Sunshine Blogger Award

The Sunshine Blogger is an award given to bloggers by bloggers for bringing creativity, positivity and sunshine into the lives of readers.

Especially for Jan, I think there will be no annoucement related to tag from me, I just spent too much thinking about it… Thank you so much for mentioning me in your posts… Arya, Jan Moss, Paolo, I hope you understand why I don’t write a new post for this… and hopefully you enjoy my answers for your questions…

I’m really happy to be mentioned on one of my favorite blog! Winnie in Musings Mom of three teenagers blogging journey. Brace me self, huge traffic coming! But I’m really sorry for you, this probably won’t affect yours since this is just updated post, I will mention one of your post in future post, it’s already on drafts *prettyhappyforme*

Air hug for my friend L from A Book World! I’m sorry for air hugging you, this is because you are so friendly, is it too much?. Cringe? Well, I hold back too much thought so I will let this one slip. I will answer the 12th question here What made you nominate me? because 12 is not prime number (me trying to be handsome like Nathan from A Brilliant Young Mind (2014)).

I was like you, I had a hard time finding nominations, nominees? awardees? I really don’t understand how to use those kind of words. So I went through my readers (I really don’t have the courage to call it what it is because it’s too much of responsibility), and try contacting them by adding a comment on a random post to see if you are currently active or not. But don’t think this is just random, let’s call it, fate!

Those two weird paragraphs is dedicated to Tom from Tomos James, hahaha! Sorry! Go Big or Go Home! Let’s see how readers will react with the updates. This probably will only be read by 4 person: myself, L, Tom, and my lovely new friend Daman.

Hi Daman! This kind of funny, I nominate myself, hahaha, not funny? okay. I try my best to understand all of my readers because when I published a post it will appear on their feeds or email, so this time I commented on Daman’s Blog although it’s not my only motive, it’s called aboveandbeyondtheinfinity or thisisdamanblog? Oh, you’re going to write a post about it, I’ll happily waiting for your new post! *lovelove*

Big Thank you to the amazing Issy and Rishab from Wandering Waffles, appletomypiee and francescawho from Diary of a Twenty Something for the nomination, their blogs are super awesome please make sure that you check them out!
