The envelope goes to…

Happy thoughts! Yvonne of Grow Your Writing Business chose me to be one of the recipients of the Rockin’ Girl Blogger Award. She says:

Toni’s blog has a real sense of community drawn together by her positivity. In the hustle and bustle of a working day, this blog is a great place to relax.

That comment made me smile from ear-to-ear and gave me a really big mood boost. Many many thanks, Yvonne!

Over at her soulful thoughts, Rachel shared the “Creative Blogger Award” and “Thoughtful Blogger Award” with me. Per her blog, these awards are “…for those who answer blog comments, emails and make their visitors feel at home on their blog. For the people who take others people’s feelings into consideration before speaking out and who are kind and courteous. Also for all those bloggers who spend so much of their time helping other bloggers design, improve and fix there sites. This award is for those generous bloggers who think of others. ” She writes:

Her award winning blog is an inspiration to many including myself. She shares many interesting and inspiring things on her site. I always learn something new when I visit her because of the refreshing insights, great tips, advices and creative links she share on her blog. Toni is celebrating her birthday soon and I would like to take this opportunity to greet her a Happy Birthday! May she have many more great and wonderful opportunities in life. Stay happy my friend!

Thanks Rachel and Yvonne! And now it’s my turn to pass on these awards.
I am passing on the Rockin’ Girl Blogger award to three strong women: Ruth of Transposable Elements. Wanderlust Sha. Sexy Mom Dine. They are all brilliant Filipinas I admire. Each one is strong in her own style and manner, and their feminine strength is potently felt in their blogs. Cheers to you Rockin’ Women!

I am passing on the Creative and Thoughtful Blogger awards to: Nostalgia Manila – our blogging time machine, Kaoko of Kitchen Cow – the ultimate bento master!, and the ever-colorful and amusing Jerome of Bridget Jones is a Man. All three are highly creative and always write engaging entries. Cheers to you!
