I Got a Nokia N95 8GB!
Ok. I have come down from heaven. I can now tell you without a scream or a dance, that I won a Nokia N95 8GB in last night’s Philippine Blog Awards. I wasn’t a finalist in any category, I got this through a raffle draw, but I sure have the same feeling of sweet victory as those who brought home trophies.

Never in my life have I won such an amazing prize in a raffle, so I hope those who were in the event will forgive me for having lost poise. The walk from my chair to the stage and back was a complete blur. I just knew that I was screaming because my throat hurt on the way home.

Thanks to IMom for this photo.
Do you know this is the third time I’ve won something this year thanks to my blog life?
First, I won in Noemi’s LoveStruck Writing Contest.
And then, Noemi awarded me with 5 tickets to Imax’s Dinosaurs 3D.
And the most amazing of them all, is this spanking new phone. Noemi picked my 2131 stub among the hundreds in that glass bowl. She blew kisses for luck to the audience before she got onstage but it was I who got the fairy dust, yay!
There must be something about Noemi. She somehow made my lucky stars shine this year.
Thank you Noemi and the organizers of the PBA 2008, Nokia, Smart and my lovely friends in The Filipino Mom Blog. Congratulations to the finalists and the winners. Cheers!
