Whoa! This is definitely unexpected. To be nominated and acknowledged again by amazing and talented writers all over WordPress is truly incredulous. Sometimes I think that I am not worthy of all these, but my heart is filled with adoration and gratefulness. I am so fortunate and proud to be a part of this awesome community. Thank you so much for the love and support.
I want to extend my appreciation to Ms. Pink Peeli for the nomination, her writings are truly incredible and extraordinary.
The Versatile Blogger Award was created to feature and recognize blogs that have unique content, high quality of writing and fantastic photos.
THE RULES ARE:
- Thank the person who nominated you with a link to their blog. Include the banner in your post.
- Tag it under #versatile blogger award.
- Tell 7 things about yourself. What are some fun facts about yourself?
- Keep up with the chain and nominate bloggers for this award.
7 BORING THINGS ABOUT ME:
1. I am a Filipino. I am verily proud of that fact. Although I love speaking, writing and using the English language, I will always be proud of my nationality. Mabuhay!
2. I am weird. I talk to myself a lot. I argue with my inner character, I judge myself, I criticise myself. I prefer talking to myself than talking to people. (No wonder I have no friends, haha!)
3. I actually have one of the easiest jobs in the whole world. I am not gonna say that I hate it, but I am planning on looking for greater opportunities professionally.
4. I am always online. like, 24/7. At home, at the office, in the bus, in the metro, I am literally a social media freak (I still don’t have friends, though). If you want to connect with me, you can check my Twitter (https://twitter.com/wondercyncyn) Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/wondercyncyn/) and Facebook account (https://www.facebook.com/MarXiendra) I would love to be friends with you. I always REPLY. Always.
5. I adore cats. I love cats. I am in love with anything about cats. I pick up stray cats and kittens, I adopt abandoned and abused cats. I am a cat lady. A cat is my spirit animal.
6. Although I’m Filipino, I don’t watch Filipino films, I am a fan of foreign movies and TV series.
7. Honestly, one of my WordPress goals is to help the newbies or new bloggers. I want to welcome them, I want to make an award for them, I want to nominate them, I want them to feel appreciated and accepted. I want them to continue writing and grow their page.
THESE ARE MY NOMINEES: (I NOMINATED A LOT OF PEOPLE BECAUSE I WANT TO KEEP THIS NOMINATION GOING.)

Being Filipino to me sounds exotic. To you, I guess it’s normal.
I saw a feature story on TV recently that was about the awful films USA companies made in the Philippines in the ’60s and ’70s. I think, I hope, that’s done. Should make good films there.
I’m happy you like cats. I had my cat for nineteen years from when she was a foundling, pulled out of traffic, to when she died in my arms not so long ago. They’re great company, aren’t they?
It’s great that you’re helping bloggers come on board. Continued good luck!

Well, the films are characterized by sex and violence, especially violence. They were apparently made with very small budgets and took advantage of local labor not being paid very much. The actors from the USA commented on lack of creature comforts for everyone who came and stayed to make the movies. Can I repeat any of the titles? Not really–they aren’t memorable. I think prisons and chains and death and slaughter and the like were typically used. One important film was made this way, though with known actors and director. This was Apocalypse Now.
For the several days, I’ve been cat-sitting for friends who are traveling. I’m reminded every day how funny and irascible cats are.
It’s important that you’re encouraging others. You need to take care of you as well, of course.
