn of Lynn's Chic Spot for this sisterhood award below.

Hmm... two smart bloggers... comes from the same place... speaks the same lingo and shared me the same pink awards, lol! Thank you so much sisters for this very encouraging gestures of oneness and friendship.

This time, I'm passing both awards to Liza, Marie, Rocks, Ria, Hailey, Sheryl and Thea. I hope you guys have fun and enjoy the rest of your Friday!

Mommy Liza of Moms... Check Nyo and A Simple Life passed me this tag and award but I have to be away here yesterday kaya ngayon ko lang na post. She's one of the first few people I have virtually known in this community. She'd been so kind to have complemented this page of mine by loading it with bunch of awards and I just can't thank her enough.
:-)

I've seen this pretty thing hopping around from one page to another. Now she finally found a resting place here in my home... Thanks to my dear friend Lynn for sending me this lovely award!!


Let me break the rule of this award this time... I believe each blog here has it's own uniqueness and style so I am therefore sharing this to all! Even if you don't feel like grabbing it... it's yours!

Have a fantastic weekend you all!

I remember I already have received this award some time before. Our friend Dez is in great emotional dilemma lately but then she still managed to share some happy thoughts to her friends so I don't wanna miss posting this one for the second time. Thank you so much mommy... There's always a rainbow after each storm!

I love the blogs of these people and I'm glad to pass this award onto them! All they need to do is to leave the following message on their post when they pass the award on to their chosen eight bloggers.

Hi Lynn... I simply love the way you remember me. Before I'm gonna share this to anyone, I am passing back the thought of this tag to you. I love roaming at your blog too. Thanks for sharing this one sis. I love it!

Nisha: Hi Nancy.. sorry for not coming here often dear.. my pc is very slow.. but i have an award for you which is not a tag, its a special award meant only for blogger friends:) Hope you enjoy it:)


Oh, I really do Nisha... I have read the related post for this award. You're simply kind and great. I truly appreciate your effort. Thanks a lot!

These 2 are my enduring visitors and even if we haven't met in person yet for me they're not just my virtual friends coz I have found comfort in them especially in sharing common thoughts and experiences. There maybe infinite number of people you may find whom you can call a virtual friends in this community but you can count on for only a few whom you are comfortable to talk to by heart wherein distance don't seems to be a drawback. Thank you Sheng and Lynn. You two are great!
