Ooh ooh ooh! I feel quite happy today – I never expected to reach 100 posts, let alone 100 posts within my first year of blogging! 
I don’t know why, but I am almost like a little kid posting this 
Even before I started blogging, I read and followed a lot of blogs. However, since 29 May 2008, I have found many more bloggers who write incredible stuff, and have to a certain degree acted as inspiration to me during those times when I have struggled to write anything, or when I have been trying to pull through in difficult times in life. So to celebrate this 100th post, I have picked 10 of my favourite blogs out of the 70 or so blogs which I try and follow.
These are the Cookie Monster top 10 blogs of the year (in no particular order)…. (as adjudicated by the cast of Sesame Street).
Chances are I’m going to hell for this
The Inner Workings of a Media Junkie
From the “Stupidest” corner of my mind
Commiserations to who were not in the list this time round. Do let me know if you should have been in my top ten; maybe I am not currently following your blog, and this the opportunity to increase your readership too!
The “winning” blogs were chosen because not only are they entertaining, but also because I find at home in these blogs – as if these folks were my closest friends. For the winners, the award for each of you is one of these…. Enjoy the cookie, have a great 2009, and keep blogging!!

@mars
yours is…
I have a story for each of the people in my list of 10
I started following your blog because of the amount of traffic I get from you. I didn’t read a lot of the past posts (bad habit), so for whatever reason I thought you were a guy…. Until you posted about pms one day – and I had a Charlie Harper moment (he of 2 & 1/2 men, & he goes oooh…. when he gets surprised)
My bad! @:D

I have a story for every1 of my 10 ‘favs’. Yours is -
As I have commented so many times – reading your blog makes me feel as if I am standing in front of a mirror and seeing a female version of me! Reading the posts, it makes me realise – I am damn cool! (I even moan about the weather
Have a great xmas with your family! (I assume you will be with the meows
)
Aww thanks for the mention, although if you did it solely because I’d bitch and moan if my blog wasn’t there then you didn’t have to
I like cookie thanks!
And thanks for the mention again big bro. Means the world..

@mali
Well, you are my cousin, and one of my best buds hence you made the list
But in all honesty, a little bit of the motivation to actually start a blog and write could have come from reading your stuff. Also I love it when you get critical, you write well when you get bitchy
Woo hoo! (think Homer Simpson)

you thought i was a guy?! *jaw drops in shock* with all the bitching and moaning i did about guys, you’d have probably thought i was a puff :p
Salaam,
Oh yummy, thanks for the cookie (chocolate – my favourite
). Thanks for the mention; I feel very honoured. 
Awwww thanks!!! I feel honored!!
