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:

My Vote Goes to Batang Yagit

It has been a while since I last updated this blog. Today, I'll be posting about Batang Yagit. Who's Batang Yagit? Batang Yagit is a yagit na bata, batang kawawa, batang madumi, batang mahirap, batang hanggang pangarap lang, batang naka dilaw na damit at red shorts, batang walang magawa sa buhay, etc.. Those were the descriptions that appeared in my mind when I heard of Batang Yagit.

So much for this nonsense introduction. Let's get to the point why I am blogging about Batang Yagit. My friend over at Jehzlau Concepts asked me to vote for Batang Yagit. That's the main reason why I'm voting for him. The second reason is that, I think he deserves to win the Blogger's Choice Award of the 2008 Philippine Blog Awards. If the main factors to consider were blog contents, quality of the articles written on the blog, user interest and blog followers, batangyagit.com is the most deserving among all of the nominees of this year's bloggers' choice award.

Anyone has an edge, but only one is the best amongst all of 'em! Congratulations in advance Batang Yagit! Good thing you have Jehz at your side. :) Hehe.
