AN AWARD!!!
++++++++++
Yey! I received a Beautiful Blogger award from Meream, whose arts & crafts skills I admire and wish to covet. When I discovered her blog, I've been inspired to do more recycling and be more creative, and learn to properly sew. :P Thanks, Meream!

And now, ze rules:

1. Thank & link the person that gave you the award.

2. Pass this award onto 15 bloggers you’ve recently discovered and think are fantastic.

3. Contact said blogs and let them know they’ve won.

4. State 7 things about yourself.

Since I haven't been discovering much blogs these days, I won't be passing the award around. I'll just let it sit until I discover new blogs. And, on to #4, my favorite, here are seven things about myself:

1) I don't own a pair of sneakers or rubber shoes. The last pair I owned I purchased because it was necessary for me to wear rubber shoes for Physical Education in college. I always think I look like Ronald McDonald when I wear sneakers/rubber shoes.

2) I take photographs obsessively. My camera(s) is my favorite accessory. I feel empty without one. I have seven cameras at hand, and use them alternately, or together.

3) I never splurge in clothes. I, 90%, buy my clothes from thrift stores. The 10% were given as gifts. I believe in splurging in shoes. Shoes are orgasmic. Shoes are looove. But I don't splurge in shoes. I wear the trusty and comfortable slippers and sandals 95% of the time.

4) My biggest splurges are films, food, and trips.

5) I always wish I am "properly" made-up all the time. But I'm not and I can't because I don't believe in wasting too much time making myself up.

6) I think I am baduy, but many people covet my closet.

7) I buy more books, and waste more films, than clothes.

Happy 101

I got this award from Betz and, along with this award I am supposed to list the 20 things that make me happy. I'll only list 10 things (lest I bore you with this blog). :)

1) My Family - I know it's so cliche, but my family makes me happy, sad, angry, but makes me happy 90% of the time. They have always been supportive of what I do and try to do. They also make me laugh and just let me be a child. My kid cousins and nephews also makes me happy.


2) My Boyfriend - Well, I need not expound. We met at a rather unexpected place (the toilet) and didn't realize our tables (in the office) were beside each other and we were facing each other all the time. He's not just a dependable superman, he's also one of the few people who can make me laugh all the time. I always have a great time when I am with him, and he takes really great photos of me and everything else. And it doesn't hurt that I find him sexy, and thinking about him makes me happy anytime of the day.


3) My SATC friends - They say friends are families, and I couldn't agree more. I have three friends that were my highschool classmates and they are my sisters. They are my inspiration -- being strongwilled and beautiful women.


4) Travels/New Places/Friendly Strangers - With the many trips I took over the years, I would be proud to say that politeness begets hospitality. Filipinos are hospitable people. And the Philippines is a beautiful country. I also aim to go out of the country and explore other beautiful spots but before I do that I have to make sure I have explored all of my country's beauty.


6) Film, and getting surprised by the photographs I took - Life, for me, is like a roll of film. (not a box of chocolates because I am not a chocoholic). You don't know what you'd get but getting unexpected beautiful photographs is happiness for me.


7) Thrifting, and scoring good finds at thrift shops - Of course. What I think is a really good buy from a thrift shop is one that I keep wearing (and feels great each time I wear it) and has been with me for several years. One of my friend, more than five years ago, gifted me with a green jacket with wool collar she bought for P10. Until this day, I still have that jacket and it still feels great every time I wear it.


8) The meals my mother and father prepare for us/Good food - My mother and father are good cooks. Both of them have their specialties but all of the food they cook come out delicious all the time. When I go home, I don't wanna go back to the city because of the meals my parents prepare for us. No matter how simple the dish is, it always is delicious. :)


9) Sitting in a cafe, alone, people watching - I can do this for hours. I get happy/peaceful looking out into the world, pretending I don't belong in it and is merely an observer.

10) Walking - Walking, for me, is the best exercise. I know swimming is probably the best exercise but I am not a good swimmer, so I'd settle for walking. I try to walk all the time so I don't miss out on anything. Walking also gives me time to reflect on things. And burns a lot of calories. That should make me happy. :)

Now, for the fun part, I am passing this award to some lovely people I met here on the blog. I want you to know that meeting you here was one of the happiest days in my life. I wish I'd get to meet you all in person. :)

2nd Blog Award!

From Adventures of a Pinay Neska.
Thank you, thank you! Wohoo!

Blog Award! Wohoo!

Ooohhh!! I received an award from Cuter Than a Button. I am so happy because I am not the person who gets lucky to receive regular awards. The last award I remembered was a second-place best in costume award during one of our previous company's Christmas parties; that was, what, four years ago? :)

Thank you so much, dear. :)
