Philippine Blog Awards Tomorrow

I’ll be at the Philippine Blog Awards Night tomorrow to support and accompany Ia, whose Stellify.net is a finalist in the technology category. It came as quite a surprise for both of us, as she’d be the first one to tell you that Stellify wasn’t meant to be a tech blog. You can say that we’re not expecting Stellify to win the best tech blog award, especially since it’s going up against established tech bloggers.

Both of us have a “you win, I also win” mentality, and I’m happy that her efforts with Stellify (which is less than seven months old) have already been recognized. This kind of nullifies my disappointment at not winning a recently-concluded prestigious Tagalog poetry contest (too bad I couldn’t follow up my being published on the newspaper — that would’ve been a great birthday treat this coming May!).

Aside from Ia, a number of my blogosphere friends got the nods of the judges, namely Eric (aka Senor Enrique), Jorge Cosgayon, Gibbs Cadiz, and Dean Jorge Bocobo. I’m hoping these guys will win their respective categories, especially sir Eric — I was the one who nominated his photo blog, hehe.

Wish Ia and my friends the best of luck!

Jorge, you’re very much welcome! Why are you not coming? Sayang! You’ve got three finalist entries!

Gibbs, thanks! Excuse yourself from work even for a night! Hehe. Though if you can’t really make it, it would be my honor to accept on your behalf I believe you still have to email the organizers and inform them that you’re sending a representative (along with the rep’s name) to claim your award if you win.

Good luck to both of you!

Haha! Yeah, I’m having trouble deciphering the reason for the dress code, too. If it’s because of venue restrictions (imposed by the venue’s owners), then I can understand. Otherwise…da hell? Now I’m having fits as to what to wear. I think my black jeans won’t cut it.

About the theme…apologies, man Di ko rin alam e. Issue a call on your blogs asking him/her to ‘fess up, hehe. Whoever he/she is, he/she sure has a great sense of taste!
