Mystery Blogger Award

Hello, my dear readers! Yesterday, James A, an amazing person with inspiring posts and great writings nominated me for the Mystery Blogger Award. I am very grateful and thankful for the nomination, as this is my third one. Check out Mr. James Blog and discover amazing inspirational posts that will change your life!

The Mystery Blogger Award is an award for amazing bloggers with ingenious posts. Their blog not only captivates; it inspires and motivates. They are one of the best out there and they deserve every recognition they get. This award also is for bloggers who find fun and inspiration in blogging, and they do it with so much love and passion – Okoto Enigma.

The Mystery Blogger Award Rules :

1. Put the award logo on your blog.

2. Thank the blogger who nominated you and provide a link back to their blog.

3. Mention the creator of the award and write his words out.

4. Answer the five questions you were asked.

5. Tell the readers three things about yourself.

6. Nominate 10 to 20 Bloggers for this award.

7. Notify your Nominees by commenting on any of their blog posts.

8. Ask your nominees five questions with one weird or funny one.

9. Share a link back to your best posts.

3 Things About myself:

I am very eager to learn new things and to continually develop;
I love everything that I do in the present and I am grateful to God for bringing me in the present;
I never give up.

Questions that I have to answer to:

1.What is your favorite past time ?

I like to think in the past at only the things that made me happy. At the gorgeous moments that made me laugh and enjoy life from the bottom of my heart. At the moments when I learned new amazing things and I developed myself as a person and as an individual in the society.

Also, as George Harrison stated: “It’s being here now that’s important. There’s no past and there’s no future. Time is a very misleading thing. All there is ever, is the now. We can gain experience from the past, but we can’t relive it; and we can hope for the future, but we don’t know if there is one.”

2. What is your favorite book to read ? Why ?

Regarding favorite books I have a full theory. I am more of a person that ignores SF movies but absolutely enjoys the presence of the unknown fantastic reality in books. So, my favorite books are the Vampire Series, Anne Rice and her famous Vampire writings, The Vampire Academy, Harry Potter etc.

3. Who do you think will out smart the other the Road Runner or Daffy Duck ?

It’s actually impossible to determine which one is the most clever and ambiguous from these two characters. Their personalities are pretty strong and different, so I tend to believe that it’s impossible to out smart one another.

4. What would you be doing on a rainy day ?

That pretty much depends on what I plan to do on a specific day. If its during the week I have to grab an umbrella and go to work. If it’s the weekends I prefer to do home activities, clean up the house or simply relax myself with a cup of hot lemon tea while writing on the blog.

5. What is your favorite type of music to listen to ?

I don’t usually stick to one single type of music. If in the past I listened more to pop music, now I am more into K-Pop and commercial music. But there are times when I like to listen to jazz, piano even opera. Also, I might listen out of the blue to rock music, depending on my mood.

Victor Hugo stated: “Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.” I believe it will be too silent to listen to only one type of music.

My lucky nominees are:

The questions for my nominees:

What is your favorite quote?
Describe 3 things that characterize you the most and define you as a person!
What is your opinion on the Law of Attraction Subject?
What do you like the most about the Spring Season?
If you would have to start all over again in this life, what will be your first step or the journey?

I have a lot of favorite movies actually. My very last favorite movie is The Great Debaters. I like to think it gives strength and power to the spectator.

Why shouldn’t I? Everyone must believe in miracles. God gives us a miracle every day, we are just too blind to see.

My favorite song… . As you probably observed, I have a blog category which is named Song of the Day. I have tons of favorite songs, my last favorite is this one.

Do You believe that pain makes you stronger ?!

In spite of what people may think, pain does make you stronger. Even though at the moment you feel weakness and sadness, eventually in time you grow stronger and build your own strength.

Answer the questions.
Nominate 11 other bloggers and ask them 11 new questions.
Notify the nominees about it by commenting on one of their blog posts.

My answers to Libarah Questions are:

Whom you are close to more Mom or Dad?

At this question I don’t really have a real answer. I like to think that I am close to both of them and I like to thank to both of them for all the support and good guiding in life.

2. What is your favorite food?

I can’t say I have a favorite food. I believe in the quote: „You are what you eat” and try to build and good and balanced menu for every day of my life.

3. Who is your idol of life?

I don’t have an idol. I like to believe in myself and make the best of it.

4. What do you consider your greatest weakness to be?

I used to talk a lot. And most of the time I don’t think it through, I got messy in time and did a lot of tasks in the same time without a logic. But I am trying to get better and make from myself a really good person.

5. What does your perfect day look like?

My perfect day is that day when all the things are going good and I don’t have issues or complaints. My perfect day lingers around the loved ones and my family.

I like to consider myself the best friend, as long as the other person shares my opinion and have the same desires as I do.

7.What is your favorite thing to do?

I like to write and I like to sketch. I like to be creative and I like to be good at what I do.

