There are moments in our lives that can be described as
unforgettable,
priceless,
SURREAL!
In my 35 years of existence and in my five years of blogging,
this once-in-a-lifetime-event is one of those special moments.
I am very blessed to have experienced it with MY FAMILY. 
It’s my honor, joy and pleasure to receive the 2012 Malaysia Tourism International Bloggers Awards -Best Expat Malaysia My Second Home Blog from the Ministry of Tourism Malaysia in the Gala Awards Night held at Saloma Theater in Kuala Lumpur, 8th May 2012.
I share this blissful moment with the people I live for –MY FAMILY,
with this blog’s readers and followers,
with my great friends
and all of my students in the Philippines and in Malaysia,
with the generous and selfless people who took time and efforts to vote for this humble site,
with my fellow Filipino bloggers who mostly remain an inspiration.
I am grateful to the Ministry of Tourism Malaysia for including an Expat blog category in this international event. I am also thankful to the esteemed panel of judges and to the honorable Minister of Tourism Malaysia herself, Dato’ Sri Dr. Ng Yen Yen (the beautiful Malaysian lady in light blue gown in the photos), for empowering social media particularly, blogs and bloggers with such event and recognition. My greetings and congratulations go out to the other 15 blogger-winners of this prestigious event. This achievement will serve as a motivation for me to continue what I have considered a passion and a part of my lifestyle.
To God be the glory!
Mabuhay!
