What?!  I’m sure the ‘beautiful blogger’ part will raise some eyebrows hehe but who cares. I’m pretty sure Z of Sreisaat Adventures in Cambodia still has 20/20 vision and her eyesight is working just fine when she gave me this award. And oh, I suddenly remembered ‘sreisaat’ in Khmer language means ‘beautiful lady’ so she knows about beautiful, di ba Z?

Anyway, do drop by her blog. It’s a great read and she has really lovely lovely photographs of Cambodia and places she has visited. Yes, she’s my friend and I think I’ve mentioned before that I knew her through blogging and I’ve met her a few months back but I’ve been hooked reading her blog entries much longer than that. Do visit..

Blog award mechanics. Oops, this award comes with some strings attached, hmm? The recipient is asked to reveal seven things about her/himself. Ok, (you can hear me heaving a sigh of relief now..) it’s not really requiring me to recite tongue twisters while rolling my eyes and dancing to the tune of Lambada (grrr I super hate this song..). Hehe, just 7 things about me..

  • I was born and raised in Albay Province, Philippines. So that makes me a true-blooded Bicolana. Uragon ( Bicol term meaning – a live-wire, go getter, a fighter) ako noh!
  • I love watching Korean/Japanese movies/dramas. Mainly for the cinematography and I love hearing spoken Korean/Japanese language. And for some really really poignant stories..
  • I am an experimental cook and my husband is my ‘guinea pig’. So far, he hasn’t been poisoned or rushed to the hospital because of my cooking.  And I do turn up some delicious stuff every now and then.
  • I’m a shop o’ holic. Shopping and bargain hunting is a favorite pastime.
  • I love the beach and nature. I grew up in a farm and we were just a 5-minutes walk away from the beach.
  • I love playing tickle-till-you-surrender games with Chinks and Hi-ace. I always end up the loser.
  • I’m addicted to taking strolls, long walks and soaking the atmosphere of every place I visit. When I travel you can usually find me in a market, a corner cafe just sitting and observing how life is for the locals.

I’m passing on the award to.. (I can’t come up with 15, so here’s some of my favorite reads..)

  • I Love/Hate America – thought provoking yet very sensible posts from Bingkee. Always worth the visit..
  • A Simple Life – I love Liza’s practical tips and tidbits of her life she constantly posts.
  • Buhay sa Korea – a Filipina’s insights and experiences while living in Korea. Very informative and entertaining posts..
  • Taxi Diary – Inspiring, moving stories. This is one of my absolute reads. The author even got publishing deals from his blog. I’m not sure he’ll post this but his blog is definitely going to my beautiful blogger award.
  • American in Davao – unique insights to Filipino culture and tradition. A very interesting read.
  • Coriander Dreams – laid back and personal. that’s how I would describe Coriander Dreams..She’s also into traveling which makes her blog all the more interesting.
  • Brown Pinay – another favorite. Read on her latest experiences, tips, opinions and more.
