So, I’m a Blogirl
01 Apr 07 | News, Events & Places | 42 Comments »

And I wasn’t expecting it. Not at all. The only thing that matters to me that night are the raffle tickets. I was bothered.

[Double check] I’m such an OC.
[Triple check] I think I missed /duplicated a number. LOL.

I was incharge of the secretariat stuff and the organizers will kill me if two people with the same number will claim the iPod. Indeed, the registration thing was a hard task. I thank Apple so much for helping me. Same with the rest of the organizers and the volunteers.

Special mention to: Mae, Joni, Tina, Shari (Best Personal Blog), Darwin, LA, Jun, Chris (he took this pic below), Karla, and Juned]. Jomar did the hard production work, preparing the to do list, etc. Boyscout , galeng!

I was so excited to be in the registration table coz I know it will be my chance to meet the finest bloggers.

Unfortunately, I was sooo preoccupied and wasn’t feeling well due to dysmenorrhea thats why I failed to memorize faces.
Just threw one or two quick glances around while asking their names, url and giving their tickets.

But one thing’s for sure — all of them approached me haha (of course, to register & get their raffle tickets) I won’t mention names, ang dami nila!

Hookay, so I won the Blogirl Award. If you are wondering what is it all about. Well, the trophy says: to honor an extra ordinary girl blogging.

Some people has lots of whats-and-whys about the set of Globe special awards. Like what criterias, judges, candidates, and whatnot. But hey, please don’t hate me(?). Because I’ve got nothing to do with it! Let’s suggest to have a Blogboy award next year for justice’s sake. Haha.

I said I wasn’t expecting but of course it’s a wish come true for me. Being a a founder of NewMaria.com (community for filipina designers & bloggers), the award title speaks so much of me. That’s why I’m grateful. Thanks to Globe Broadband for the recognition.

This morning at work, I thought I was having silly hangover coz I can see familiar blogger faces walking around the office. Blinked twice. Thrice.

No…it’s not a dream. Officemate ko na pala si Retzwerx (the Best Entertainment Blog) at si ProjectManila (the finalist for Best Photo Blog) !!! *star studded* Small world huh. To Retz and Rick, welcome to TheDesignPeople!

Anyway, here’s the complete list of 2007 Philippine Blog Awards winners of Paradise Philippines.
Related news at Inquirer and GMA News.
Lots and lots of pictures are here: Juned, Chris, and Karla.
