Kambal na Award

Naranasan ko naman ang kahalagahan ng numerong 2 sa aking buhay. Nakatanggap ako ng dalawang blogging award kay Mabel ng Swirling Thoughts, ang Brigadeiro Award at Neno's Award.




Batay sa aking pananaliksik, salitang Portuguese ang brigadeiro na tumutukoy sa isang chocolate candy na gawa sa Brazil. Actually, ang brigadeiro ay ang pambansang candy ng mga Brazilian. Ipinangalan ang pagkaing ito sa isa nilang bantog na militar at pulitiko ng kanilang bansa na si Eduardo Gomes. Si Gomes ay isang brigadeir, ang tawag sa isang ranggo ng army na mas mataas sa Colonel pero mas mababa sa General.




Nahirapan naman akong hanapin ang kahulugan ng Neno. Hindo ko alam kung may kaugnayan ba ang larawan sa itaas sa ibig sabihin ng Neno's Award. Subalit natuklasan ko na may isang sikat na Portuguse personality na nagngangalang Neno. Siya ay tanyag na football goalkeeper sa Portugal noong dekada 80's. Hindi ko alam kung may malalim pang kaugnayan ang Neno sa Brigadeiro maliban sa pareho silang Portuguese ang origin.


Bakit ko nga ba ginagawa ang blogging? Sabi ng mga kaibigan ko, internet addict daw ako. Tama naman sila. Sa bahay namin ay ako lang ang inaabot ng umaga sa pagsu-surf ng internet. Maliban pa rito, I love writing so much. Isa kasing paraan ng pagri-release ng stress ang pagsusulat. I used to keep a diary before. Pero nang magkaroon ako ng sariling laptop, mas pinili ko na lang na magsulat online.

I am blogging to reach out those people that can be inspired with my thoughts and experiences. Blogging, thus, is one way to gain friends and extend human network. I also use blogging to keep in touch with my friends.

Ipinapasa ko ang mga awards na ito kina Pablo, Jodl, Maine at Andrei.

So here's the rules:

1. The winner can put the logo on his/her awesome blog.
2. Link the person you received your award from.
3. Nominate at least 3 other blogs.
4. Put links of those blogs on yours.
5. Leave a message on the blogs of those you’ve nominated!

Keep blogging!

National Milk Chocolate Day

Do you prefer Milk Chocolate or Dark Chocolate? I really don't care!!! LOL I love them all.

Do you like just plain chocolate or do you like to bite into caramel, marshmallow, etc? Again I'm not picky. The only type of chocolate I don't like is the jelly filleds. Yucky!!

Now this might be gross to some but I will ask. Do you smell your chocolate before you eat it? I don't but a very good friend of mine does. I have to laugh because now both her daughters do it. LOL

Do you have a favorite chocolate that you just love! My favorite national brand is Dove, I think. There are so many to choose from.

Are you lucky to have a local chocolate company in your area? Who is it? Mine is Bomboy's Chocolate in Havre de Grace, MD. They are the bomb. They can be found on google and make the yummiest truffles! A couple of years ago, the owner's son started making ice cream! Thankfully they are 20 miles away/one way so we don't get there very often!!!! I usually give the teachers chocolate and I have gotten smart and order online because the place is a mob scene during the Christmas holiday!


When: July 28th


National Milk Chocolate Day is a special day for a special treat. Are you a "Chocola-holic"? If you are, you look forward to each and every chocolate related holidays.


There are lots of flavors of chocolate. Milk chocolate is enjoyed in candies and in baking. Milk chocolate is the favorite of millions of people. So, its only fitting that it gets its very own special national day.


Important Note: Don't be dyslexic about this special day. Today is a day for Milk Chocolate, not Chocolate Milk Day.


Lest there be any doubt about celebrating this day........ Today should be spent consuming and savoring generous amounts of your favorite milk chocolate treats.


Happy National Milk Chocolate Day!
