it was an honour just to be nominated

haha, just kidding. I was awarded my first blogger award from the lovely Gracie!

So I must say 7 things about myself and pass it on to 7 other lovely ladies.

  1. My parents eloped to get married
  2. I drink a glass of skim milk with one tablespoon of ovaltine before bed time, every night.
  3. My name is the combination of my parents names: Jo (from Jose) Zen (from Zenaida) Jo+Zen=Jozen
  4. I have known my husband since we were 14 years old, we started to date at 17, got engaged at 23 and married at 25
  5. I was in labour with my first baby for 36 hours
  6. I was in labour the entire duration of my 27th birthday
  7. I don't go a day without talking to my mom or either of my 2 sisters

Now I pass this lovely award onto these lovely ladies:

Alely

Sandy

Elizabeth

Sharon

Flora

Leslie

Lita

Thank goodness I won because I haven't had time to practice my ''you-beat-me-but-I-am-a gracious-loser-face''.

Thanks Gracie!

On another note, it's my cousin's 18th birthday tomorrow. It's a pretty big deal in my culture...we celebrate with a big birthday party called a cotillion. It's kind of a mini wedding (minus the groom!).

My aunt asked me to be the MC. I hate public speaking! Actually, I just don't hate it, I am terrified by it, please wish me luck!

I will be back Monday with some photos.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Congratulations! Love your name and I just knew it was a mix of your parents' names. Filipinos invented the name mashup-Brangelina, Bennifer, Speidi. LOL!

Many congrats on the award! And good luck playing MC! Just focus on having fun. I've been on stage many times and that's the best solution I've come up with. Imagining people in their underwear? Believe me, it's a bit weird.
