This “Kreativ Blogger Award.” was given by Vivian Zabel, president of 4RV Publishing and author of the blog, “Brain Cells and Bubble Wrap“, to Holly Jahangiri of the blog “It’s All a Matter of Perspective: Mine”

Holly , also the author of the children’s book – “Trockle” – has now passed on the award to me. Thanks, Holly.

The mechanics is to write “Seven Things About Me That People Might Find Interesting” and then pass on the award to bloggers whom you think are “kreative.” The rules are found below. I lifted this verbatim from Holly’s site:

So here are the seven things about me that you may find interesting:

1. I love music and I could carry a tune. Perhaps if I had started training while I was still young, then I would have developed this talent. Unluckily, this was not granted so I just sing in the confines of my room, or in the comfort room….he he he…My favorites are Kenny Rogers, Carpenters, ABBA, Mariah, Celine, Westlife, and Savage Garden.

2. I have acrophobia, most people do. But it’s different with me, I only fear high-rise buildings and not mountain peaks or flying; the ground seems to be beckoning, ouch!

3. I once wrote a sci-fi short story which I believed was my best. I had created an entirely new world for it, with matching vocabulary; but alas, it was rejected by all local magazines while some of what I thought were not so good were accepted. I don’t know where that manuscript is now.

4. My next project after the Inspirational Book is a poetry magazine with three poets – Zorlone and Roy and of course me. I am still deciding whether to include other poets. I’m so excited about this, as this would be with colored pictures. I hope you’ll reserve a copy. The first one will be available by first week of October.

5. I love crossword puzzles. Whenever I find one, I try to answer it, but I never bought a book on crossword puzzles. Come to think of it, perhaps I’ll buy one soon.

6. I played the quitar when I was in college, sang James Taylor, Carole King , John Denver and even the Stylistics. I played for the church choir too.

7. I hate hypocrites. Pompous people who believe that they alone have the monopoly of all the goodness and virtues that God has handed down to humans. People who fulfill their religious rituals exceptionally well, but who are indifferent once they are outside the confines of their churches. Well, I am hypocritical too at times but I don’t shout to high heavens that I’m better than anyone else.

So these are the things I hope you’ll find interesting about me. The other more shocking truths, I have to keep them to myself.

I would like to pass this award to:

Aleluia Sanjuan a.k.a Punky Paige of PunkyPaige.com . Her blog is one creative venue for anything under the sun from political commentaries, to poems, to videos, to random thoughts and many more. It would surely take a very enterprising blogger to come up with various posts in different categories.

I also passed this on to anyone who thinks he/she can be creative.

Feel free to post this in your blog. Happy Blogging!

Incidentally, I have new posts:
