Globe Digital Tribe Award
Nov 08
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...

Favorite TV series would be House...

A puzzle finally solved.
Oct 18
I am to finish transcribing a 7.5-hour course within the week. But being the procrastinator that I am, I decided to “rest” after transcribing disc 1 of the 10-disc set.

My vote goes to Batang Yagit
Sep 20
My vote definitely goes to the adorable and techie — Batang Yagit. I first heard of him on Twitter and from then on, I’ve been checking on his blog every now and then. Winston Almendras, the humble kid behind this blog, deserves to win the Philippine Blog Awards Bloggers’ Choice Award because his blog is very interesting and is an easy read. Oh yeah, he’s from Davao, so...
