Extra Room for Happiness

HAPPINESS IS... THE FAIRYHOBMOTHER!

noreply@blogger.com (KM) — Thu, 06 Sep 2012 18:53:00 +0000

Happiness is...

...finding the Fairyhobmother's trail here! I've been reading a lot of bloggers' close encounter with him and joining him in his mission of spreading happiness across the cyberworld, and I've been following and stalking him around blogs, so you can just imagine how happy I was this morning when I saw that he finally noticed me. Hooray!

The Fairyhobmother mentioned that he and his fairy lords had been very busy recently over there in woodland, but I had no clue that they actually do daily household chores like us, too. In fact, he even showed me the Top 5 Washing Machines they use! Jeez, who would've thought that? I bet you that you were never told about that back in your fairy storytelling days. Pretty interesting, eh? ;)

Anyway, before the Fairyhobmother left my blog to flutter by another blog, he said that if my friends leave a comment here, there's a big chance he will also visit them. So, guys, if you want to know more about the Fairyhobmother and join him as well in his mission, comment away and make sure to leave links where he can visit you. Who knows, you might be the next lucky blogger he'll get in touch with!

Thanks again, Fairyhobmother!☻

HAPPY BLOGGER OF THE WEEK #17

noreply@blogger.com (KM) — Fri, 04 May 2012 02:56:00 +0000

Dear Happy Bloggers,

Please don't get mad at me for posting this so late and STILL not having visited your past two Happiness Is meme entries :( I hope you all forgive me for being in a semi-hiatus blogging state. I haven't updated my blogs for the past two weeks, actually, going three now. That being said, I have yet to drop by to all those who left comments in any of my three blogs - scratch that - I haven't even approved comments yet! I know... tsk, tsk, hence, my apologies.

Anyways, here's our featured entry for week #17:

Munting Pangarap ni Ningning!

This post made me singing, "I am but a small voice, I am but a small dream..." ♪♫ Thanks, Ning, for sharing the story of your childhood dream. May God continue to bless you and answer your sincerest dreams. And take note, as far as I can remember, binulsa ko talaga yang Ingles mong yan! ☻

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In a little short while, Happiness Is #18 link is going live. I hope you guys continue to join in and share your happy stories in this meme. By next week, I'll make sure to catch up on blogging and start approving comments and visit back all your entries for the past two weeks. Until then! :)

Thanks to Random.Org, I need not use any magic to select Happiness Is meme's weekly happy blogger, but maybe we can ask our featured blogger for week #11 if she's learned a little Abracadabra or Alakazam from the entertaining magic show she had recently watched ☻

Congrats, Rosemarie!

And before I forget, I wanted to give my heartfelt thanks to all my blogging buddies who left congratulatory comments for my hubby's Resident of the Month award. Muchas gracias!

See you all again this Friday for another round of happy posts ☻

XoXo

HAPPY BLOGGER OF THE WEEK #8

noreply@blogger.com (KM) — Tue, 28 Feb 2012 18:42:00 +0000

Alright, I guess ROVIE got her four-leaf clover back, because as you can see by the True Random Number Generator screen shot here, she is again our Happy Blogger for week #8. Yay! Six out of eight, Rovie. Seriously, how do you do that? Hehe!

Anyweiz, if you haven't done yet, please do check out Rovie's post about her awesome chess champ nephew, Macky ☻

------------------------------------------------------

Okay, thanks to Rona, I once more have been tagged with the Enchanted Blog Award. *Clap clap* Therefore, I'm taking this opportunity to once again accept this award *flashes a leg like Angelina Jolie*. Hehe!

Enough of me being silly, here goes another seven truths about me:

1. I don't believe in zodiac signs nor horoscopes but for the heck of it, mine is Taurus.

2. According to Wikipedia, 35% of the population do not develop wisdom teeth at all. I believe I am one of the 35%.

3. My all-time favorite fruit is watermelon.

4. I was a member of my elementary school's Book Lovers Club and I spent a good time reading books as well as doing library chores back then. Among those books I read from our school library were Sweet Valley Kids/Twins, Choose Your Own Adventure, Encyclopedia Brown, Nancy Drew and a lot more other children books.

