My 2nd Versatile Blogger Award!

I received a pleasant surprise today as I was moderating and responding to comments made on my previous post (Must Love Pugs).  It turns out that my mommy-blogger-friend Tina of Corsame Lane awarded me and 4 other bloggers with The Versatile Blogger badge!  Read her post here.

This is actually my second time to receive this (you can read the post here).    But the badge I received this time around is of a different style.  I've seen it before on other people's blogs....but even then (and to be honest) I wondered when I would get one.  Now, here it is!  THANK YOU VERY MUCH Mommy Tina!  :)


The following are the accompanying rules for this award:

  1. Thank and link back to the blogger that awarded you the badge.
  2. Share 7 things about you.
  3. Award 5 or 15 other bloggers.
  4. Contact these bloggers to let them know about the award.

Now here are 7 facts about me:
  1. I hold a degree in Psychology.  Plus a Master's degree in Business Administration.
  2. I worked 13 years in one of the premier development banks of the Philippines.
  3. Through the years, I held several job functions:  recruitment specialist, business analyst, and remittance specialist.
  4. I found my soulmate and became his wife at the age of 33.
  5. I happily quit my job at age 34 so my husband and I can start a family.
  6. I became a mom at age 35, and have since stayed-home with our daughter, Maia.
  7. Online Confessions of a Stay-at-Home Mom is my one and only blog.

I would like to award this badge to the following versatile bloggers:
  1. Alexandra (RopCorn)
  2. Carinamodella (MJM:  The Ilumin Siblings)
  3. Charm (Metro Chic Site)
  4. Gessyl (Gessyl Enchanted)
  5. Jade (Momma Wannabe Finally!)
  6. January (36 Weeks After)
  7. Jem (Life's Learning of a Filipino Work-at-Home Mommy)
  8. Karith (Pinay Expat Blogger)
  9. Kayth (My Simple Life)
  10. Krislin (Ting's Reality with Fantasy = Tingtasy)
  11. Marikoy (Ako:  The Adventures of Marikoy)
  12. Pepper (The Pepperrific Life)
  13. thegloryboxstar (Seeing Stars)
  14. Weng (The Vendor Mom)
  15. wickedlysexy (Mom from Manila)


All you ladies truly deserve this.  And I truly hope that you pass on the love to other deserving bloggers out there.  More power and happy blogging everyone!

Addendum (April 22, 2010):
My friend Joy of the blog CATHARSIS also informed me just minutes ago that she awarded me with this very same blogging badge.  Details of which can be read via her latest post entitled:  "In The Spotlight".

I can't tell you how thrilled I am about this!  And like I've been saying how many times now, I welcome all blessings that come my way.  Big or small...I will acknowledge and be grateful for ALL of them.  I say, bring it on! :D

Thanks so much, Joy!  Godspeed ALWAYS!

Mama Mia, I never knew that you hold an MBA. That's impressive/. It's great to read this post to know you more. BTW, congrats on your award!

Well, it was a long time ago. Back when I was still career-oriented and thought that my job was my life. No regrets. I know that somewhere down the road, I will have a use for my background. Malay mo, magka-business na kami? Hehehe.

Thanks Bingks!

Oh wow thanks Mama Mia!!

Wala, dati kasi I was so job- and career-oriented. Wala akong buhay besides that. Someday soon, I hope I will still get to apply all the I learned from my experiences sa trabaho, as well as principles from my MBA. I wish to put up my own business someday. A family business so that my hubby doesn't need to go to the office anymore. :D

Thanks for dropping by sis, and for all your support! Mwah!

Thank you!

Since when have you been blogging ba? Ako back in 2009. Relatively new, I guess...compared to some of you. But I don't think I will ever tire of "grabbing" and of thanking others who have "recognized" me & my blog, kahit di talaga award. At least, I know that my blog is in their "consciousness". Anyway, di naman madalas eh. Hehehehe! Saka ang sarap eh! :D

You're very welcome and my regards to your lovely family as well!

Hi sis! Long time no write/ hear! Nagka-problem ako with my PC that's why I have been "absent" from blogging and blog-hopping the past weeks. Hopefully, things will normalize soon.

Thank you for always suggesting online earning opportunities for me. Ano bang klaseng mga post ang binabayaran nitong si halley? I would like to know first before I consider emailing her....baka mapa-subo ako eh. Hehehe :D
