The Philippine Blog Awards 2008 gave recognition to the best and the brightest blogs in the Philippine Blogosphere and I am happy to say that I took part in it. When I was asked to host, I was initially hesitant since I knew my hosting skills were already kinda rusty. I eventually gave in and agreed to be one of the hosts for this year’s awards.
Not many people know about this, but I was also supposed to host last year’s awards night. But no thanks to some controversy and miscommunication, I did not get that chance. (I was also out of town then, enjoying the beauty of Dumaguete and Antulang – which I will also be visiting come November, thanks to Cebu Pacific’s Zero fare promo).
So on September 21, 2008, I had to brush up on my now long-forgotten hosting skills and headed to One Esplanade. Together with Kring of FunnySexy, Tiffany of the Manila Foodistas, and Marcelle (aka Kuya Germs) of Mistervader, I gladly hosted the Philippine Blog Awards 2008.
When the lights hit my eye, everything became a blur and I don’t have any memory of the event anymore! Talk about ebing lightstruck! Here’s a photoset (photos courtesy of Carlo and Ed).

All I remember now was that I had fun and some of the blogs I was rooting for won in their respective categories! Congratulations to Gibbs, Coy, Benj, Rick, and all the other winners (List of Philippine Blog Awards Winners after the jump)!
I’m also happy that even if this blog didn’t win in the Best Personal Blog category, I was among great bloggers like Fritz, Helga, Kring, Benj (who won that category), Bikoy, Mike Villar, and Misterhubs, among others.Just getting nominated with this bunch is an honor in itself! Imagine, from the more than 90 blogs that qualified, we were among the finalists! Good job naman diyan!
I had a small taste of victory too, » Read more: Bakla’s Affair with the Philippine Blog Awards 2008
