The sister site of rags to riches in the cyberworld won! OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!! WE WON!!!!

So what did we win? Oh nothing much. Just the Philippine Blog Awards: Level UP! Gaming Blog of The Year !!!!!!! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!! (**dances **shouts **sings)

Anyway this is what happened. Some weeks back, Level up announced that they are going to sponsor an award at the Philippine Blog Awards 2008 for the best gaming blog. I nominated my friend emmsy’s blog and I then I forgot all about the blog awards.

Last Sunday, Mel from level up texted me around 6 pm asking if i’m going to the awards night at 1escaplade. I said no, why should i go? I’m in the office. He said my other site, Just Perfect, was one of the finalists of the best gaming blog of the year. I was like “WHAT? Weh! Really” I didn’t expect it. We don’t have any inkling that we were nominated much less be one of the finalists. After saying we can’t go and we’re just going to get the news from him, my cellphone battery went dead. So from 7 pm since he texted me until our end of shift, rafi and I can’t concentrate at work and we kept checking google for the winners.

As soon as I got home, i checked the website but there’s still no update. Yesterday morning I messaged Mel in Yahoo Messenger asking who won. He said OUR SITE!!!!!!!!! Woophee!!! Bring out the dancing elephants! Open the champagnes! Hahaha

Mama dha said that as soon as Rafi woke up, he also opened the Philippine blog awards site and he shouted. Mama dha said all of them at their house were celebrating. Hahaha. I called my mother up and told her the news. She was happy for me and said it looks like gaming is really my passion even though she and papa already cautioned and stopped and lectured and were (still are) against gaming. Hahaha. Imagine that? She accepting the fact that i love gaming.

Our prizes? P3,000.00 and P2,000 worth of load + trophy. I’m going to drop by LU’s office this friday and get the prizes. I can’t wait!

Next year I’m planning to join another category. Hopefully this rags to riches online site can be included. I can dream, can’t I?
