Tidbits about Me And Blogger Awards ...

First off, I am very honored to receive three awards from my fellow bloggers
  1. Char from , http://1epicmom.com back in July –Okay I am 2 months late but better late than never. If you love fashion and travel, you should definitely visit Char’s web site. Oh … she hosts Weekend Blog Hop Till You Drop http://1epicmom.com/2012/09/12/wbhtyd67/
  2. Sherry who is an author of children books “That Baby Woke Me Up, AGAIN and That Mama s a Grouch.” She is also a professional musician who plays and teaches violin, viola and piano. If you ever need a good laugh here and there, make sure to visit her blog: http://sherryellis.blogspot.com
  3. And Sunni from http://sunni-survivinglife.blogspot.com/ who is a fantasy author of a book, Haversham Hill, and she loves to blog about her cat and her life.
Now there are different rules from each award and I am going to answer them here and pass them on ..

And then Rules from the Super Swe-e-e-e-et Blogger Awards

First: The guidelines are to thank the person who gave you this award.
Second: Answer the “Super Sweet” questions.
Third: Nominate a “Baker’s Dozen” (13) blogs to receive this award.

Time to share seven facts about me:
  1. At one point of my life, I know 9 different dialects/languages –possibly 10
  2. I am the second of my six siblings –that is why I am a little bit rebellious :-) so I don't really follow all of the rules given by each award.
  3. I am a Software Engineer and I love writing --IMHO it is just plain odd :-)
  4. I only eat dark chocolate –pure dark chocolate
  5. I don’t curse! Really!
  6. I have always been fascinated by death and ghosts like.
  7. The first time I ever snorkeled was actually when my friend hired a private guide and he literally took my hand and swam with me!
And here are the questions for the Super Sweet Blogger
  1. Cookies or Cake?  Definitely Tiramisu!
  2.  Chocolate or Vanilla? Do you have to ask? --Dark Chocolate
  3. What is your favorite sweet treat? Chocolate Soufflés
  4. When do you crave sweet things the most? Unfortunately I am not a sweet tooth so I don’t crave for one. But when I see Soufflés –I must have it!
  5.  If you had a sweet nickname, what would it be? I do but I am not sharing :-)
Now that you know tidbits about me –It is your turn and you can pick any of these awards or three of them :-)
  1. Winnie from http://winniesinkyfingers.blogspot.com –The best custom card designer ever. If she ever open up her online biz, I would definitely order BD cards from her for my girls.
  2. Sandra from http://www.awriterweavesatale.com –An author of two novels, Blue Glass and After Lydia. She hosts a creative writing blogs. I love visiting her blog and being visited by Sandra. She is so positive and she can give you the best feedback which sounded like music to the ears.
  3.  Larissa from http://papaisapreacher.blogspot.com/ - I love reading her blog, specially about the tidbits in her life. It is quite entertaining.
  4. Amit from http://all-amit-thinks.blogspot.com/ --He is a bit humorous and definitely poetics. I especially love this poem http://all-amit-thinks.blogspot.com/2012/03/unforgettable-past.html

Until next stop,
Journey of Life

  1. Thank you, sweetie! I've disappeared lately; have issues with my son who is dealing with depression so I am preoccupied and left a bit speechless. Or writer less?

  6. Re your comment on my blog - thanks for nominating me and sorry to be such a nitwit when it comes to cyberspace, but I don't understand which of the three awards listed above I'm being nominated for. There is the Versatile Blogger Award, Inspiring Award, and Supersweet Blogger Award. Which one do I respond to?

  12. I'm pleased to accept the Versatile Blogger Award, Angela! Thanks so much! I think I'll let the other two go. While some might find my blogs inspiring, others might see them at just the opposite. And I'm not sure the term Super Sweet Blogger really fits me! :)

  13. Wow Thank you! (:
    I'll be making a post on this as soon as I can! Traveling in the next few days but as soon as I have five minutes I'll be making it a whole post. (: Thanks again, and I'm definitely with you on Tiramisu! Yum!

    1. I don't like this 'awaiting for approval' thingy but then people dislike typing the catcha words too. If I let comments go through unconditionally, I may get a lot of spam. I guess "awaiting for approval' is the middle ground here :-) except the readers may not know whether their comments go through or not. Oh well ...

  15. Not sure if my first comment went through... congrats on your award... 9-10 languages? WOW!
