Thanks š
Ha ha. Awesome story Jenny. I loved it. Almost 35-40% of it is true about me too. Thanks a lot (infinity) for taking your precious time and sharing this cutest & pleasing story. I feel extremely honored at this moment. Feeling really elevated with joy. Thanking God almighty that he introduced you to me. Thanks again for this meanful friendship šššā£ļø
Only up to 40%? Hmm… oh well, I still like you 100% š
That’s so kind of you. Much love Jennyšššā¤ļøšā£ļøšš
Congratulations Jenny. Had a great time reading your answers. But I wonder at the sight of the book Breaking slowly. Are you a published author? It puzzles me, the image of the book. š¤š¤If so, I am extremely humbled for being a small part of your worldā¤ļøā¤ļø
Thanks Olivia! Happy you enjoyed reading it ā¤ļø
And yes, I’m a published author. You can see all my books here: https://jessicaelarsen.com/books/ but Breaking Slowly isn’t there because I’m still wondering if I’m supposed to submit it to a publisher or even self-publish it because this memoir involved a crime against a government. The last thing I want is for my experience to repeat itself. š°
Oh god, you have written a lot within this small time. And the titles of your books are extremely fantastic. I really feel honored to be a part of your writing world. Thank you very much for letting me in. Much love Jennyš¤©š
Thanks Olivia! (or is it Tushara?) And come on, you’re making me shy! It’s the other way around. I’m happy that you’re a part of my world. š
You can call me whatever you like. It makes me very happy to hear such kind words from you. Thanks a lot Jennyš
Then I’ll keep calling you Olivia. I love the name and I love this article about Olivia from Urban Dictionary:
An amazing girl! She’s trustworthy, pretty, intelligent, kind, and hilarious. I’m so lucky to have her in my life.
She’s a beautiful girl with an amazing body. She’s charismatic, sophisticated and powerful. But she can also be very weird and crazy.
Laughs at her own jokes.
She’s incredibly smart, has a way with words and is a great listener. She loves helping people with their personal problems.
She doesn’t take shit. She’s gonna catch your shit and throw it back at your face. Do NOT get in her bad side. She doesn’t like being surrounded by many people, so if you’re close to her, she considers you very special.
She’s pretty tall with adorable hands and the cutest feet!
She’s the kind of person who eats a whole pizza by herself and not gain weight. Like, what?
She doesn’t like olives, unless they’re in her martini.
She’s a very special girl.
An elegant name for an elegant girl.
You’re lucky if you know an olivia. She’s an amazing friend, and an amazing lover. Very passionate and romantic. Unless you get on her bad side.
She can be shy and sophisticated, but can also be SO badass.
She’s extremely talented and artsy. Very good at sports as well.
She truly has it all. Looks, brains, personality. If you know an Olivia, cherish her.

And so I’ll be cherishing this friendship with you š
Congratulations, Jess! You really have a sense of humor and I love that. š You have a cute adorable son. š I envy you for having your own novels. Iām a late bloomer so mine is still WIP.
Thanks Weng! He’s an adorable boy refuse to give me permission to squeeze. Nakakagigil eh… š
No worries, as long as you keep writing I’m sure that WIP will be complete. The worse thing a writer can do is give up.
Youāre welcome, Jess! I know, right? I have 3 remember. š
Thank you for the assurance, Jess! It’s not yet finished but I have already a cover. š It was illustrated by my daughter. I persuaded her to do it before school starts and sheāll be busy the whole year. She only did it after I told her my WIP is halfway. š
Yeah, you through with what I’m going through 3 times hahaha š
I sometimes experience the same thing. Having the book cover ready can be also a motivation to finish the book. Good luck with the rest Weng, halfway is better than nothing.
Yes! Iām reaping the rewards finally! Youāll get there. I missed their naughtiness and inquisitiveness especially when they asked where babies come from. š
Thank you for the encouragement, Jess! ā¤ļø
Oh my god, I’ll deal with that when the time comes. š
Anytime Weng. When you’re done I hope I’ll be one of the first to read it š
This is such a thorough answer to the blogging award. You’re so right about it being a lot of work. I gave up accepting awards years ago, because life is too short š Is that your little son? He’s adorable.
