The Sunshine Award :)


Congratulations to Maznah from Malaysia (who received the Sunshine Award from Heart - a fellow blogger from my own home, South Africa!). 

Maznah's blog is a social networking site all by itself, linking people from around the globe who have a shared interest in the arts and culture. Since I was invited to do a guest post (let us consider it a forthcoming attraction for now... :) I realised that what makes her blog so wonderfully popular is this: it's a web threaded together with all the flavours and foods of the cooks of the world, and I am quite pleased to be a part of it

... and pleased to have been given the glowing sunshine award, too! Once again, thank you Maznah :)

Rawiyah is  my pen name, and I am a Humanitarian who wants to see the world and learn new languages. I am currently buying inner peace at the cost of love, smiles and small sacrifices. 

I am required to pass the Sunshine award along to 10 amazing bloggers, who are bound by the following
rules:
1. Thank the person who gave you the award and link back to them
2. Tell us something about yourself
3. Nominate 10 other bloggers
4. Let them know you awarded them :)

Here they are (in no particular order), the recipients of the Sunshine Award:

    Congratulations, Rawiyah on your blog being honored with the award, as well as heartfelt thanks to you for your nominating my blog for the award. It is my pleasure to accept it. But, it will take me some days to make it appear there on my blog. You will have to wait to see your sunshine shining there! Thanks once again :)

    Hi Suresh

    Yes, it does take days :)
    I had to think quite a bit about which blogs to nominate, bearing in mind the title of the award and which blogs feel sunshiny :D.

    You're always welcome

    @Maznah

    Hey Wan, i responded to the comments on the post. I hope it answered all of their questions. And yes, it IS amazing to know that bloggers from around the world are all connected, some even by blood (even if not so closely:).

    I look forward to doing one for you again.

    Take Care!
