I’ve won the Illuminating Blogger Award!
How deliciously appropriate to be nominated by C.J. at Food Stories for this wonderful food-for-thought award.
Thank you, C.J.! 🙂
If you haven’t checked out her blog, you really should. It’s a scrumdillyicious foodie ride through all things yummy!
For this award, I must share 1 random thing about myself.
Okay, um…
Well, I wish I lived in a jungle.
And I do mean’ jungle‘ in every sense of the word.
A deep, dense, green rainforest bursting at the seams with wildlife. No walls, no floors, no roof. Just a banana leaf lean-to with a mound of soft moss to sleep on…
And, of course, my iPod.
The header & background on my blog are photos I took of my short-lived home on a beachy jungle in Mexico.
I had an empty hut with a sand floor, a hammock, a doorway with no door, and lots of skittling little roommates that came through the wall slats to keep me company.
Like this little guy.

My li’l jungle buddy.
I named him Reynaldo & we became fast friends. He didn’t say much, but he was very entertaining company. And he always brought dozens of friends & family to feast on flying things that buzzed around my makeshift stick-in-the-sand torches each night.
Wonder what Rey-Rey’s doing tonight…?
.
Now, I must nominate at least 5 other bloggers for this illuminating award.
Here goes…
Oh…was that more than 5?
Oh, well. Can I help it if there are so many great bloggers out there?
Congrats to all you Illuminating Bloggers!

Thanks Sylver! I hope I can live up to it!
You already have! 🙂
I hope Rey-Rey is having lots and lots of winged, hairy or other eight-legged strange creatures for his dinner.
I loved the header of your blog the minute I first saw it — I wouldn’t mind staying over there for a couple of months (at least!)
Thank you so much for the award, and I’ll set out to explore the rest of the Luminous blogs you nominated. 🙂 🙂 🙂
ehm… sorry… I meant six-legged strange creatures… I always confuse these…
You’re welcome, Eleni! I always learn something new about your part of the world every time I visit your blog. I just wish I was visiting in person to soak it all up…
Re: my header – oh, yeah, you would sooo love it there. I tried to leave so many times but couldn’t tear myself away from Rey-Rey. 😛
Thanks for the props, homegurl!
De nada, homeboi!
I’m honored–thank you! 🙂
You’re welcome, Kana! 🙂
Congrats! and the WTF award was really funny!
Thanks, Eva! Yeah, I cracked up when I saw that WTF Award – totally brilliant!
Thank you so much!!! I came to catch up on all things Sylver and I find this! You are amazing!!! I would love to vacation to a jungle, but I would have to come back to the internet eventually… maybe…
You’re welcome – you deserve it! And trust me, spend only one night in a jungle & you won’t want to leave! 🙂
I camp for a week and love it, but I’m always ready to get back to life. I am also insanely afraid of spiders (and sting rays)
We should change our names to ‘Night’ & ‘Day’ – I adore spiders! 🙂
Only the little ones!
