5 AWARDS!!!

i got a new award from my very kind sister -- C! yes it's true and i'm saying this again, we are siblings, as in!!! why don't you try clicking the capital "c" and pay her a visit! i don't know for what reason/s why she's giving these 5 supah-dupah-awesome awards...

maybe she wants something from me... hahaha! just kidding, sissy! if you loved my blog, there's no doubt that you'll love hers. she's very witty and a much better writer than me. she loves blogging and fashion and everything else in between as much as i do... so to you, my dear C...

Thank You Very Much!



and as a tradition, i have to pass it on to other bloggers who deserve these awards. the first one is the WRITING AWARD 2009.

and i'm dying to give this to: MR. G.A.G. i am not sure if he's going to like it but i can't think of a much better blogger who deserves to have this award. i have always enjoyed reading his posts and forgive me but each time i'm in my dashboard, he'll definitely be my first stop. i love his writings and i love him. although he would never share James Mcavoy to me... :(( anyway, MR. G.A.G., i hope you'll come down here and claim this award. ^_^

the next award goes to the following people:
Misty - The Queen Of My House
Michele - Finding Trinity
Annette - Fairy Blog Mother

check out their blogs to find out why they deserve it more than i...

this third award will land on the their blogs:
Veronica Lee - Of Mice and raMEN
Sandy - Sandy's Space --Stories, Stitches, and sometimes Silliness!
Marisa - Mama Needs a Hobby
Angela - This is just Me and My Little Word
Peach - A Beaded-Crocheted Life

i follow their blogs and that explains why i want to give it to them.

the last 2 awards will be given to 2 of my dearest blogger friends:
Kyutie - A Cute Blog
TICKLEBEAR - My Everyday Life



i met Kyutie at MAF.. despite our age and status gap, we became friends and we're able to enjoy each other. thank you Kyutie for being nice (and generous) to me. ^_^
each time i visit MR. G.A.G.'s blog, i would see TICKLEBEAR's comments on each of his posts. i got curious and so i did visit his site once and got hooked since then. to you, my TICKLEBEAR, i soo love your blog (you know exactly which one ^_^) and i'd like to praise you for writing down you views bravely. this whole award idea may sound cheezy to you but i hope it'll make you smile. please come over and get this. thank you!

======================
NOTE: please leave a comment after claiming your award and pass it on to other bloggers.

endless super thanks to all of you! ^_^

retrospect

it's 2010... how time flies... oh yeah! welcoming the year is quite overwhelming. i can't tell exactly how it feels and what this means to me but there's one thing am sure of... i am positive in many ways that i'll survive this year just like the previous ones...

2009 has been kind to me. i am blessed with many good and bad things. yes, bad things are blessings, too. you learn from it and then you don't do it again. so, it still counts.

aside from the shower of shoes from my ever generous mom, i got many 'things' like new friends, new hobbies, new yarns and needles, new enemies and a whole lot more. for all of these, i am grateful to every person around me and to my Creator... truly, it has made my past year more meaningful and memorable.

one of the wonderful things that also happened to me is this blog. yes, yes and yes! through this small space in the internet world, my voice is heard. my thought counts. and those made me feel special. i used to say that i am not used to getting special attention. i am always the "unknown" in real life. but now, it's different. no words can truly express how i really feel.

once and for all, i thank all of you from the bottom of my heart! (it's sounds cheezy but i don't care... ^_^) i can't promise many good or better things here in my blog except for a bunch of photos and tons of rants and oh! oh yeah! a little giveaway... that sounds good, right? i think it's about time that i should give back a little to my fellow bloggers and readers. i'll post about it so you better watch out.

welcome 2010! and i hope we'll make wonderful memories together! and to all, let's keep it rolling! ^_^

want to see me?

this is unbelievable! i'm the MAF GOTW!



wow! thank you! ^_^

PARTAY!

few pics from our little Christmas party... oh, i mean the FQ Christmas party. i didn't take much photos for i was so engrossed with chatting with my co-parents and the older kids who were also there. we went to the seaside (just behind the Mall of Asia) and we head off to the seaside market and restaurant. that was a fun experience for me! we went to the market and bought some stuff first... fresh fish, mussels and prawns and then let the restaurant handle the rest. everything is fresh and of course, delicious! yummm!

(the kids had so much fun at the seaside park)

==================================

(this is the wet market.. where we shopped for fresh stuffs)

=================================

see these strange creatures? believe me! they're edible! ugh! (faint!)







===============================

this fish, (i don't know it's name) is really good! and the prawns are to die for! (rrrrawr!)





===============================

tangy fish soup -- yummmmy!


oh! i forgot... this one goofy photo of me with the fish guy! lol!



hope you too, had a merry Christmas! and a healthy happy New Year ahead! :)

busy......................... TUT! TUT! TUT!

to my lovely readers,

i am so sorry for not posting anything nutritious these past few days. i've been very busy -- sleeping. making up for the nights that i stayed up soo late working on my lesson plans or some materials needed for my teaching job. but, now that i am unemployed, i wanted to catch up with the things that i used to love doing. and of course i had to catch up with my kids too. but worry not my dear friends. i will post something as soon as i can. i am currently working on some accessories (and other crafts). my friend and i are planning to put up an online shop, so we can sell these things and make money (of course!)...

for now, i'd like to say:








may all of you have a blessed holiday season!

BRB! muah!

la la la love...

due to my busy schedule at work, i wasn't able to find time to blog about this. i won kyutie's online raffle. at stake is a Coach wristlet that is so pretty and truly a must-have. she PM'ed me some few weeks ago to tell me that i have won her contest/raffle. i was thrilled and really happy and i forgot to tell everyone about it. the package arrived yesterday. ooh-lala! i opened it ASAP! and ta-daaa! i couldn't believe my eyes! aaaahck! ^_^ thanks dear kyutie! and to everyone else, you should check out her site more often and watch out for more of her crazy contests!

---------------------------------------------------------:)

meanwhile, my dear mom has spilled some good news... she's coming home and she'll be celebrating New Year with us! oh yeah! i really miss her... i'm glad that she'll come home. the sad part is, Uncle M won't come with her this time. :( maybe some other time...
oh, by the way... mom's third BOG (box of goodies) arrived yesterday too! (see? when it rains, it really pours!) here's what she's got for me...
(nice shoesies and a huge tote)

(and TWO PAIRS of Patricia Field Shoes... wow! but i think mom bought these at Payless... ^_^ never a problem for me...)

oh mom... you just don't know how grateful we are... my sister and i have always been thankful that she didn't stop spoiling us even though we're no longer little girls. maybe, that's how moms are. they always treat their daughters like little girls.. and i love it! ^_^
--------------------------------------------------------:)

and this... this is mind blowing! a gift from DH... i'm sure it is not authentic and for all i care! it's still the thought that counts...


endless super thanks to all of them! i don't know what to say anymore... :) now i can go to bed... ^_^

Octopus that collects coconut shells?! WT...?
