Mahalo to the beautiful and inspiring Hiba, (Cloud of Lace) who took a minute to designate me my very first Wordpress nomination, or any nomination in this blogesphere EVER, The Versatile Blogger Award.



Cloudoflace is about everything and anything marvelous- from art, to fashion, to recipes...."little treasures" as she calls them.  Reading her blog is just refreshing.  So of course, I was delighted to find out she feels the same about mines.  Again, as we say here in Hawaii, Mahalo Nui Loa, Hiba!

Here are 15 wonderful bloggers/blogs that I have truly enjoyed reading, and would like to share them with you by  nominating them for the Most Versatile Blogger Award.

And finally, here are 7 Things About Me that I would like to share...

1.  I love love love love Starbucks, especially mocha frap and hot mocha with 3x shot on busy days.  I'm a proud Starbuholic, and a chocoholic.

2. I'm very flexible. I owe it all to yoga pilates that I'm so busy to do nowadays.

3. My hair is jet black, thanks to my beautiful Filipina mother who had always told me to never color my hair.

4.  I prefer Asian cuisine to just about any other type of food- Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Thai...

5.  I have five siblings who I love so much - Natalie, Ersa, Neil, Sally, & Dessa.

6.  I heart Korean dramas, especially romantic comedy, and the lessons behind them.  I truly believe in undying love and devotion, that through any trials and tribulations, love conquers all.

7.  In April 2010, I launched Fashion With a Mission, a non-profit organization focusing on providing clothes to orphaned children throughout the globe. The organization is still on its beginning stages, however, I hope to fully establish Fashion with a Mission and encourage fashionistas that “we can make a difference, one trend, one style at a time”.

Keep calm and have an Oreo Cupcake

To help endure this dreary weather, I decided to make cupcakes in celebration of Oreo's 100th Birthday.  With the help of two of the coolest teens you'll ever meet, we were able to create a batch of delicious Oreo Cupcakes.



Below is a basic recipe for Oreo Cupcakes, Miss Honey's version.  I deviated from the original Death by Oreo Cupcake Recipe, just a little bit.  The cupcake itself, as you will see,  is overloaded with oreo cookies.  Instead of making an oreo-filled frosting I decided to go with  plain vanilla frosting as it evens out the taste so you can enjoy the oreos and the cupcake bite by bite!  I hope you love them as much as we did.

Here ya go::
