Cookie of Scrooch Chronicles gave this award, my second...
Rachel of My Soulful Thoughts and Heart of Rachel shared me these two awards and remarked, "Rowena- A real gem of a friend that I have yet to meet in person. Her daily visits is something I always look forward to."

Congratulations with the 100th post!
I got sort of tired with what you were doing the past few days. Ingat lang, don't overdo yourself too much.
Have a great week, Wenchie!
congrats for reaching 100 posts. I didn't join the Messy Fam pics as I couldn't find any.
wow!! you have ducks at home. galing :)
congrats on all your awards :)
Happy 100th Post Wenchie! Thanks for sharing all these great photos.
I would love to have a home near the beach too.
The kids are great helping out with the chores. That's what I call valuable teaching.
Looks like the kids have a large play room. Wish I had a big space too for Yohan.
How cool that you have ducks at home.
I love your photo with the giant Christmas tree.
As for the award, you're very welcome. Congrats on your other well deserved awards.
Thanks Julie for all the awards. Sorry I've just posted about it now. Re the busy schedule, I'm just rushing all the other paper works before the shop opens. Thanks for the concern. I hope to see you at the shop soon.
Hi Noemi, I bet you're so organized at home, no messy things around huh. With my four kids, every place in the house is such a mess, he he...
Hi Cookie, yes, we're taking care of ducks aside from the cats, dogs, fish and fighting cocks around. Para kaming me pet store. Minsan me naliligaw pang snake, he he...
Hi dear Rachel, everytime you would give me an award, felt so honored. Coming from you, that's quite something. I'm really so thankful I found you in the blogosphere. I know it's rare to find real friends nowadays, am so blessed I've met you here. I'm looking forward to meeting you in person soon. Btw, I would love to see Yohan play with my kids real soon.
That would be nice Wenchie.
Thanks for doing the tag. I appreciate it.
Congrats on your milestone post!
And for the many different awards. I'm sure you deserve them all!
It's nice to know more about you Rowena. Funny, I identify with some of the things there like Sanrio stationeries (and stickers too),Nancy Drew,Catholic school,etc. In my prayers, I always include besides family and friends, people I don't know- the marginalized,victims of war, poverty,children,etc.
Too bad, Krispy Kreme didn't do too well here in Ontario where Tim Hortons reign supreme (the coffee/donut shop)- we loved Krispy Kreme and we had to drive about an hour to be in the nearest KK before,ngayon it closed up.
So are you sporting the same hairstyle/length now? I'm sure,babagay sa iyo.
I like your PhotoHunt- Red picture!
Here's to more years of blogging!
100th post, wow. and a lot of awards too - well-deserved :)
san ang roti mum's?
Thanks so much Gina. You're one of my regular readers kaya I feel guilty when I wasn't able to check you out. We have the same Sanrio collection pala when we were younger, ha ha. I still have the shoulder-length hairstyle less the color. Baka ma-shock si hubby, he he.
Hi Cess, thanks also for being my friend. Really got inspired to set up my own blog when I read you guys (Rachel, Julie, Salen, Chats, Connie and Myrna) last summer. Am so thankful I have discovered the blogosphere. Btw, Roti Mum's has a store at SM Mega beside Powerbooks.
rowena, thanks for sharing more about you - the good and the not so bad...hehe. i love your straight hair, by the way. it looks good on you.
Belated Congrats sa 100th post mo! I didn't know getting chicken pox can be so life changing..heheh. Will work on the tag as soon as I get two other tags worked out..thanks!!
Happy 100th post Rowena :) ! May utang pa akong tag.
So what position are you going to run for office? ;)
Thanks so much Belle. Hope you'll have a merry holidays.
Hi Gypsy, thanks. Yeah that chicken pox almost got me into the major that I didn't want to take. Good thing, naka diskarte kagad ako, he he.
Hi Tina, thanks. Am not sure yet, 2010 is far pa...
