// Guitarchic Dot Net* My Life, One Strum at a Time

It was my first step into trying to go back to normal. I know it’s fairly acceptable for me to NOT be there, but a part of me wanted to find out if being around people would somehow help me cope and move on.

Besides, it was the very first Philippine Blog Awards. And two of my (online and offline-also) friends, Joni and Marc, were nominated, and I somehow wanted to be there for moral support. And I was rooting for Ely, Markku (congrats dude!), Mae, and Liz (congrats girl!) also. And even though I was missing-in-action towards the end of the preparations, I figured the least I could do was to be on the sidelines, cheering on Tina and Jomar and the whole Stage and Deco Committee, as well as the rest of the wonderful wonderful volunteers of PBA07.

Plus Josiah’s Catering was there, and I sortof deem myself accountable to Tita Jet and Tito Boyet Versoza (owners of Josiah’s Catering) since I was the one who asked them for sponsorship to begin with. And then there’s Jayvee (whom I seem to be accidentally-on-purpose bumping a lot into lately) and Gail (who was very understanding when I had to excuse myself from my assignments). I know my presence there that night didn’t really equate to any significant difference, but I had a lot of reasons to want to be there.

In spite of a lot of things, and although I didn’t think being there helped me to feel normal again, I’m still glad I came. I know it’s a tad too late to be posting this, but just the same, congratulations to the organizers, winners, and volunteers of the Philippine Blog Awards 2007. Looking forward to next year’s big event. c”,)
