Globe Digital Tribe Award

My oh-so-awesome Globe Digital Tribe Award trophy

An unexpected thing happened last month: this blog won a Globe Digital Tribe Award.

I was in Cebu to attend a family gathering so I missed Mindanao Bloggers Summit 3 and Philippine Blog Awards-Mindanao. A few days before MBS3 though, I got an email informing me that my blog was a candidate for the Chikka Readers’ Choice award. I was able to sway 4 of my cousins and my mom to vote for me. Do the math: 5 x 3 votes per text to 2929 equals 15 votes. Definitely not enough for me to win, but heck, 15 votes is definitely better than zilch. Yay!

On the night of MBS3, I remember getting a call from Brendel informing me that my personal blog won a Globe Digital Tribe Award. Knowing my friends, there’s a pretty good chance that it was just a prank, so I shrugged the idea off. A few minutes after the call, I received a couple of SMS congratulating me for bagging the award. That’s when I knew it was for real.

Only one thing I can say, it’s very flattering to be sharing the award with these blogging royalties from Mindanao: Ria Jose of Life With Ria, Lyle Santos of Thinking Out Loud, Andrew Dela Serna of Alleba Blog, Migs Hipolito of Migs Mobile, Avel Manansala of GenSantos.com , Chiq Montes, Pete Lavina, Bob Martin and Blogie Robillo.

To Globe Telecom, Philippine Blog Awards and my subscribers, thank you heaps! This award means so much to me as it’s one of the few good things that happened to me in oh-nine.

P.S.
And oh, this award gave me another reason to stick to my Globe mobile network and Globe Tattoo plug-in internet. Woot!
