Paying Forward is Cool

This has been long over-due. I received a comment from my new friend Karen about the award that she gave for the coolest blogs she ever knows. And she picked the Carpenter’s WIFE’s tool box [this blog] as one of them. I am so honored. And I am so posting now to recognize such kind gesture. Thanks Karen and Gerard Zemek for the trust. I really appreciate it guys.

Now it’s my turn to pay it forward.

I have been blogging for more than 3 years now and somehow I encountered, met and befriended a lot of people online… both bloggers and sploggers alike. I was even called and accused as a SPLOGGER at one point by another know-it-all-and-I-am-better-than-you-Dude kinda blogger and that it almost ruined my desire and passion for writing. Good thing there are kind and understanding bloggers in this cyber-nation who encouraged me to go on and just ignore her. And so I did. I took their advice and the result… 9 blogs and counting… hahahahaha.

Now it’s my turn to pick the coolest blogs that give me inspiration... blogs that I often find another breathing space aside from what I already have… blogs that also serve as my [other] REFUGE… blogs that I consider my [other] cup of Tea.

And THE COOLEST BLOG AWARDS GO TOO... [Drumroll please!]

I don’t know if you guys are the kind of blogger who likes tags and meme, I don’t mind at all if you don't feel like doing the tag. Trust me I won't get hurt. I don’t want to oblige you to do the same if you don’t feel like it because I believe that the essence of paying forward is no longer cool if you are pressured to do it just for the sake of keeping the ball rolling. But anyway if you like to do it and pay it forward and award it to other blogs... here are the rules…

The rules are quite simple;
1. You pick ten people and pass this award to them.
2. Then contact them and let them know that you have chosen them and their blogs for the award.
3. Also link back to the person who gave you the award.

There you go guys. Thanks for sharing your blogs with me. You all deserved the award. I wish the list would be longer because, trust me there are more cool blogs that I want to add to the list.

BTW: You can also grab and copy the logo to add to your blog to display. It's your trophy, anyway. Love you Guys.
