It’s been a while since I last received an award for this blog. Thank you Mommy Phoebe for even thinking that I deserved this recognition. That was sweet!

Here are the rules for receiving this award:

1. Thank and link back the person who gave you this award.
2. Share 7 things about yourself.
3. Award 15 great bloggers you know.
4. Contact these bloggers and tell them about the award.

Okay, here are the 7 things about me:

1. I am a Christian.
2. I love books! I have tons of them. I hope my kids would get the same passion for books when they grow up.
3. When I gave birth to baby Ayesha, I weighed 60 kilos. Now, I weigh 51 kilos! Can’t believe I belong to the normal weight category now! 50 kilos is my weight goal though. So konti na lang!
4. I love running! My husband and I regularly run on weekends. I also run at least 3K on the treadmill at home.
5. Currently, I am maintaining 4 blogs.
6. January of this year, I joined our church’s annual 7 Days of Prayer and Fasting for the first time. I did one-meal fast for three days, then liquid fast for 4 days. It was an awesome experience! Fasting is an act of humbling yourself before God. As our body weakens, our spiritual antenna sharpens. Thus, we become more sensitive to the Holy Spirit.
7. I’m a big fan of Shakey’s mojo potatoes.

There you go!

Now it’s time to share this award to my blogger friends:

Ely, Amor, Karen, Shasha, Phebie, Jhoice, Mommy Rubz, Jared’s Mum, Mommy Chris, Dhadha, Yesha, Bambie, Ann.

I had my 3D ultrasound last week and was very delighted to know that my second baby is a girl. (Well, that confirms the assumption of everyone which is a good thing). My parents and in-laws were so happy too. My mom and sister even screamed and jumped when I told them about the news. LOL. :sick:

Anyway, meet the little girl in my tummy…AYESHA KIRSTEN. :heart:

The truth is, we’ve already given her a name as soon as we found out I was pregnant. We just assumed that the baby is a girl right from the start. LOL. We prayed that God will give us a baby girl so we don’t have to think of a boy’s name just in case. :bleh:

And God was so generous for giving us what our hearts desire. :heart: :hearty: :love:

Oh before I forget, I’d like to thank Marlene for giving me this wonderful award. I’ll try to update my blog regularly from now on. Promise!

I wanna thank Ariane for giving me this wonderful 5-star blog award. Thanks, sis. I really appreciate it.

Now I am passing this to SexyNomad, Ely, Luana, Aisha and Joanna. Anyway, I am really busy now with a lot of things. First, I am really busy looking for the cheapest airfare from Manila – Boracay (Caticlan or Kalibo). So far the cheapest one I found is with Cebu Pacific (288 GO Fare + tax = 10, 185 for 3 pax). I called them to make a reservation for April 15-18 yesterday. I was about to pay for it already but the agent I spoke with said they might have a cheaper promo (1 or 8 peso fare) come March. So since we’re going there in April I’ve decided to wait a li’l longer. Haha!

Second, I am also busy looking for a nice hotel. And since the month of April is under peak season, hotels are 40-60% more expensive. (What a rip off!)

Third, I am so busy doing sponsored posts on my other blogs to — you know — earn some $$$. LOL. I promised to myself that every penny that we’ll be spending for our Bora trip will come from my earnings through blogging. And I am happy that I’ve already earned enough money to pay for our airfare and hotel accomodation (4 days, 3 nights). Yipee! Pang-shopping na lang sa D’ Mall at pang-island hopping ang kulang. Hehe.

I used to be very stingy when it comes to spending money on trips. But now? What the heck! I want to explore the whole world every chance I get as long as I have the money (CORRECTION: blog money) to spend! Hahaha. Life is too short.

P.S: But the truth is, parang magkakasakit ata ako sa laki ng gagastusin namin! LOL.
