Liebster Award Fun!!!

Ahhh so excited to be nominated for the Liebster Award. Okay but I must confess something. I have been nominated for it in the past. But that's okay right? I can do it again, right? I just feel so blessed to have people read my blog and nominate me for it.  So basically what is the Liebster Award? It is an award given to small blogs, bloggers that have 300 or less followers, in order to showcase new blogs for the blogsphere to read. Yay!!  The person who nominated you asks you a set of questions, and then you ask you nominees a set of questions they answer. 

So today I have been nominated by Valerie over at Indecisively Restless.  But in the last couple month I have also been nominated by Gina at Gina's Agenda, and Alexa over at Pretty by Alexa. Thank you ladies!! If you haven't checked their blogs, I highly suggest you head over.  I wasn't sure if I could be nominated multiple times but I decided to finally make a post in order to promote some of my new fave blogs.
Questions from Valerie:
//one// What do you like the most about yourself?

Ooohh this is a hard question. I think the most thing I like about myself is that I try to help everyone. I love helping out. It's very rewarding to know that you were there when someone needed help, even if its a small thing.

What is your all time favorite book?

I absolutely love reading, as if you couldn't tell by my book infested posts last week. But whenever they ask me about my favorite book, its too hard to just choose one. But there are a couple of books that have made me view the world a little differently or who have shaped me in some kind of way: The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood, The Great Gatsy by Scott F. Fitzgerald, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Ann Brashares, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer, and Always Running by Luis Rodriguez, among many more.

If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go?

I would go to Italy. I have always wanted to travel to Italy and learn Italian, and eat Italian food, and date Italian men.. hehe.

Fashion Designer. Although I have not sewn much in the last couple months, designing has always been that far-reaching dream that I've had since I was little.

Questions from Brianna!!

If you could meet anyone dead or alive, who would it be?

If I could meet anyone I would choose Audrey Hepburn. I love Breakfast at Tiffany's, Roman Holiday. She was classy. She's an icon. Beautiful. Intelligent. Talented!

What's one thing you can't live without?

Other than my family, my phone and books are tied!!!

What's your favorite holiday and why?

I would choose Christmas since it's full of love, giving, gratefulness and it's my Birthday, but... my ultimate holiday is Thanksgiving. Coming from a big family, I love when we get together. Thanksgiving is one of those days, full of family, love, thankfulness and amazing food

Tell us about your most embarrassing moment.

I've had many, but the one that comes to mind is when me and my friend were at the Bart Station (Subway station) and we were trying to get to San Francisco from Berkeley. There was only one train passing through our station,and we had to get on and transfer at the next station. Me and my friend were confused for a bit, but she said "Let's get on this one" right as the door were opening. People were passing. Everything happened so quickly, the next thing I knew the doors closed in front of me, my friend on the train and I still on the platform. Soo embarrassing. I had to wait 15 minutes for the next one, and we totally missed whatever we were going to do in San Francisco.

If you could change your name what would you change it to?

When I was younger, I hated my name. It was weird, A-dree-ah-na. With two n's, please. Adrianna. I never found a key chain souvenir with my name on it. Now I love it, wouldn't change it. But I think when I was younger I wanted to Alexis, Alexa, Alexandra. lol

If you could have one super power what would it be?

If I could choose one super power it would be the ability to teleport. I have FOMO (fear of missing out so.. this way I can be everywhere in the blink of my eyes) lol

What's something you're excited about in the future?

In the near future, my baby niece, November hurry. In the semi-future seeing all my nieces and nephews grow up. Also wanting to travel all around. In the far away (hopefully not that far away) future finding someone that I would love to spend the rest of my life with, and start a family.

If you could go back in time what would you do differently?

I think I would like to stop and smell the roses. Enjoy life a little bit more and not focus on the way I saw myself or the way I thought other people saw me. Remind myself to have a blast even if you are silly.

What's your current favorite artist/song?

Carrie Underwood, why did I just realize how amazing you are!?

If you had to choose an actress to play you in a movie who would it be?

Jennifer Lawrence. Although I look nothing like her, nor I'm like any of the characters she plays. But I think she's awesome. I also pick Jessica Biel, Lauren London, 

Who is your celebrity crush?

Trey Songz, thank you!!!
