It Pays to be Genuine :D

Honest_Scrap

***This award is bestowed upon a fellow blogger whose blog’s content or design is, in the giver’s opinion is brilliant.

It was a pleasant surprise to receive another blog award… The first one I failed to pass around because of uhhmmm, sheer laziness :D So this time around I am passing this one on to seven blogs that I have been frequenting for a while now.

Thank you very much Tetcha and Kayni for bestowing me with such an award, for our little home in the blogosphere ;)

The rules:

When accepting this auspicious award, you must write a post bragging about it, including the name of the misguided soul who thinks you deserve such acclaim, and link back to said person so everyone knows he or she is real.

Choose a minimum of 7 blogs that you find brilliant in content or design. Or improvise by including bloggers who have no idea who you are because you don’t have 7 friends. Show the 7 random victims’ names and links and leave a harassing comment informing them that they were prized with “Honest Weblog.” Well, there’s no prize, but they can keep the nifty icon. List at least ten honest things about yourself. Then, pass it on!

Here’s 10 random honest things about me.

  1. I always wanted to be a soldier, an FBI or a CIA agent. Applying for the Philippine Military Academy was out of the question with my folks back then, so it never happened.
  2. I daydream while listening to Paula Abdul, Madonna and Duran Duran ever since I was 10.
  3. I talk in my sleep sometimes… (Ask D, he says I even reply back).
  4. I love to eat with my hands.
  5. I find Linda Hamilton sexy when she came out Terminator 2 with awesome looking deltoids and biceps.
  6. I eat pasta doused with balsamic vinegar, cheddar cheese and some brown sugar. I’ve been eating this concoction since 1991. One of my comfort foods.
  7. I always have a scissor, a swiss knife or a Gerber on hand.
  8. I take my tea with milk.
  9. I collect Archie Comic Digests.
  10. I take a whiff of Sky’s soiled diaper before tossing it in the trash bin… :D

And I bestow this award to the following:

  1. PinayWAHM – Juliana shares her everyday living and thoughts as it is.
  2. Balut & Natto – Funny conversations between Garando and is Japanese wife.
  3. A Resounding Yes – A blog I recently discovered. Authored by our valedictorian in high school. Excellent writer.
  4. Confessions of a Snowflake – Alicia never ceases to see the power of God in everyday.
  5. Mai da Paypay – Mai loves to share organic recipes and advocates ways to save the earth as well.
  6. Serendipity – ALWAYS gives me goosebumps after every read. Great storyteller.
  7. Pamatay Homesick – An OFW in Kuwait, always in a good mood. Funny and creative guy.

    WOW! My very first award! I am so honored, I don’t know what to say…

    I’d like to thank Garandee for my hair & make up, My 90 yr old grandma for all the support, and all my sponsors who made this possible: Lipa buko juice, Mamy Poko quality adult diapers, and Pugon the original bromate-free pandesal.

    My biggest thanks goes to you, Gigi for the recognition and for regularly visiting my blog!

    I’m such a newbie to blogging I was relieved to see the instructions that came with the award. I didn’t know what to do at first. hehe…
