Honest Scrap Award

Thanks Issa for remembering me even if I haven't been around that much.

Honest Scrap Award Rules:

1. In sum, choose a minimum of Seven (7) Blogs that you find Brilliant in Content or Design to pass on this Award.
2. Then list at least 10 honest things about yourself.


10 THINGS ABOUT ME YOU MAY OR MAY NOT KNOW:

1. I am good at memorizing lyrics.
2. Sinigang is my favorite dish.
3. I can eat a half-gallon ice cream in one sitting..alone!
4. I'm a "scissors" person. I'm not comfortable using the cutter.
5. Dead Poets Society inspired me to become a writer. I started writing poetry after watching this movie.
6. I'm a fan of Side A since 1991.
7. I used to collect chocolate wrappers and then use them to write letters to friends.
8. I am a Morning Rush fan. I've been listening to Chico and Delamar since my highschool days. (Refer to the date in #6, hehehe)
9. I am a Born Again Christian and I love how God has made me realize that we should learn to know Him in the way He wants to be known.
10. I read a lot of blogs and visit a lot of sites but don't always find the energy to leave messages (Sorry =< )

This is so late. Please feel free to snag it. But my seven blogs would be Mec, Tna, Rocks, Irmee, Donna, Jen and Joanne.

Love Ya Award

This one is long overdue and most people are probably done with this. If you happen to pass by here, you're free to snag this one.

Thanks to Issa for this award. And for passing by every now and then as well :)

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 eight bloggers who can choose eight more and include this text into the body of their award.

Fab Award

Thanks Tna for telling me that my blog is fabulous!

Let me see, together with this award, I'd have to list down 5 of my addictions.

Yikes! Let me see if I can narrow it down to just five:

1. ICE CREAM.

Just the mere thought of it makes want to have one now.I think our son actually got my addiction to ice cream while my husband is (I think) starting to get addicted as well. (READ: Espresso Brownie Blizzard by DQ)

2. SINIGANG.

Yes. I can eat sinigang 24 by 7.

3. WRITING.

I believe it's more than an addiction. It's a passion. I actually dream of publishing my collection of poems, essays and short stories.

4. PICTURES.

I love pictures. I certainly believe that picture do paint a thousand words. I'd choose picture over videos anytime.

5. SONGS.

It's my addiction particularly because I have a gift when it comes to memorizing lyrics and remembering tunes. If I may add my addiction to SIDE A (still have a ticket of their first big concert at Payanig sa Pasig way back 1992!) as well.

I'm passing this to other fabulous bloggers: Irmee, Pat, and Rocks.

Lemonade Stand

Thanks Joanne! Happy that I'm still remembered despite the not so frequent postings.

1. Put the logo on your blog.
2. Be sure to link your nominess in your post
3. Let them know that they received this award by commenting on their blogs.
4. Share the love and link to this post.

Sharing the love to my sisters: Jenny, Issa and Rocks.

Weird things about me

Tagged by Jeng. Hmmm...missed doing these stuff. *Sigh*

Rules are rules. To tag along: you have to list 7 weird things about yourself, post it in your blog, tag at least 7 people (list their names), and comment on their blog to let them know that you just tagged them.

1. I am partly an obsessive compulsive. I even declare certain days as my "ococ" (that's how I term it) day and start cleaning, rearranging, organizing stuff even if they are not really messed up.

2. I know a lot of songs -- lyrics, tune and singer. I always have a hard time choosing songs when going on videoke bars simply because I know almost all of the songs and I want to sing something new. (I know, weird! )

3. I can eat sinigang forever.

4. I can finish a half-gallon ice cream in one sitting --- even with no one helping me.

5. I have thing crazy fear whenever traveling that I might leave stuff behind. So, as always, I make a list of the things I brought and make sure that I check on my things before going to sleep. (Hmmm...ococ moves?)

6. For someone who is in such a small frame, I have a very loud voice. (Tried and tested)

7. When I am very angry, I speak in straight english!

Tagging nancy, Eds, Happy, Jacque, Pat, Mari and Anna.

Flowers for me

Thanks to Pat for this one. My first tag after a long while....
This tag is all about “FRIENDSHIP OFFERING” with someone whom you know, to someone whom you already knew or will know in the future, globally.

::: Start copying here:::
here are the rules for this tag;
1. copy the badge and put it on your blog
2. link back who pass you this tag
3. spread this tag to at least 7 or more bloggers who you think you are friends with.

”And lovely are the blossoms
That are tended with great care,
By those who work unselfishly
To make the place more fair.
And, like the garden blossoms,
Friendship’s flower grows more sweet
When watched and tended carefully
By those we know and meet.
And, if the seed of friendship
Is planted deep and true
And watched with understanding,
Friendship’s flower will bloom for you.”

I think I'm friends with Jenny, Kathycot, carla, Rocks, Manel, Sweetpea and Irmee. It's been awhile but I hope you still remember me sisters :)

Propagating friendship award

Thanks jeng for this award.

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.They all are charmed with the blogs, where in the majority of its aims are to show the marvels and to do friendship; there are persons who are not interested when we give them a prize and then they help to cut these bows; do we want that they are cut or that they propagate? Then let's try to give more attention to them! So with this prize we must deliver it to 8 bloggers that in turn must make the same thing and put this.

I'm passing this to Issa, Leira, Mec, Jenny, Rocks, avee, tna and Pat.

Colorstrology

Joanne gave me this tag I think a week ago. I'm doing this in line with my birthday week.

I'm celebrating this Wednesday, September 24.
MY BIRTHDAY MONTH: SEPTEMBER
Color: Baja Blue
Character: Divine, Discerning, Artistic

MY BIRTH DATE: 09. 24
Color: Cornflower Blue

Character: Romantic, Emotional, Musical
Profile: LOVE is very important to you as is the need to connect with others. You are highly romantic and function best when you are in a healthy relationship. Although you can be emotional, you have a keen mind and a sharp wit. Harmony and a happy home and family hold great comfort for you. Your personal color resonates with clarity. Wearing, meditating or surrounding yourself with Cornflower Blue lends discrimination to your ability when choosing partners and close associates.

Let see the colors of Kathycot, Donna and Can.

We need friends to remember us once we have passed
sharing memories that will always last.

Bookmark Tag

An interesting tag from Joanne.

Rules:

1. Pick up the nearest book of 123 pages or more. No cheating!
2. Find page 123.
3. Find the first five sentences.
4. Post the next three sentences.
5. Tag as many people as you want.

The book: the five people you meet in heaven by Mitch Albom

The sentences:

"My children went there, and their children and theirs. But not me. My idea of heaven was far from the ocean as possible, back in the busy diner, when my days were simple, when Emile was courting me."

Just as "Tuesdays with Morrie" is a favorite of mine, so is this one. This is a very touching book that makes you think about what you've done in your life.

Here's my share of picture:

Zye was only a week old when this picture was taken. He was so tiny since he was a preemie baby and went out of my womb a month and a half earlier than his due date. I chose this because this reminds me of my initiation to motherhood: the sleepless nights, the frequent nursing, the changing of diaper. I was in the process of making Zye burp when this picture was taken. But now, it looks like I'm sleeping on my job. Harhar.

Let's see what captured moment Jade, Eds and Issa will share.
