Friends, I Need Your Blessings

....or I will throw myself down this road.

If you don't understand what am talking about , it's okay, It's me. You see a couple of months ago I got an email from The Philippine Blog Awards that I received a nomination for the Beauty and Fashion category, all thanks to Ezra Montemayor for nominating me. And today, a very special day, I made the final cut. See here. (Evidence????) Seriously? The Philippine Blog Awards???? Big Deal! It made me really happy to think that there's someone out there thinking of me as a "blogger". Sometimes it's difficult for me to believe in myself and in what I do. Most of the time I cringe at the thought of me actually reaching out to people, afraid am being arrogant for accepting praise and comments, afraid it would get into my head. Because seriously how can it not get into your head?

Blogging changed my life. But not really. You know what I mean?

Recently my family got hold of an old magazine where I got a little feature alongside other Manila's top bloggers. My brother was like "Ate Ikaw to? Nasa magazine ka? Paano?" (Ate, is this you? You we're in a magazine? How?) Why didn't you tell us? ...well among many-more-other questions. I have no idea why I didn't told them. I can't remember my reasons last year. I know it's a big deal, at least for me. Deep inside it is. I am happy. Am leaping with joy. I remember not sleeping out of excitement. But each time am about to tell them I shrug it all off and think it's not that big a deal. So forgive me for not telling this one to you. I tried to make a post about it, but it never happened. Again I don't know why. Guess, I really need to believe in myself more.

You see I blogged because I am a loser. I still feel the same way till now. But that's another story I will tell you soon since I am (now) confident enough to admit how much of a loser I am.

It's a crazy world out there. But am glad I have come to "meet" you all here. I am grateful for you. I don't say that because I wanna butter you up. c",) But seriously am happy doing this little thing called blogging. Am glad that through Denise Katipunera, I am able to talk about my life as a wife and a mother in a positive way and to share with you my latest fashion interests and my thrift adventures. I am happy here. Denise Katipunera is my other home and I hope you feel that you're always welcome in here.

Anyway, this is long.

I am happy that's all.

I hope you're happy for me too.

love, Denise