5. I play chess and volleyball, and most recently, I got into bowling and so, now I'm planning to buy my own bowling ball and shoes ☻

6. I like watching Glee, House of Anubis and Make It or Break It.

7. My favorite color is red.

Wow! That was brain racking. I really think seven is too much. LOL.

Anyways, similarly when I first received this award last week, I'm making this free for grabs to whoever. Linking back to the person you're receiving the award from is highly appreciated and encouraged. Likewise, if you're grabbing this award and would like me to link you back in this post, just drop me a comment and I would be happy to do so :)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Again, thanks to all of the happy bloggers here who unwaveringly support our meme. I'm looking forward to reading your happy posts again for Happiness Is... meme week #9. See yah!

HAPPY BLOGGER OF THE WEEK #7

noreply@blogger.com (KM) — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 00:13:00 +0000

We have a new Happy Blogger feature today! Random.Org seemed to have finally heard Rovie's petitions to spare her name this time, so for week #7, let's focus the spotlight to:

JESSICA CASSIDY

What's one of the things that made Jessy happy last Valentine's Day? Filipino goodies from her husband ♥ If you haven't visited her entry yet, be a doll and hop by :)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Okay, I'm hitting two birds with one stone here so I hope you all won't mind that I take this chance to receive the Enchanted Award Ferry tagged me with.

The drill is to tell seven things about yourself, and pass on the award:

1. KM stands for Karen Mae. Some of you know that by now. It's one of the several nicknames I go by, and although I've been using it since my senior high school days as well as during my senior college days, it has become lately more specific to my online friends. As an alternative, I sometimes spell it as KayeM.

2. I'm not a morning person. 'Nuff said.

3. In my younger years, I hoped and dreamt to be a writer and/or a doctor, but God, in His wisdom, made me a doctor's wife who blogs instead.

4. I'm Filipino by blood and Canadian by citizenship but I live in the United States.

5. I learned to read and write at a very young age, even before I learned how to tie my shoelaces or comb my hair.

6. I'm a Dvorak typist and not willing to revert to QWERTY.

7. I have natural wavy hair.

Whew! Seven was a little bit too much, don't you think? LOL.

Anyway, I would love to keep the chain going, pass on this award and tag my blogging buddies with it, but I thought it best to leave the award here free for grabs to anybody who wants to claim it. If you're grabbing it and would like to be linked back in this post, just leave me a comment and I would be delighted to oblige :)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks again to all those who joined Happiness Is meme week #7. I hope to see you all again here on week #8 for another round of happy posts ☻ Blog ahoy!

HAPPINESS IS... #7

Happinesss is...

...the gift of love ♥

Since I already got my Valentine's present (popcorn) in late January, I wasn't really expecting to get another present from my sweet husband on Valentine's day itself.

A couple of minutes after the clock struck midnight, my husband and I were still up in our bed, when I asked him to scratch my back. I laid on my chest and soon after he started scratching my back, he got up and asked me if I have powder that he can put on my back. With my back turned onto him, I couldn't really see him, but I could hear him going around the room and opening one of the drawers of our dresser as if looking for something (I was thinking of powder or lotion perhaps). Without looking at him, I replied that I don't have any powder. He then went back to bed and lay beside me. He swung an arm over my body reaching to my itching back. While fiddling with my iPhone, I turned to face him. He then said, "I know what can make that itchiness go away." I felt his hand scoop something from under my pillow, and then he surprised me with this blue box which I immediately recognized (from my engagement ring and wedding ring), and then he said, "Happy Valentine's Day, love." I eagerly and very excitedly opened the box, and lo and behold, a very beautiful and precious diamond and pearl white gold necklace sparkled in front of me. I couldn't contain my happiness I felt like crying! Best Valentine's Day ever ♥

Thank you, Vince, for being the wonderful husband you are. Your gift of love is more than enough for me to rejoice every day, but you always go the extra mile to keep me extraordinarily happy and superbly satisfied at all times. I love you forever and for always.
