Bebengisms Turns Two: Making Bliss

So it has been two years. Two real and royal years, mutherbelles! I never thought I'd last this crazy beautiful world of blogging. Oh, make it craaaaazier world of mommy blogging. Moms, known to be supportive and attached and devoted in rearing up their children, can have their days of nasty anonymous comments and nonsense competitions. Yup, I am assuming that all my past and current bashers/trolls/haters aka readers who love to hate me, are moms. As for the nonsense competitions, it's the tiring and never-ending contest of who wrote the best article, who got to feature the sponsor first or worst, who's the better blogger. IMO, it's a sign of insecurity. Why can't we just support one another instead of lambasting each other? Why do we have to push others down to pull ourselves up? Is that how we want our children to envision women in general? Ohhhh, this momma can't preach that much 'cause I have my days, too, you know. I am not perfect. I never said that I am. I never claimed my life is even close to perfection. I'm just chill. I'm just embracing my life as it is, one day at a time. Although at night, I cry and pray to Him for some petty problems, I am generally happy. This blog has been a blessing to me. Believe it or not, really.

Bebengisms Turns One: THANK YOU!

I would like to take this opportunity to extend thanks to the reasons behind why I'm celebrating my blogoversary. #speechmuch?

To my king, Rhambo, my one and only. You bought me this pink mean machine, my pink camera which has been my new buddy and soon a white gadget meant for the Queenstagrams (I'll be flooding for sure!); all because you need to keep me busy so I won't be bugging you. Haha! No, really. You gave the things I need because you want me to do what I love. Thank you for being the wind beneath my wings. Yes my solja boy, it's a song. But it's swak to what I want to tell you. Kisses, hugs and everything in between! See you, see you, I hope to see you more often. 

Bebengisms Turns One: Bug and Kelly Giveaway

Are you ready for more blogoversary giveaways from this castle? *batting my eyelashes*

Bebengisms Turns One: Martina's Corner Giveaway

It's Holy Monday today and for most of us, it's officially summer. It's vacation time! Actually, we haven't planned our summer vacation yet. We haven't allotted budget for that yet. But earlier, Rhambo and I talked about going to Zoobic Safari in Zambales before next school year starts. After all, we had our time in the pool last December. And LB will take swimming lessons next month. So we opt to take our little princess to a zoo. But for those mommies with new babies, who are excited to let their tots take a dip, I'm sure you won't let this season pass without going on a summer spree. Wait and hold on. Do you have all the baby essentials before heading out to the beach? As much as you'd love to garb your baby girl in a skimpy swimsuit, a rash guard is the best option. Now I know better, I used to make LB wear a bikini a la Miranda Kerr. Haha! And don't forget the sunblock! But amidst the OC-ness that any doting mom has, let us not forget to have fun with our water babies.

Bebengisms Turns One: King Sue Ham Giveaway

Okay, like what I have mentioned in my Facebook fan page, this will be my shortest giveaway ever! Aside from wanting to leave more space in my refrigerator's freezer, I would love to give these cold-cuts to the winners in an almost-fresh form (cold-cuts, fresh? #laboness). 

Bebengisms Turns One: A Revelation

This is also a Thoughtful Tuesday, by the way.

I think some of you have raised your eyebrow (left or right?) when you started to notice that I keep on calling myself a queen. Before you judge me for being such a self-absorbed, egotistical and attention whore of a blogger, let me tell you one thing first --- you are correct. 

Sardonically? No, that's the truth. I mean, what can your blog be without the attention you are craving for? An online hidden diary underneath a tree? We need readers, in order to even call ourselves, blogger. It gets me high when I receive compliments and so much flattery from random people. To be brutally honest, I'm loving it!

Bebengisms Turns One: My Own Domain

March 27, 2012: I gave birth to my second baby inside my chilly office using my laptop issued by the company. After a decision to be a SAHM, I continued my stay here. I never thought that I would be celebrating its first year with all of you. I am very blessed to have survived 11 months of living in this crazy self-gratifying blogosphere. I may have basher(s) here and there, someone even called me a high-tech chismosa (I wonder what she will call Fashion Pulis); but I didn't let it get through my senses. My pink cyber castle continued to accept chikamates, royal subjects and fellow queens inside a hot pink walk-up apartment, and I was renting from a landlady called Blogspot.