Thank you ā¤ļø Yes, that’s my son. He’s a year younger there and tolerated me a bit more and even humor me when I take a lot of pictures of him. Nowadays, when I want to take a picture of him especially when he feeds the doves, he’d scream “Mama come here!” and it’s completely hopeless to get a good shot. š
I can understand giving up awards. I too have an urge to do that, but when I ran out of stuff to post this nomination is a good substitute. š But then again as you said life is too short. Besides, you have a lot of beautiful photos in your blog that readers can enjoy without the awards.
Your son sounds really fun. š
He is. You should see how hilarious he looks running away from little girls who wants to play with him. š He’s very shy, maybe that’s why doesn’t want any pictures taken.
I hope you have great day ā¤
He’ll change as he gets older. š
Congratulations on your 2 in 1! I really enjoyed your answers too, great job!
Thank you Steve! Happy you enjoyed it. ā¤ļø
Congratulations Jess and thank you for considering my nomination!
Your son looks absolutely adorable! ā¤ (I’m assuming he’s your son?)
I too use the phrase “seriously” A LOT!!šš
Orion is a beautiful name!š
Of course, I would consider your nomination! (I will from every blogger I like) š
And thank you! He’s the adorable monster that lived inside me for 9 months š. You should how adorable he gets once he’s hungry. He’d go back and forth in the kitchen talking about food nonstop until my ears want to fall off ( No, seriously, I find him adorable even if my ears hate it.)
Orion was a name I know I want for my son a long time before we have him.
Thanks dear!
I too was no different from your son when I was small, but believe me, I’m still the same.š And of course he is absolutely adorable! š
The name was very well thought of. After all, every name that a mother keeps for her child is undoubtedly the best!ā¤š
Normally is. š Thanks for reading Priya. I hope you have a great day ā¤
You’re very welcome. Have a wonderful day!šā¤
Congratulations Jessica!
This was a fun read š
š Glad it is.
Congratulations Shannette š well deserved double awards! Funny post and choice of pictures š Orion is adorable! Donāt ruin the boy š
So far we knew how much you love sleeping hahaha and Hungry for love sounds some novel!!
Procrastinating! Oh well we all have this curse šš hope youāll be less clumsy and more organized
I have stage fear as well š¤ it makes me nervous!
You still have my award to work on hahah
Have a great day š
Thanks Hug! Oh my goodness did I just claimed a new nickname? Haha š I was rushing it last night so that picture of Orion is from last year. It’s really hard holding myself from squeezing him because then I might really ruin him. So I often ask for permission and his answer is always a big fat “NO” with a smile that makes me want to squeeze even more š
Hungry for love is a memoir of my childhood.
And oh my gosh! I skimmed through the nomination and missed my name! š¢ I went back and magically it was there! š
I’ll try to get it done when I can finally think of 7 facts about me. The hardest part. Answering questions is way easier.
Oh yes you did šš Shannette š
haaahha he’s cute certainly, hard not to squeeze him indeed šš
I know you did missed it hahaa because you didn’t mention it even though you scanned the post š
Yalla think about 7 facts about you š§š§
ššš
šš <3
That’s your son’s picture right? He looks absolutely adorable!ā¤ļø
Yep. That’s Orion last summer, he’s a year older now but I was in a rush so I grabbed the first nice photo of him giving his mom a flower while all I care about is getting that shot. He got angry after this and throw the flower away.
Awww that’s the purest thing I’ve ever heard!šš God bless your tiny angel!
Thank you š
You are nominated!!ang galing!! you just break it!!šššš
Thanks Flor! Grabe, a malicious thought just popped in my head when I read “you just break it!” I was like “What did I break! … oh you mean the system” you’re smiling right now, no? Have a great day dear friend š
hahah!! yeah right!!.. š šš
Have a great day!
Congratulations x 2 ! āŗāŗ
Thank you! š
