Awards!!!!

I should have posted this long time ago right after I received my first award. But I will be honest What A Card, I dont think I deserve any of it. For one, I can't even keep up with the blog. I rarely have time to sit down. It's not like writing an email short and sweet, answer and send. Blogging really takes more of me than the five minute breaks I have throughout the day. Second, I wasn't sure what to say about the award...yes I am thankful, appreciative and it really felt nice that you recognize my efforts, but I guess I was lost for words (which is usual). So thank you! My very first award is: Wow! I'm lost for words again...so I'll just proceed.

I have to list six things that make me happy, and then pass the award along to six more bloggers. This is tough!

Six Things that Make Me Happy:
No. 1 on the list: my husband, daughter and doggy. They really do make me laugh.

2. This must sound weird, Berries. I grew up in the Philippines and berries are not a fruit common to a tropical country. Strawberries can be found only in one province in the Philippines-Benguet, an area high above sea level. If we have it in the city, it is extremely expensive. When I eat berries, it literally makes feel like the richest person on earth.

3. Bittersweet Hot Chocolate on a rainy day

4. A book that makes me laugh out loud

5. A long conversation with lots of laughter after dinner with friends and/or family

6. A meal I could never recreate on my own. Something so good, I'd remember the taste and smell for a long long time

And I'm passing it along to:
1. bad home cooking
2. the girl who ate everything
3. scent of green bananas
4.cooking for engineers
5. food on the food
6. what a card (I'm sorry what a card...you just had to be on the list...I'm remembering all those times I laughed my ass off thinking how could you have come up with that????)
Another award from whatacard.....thanks again!
The Snazzy Blog Award

This blog invests and believes the PROXIMITY - nearness in space, time and relationships! These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in prizes or 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 must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award.

1. a little pregnant
2. mama's gootiful baby
3. orangette
4. line cook
5. girls gone child
6. what it all looks like
7. confessions of a restaurant whore
8. willow manor
9. What A Card you just have to be a part of this too!

I must add that these are the blogs I must read everyday. Being a mom I never have time to give myself a break when my toddler is awake. Everytime I feel like I can't go on these are the blogs I read. They bring me so much laughter (the gutt-busting ones!) and their passion inspires me.
