ON BEING A FINALIST AT PHILIPPINE BLOG AWARD'S BEST BLOG DESIGN

I am honored. For the first time in my life, I felt proud (and teary-eyed) that I saw my blog name in line with the people I look up to. I am lost for words. I still can't believe it. Haha! I wasn't expecting. In fact, I forgot about it and I only learned about me, being a finalist yesterday by accident.

Chyng Reyes commented on two of my blog posts. Tipong "paano sya nakarating sa blog ko? Si Chyng Reyes yun." And then I checked my stats and saw my referring link: The Philippine Blog Awards. Nagtaka lang ako. I searched for my URL there and I saw Creativitee Lab. I opened my mail to confirm and I saw this message na ikina-shock ko.

The much awaited email from The Philippine Blog Awards

I was dumbfounded. I couldn't believe it! Isa ako sa finalist! Shet! Ang laking bagay nun. Until now, hindi pa din ako makaget-over. Shocking banana! -- Finalist for Best Blog Design

What's sad about this was, I missed the event last December 3. I wasn't able to attend and I never saw my blog flashed before me on a big screen. I missed my chance of meeting fellow bloggers from all over Luzon. But to me, being a finalist is already a big thing and I will forever be grateful about it.

The Creative Dork congratulated us.. :)

The finalists..
