The first time, also my very first time getting awards during these 3 months of my blogging life, she gave me a total of 8 Awards! This is the second time she awarded me and I'm totally lost for words when I checked out on the post that she asked me to!Thank you very very much TINA! Thank you for being so sweet, kind and generous to me. I truly feel so honored, so happy to receive these 2 lovely awards and greatly appreciated that you always think of me, visiting and leaving nice compliments in my blog to encourage me!
I totally agreed with her that it's not easy making friends here in the blogging world. Personally, I feel that the blog space is too big, although having the same interests don't mean having the same wavelength to click right away and sometimes it all depends on fate. Are we fated to be friends or just acquaintances? Sometimes it also depends on the efforts and sincerities that you show in trying to change your relationships from acquaintances to true friends.
Most Deserved Award |
2011 Beautiful Blog Award |
- CG of Cooking Gallery
- Nami of Just One Cookbook
- KEcker of Photos and Thoughts of My Home Cooked Meals+some restaurant ones thrown in
Nami, she is a Japanese living in San Francisco, a friendly, beautiful mom of 2 beautiful kids, who loves cooking delicious food for her family shares all her authentic Japanese dishes recipes clearly with step-by-step pictures. I love all her dishes because I'm a Japanese food fanatic and so are both my girls!
KEcker, also a Japanese living in Los Angeles, CA, US with her husband is a friendly, cheerful-looking lady who is passionate about food. She loves sharing recipes of her own style of cooking which I find them very attractive and worth trying out!

Initially I already had my title as "Awards+Chicken Rice Recipe" but as I kept on writing and felt that the post was very long (I'm afraid that readers may get bored.. hee..) I decided to keep the recipe for my next post. So sorry to disappoint you :(
But glad that you like the surprise! U too have a great weekends! :D

... and as I am sending off my entry I realize that I had tagged you for the same awards http://www.gourmetfashion.net/2011/05/spring-fruit-salad-bowl.html
Hi Lyn! Congratulations on all these awards, and thank you so much for passing them to me. You have been so sweet and kind to me, and I'm just happy that we are getting to know each other. I'm sorry I've been so slow in responses and commenting, but I'm thinking of you! ;-) Thank you so much again.
hi Lyn,
It's my first time to visit your blog and it is a wonderful blog :)
Hi Yenny! Tks for your time visiting my blog and the lovely comment you gave! :)
I love all your bentos! You're another creative bento mama! :D
Hi Nami! Tks for your congrats and all the sweet compliments! Greatly appreciated :D
No worries about late replies, of coz your family comes 1st! Cheers! :D
I was very happy that I've found a few very good blogging friends during the first months of blogging already, and by now I see them like my real-life friends. But I agree that you need to "click". I usually feel that rather quickly - if I go to somebody's blog and like it, it's step one. Then I usually leave a comment and see what happens. The nice people visit you back and comment on your blog as well, and the really nice people not only leave a "blah blah" comment on your newest post but look around your blog a little and read your about page or browse through some older posts. The very nice people visit you a second and a third and forth time, and this is the way to friendship. :) But it doesn't happen so often, most people on who's blogs I've commented never visited back or just once.
Hi Kath! Tks for visiting again! :D
Glad to know that you'd made some gd friends and me too had found mine! :D
Yes, you're so right about that, it takes two hands to clap :)
Hope you're feeling gd 2day and have a nice day ahead! :D
Look, now we're having comment section conversations. That's one of my favorite things about blogging. :D (Too few people actually check back, they don't know what they miss!)
Yeah! Me too! This is one way to really make friends in the blogging world and to know one another more! :D
I'll always subscribe follow-up comments so that I won't missed any of the blogger's reply coz personally I feel that it's not so nice to ignore any replies :)
This is also one of the reason why I created a 'ShoutBox' in my blog, so that it's easier for me to communication with all the friends here, but I'm not sure if you'll get any email notifications from that...
Kath, I'm really glad to know you and I do feel that both of us do 'CLICK'! :D
No, I don't get notifications from your shoutbox. :( Some people also have a function that the commenters get an email when there's a reply to their comment specifically (not *all* follow-up comments), but I don't know how to install that one. :(
Happy we've met now! :D
Oic... so the shoutbox is only convenient to myself! LOL
Hmm... if I'm not wrong, only wordpress commenting box has got the reply function just like yours and blogger's is getting ALL and everyone's comment notifications once you subscribed to it. That's why ever since I started blogging, my email inbox is always FULL of emails everyday when I on my pc! LOL
Yeah me too! ^.^
You're welcome, Lyn! You are so deserving of those awards!
And honestly, I'm grateful to have found you here in the blogosphere...blogging has truly been fun for me because of wonderful & supportive people like you...:-*
Hi Tina! You're really the sweetest! :D You too make the blogosphere just like a second home for me! ^.^
