* Bloggers Choice Awards
* Most Creative Blogger
* Dedicated Blogger Award
* Best Everyday Read
* Most Likeable Blogger
<\/strong>
The battle line has been drawn. Please drive, run, fly…. or just click over HERE<\/span><\/a><\/strong> to vote for Vera Ezimora. She must win the categories she has been nominated in. We must eliminate all other nominees. We must disappear them from the face of Blogville. Yeah, I said it. Any rival of Vera Ezimora is an enemy of Blogville – a hostile one for that matter – and should therefore be treated as such. Their blogs must be eliminated ASAP.<\/p>\n

– Verastic, reporting LIVE from Blogville, World Wide Web.
<\/em><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

I was going to blog about something else today. I was going to give more details about the vacation. But this breaking and rather important news came up, and I could not resist it. I already told you why I qualified for each of these categories<\/span><\/a><\/strong>; I am tempted to tell you why my rivals don’t qualify, but the list is long, and the time is rather short. Maybe some other time, no? \ud83d\ude42 Lemme tell you instead what I will do for Blogville once I win all categories. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
* If I win the Bloggers Choice Award:<\/strong> This will mean that you wonderful readers are sending me a message. Yes, you are saying to me, “Vera, you’re simply the bomb diggity!”<\/strong> I, in turn, will bomb-diggitify all of you by choosing you all to come and wine and dine with me. Together, we will eat some nice indomie noodles (don’t worry; I know some1 who makes the really good one). Then we’ll go to Cold Stone to eat\/drink\/lick\/suck\/chew\/consume\/digest some ice cream. Don’t worry; I’ll pay for it all. All you have to do is go into Cold Stone, order the ice cream of your choice in the amount you desire and tell them to put it on Vera Ezimora’s tab. It’s okay; they’ll understand. *wink* <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
* If I win the Most Creative Blogger Award:<\/strong> It means that at last, my creative juices have not only been recognized but also appreciated and rewarded. In light of this, I will show you another creative side of me. Yes, I will sing a song which will be posted right here on Verastic Dot Com. And oh, yes, we will call it my debut [Platinum] single. I will sing my heart out to thank all you tres wonderful peeps of Blogville. Some might say I should stay in school, stick to writing, and never, ever attempt to sing – even privately – but they are tone-deaf. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
* If I win the Dedicated Blogger Award:<\/strong> I will still update every three days like I have been doing, but now, I will do it at a particular time. Yes, Verastic Dot Com will now be updated at 12 midnight…every three days. This way, everyone will have a fair chance at being first. I will be dedicated. I will be committed. I will be faithful. You do know that Vera means ‘Faithful’ don’t ya? I cannot help but be faithful. Some may argue that I have *clears throat* done a few thangs, but let’s not go down memory lane. Blogville, vote 4 me, and I will be dedicated to you. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
* If I win the Best Everyday Read Award:<\/strong> I promise to always give you something good to read. Boredom shall never know my site. Everything you read here will be fun. I will become the epitome of fun-ness<\/em>. Verastic Dot Com promises to never elicit yawns from its readers. Verastic Dot Com will never be the reason for anyone’s drowsiness, sleepiness, or suicidal thoughts. Tufia kwa. You will read and laugh. Then a few hours later, you’ll think about it and laugh some more, all your problems vanishing into thin air<\/del> oblivion. In the middle of your natural high-ness<\/em>, you will buy me a few bottles of perfumes (like Bvlgari’s Pour Femme & Ralph Lauren’s Romance) & send them to my P. O. BOX. I will be grateful. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
* If I win the Most Likeable Blogger Award:<\/strong> I will continue to be likeable. I will give everyone the privilege of liking me – men, women, children, animals, places, and things. So yes, Afrobabe, you can now confess that secret crush you have been having on me. I promise I won’t judge you. Funmie will no longer have to hide under the canopy of being my friend; she’ll be able to tell the world that she is in fact in love with me. Animals will finally be able to come out of the closet & profess their love 4 me. Children will xplain why keep wanting to follow me home. People’s things will explain how they mysteriously end up in my house; some might say I stole<\/del> fapped them, but I didn’t fap anything that didn’t wanna be fapped. Places (like that place where the sun always shines) will xplain why I wanna go back! <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
***** If I win all five nominations:<\/strong> I don’t know what I will do. Maybe you should tell me. But you should ask not what Vera can do for you. Ask what you can do for Vera. And what you can do for her is to VOTE<\/span> FOR <\/span>HER<\/span> RIGHT<\/span> NOW.<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
