Today is a lovely day to be certainly generous and giving. What with all the recent issues that are happening here the in the PH (Pork Barrel scam, Typhoon Maring, Ninoy Aquino day, etc) I decided to take a trip down memory lane and it occurred to me that hey, I have a blog to update! And here I am, doing one of my silly and shameless endorsing. If you have previously read my posts, I am a person who believes in karma out of all things. That whatever good I do to one person, eventually will return to me someday.

Now, as aforementioned, I am here to endorse one of my friends: Ingrid Valeriano. She is my schoolmate, batch mate, classmate, and ka-kada (which basically means, we belong in a circle of friends). Ingrid is a hyper, food-loving, artists, and talker with a fiery spite of everything that she does. She sounds cool right? Well maybe if you check her blog, you'll get to know her and her culinary faux pas a little better.

'Course you won't see much (because she just started anew, and our other friend, Danica is helping out with her layout and fancy editing), but I assure you will be seeing much more in the future.

So as mention before, I told you that Ingrid is a food-loving person. I can fully admit that, yes. She absolutely loves all things food-related, and she loves cooking and culinary arts as well. The thing with her is that she never misses a chance to grab an exotic restaurant and just eat there y'know? That's our Ingrid, hehe. (By the way, I do wonder if she's reading this.)

Another is that she's an artist, she can draw really cool stuff. Stuff that I can never do in my whole life. I just never had a talent for drawing or sketching or painting, so sad.

And she's a really cool person, really full of spite and energy. She is so hyper all the time that it is so funny, and that is a compliment. Her blog reflects all those things, so basically her blog is her. Do you get what I mean? So as I've said before, if you watch out for her blog, you'll get to know each and every part of her cool life (just like what you're doing with mine, but mine is a little bit boring haha.)

Ingrid Valeriano: Unwarranted Delights
Twitter

By the way, I've been receiving secret messages (yes I can see you) that you want to be shamelessly advertised too. It's okay, you can e-mail me. I won't bite.

So basically I have been one to endorse most of my friends' blogs, Instagrams, twitters and such because somehow I always thought that doing good for them would probably do good for me too. And now here I am, doing the same thing because hopefully I would probably get the same karma. Recently, I have not been getting any good karma because karma is number one, a bitch. And number two, karma takes a lot of time. I may be a little selfish but being selfish is good too sometimes, right? And I sigh because if I become selfish, it might counteract my karma.

Anyway, I'll shut up about karma and get on with it. Peculiar Thoughts is my friend's blog. She writes about fashion and her travels with it. She's a beginner so be nice (unless your me because that totally gives you an excuse to not be nice, ha, just kidding). And she's not much of a blogger too so, of course give her a break. That's when I come in (the writer with no pay but with absolute talent--again, just kidding) the editor, and the amazing manager of this blog. I mostly edit, plan the photo shoots and location, hire the photographer, give ideas, and organize most of the things. So basically I do a lot of stuff for the blog. But we're not talking about me here, we're talking about her blog (@mariellaoctavo).

Peculiar Thoughts is of course, what I said earlier, a fashion blog and somehow a travel blog. Mostly a fashion blog, she just writes about her travels with it. I appreciate it if you give us criticisms because criticism is good. And I would also like if you give it a try. Read it and like it (but I'm not opposed to your opinion) and maybe you'll grow attached to it like I did. It needs a lot of work, maybe some kinks to be fixed, but it's growing one way or another. So if we had more and more followers and watchers, maybe it'll become bigger.
