BLOG AWARD: Stepping into the Spotlight

The thing is, even after having presented with eight blog awards, I still wonder what I did in this life to deserve all of this. I am just a girl who had a dream of becoming an inspiration to people from all walks of life. It sounds ridiculous, doesn’t it? Writing—to me—has always been an avenue for expressing my thoughts and sharing my experiences with friends and family.

I may not be the best blogger—if not writer—there is, but the 124 followers and few admirers of this blog make every post worth the effort. Needless to say, as my readership grow, I am compelled to write more interesting stuff—not to impress—but to inspire them for the same reason they stumbled into my humble website.

As I accept this award, I only need to thank a few people: Moment Matters, for believing in the goodness of my Eat, Pray, Love entry; all my followers and occasional visitors who take their time in reading, liking, and leaving a comment or two in my posts; my family and friends who serve as my inspiration in everything that I do; and last, but certainly not the least, I thank God for the gift—this gift—that makes me a source of inspiration to other people.

To God be the glory!

I don’t have a sense of entitlement or that I deserve this. You’d be surprised at the lack of competition between nominees – I think a lot of it is imposed from the outside. Can I have my champagne now?

—Cate Blanchett (Best Supporting Actress, The Aviator)
