lol... it's not stupid. we all do that. in the course of a photo retouch or manip i typically use so many combos of filters, styles, layer effects and whatnot along with manual retouching that I could never recreate something. I could do something so similar that only I would know the difference, but I go for effect rather than keep certain techniques... sometimes different techniques can reproduce same effect.
On your picture, it could have been a number of filter combinations, or simply rasterizing and smudging. Might I recommend a simple low-opacity white brush?
[edit:] ctrl-click the text layer. select->smooth (or expand. could be either one). fill with white on a new layer, or rasterize, and aply brush efects above.
