Gee whiz I am not only tickled pink, I must admit—I am flattered! Liz has called me a certified S.O.B. No! no! it’s not what you think. S.O.B. means Successful and Outstanding Blogger, an award spearheaded by Liz Strauss of Successful Blog. Liz says S.O.B.s take the conversation to the readers, contribute great ideas, challenge, make other people better, and make businesses stronger.
After 5 months of blogging, I bring home to The D Spot an S.O.B. badge—it’s that suave sleek pink badge in my side bar. I am now among the 500 or so S.O.B Hall of Famers in the world wide web.
And to think that in the past, I was just a quiet fan of Liz, following her posts in The Blog Herald. My feeling is that Liz and I are now buddies. See, that’s how powerful comments, even links, in blogs can be—one comment, or one link, opens a wide window of opportunities. One can make friends, one can interact, one can start talking business. After one comment, or after one link, the conversation begins. I remember having mentioned and linked Liz in my post in Quasi Fictional. I didn’t realize that since then, she has been reading my blogs. Thanks, Liz, for believing in me.
And dear Readers and Friends, the good news is that you, too, can be an S.O.B. Find out more here.

Hi there, Sexy Mom!
I’m tickled pink that you’re delighted about it. Thanks for the lovely words about the SOBs. Gosh, you’ve got my number . . . relationships are what stands behind the links that make the web work so well. I’m liking the one that I found when I followed your comment home.
sexy mom: gee, Liz! thanks, you’re a doll!

It is an award well-deserved, Tita Dine. Congratulations! You’re right, conversations can be a very powerful foundation of relationships in the online world.
PS: I also follow Liz Strauss’ writings.

Now that’s an award past due. I wonder: Will I able to push Ceskypooh’s World far enough to reach the stature of The D Spot? There’s a goal worth pursuing.
sexy mom: of course, you will, Joel! you’re just being humble.

S.O.B. – haha, you got me there!
Congrats sexy mom. And to think you got this far in merely 5 months of blogging. More power!
sexy mom: thanks, Kathy.

Congrats to you!
Are you sure this site is only 5 month’s old?
It certainly doesn’t feel like that new. This site is more seasoned than most I’ve seen that are far “older”. Probably due to the amount & quality of content you have here. Parang bahay, it feels very “lived in”, not just a model home.
sexy mom: dear Auee, now i am flattered again! but then—writing good content is my only way of sharing of sharing a part of myself with my readers.

Well deserved, bravo! Another medal on the blogging dynasty empress lapel. Pero hindi kaya nila pwedeng paliitan yung acronym. Medyo uncomfy ako sa SOB ah. Baka pwede SBA na lang.
sexy mom: thanks, Annamanila, those are big words you have just said: blogging dynasty empress (LOL!)

hi Dine, Congratulations! You always amaze me, sexy mom! You have a way with words. Here’s to more awards!
rhodora // Apr 26, 2007 at 8:14 pm
Congrats, Dine! Really, I am amazed by how you can weave so nice entries that not only inspire but inform as well!
You are an inspiration! And oh, i noticed too – you have new look in your blog! I love it! It looks like a woman who arranged, rearranged and mix matched her accessories to look eve
sexy mom: my dear, naunahan kita—coz you dilly dally, dimaks (so sweet of him to offer) asked me many questions about header preference, i had to apologize because in that sense, i am a no brainer. i just gave him my favorite colors, and asked could he please do it, the way he reads me. (i read in one of your comments that you still have not made up your mind). trust dimaks, he reads he knows us not only by blog names, he knows us by preference, too). i was so amazed!
voila: he came out with a header just fit for sexy mom!
then my son JAngelo immediately uploaded it, then changed my wordpress theme to the latest one—in 3 columns.
and dimaks and JAngelo are both men (not the woman you thought arranged, rearranged, mixed and matched)
