Are you a woman of substance?

You don't need to answer immediately. I'd love to know about that later, in the comments. Let me tell you a story first.

Few days earlier, I spent one beautiful weekend afternoon with two of my current favorite women in my life -- Martine and Louise. Yes, ze Dainty Mom and Mommy Practicality. I'm a loyal reader of these powerful blogs, so to say that I'm happy being offline friends with the authors is an understatement. The happiness didn't just stay inside me. It was seen, heard and felt that day. In fact, if you had passed by our table in Cibo, where we had our lunch, you can even smell it -- it smells like vagina. Hahaha! Okay, not literally. We were just sooo woman in what we were, were talking about and all that jazz that happened. Like what Louise said in her post about our Mademoiselles' Day Out, "What happened or talked about on that table, will stay there and will remain sacred to us three." 


I know it sounds intriguing. We actually just shared a little about ourselves with another. And being with Martine, my numero uno bloggy momspiration, and Louise, who has the strength I so admire, I have absorbed much-needed wisdom that could be a foundation for one to become a woman of substance.

Royal Makeover Project: The Write On Workshop

Bebengisms is a representation of who and what I am, so I'm taking good care of it. I am a work in progress and so is my blog. Let this series take you in my journey of doing a royal makeover for my cyber palace. This Royal Makeover Project will not be over as long as I welcome change in my own life. There is no deadline to achieving royalty, if you may ask.
While others change their blogs' design in the goal of doing an 'overhaul', I thought of cultivating its heart and soul first: the content. 

I have a confession: I used to tap brands and online stores for giveaway sponsorship so this could gain traffic. There is nothing wrong with that, IMHO. I searched on ways to make this little pink space get noticed by netizens and one of which is to host giveaways. To be honest, I found it very, very addicting. I wanted an easy way to reach the top so I did it (as compared to comment exchanges, etc). I am not someone who could just wait to succeed. I do what I can to get what I want. So one year later, I got it; but somehow, I got tired. It saddened me that some giveaway winners weren't really my readers that until now, they haven't replied to my email. I just asked if they have received their prizes. And I got pfft. Nada. Zero. Sigh. So I decided to makeunder my giveaway posts.

Sorrowful rant over.
