I am so glad to be one of the eight finalists of 2009 Philippine Blog Awards under the Family & Living Category. Congratulations to my co-bloggers who also made it to the list but I give my hats off too, to my team mates on this blog, none other than my wife, Tina and our son, Gabby! They really inspire me more than anyone else 
I’d also like to thank my readers, whom I deeply considered as my BLOG BUDDIES; those who frequent this site; those who appreciate my family’s activities – you just don’t know how HAPPY I am whenever you leave comments on my posts. MARAMING SALAMAT PO! MABUHAY PO KAYO!
Although most of my posts revolve on food and dining which we, as a family enjoy best, I put up this blog with the sole reason : to document our family’s adventures not only on various tables, but wherever our feet lead us to. I certainly hope that when my preschooler son learns to read fluently, he will find time to reminisce the days we spent with each other by browsing again the posts in this blog.
Some collect photographs, I and my family collect MEMORIES And most of them are kept intact here.
Other than my blog nomination under Family and Living category, I have also submitted 4 blog post-entries for the TOP 10 BEST POSTS of the YEAR award.
I wish to win of course, but if luck won’t be on my side, I’ll be happy to meet the winner/s and my co-bloggers at the awards night! See you on October 09, 2009! God bless.
I AM SO PROUD TO BE A FILIPINO BLOGGER.
