I Was There! (The Philippine Blog Awards Night)

Rose and I went to the Awards Night of the 2007 Philippine Blog Awards (PBA) at the RCBC Plaza, Makati City. We arrived at the venue at around 1730H, and were greeted by Gail Dela Cruz-Villanueva, one of the PBA organizers. The food was great, my wife loved it. I just had iced tea — two glasses of it.

Minutes after 6pm (moments before 7pm, hehehe), we were ushered to our seats. The badges given to me and Rose indicated us as ‘Guests’, so we’re led to the balcony of the RCBC Podium 4. Later, it was announced that all ‘Finalists’ should be seated at the Orchestra.

Though I didn’t win in the Bloggers’ Choice Awards category, the feeling of being there, the First Philippine Blog Awards is just great! Oh, did I mentioned that all of the attendees got some freebies? I also won in the raffle: 2pcs of rechargeable Sanyo Batteries. Great for my tv’s remote control.

After the Awards Night, the scheduled meeting of the Adobe User’s Group Philippines pushed through at the Starbuck’s inside the mess hall of the RCBC Plaza. It was attended by 12 members, including me. We raffled one (01) Adobe Creative Suite (CS) 3 (licensed). Nope, it was not me who won the software, but managed to bring home one (01) Adobe gel pen and one (01) tumbler from the raffle. I also met two MMA grads in the meeting.

I’m still searching for the pics taken last night. Onwards to Philippine Blog Awards 2008! Mabuhay ang Blogistang Pinoy!

For professional photography you need a camera. There is a huge variety of equipment being used in film making, many film makers use spotlights for better picture quality. The easels are providing best collection for media.

Philippine Blog Awards: Tonight Na!

It is now T minus 4 hours and 50 minutes, and counting before the Awards Night of the 2007 Philippine Blog Awards at the RCBC Plaza. Rose just got her invitation this morning, had it printed, and we shall be off to the venue by 5pm.

Hope that TurfSite Manila will bag the Bloggers’ Choice Award. Checked on the Google Analytics for bobreyes.com, and saw around 175 hits yesterday (with page views coming as far as Los Angeles to Norway!), and only if those hits can be converted to votes (if the viewer just did), there’s a big chance for me to get the award.

Swerte ba talaga ang buntis?

When I just thought I am done and out of the Philippine Blog Awards 2007, I checked their site and I was surprised to see that I am still included in the Bloggers’ Choice Award 2007. Click on the badge at the right or head on directly to http://www.philippineblogawards.com.ph/voting2007 and vote for TurfSite Manila. Please.

There is only one requirement for your vote to be counted: YOU must be a blogger. If you have your own blog site or simply uses Multiply, Friendster, or BlogSpot/Blogger, that will do.

Maraming salamat!
