AKA the

Philippine Blog Awards 2008

Snaps from PBA07

Once Upon a time in a land archipelago of 7107 islands, give or take depending on the tide. A community of bloggers decided to recognize their peers or fellow-bloggers irregardless of age, size, gender, sexual preference, weight and student number who excelled in their chosen blogging niche. Thus the Philippine Blog Awards were born.

It was fun. It was controversial. It was not perfect. Many things in life are seldom without flaws. It was an attempt to recognize talent, excellence, originality and viral looniness.

It was one event out of many. And like all beasts of this nature it is a product of around 365 days of writing ,posting, link baiting, commenting, and grand standing. It was about blogging. Similar to like a wrinkle is a product of x amount of years that one laugh ad cried. Not so apropos but you get the point.

And it is back or at least coming back. Here it is probably more fun, stressful, controversial and crazy as its predecessor.

We are not allowed to say anything, although someone who shall remain nameless but we all know as Jayvee already has leaked out certain details ion his post (^_^)Y, but to say that:
