The Philippine Blog Awards, has been around for the fourth year! As I walked in the Carlos P. Romulo auditorium, I can't help but look around and just feel blessed and happy that the Philippine Blogging industry has gone a long way! I can still remember the first post I've done and how tiny the photo I chose because I don't want people to recognize me! *duh* Why put a photo if you don't want people to recognize you? Call me weird, but I was! Still am! *lol*
Look what I've become now! LOL Years of practice, face turned thicker a couple of centimeters per year!
Back to the Philippine Blog Awards..I am glad to be invited to this event not only as a blogger but ...yours truly is a finalist for the Best Beauty and Fashion Blog division! I did not bagged the award but let me tell you why I felt like a winner!

AskMeWhats came to be a blog that gives me the chance to speak out what I want to share to the world! I may want to start this originally as an advise column but I didn't mind giving advises on Beauty and Fashion instead!
I can still remember that fateful day when I got my first reader comment, "Liz" from Dublin, you were my first commenter and I won't forget that! It was the best feeling in the world! Then the reader comments started to pour in, and I found myself enjoying post after post sharing what I learn! You guys where there for me all throughout, and I'm glad to say, I've found wonderful friends in blogging!
Here are some highlights on who I met during The Philippine Blog Awards 2010...
Vaseline Girls Unite!
AMW with DJ Vince from When in Manila,
Hannah and found a new friend Kristel
AMW with the Food Bloggers
And let's not forget, my beauty blogging friend Shen
was also there with me!

ReplyDeleteI told my sister, Reluctant Stylista, when I saw the list of finalists, that she's going to have a tough battle: "Nikki and Sosyalera.net have very rich content. You're going to need a lot of prayers." LOL!
Well, looks like the prayers worked. Still, the mere fact that you were picked among hundreds of other bloggers already identifies you as a winner. :)
