The Irresistibly Sweet Award... Thank You Lah @Lazy Girl Reads!

I just got back from the real world and back into cyberspace and look what welcomes me... An Award!  And from my bestest bloggy friend Lah of Lazy Girl Reads!  You know, if situations were reversed, I would give this award to her, too because like what she said about me about commenting on whatever she posts, she also did the same, and she's actually one of the first bloggy friends I had since starting this blog so I really, really think that she's soooooooo sweet!
That's from ARGH and me

As a thank you, I have to give this to six other Irresistibly Sweet bloggers and talk about four of my guilty pleasures.  

Okay, so four guilty pleasures (this is difficult because I almost always deny that I have a guilty pleasure...  Most of them are embarrassing!):
1.  Junk food.  I am such a bad nurse - I love junk food even MORE than the next person, which usually leads to my mom getting mad at me sometimes when she sees me eating one.  Imagine your mother scolding you about your food choices when you're in your twenties - it's that bad!

So good yet so bad!
 2.  Wedding gowns.  I'm not getting married anytime soon, but I have this thing about wedding gowns, I'm crazy about them!  Right now I really love the simple, structured, and clean lines of Rosa Clara, and the frilly, whimsical silhouettes of Vera Wang.  

From the Rosa Clara Spring 2011 Collection
3.  Raw noodles.  This is weird.  You know those instant noodles?  I love eating them raw.  I would get cup noodles or a pack of them and I'd just eat them right away.  This began when I was four and my mom was going to cook noodle soup and she gave me a small piece of raw noodles, and I was hooked!

Yum!
4.  Books.  This is probably the only guilty pleasure I won't be ashamed about.  Obviously, everyone of us here are addicted to books, but sometimes I wonder if it's already an addiction.  I could not stop myself from going to the bookstore even chance I get.  Sometimes, I don't even have anywhere to go that day but I'd suddenly go out and find myself in the bookstore, ogling new books and pestering the book people about when this book or that book is going to be released.

My bookshelf...  Not really as big as yours but I'm really proud of those books!

 And now, this award goes to...

1.  Aobibliosphere because we're both Filipinas and I want to give her some Pinay ♥! 
2.  Jenni Elyse because she's also one of the earliest bloggy friends I ever made, apart from the fact that her name sounds very sweet too!  I totally love it :D
3.  Alissa from The Grammarian's Reviews because she's so smart and makes these really hot topics of discussion.  I love her blog!
4.  Playing Librarian - we almost have the same tastes in books and that's so sweet - not to mention awesome!
5.  Khadija from Black Fingernailed Reviews because every time we visit each other's blogs another book is added to our wishlist :D
6.  Ashley from BookAholics Anonymous because she is a self-confessed bookaholic... And so am I!

I would have loved to give this award to every blog I'm following because:  a) Not every blog accepts awards; b) I'll never get finished enumerating everyone; and c) I'm supposed to give this to just SIX people.  But no worries, you're all really irresistibly sweet, and best of all, A-W-E-S-O-M-E!

My First Ever Award: The Versatile Blogger Award

My first award woohoo‼ I would like to thank Mariya at Mystifying Paranormal Reviews, Cleo at Booklopedia, and J-9 at Blood Rose Books for awarding me the Versatile Blogger award *sniffs in true beauty queen fashion*

*UPDATE: Lulu at The Bookworm is Here and Amanda from Amanda's Writings also gave me this award, and I would like to extend my thanks to them.

Here's a 'picture' of my picture trophy:


So I learned that with this award comes *not too* great responsibility:
  1. Thank and link back to the person that gave this award.
  2. Write 7 things about yourself.
  3. Pass the award to 15 bloggers who you have recently discovered and who you think are fantastic.
  4. Contact the bloggers you have picked to let them know about the award.
And here are seven random things about me:
  1. I can do different voices, and sometimes I do impressions of Cookie Monster, Spongebob, and Patrick Starfish, etc. But my favorite is copying Bart Simpson.
  2. I don't like touching flowers and plants due to an unreasonable fear of worms, caterpillars, and other creepy crawlies.
  3. However, I am not afraid of cockroaches, and I do have a bit of a sadistic streak when killing them. (Think cremation)
  4. I punched a boy in class when I was still in grade school for no reason.
  5. I can deliberately hide my pupils and just let the whites of my eyes show.
  6. I adore Audrey Hepburn.
  7. I like spoilers. I like movies but I like being able to read about them beforehand, so I have at least just a bit of idea what's going on. It doesn't spoil the excitement, I'm just like that.
And there you have it, folks, useless things about myself, that I dare you to use against me :p

Here are the 15 blogs I will be passing along this award to:

  1. The Deranged Book Lovers
  2. Sam Still Reading
  3. Bookable Reads
  4. I Am A Reader Not A Writer
  5. Fiction Spark
  6. A Tale of Many Reviews
  7. Book'd Out
  8. The SLTA
  9. Book Noise
  10. Library Mosaic
  11. Book Purring
  12. YA Bookie Monster
  13. Darkeva's Blog
  14. Romance Book Junkies
  15. Fiction State of Mind
And there you have it, let's all give ourselves a big round of applause and a loud "Yay‼"
