Thank you, Ninoy!

IT’S a holiday! Although I don’t remember when and why Ninoy Aquino was proclaimed a hero, I’m thankful to the guy because I get to spend time with my family today. I only have to spend a few hours in the office to wrap up the pages of Pinoy Gazette’s showbiz and lifestyle sections. After that, I’m through and free to do whatever I want.

I also noticed that Mr. Aquino’s death anniversary kept a lot of motorists inside their homes so traveling is easy and the streets get to breathe for once.

Honestly, I’m not the kind who excitedly reports for work on a holiday since I’d rather spend it elsewhere with my family. But today, I was left with no choice. I left our home this morning with a heavy heart. I promised Sonnet I’ll be home before sunset and she just smiled. My Switee, on the other hand, has to go to office also because he works for a company whose clients are US-based so what’s it to them if it’s a holiday here? Jon promised me though that he’ll be home early, too.

It’s been a tough week so a day of relaxation means so much to me. Thank you, Ninoy!

Arte y Pico Awards

I’M still in euphoria as I write this. I couldn’t help myself since I just received the Arte y Pico, my first award from the blog community. It was Chizmosa Lounge who handed me this award and I don’t know how to thank that sight which is nonetheless the No. 1 showbiz authority in the blogosphere (move over Ricky Lo, we’re talking blog here not TV or newspaper).

I want to share this award to my angelic Sonnet, my extremely handsome Johnson, my family, and friends who’ve contributed to the realization of my blog. By the way, I want to thank my one and only sponsor, Virgin Coconut Oil. If you want to know more about it, check out Magic VCO! and Like a Virgin. Remember, only the purest will do.

I want to share my award to all of you, here it is:)

Passing this honor is very easy. Just take note of the following rules:
1) Pick 5 blogs that you would like to award this honor to.
2) Each award has to have the name of the author and also a link to his or her blog to be visited by everyone.
3) Each award winner has to show the award and put the name and link to the blog that has given her or him the award itself.
4) Award-winner and the one who has given the prize have to show the link of “Arte y Pico” blog, so everyone will know the origin of this award.

I want to congratulate the following as I pass on this prestigious award to you guys:

Hoshi

Avi

Brainteaser

Pelicarol
