I bear good news today. Since I brought my blog over from Blogger to WordPress it’s been a pleasant experience, I’ve met some great souls here at WP – the WordPress bloggers are a very supportive lot.
On to the good news, I’ve received my very first blog award, the ‘One Lovely Blog Award’ from the lovely Janice at Aurora Morealist. Goes without saying I’m happy as a lark. I’m pleased that Janice, and others find my blog worth a read, for I don’t write about anything earth-shattering. Simply what interests me, what I think, feel, see. In the words of Daniel my blog here is also “just another Me, Me, Me blog like 300,000 other ones.” Thank you, Janice.
From what I’ve learnt, there are some rules to be followed upon receiving the award, which Janice in her true JAM style 🙂 has tweaked a bit:
- Thank the person that nominated you by linking back to them in your post.
- Share 7 random facts about yourself.
- Nominate 7 bloggers for the award (some say 7, 12 and others 15); Janice chose 8, guess I’ll have to decide.
- Drop them a note to let them know.
7 Random Facts About Me
- I speak three foreign languages; English, French, and Gujarati. Well, not so fluent in the latter, but never for the life of me did I ever think I could/would ever learn and/or speak an Indian dialect.
- I’ve always wanted to play the violin. Whether I eventually will, is a different matter altogether. I did take guitar lessons once, though. Then the instructor decided to make a disappearance act, and well, that ended my music stint. Still, hope lives on.
- I’m more of a peas person than I am a beef person.
- I still hope to one day hit a fashion runway or two in Paris.
- I’m terrified of questions in the superlative: ‘what is your favourite dish?’ ‘what music do you love best?’ ‘what is your best memory to-date?’ I just don’t know what to do with such questions, and my brain freezes… a bit like that clumsy feeling you get when being watched at a certain task and find yourself getting wrong something you’re usually perfect at.
- I want to write a novel some day. Or win the BBC short story award. Now that would be an accomplishment! Sigh.
- The population of Yoruba in Nigeria has the highest rate of multiple births (twins, et cetera). It’s attributed to their high consumption of a certain type of yams. Let’s just say I plan to emulate them (their yam consumption), for obvious reasons. 🙂
And now for the Lovely Blog Award Nominees …. Drum roll please!
- Noeleen at http://wordsfallfrommyeyes.wordpress.com You’ve got to drop by Noeleen’s, she’s got some read-worthy beautiful stuff going on.
- Gabrielle at http://fashionbeautyinsight.biz I love Gabrielle’s fashion and beauty blog. Worth a look if you’re into fashion.
- I’ll be adding more soon (lol) ….

Hi,Katerina, I had to laugh because I am exactly the same when it comes to those mean sweeping questions. What is your favourite music?.. I don’t know .. i can’t even tell you who wrote the song that is going round and round in my head this very minute! how about. So, Anything exciting happen today? um.. NO! now that is a mean question! c
Good to know it’s not just me! ‘Anything exciting happen today?’ Lol. I feel some of those questions could simply be asked differently and get the same response without giving one a brain jam. I would much prefer ‘what kind of movies do you like?’ to ‘what is the best movie you’ve watched?’ or ‘what do you think was the best moment in your life?’ Boy! I find that a strange question to ask any one still living 🙂
congratulations and thanks for the mention too! I think the 300,000 has already gone up a few more thou.
Thank you Daniel. Yes, the number has certainly gone up, we bloggers just keep growing more and more in number, don’t we? Seems everyone wants to give their two-pence worth.’See you’ again at Being Sixteen. I’m learning a lot from 1967 🙂
Congrats!!! 😀 wow you have interesting goals… and I want to write a novel too 🙂
Thanks, D.
‘Interesting goals’… really? Glad someone thinks so 🙂 I hope you write your novel, I’ll be sure to get myself a copy when it comes out, so keep the dream alive, girl.
Congratulations on receiving the award. Well deserved. I know you said you are thinking about being showcased at choiceposts.wordpress.com. Be great if you have the time to provide a brief intro and one best link and four other links.
Yes, I do remember! Thank you for the reminder, getting right on it!
Naturally I ‘like’ this post!! Congrats on receiving the award, and sincere sincere thanks for nominating me. It’s morning and just before work for me now so I will have to get around to attending to ze rules a bit later. But I’m glad the number of nominees has been reduced! Phew!
I haven’t completed that part of the merry-go-round either. Still compiling the list.. Gotta get round to it real soon! Good to see you around, Noeleen. Close to 11 pm here, have a good day at work. 🙂
