My 1st Blogging Award!!!

Just a while ago, I received a note from a fellow food blogger that she is passing on the Stylish Food Award to me! I am so honored! I am overjoyed to received my first award! I must admit that when I started Pinay In Texas Cooking Corner last January 14, I didn't know where I was heading. All I wanted that time was to be able to share my recipes. The past 47 days of blogging has truly been a wonderful journey for me! Each day, I learn new things that will help me improve not only as a cook but also as a blogger. And for this first award, I will forever be thankful to Saraworldcook of Homestyle Cooking Around The World! Thanks for choosing me and letting me know that someone truly appreciates what I'm doing! :)

If you haven't visited her blog, be sure to check it out! She has a wide variety of recipes that you'll surely love. My favorite is her Bacalaitos (Codfish Fritters)...I'm sure you'll love it too!

Following the rules of the award, I have to:

1.  Make a post about the award, thank the person/s who gave the award and put a link back to the person/s site.

2.  Share 7 things about myself.

3.  Pass the award to 10 recently discovered great bloggers.

4.  Contact these bloggers and personally tell them about the award.

7 Random things about me a.ka. PinayInTexas

1. I'm originally from the Philippines so I'm a Filipina (Pinay). It was in Nov. 2004 when I relocated here in Texas with my husband and eldest daughter.

2. I have a Christmas birthday…quite hated it when I was a kid for the main reason that I never got the chance to enjoy having separate Christmas and birthday gifts.

3. I’m a Registered Electrical Engineer (REE) in the Philippines - never practiced it though! I was an instructor for a year at UST Electrical Engineering Department…and Differential Equations, DC/AC Circuit Analysis, Electric Machinery and Electrical Shop Practice are the subjects that I handled. The next 6 six years of my career was spent as a Network and Datacom Engr. at China Banking Corporation. Then after that, my life as a full-time wife & mom started. :)

4. Perfume is one thing I can’t live without! Lacoste Pour Femme, Estee Lauder’s Pleasures and D&G Light Blue are among my faves.

5.I have RH- blood type and I'm among those 3% of the general population who have mitral valve prolapse.

6.I love cooking and I enjoy trying new recipes. Japanese food is my second favorite next to Filipino food! How I wish I can go to Japan for a taste of authentic Japanese food!

7. I've worked for 7 years...but it’s in the past 6 years of being a full-time mom that I experienced the greatest fulfillment in my life. Professional success – I admit I like it - but the fulfillment in knowing that I've been able to watch & guide my girls well during their growing up years is something no professional success could match!

10 blogs that I have recently discovered and want to pass on the award to:

(I've been following a number of food blogs and would love to give this award to all of them. But since I can only choose 10,  I picked the ones that I really like and find really stylish and original!)
