Can I just say
"OH MY WOW! I MISSED YOU GUYS!!!" ?
I can't believe I've been away for so long!!! I've been pretty busy and I could only afford to bloghop and read but not comment. =( I hope you understand me. As much as possible, I still read through my Google Reader but I can't leave a mark in all your blogs.
AHEM GLEN!(and I'm daring you to read everything =p ) UNDER WHAT CATEGORY IS TRAVELIZTERA IN? I would also like to thank everyone who still paid me a visit despite my hiatus mode and seriously, I totally appreciate all of your thoughts.
When I got back, I was so touched by the awards I've received so I'll put them all up here in this special comeback post. =)

QUINTESSENCE by Cynthia
Cynthia, thank you for this awesome award. I am greatly touched because this one was totally unexpected. Thank you for appreciating my blog. You have one great blog too and just keep on blogging because I noticed that you are a deep person with great points and someone who makes sense. =) More power to you! =)
RULES:
* Be sure to thank and link back to the person who gave you the award.
* Share 7 things about yourself.
* Pass the award to other bloggers who you think deserves it.
* Be sure to let the bloggers know you chose them to receive the award.
7 things about myself:
1) I treasure memories. I'm "REMINISCE GIRL" You know how in some reunions, there will be that someone who will keep on saying "Hahaha remember the time...?" Yep, that's me. I can even remember stuff from my 2 year old days. Heck, I can remember what was going on inside my mother's womb. HAHA that was a joke. =p (I had to say that because a lot of you guys think I'm serious all the time. HELLLOOO? haha!) A lot of people don't remember some of the ancient stuff I'm saying so sometimes they don't know if what I'm saying is real. HAHAHAHA! Good thing I... ( off to number 2! :D)
2) I TAKE PICTURES AND VIDEOS ALL THE TIME--MOST ARE CANDID AND MOST ARE OF OTHER PEOPLE. I have proof that this or that happened. Most of the files in my storage devices are so random... Most of them are the moments that people don't really remember, so I'm lucky that I have proof whenever I talk about their rare memories (and they can't believe they really happened upon seeing the videos haha!). And yes, I've bought 1 TB of EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE and it isn't enough, so I have to buy some more. =p I don't know... I really like capturing moments on film. One friend said:"If you need to remember something, approach her (me) and ask for the video." Haha! I think I got this from my dad because he either takes a lot of photos or videos of me since I was a kid and felt like "Yeah, you gotta store these memories so that you can at least share what has been stored in your mind to other people." =) P.S. I've been doing this since I was 6 years old. LOL. Addict.
3)
I love to sing. I wanna be a broadway singer. Despite my videos of me singing something POP-ish in my
Youtube channel, I'm actually more into classical singing. I've tried all types of singing to know where I'm more into. I was in a choir, I've performed pop songs, and I even had a highschool rock band. Among them, I enjoyed performing with my rock band the most because I'm normally hyper when singing. If you've seen my videos, you now know why. Haha! But along the way of "my search for my singing path", my passion seems to be in expressing myself through musicals. I am a huge BROADWAY FAN. I love seeing musicals, especially those that were made by Andrew Lloyd Webber. I love Evita and The Phantom of the Opera. I'm sure most of you have heard about these two plays. =) Anyway, I know it's weird to hear a rocker girl who has turned into a broadway girl. Haha. Nonetheless, I'll post more videos of me doing musicals soon. :)
4) I like writing stuff. Recently, I saw some of my first written works, way back when I first learned how to write. Haha! Yes, I keep all my past notebooks. My first short story was written when I was 6 years old and it's about Felix the Cat. LOL. Of course, the grammar and spelling were bad and my head ached so bad while reading it. Nonetheless, I understood the 6 year old Traveliztera. Haha. My diary from my 6-yr old days is still here! I'll post some of the pages soon. =D And yes, you can see that when I blog, I write too much. =p
5) I love simple and "personalized" stuff. When it comes to gifts or anything shared, I appreciate simple things. Take blog awards for example. I love simple and minor awards. Though having major awards is good, the smallest ones are the closest to my heart because you know that you earned it because the person truly thought of you. When it comes to gifts, a simple bday card VS a bday pre-packaged gift = ME TREASURING THAT SIMPLE BDAY CARD. I like anything wherein thoughts had been poured out into. =) I understand that it's so hard to think of what to buy, but really, you don't have to. A simple greeting already makes my day because I know it's really sincere. =) But I still appreciate your gifts because I value the thought behind the effort of buying me one. =) But you don't have to. =)
6)
I'm a HUGE LORD OF THE RINGS enthusiast. I did not love Lord of the Rings because of
LEGOLAS (click to view my weird LORD OF THE RINGS craziness creation), okay? =p My dad influenced me on this. It was in December 2001when we were in Singapore and I was searching for some
WESTLIFE memorabilia when there was this Lord of the Rings section and dad went there. He's a fan of Tolkien. Anyway, he called me and showed me one LORD OF THE RINGS companion book and he started talking about the characters. He even pointed Legolas out and I'm like "Psh. Ugly. Dad, let's not buy that. Let's buy this Westlife magazine instead. Muhahahha!" LOL. Mom's a WESTLIFE fan so we bought that. Then dad asked me to join him and mom in watching the movie and I SEE LORD OF THE RINGS EVERYWHERE! I was really annoyed because I WANT WESTLIFE! hahahaha! I didn't go with them when they watched. Then school started and everyone was talking about Lord of the Rings! EVEN THE TEACHERS! I've had enough and decided to watch and man, now I'm into it. Muhahaha!
I'm in the movie yay! =p
7) I value friendship. A LOT. I value you guys. =)
