AMW Reports: The Philippine Blog Awards 2010

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!
with Ada and Hannah


AMW with DJ Vince from When in Manila,
Hannah and found a new friend Kristel


AMW with the Food Bloggers
L-R John, Frances, Richard, Irene and Carlos


And let's not forget, my beauty blogging friend Shen 
was also there with me!
(*waves hi* to the rest of Team E)


Congratulations to all the winners on this year's Blog Awards!


And congratulations to Gabe Mercado for hosting this event, made my tummy ache from laughing the whole night!  Can I just say, I want to run to the stage and grab his bedroom slippers?

  6. YOU ARE A WINNER! *hugs*

    I 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. :)