8. Have you ever been heartbroken?

To that question. my dear Libarah, I can answer that in each and every day life hits you. To be heartbroken it means to be weak most of the time, and you don’t want to be weak and to seem weak. I used to be heartbroken, I had issues in love and life and I like to think that every time when I got heartbroken I learnt a lesson.

9. Would you rather be rich or famous?

I think these two are synonyms, to be rich means to be famous in a certain measure. But I guess I will chose to be HAPPY.

10. What does the meaning of love to you?

Love is the most powerful and strong feeling in the world. If you can feel love it means you are blessed, and if you feel the love then you found the meaning of life.

11. What makes you feel most loved?

Back in the days when I was a student and worked a lot I remember that I wanted to be a part of something, to be involved and have a family. I remember I used to watch the windows of my neighbors and saw people laughing, I saw children smiles and I saw happiness. In those years all I could feel was loneliness, rush and routine. Now I feel loved when after a long day of work I came home and find my family, my husband and my cat. I feel loved when I feel the warmth of my house, and almost I can taste the love and the feeling of belonging.

Calator printre astrii virtuali

The blogger recognition award II

Hello dear writers and readers again!

So, I have to say I am really, truly sorry. Miss Samridhi nominated me for this award on 13 october, and I just saw it, it was in the spam „collection”. I am honored and deeply thankful for this nomination, and I wish I could say thanks a little bit sooner (hope Samridhi won’t mind 😀 ).

BloggerRecognitionAward

The rules of this award are:

Thank the blogger that nominated you and give a link to their site;
Do a post to show your award;
Give a summary of how the blog started in the first place;
Give two pieces of advice for any new bloggers;
Select at least 10 bloggers for this award;
Let each nominee know you’ve nominated them and give a link to your post.

I must say that this is the second time I have been nominated for this award. I will be sharing with you the story of how my blog started:

As I said in the last post of Recognition Award, Kate’s Blog „took life” in 2013, five years ago. To be honest I didn’t give that much thought back in those days, I just had an eager wish to write, I wanted that with all of my heart and mind. I seem amazed by the think that people could read what you write and could appreciate your effort, your talent, that what you write today wouldn’t be forgotten in years on a old piece of paper.

Now, looking back I wouldn’t give up on writing for anything in the whole world. Writing is a part of me and will always be, it’s more than a hobby and more than a desire. I just wish to learn more and more, and in time be a successful writer, I want to inspire people.

I must say that even though I have spent 5 years on this platform I feel that I’m not yet an excellent blogger and that I still want to accumulate more knowledge, I want to develop even more.

My two small pieces of advice for any new bloggers are:

Be yourself. Let words you write be your way of expressing YOU, as a person, as an entity; let those words define and talk about the real you. Be sincere.
You have to be consistent. The words you write have to have a logic and a certain length. You can’t just write two sentences and finish an article. Admit that before you write for readers you write for yourself. Before publishing a new article, ask yourself: Am I satisfied by the post? Do I enjoy the quality of it? If you like the post then the readers must love it.

My nominees for this award are:

Thank you very much, Miss Samridhi and wish you all the best in life as a blogger and as a person!

Un cadou neasteptat de la un blogger talentat/An unexpected gift from a talented blogger

Buna ziua dragilor!

In urma cu cateva zile, citeam cateva articole in cititor WordPress si unul dintre articolele care mie personal mi-au atras atentia se refera la crearea de logo-uri pentru anumite companii/firme/persoane. Aici este articolul care m-a surprins in mod placut: https://bittermarshmellos.wordpress.com/2018/09/12/graphix-some-of-my-best-logos-so-far/ .

Toate aceste sigle/logo-uri sunt create de catre o persoana minunata al carei scop este de a arata amaraciunea care sta la baza dulcetii „marsmallows-urilor”, pe care el il defineste ca adevar.

Partea buna este ca la cererea mea, acest blogger mi-a facut si mie un logo, care arata cam asa:

Consider ca toate aceste creatii realizate de bittermarshmellos sunt demne de apreciat si isi merita respectul si cinstea cuvenita.

Doresc sa ii multumesc lui bittermarshmellos pentru faptul ca si-a rupt din timpul sau pretios pentru a realiza o adevarata creatie artistica. Apreciez efortul si amabilitatea!

English version

Hello my dear readers!

A few days ago, I read a few articles in the WordPress reader and one of the articles I personally drew my attention to is about creating logos for certain companies/people.

Here is the article that surprised me pleasantly: https://bittermarshmellos.wordpress.com/2018/09/12/graphix-some-of-my-best-logos-so-far/.

All these logos / logos are created by a wonderful person whose purpose is to show the bitterness that underlies the sweetness of „marsmallows”, which he defines as the truth.

The good part is that at my request, this blogger also made me a logo that looks like this:

I believe that all these creations made by bittermarshmellos are worthy of appreciation and deserve their respect and honor.

I would like to thank bittermarshmellos for breaking out of his precious time to achieve a true artistic creation. I appreciate your effort and kindness!
