Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Some blogosphere news… no gossip here. 🙂

The 2008 Philippine Blog Awards is still very much alive. The committee is moving the event to July 2008 because of two things: the first is because we’re still looking for an available venue that can accommodate a lot of people at a good price and second, because we’re waiting for the incorporation papers. The incorporation is crucial because receipts are needed for our sponsors. Also, a new set of officers will take place because of the incorporation. Hopefully, all the legal papers will be ready by end of April. *cross fingers*

dina and noemi Once again, it’s the first Monday of March Over at PinoyMomsNetwork, it is the day to publish FamPics. For March, the theme is LEARNING.

Dine is almost unrecognizable without her sleeveless tops but you know, we were invited to speak in front of local women leaders from different local government units nationwide such as mayors, vice-mayors, vice-governors, Board members etc. Business suit seemed like a suitable attire for this event and not our casual “blogger” wear during blogger or new media events. Dine and I laughed because Wikipilipinas.org staff barely recognized her.

““Sabi niya sa kin masyado ko na raw pinasisikip ang mundo ko,” says Lozada. ““I know I am taking a lot of risks but I took it.” At this point Lozada’s voice breaks anew. ““They reminded me that pinasisikip ko ang mundo ko.” Madrigal asks: ““So parang sa maliit na kabaong ka na lang mapupunta?” to which Lozada replies: ““Baka mas maliit pa po kung cri-nemate ako.”
