Winning $5 in Blog Christmas Giveaway

You may be wondering what happened to me these past days. Well, I have been experiencing excruciating back pains–not the type that occurs in the spine but rather a topical pain that exists in the muscles. Normally, it feels like a knotted muscle, but every few hours, I get “attacks” and pain is overrules the surrounding areas, up to the front side.

Been trying to rest from time to time, but yesterday, I was maid of honor in a wedding (at almost 6 months pregnant) and while I was trying to smile, I kept moving trying to find a suitable position for my aching back. Anyway, that was how I was been the past several days. So forgive me for not visiting you. After a visit to the chiropractor later, I hope to be feeling better.

Anyway, I just want to thank Ria of It’s My Party. She sponsored a blog giveaway a couple of weeks back. She invited me but I forgot and then she reminded me a few days before the contest ended. I joined. It was very simple, I just had to guess the number of guinea pigs that were in the cage. There were of us who got the answer right. But guess what, through Random.Org, I was randomly chosen as the winner. :-) And the prize of $5 came at a time when I needed to go to a chiropractor whose single service costs around $6…Thank you Ria! :-) And God really knows our needs. :-) Below are Ria’s pets. :-)
