SPEAK: I won a Liebster Award!

To be given an award for doing what you love is an incredible feeling. I am so flattered to receive an award as heart-warming as the Liebster Award. The Liebster Award is an award that only exists in the internet and is given to a blogger by a fellow blogger. I was actually nominated by four lovelies: Renee (The Random Bibliophile); Danica (Caffeine High); Kristine (The Blank Polaroids); and Karen (Karen - A Travel & LifestyleBlog). You guys know that I just started blogging not long ago, just this year in fact, and I was not really expecting to gain any followers or even friends! So this really made me smile from ear to ear.

When given a Liebster, the awardee should answer the 11 questions given by the awarder (yes, it is a word, I googled it). Since I was nominated by four bloggers, I picked 3 questions each from their sets so I won't overwhelm my post with 44 questions. Hehe!

So here are their questions and 12 facts about me:

1. What made you pursue blogging?

When I was in college, I used to stay up all night on Tumblr. I was a wallflower back then, I just read and reblog. I never had the courage to create something special and spread my thoughts. Now, I decided to make a change. I decided to set aside my insecurities and share to the world what I am capable of. My friends also pushed me, btw, they encouraged me to take chances and they made me appreciate my abilities more and more. 

2. Who is/are your inspiration(s)?

I actually love Kim Jones, Kryz Uy, Lissa Kahayon, and Rhea Bue.

3. What are your favorite blogs?

My favorite blogs are: Thirstythought, Paper Doll, Camille Tries To Blog, AtsunaMatsui.com, Pau Dictado, and Love from Berlin. I admit that I'm obsessed with vlogs, too. My favorite vloggers are: KathleenLights, MichelleDy, and mesijesibeauty.

4. Name one thing you wish you were good at.

Ballet!

5. Would you live your life differently if given the chance?

No.

6. What is your favorite word and why?

Turquoise. It's an amazing color, a birthstone, and sounds like Tortoise.

7. What is one movie or song that made you cry?

The Good Dinosaur. Just so you know, I also tear up when someone presses the steal button in The Voice (crybaby, I know).

8. When was the last time you laughed so much that you actually burst out in tears?

I remember I was with my high school barkada, we just completed our fashion shoot. We were scrolling through our captured shots, then we came across my best girlfriend looking like a girl asked by her mom to go to the store to buy vinegar. *I'm cracking up just writing this.*

9. What is one thing that you’ve learned about love?

It's the right love if it's selfless.

10. What one piece of advice would you pass on to a new blogger?

Be yourself! Do not try to copy or imitate anyone because you're always going to be the best version of yourself.

11. Which of your blog posts are you most proud of? (Feel free to share the link!)

SHINE: Colourpop Ultra Matte LipReview and Swatches

SAVOUR:Hello Kitty Chinese Cuisine

SEE:Sumilon Island

12. Aside from blogging, what are you most passionate about?

Styling, photography, and singing.
