it has been an exciting week here in S:C:F as our little blog received a few recognitions from some of my favorite blogs! i am humbled and honored for this nomination and i hope to continue to live up to this award, being a stylish blogger!
a BIG THANK YOU to the following blogs and their authors for the nomination. i share this award with you guys (*me holding up my little oscar statue*) :
i was almost named "Constituta" by my parents in honor of my dear uncle greg (RIP) who was named one of the delegates to the Philippine Consitution Convention in the 70s (Lili sounds way better, dont you think?) i have been married to my dear hubby for 10 yrs last september. little guy aston joined us in our 7th year together i grew up in a loving family (5 kids - 3 girls and 2 boys) with a teacher mom and a banker dad. growing up, i have fond memories of our long drives to the beach on saturdays (and stopping by the local farmers market on our drive home) back in the Philippines some of my odd jobs in the past before becoming a registered nurse ~ a) "hand" model for TV commercials/ads; b) flight attendant in the 90s as a registered nurse ~ i had worked as a pediatric clinic nurse, hospice nurse, home health nurse, nurse at a nursing home/rehab hosp and a lymphoma cancer research nurse as a little girl ~ i was an avid collector of stamps, stationary, sanrio, sweet dreams pocketbooks (do you guys remember those? maybe not. revealing my age much? yes). i was a tomboy too who loves to ride the skateboard and motorcross bike (i would steal my little brother's bike) and who almost made it to the girls high school varsity basketball team i was only 96 lbs in college (i wish i can turn back time)
so cool! I saw this on another blog, too! that is neat. I love Mommy Amour, too! :)

Oh, lil! I adored the Philippines flash backs! And thank goodness Constituta was a no go hahaha Oh crazy filipinos! Do your relatives have the silliest nicknames too?!?! Mine are seriously across the board- pope, yen, dukz, eng! ha! I loved Sanrio as a child too ;) Congrats on the award!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your award! I love your name - Lili, better than "Constituta." Thanks for sharing your personal random facts with us. Oh, we have more in common now than just blogging: stamp collection, stationary, sanrio and sweet dreams pocketbooks (my favorite was "P.S I love you", what was yours?) :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the award too. I am so thrilled... you made my weekend all the more special as I will also celebrate my 2nd wedding anniversary.
Congratulations on the award! It is so totally deserving! And I'm so humbled that you passed it along. This is turning out to be the best weekday in a long time! Have a great Friday and a fantastic weekend!
ReplyDeleteOk this is just too weird! You mentioned you used to be a research nurse for lymphoma in your past professional life...I'm a research nurse now for sarcoma! =) I'm guessing you worked for MDACC as well?
