Saturday Saved- The Best for Last # 9
When I was a newbie blogger in 2007, receiving awards and being tagged always make my day. Admittedly, I have gained quite a handful of friends from doing memes, receiving and passing on awards. These awards still proliferate in the blogosphere and which gives warmth to the hearts of many bloggers.
I still have to post some long over due awards from friends who never forgotten to include me in their long list of friends. Pardon me for my indolence and procrastination. Rest assured that I appreciate the gesture and I will have to grab them all as long as my time permits.
For now, I will have to flaunt this wonderful 
Double Diamond Blogger Award from my creative, talented and intelligent blogpal Windy of Windmill on the Hill. The award entails invincibility. And what made this award more beautiful and meaningful is that it is NON-TRANSFERRABLE!
I was suffering from a splitting headache when I got home from work Friday night. I didn’t linger in front of my PC and just went to bed. I had no plans of drifting off to sleep that long but I did! I woke up at 12 midnight and immediately head over to read the post Windy had instructed me to read as I was told he has something in store for me.
If I may just quote:
She is a remarkable woman and Blogger. Despite her intermittent health problems she has continuously pursued with her passion for blogging – and it’s not one but three active Blogs simultaneously. I don’t have the stamina to accomplish that. (I actually have 4 blogs).
It is amazing how much is achievable even though there is the obvious physical distance between Bloggers from around the World. Different beliefs and cultural backgrounds that would tend to make understanding and relationship a tad difficult.
Lainy who has a robust traffic at her Blogs keeps rising to the occasion every single time and she has excelled at her Blogs. I’ve learned a few additional Blog related issues from Lainy. I am grateful to her for being generous and patient with a cranky old man who is getting slower and slower at doing things. Ha ha ha.
I was totally floored! I can’t even find the words to say anything! It’s not everyday that someone as intelligent as Windy could have described me the way he did in his post. I could hardly believe it when someone like Windy could actually learn things from an ordinary person like me- even if it’s just a few things, LOL! That is one huge compliment!
Thank you for this lovely award, Windy! What a disticnt privilege and honor being one of the recipients. I am truly humbled!
Thank you for everything!

Congrats to my favorite blogger for your “The Double Diamond Blogger Award.”
Having encountered, visited, and read a thousand blogs in my four months of intensive blogging and blog visiting, I can say that your blog, especially Lainy’s Musings, is one of the finest I have read.
Since a blog is a reflection of the personality of the owner, I can also say , in my unbiased opinion, that you are one of the best bloggers I’ve meet so far. And I have meet a thousand bloggers already through their blogs.
From your No. 1 fan and follower,

As I said to you on YM, this was indeed well said by Windy which I completely agree with. I would be at a lost for words as well because he said everything that needed to be said about you.
Like Eli, you’ve become one of my favorite bloggers as well as one of my best blogger friends!
No doubt that when Windy recognizes you for an award with a speech like that, it is much deserved!
Congrats Lainy!

Lainy,
What more may I add? It’s been echoed and re-echoed by other notable Bloggers.
Keep on rocking!
God Bless you Always.
What a nice award, no wonder you’re proud. I hope your headache is gone. People truly suffer with those migraine type headaches.

Wow I feel just awful about this now!! Windy has been so wonderful to me!!
I feel just sick!! Wow I could just cry!! I really goofed big time!!
Congratulations to you and at least you got it right!!
Love and hugs!!

Atty. Eli,
Thanks for the beautiful compliments and for speaking so highly of me. Your site is one of the Filipino blogs I am proud to be frequenting, too. Yours is definitely a no-nonsense blog and I am happy I came across it.
Thanks again for gracing my blog with your honorable presence.
Enjoy the rest of the week!
Thank you very much, David! You do deserve the same award as well for being the coolest, nicest, and the friendliest American man I know. I hope you don’t mind sharing it with Bill though, LOL!

You may add “Advance Happy Birthday, Lainy!” LOL!
Thank you so much for everything, Windy. For doing the tweaks for my blog, for hosting it in your webhost along with the Boss and Vynes. I couldn’t recount all the good things you’ve done for your friends. I may not be able to requite all the kindness you’ve shown me but please know that I appreciate them all and I am sincerely grateful!
May God bless you, too!
Thank you, Sandy! Yes, I am feeling a lot better now. Migraine really is making things so difficult for me… Sigh!
