Phaelun goes to the Philippine Blog Awards 2008

Ive been away from the blog scene for quite a while now... let see... its been months (almost going to year) since i last attended a blog event. And dont even get started on "writing". I've been so sluggish and weary lately that each time i try to write, i end up doing something else. Anyway, my good friend Jehzlau (congrats and congrats to Winston :), burger!!!) invited me to join the Phlippine Blog Awards held at 1 Esplanade last september 21, 2008. i almost didn't make it but alas i came.

I have t o say, i was intimidated at first because i think i was underdress... i arrived dressed casually in jeans and blouse and i saw all these beautiful and sexy women in heels and skirts. I didn't know it was a formal gathering and so i hesitated a bit but then i thought "whatever, iam here already and might as well go in. this could even be a good blog topic :P". Upon entering the room, i was once again enthralled. The place was nice, the setup was superb and, the food was delicious (Thanks Josiah's catering). After a few moments, a throng of people clumped together with photographers zoning each other just to get a click. i wonder what the fuss was about. Looking behind me, i saw senator Mar Roxas (or shall i say future pre.....). He was the guest speaker.

Soon, the event started to unfold. Prizes were given away, Awards were handed to the deserving few (But why am i not included? hehehe, kidding). The night ended with a booze party and raffle draw.

I had a wonderful experience. i got to meet new blog friends hannah and winston. i also got to see old blog friends allen, jehzeel, karlo. but ultimately, the night again planted a seed of aspiration (or hope) to get this blog "recognized" one day. but for now.... so be it.

here are some of the photos:
