3am and I've been at the computer for the last couple of hours. It's my truly rare me-time and having battled high fevers, endless bickers and countless tantrums over the last solo parenting week, it's a form of destress for me to be able to just sit here.
That said, have I been blogging? Well, not really. I spent all the time following up on giveaways, generating winners, chasing for details, getting sponsors to correspond and annoucing the results on all the respective social media platforms. It takes time, lots of time. But I've said before, I find it a privilege to be able to do this and spread some love and joy to fellow parents out there. That is my main motivation to continue and will always be.
Just yesterday, I bumped into a reader who told me she was the winner of my 4D3N Club Med Cherating giveaway and told her two kids right beside her "There, we went to Cherating, stayed in Club Med and saw fireflies cos' of this auntie, you remember?". It felt so good, so so good when I know the little bit I have done for some parent or some kid out there. So thank you for saying Hi and for letting me know, it cheered my day up more than you know after having to handle two sick kids.
But truth be told, what I don't appreciate so much are people who hop by purely for the sake of giveaways, who don't bother to read the blog post on the requirements nor the review that I've painstakingly written, or those who don't usually drop me messages but do so just to chase for the results (I usually promptly announce them in a day or two). I feel bad not to reply, so I still have to spend extra time just to answer your query when the results are already posted.
Well, I hope that doesn't stop me from doing more reviews/giveaways because that will not be fair to those sincere readers who are always around and all they want is just to win a little something for their loved ones. Till more updates next time because guess what, the toddler just woke up and needs Mama (again!)
