WHEE! WHEE! WHEE!
OMG! I have been nominated for the 2007 Philippine Blog Awards Travel Category.
And not that I'm saying "Log onto their site and vote for me" for the Blogger's Choice Award.
All I'm saying is "Log onto their site and vote for me" for the Blogger's Choice Award.
That's all.
1. How does it feel to be nominated for the PBA?
Fresh. It's the first time I have been nominated for anything since the time I won the Mr. Whitey Teeth White Smile Contest sponsored by Crest in the sixth grade. And the Yvonne Force Award in College. Hmmm. Wait. That doesn't make the feeling too fresh in the end, does it?
How about this. It feels just great. Thank you. It's an honor.
2. Do you know who nominated you?
Nope. Wish I did.
3. Why do you think your blog was nominated?
No idea. It could be because every post has pictures. And people like pictures. I know I do. Words can be very...wordy.
4. Who do you think will win in your category?
I would love to say me but that just would be crass wouldn't it?
5. Why do you think you should win?
Perhaps because it's a blog with a real travel service attached to it. It goes beyond the requirements because it offers a service in real time and space.
But to paraphrase many an American Idol Candidate: "Really, it's not up to me, it's up to all the voters out there."
6. What would you do if you win?
Thank the academy and all those who voted just like Meryl Streep does. Then have a Glenlivet and check my email.
7. What do you think of the Philippine blog awards?
Never thought of it much before. But I'm sure thinking about it now. Frankly, The Philippine Blog Awards are just wonderful to tell you the truth. Any competition that strives to raise the bar of anything is always an admirable pursuit.
8. Is there a blog that's not nominated but deserves to be nominated in the
PBA?

9. Would you join the next Philippine blog awards?
If you would have me.
10. Any messages to your fellow nominees?
Good luck to all of us and may the best blogger win.
Read about all the other nominees on The Four Eyed Journal. Thank you Jhay.

Congrats, Carlos!! Very, very well deserved! I didn't know we could vote? I'm on my way now...
love the fact that you post your picture in the same category with dame judi dench. hehehehe. all the best!
Vote? Ang lagay eh...!
Kidding! On my way to the polls!
wow. Congrats. I do like your site.
Congratulations!
By the way, JessicaRulestheUniverse is nominated too. Check out the category for Personal blogs.
Ako ay naiiskandalo dahil ang aking grupo- ang PAWISING ANAK na isang NGO-NGO na binubuo ng mga dukha at maralita na nag-aaral sa unibersidad at may sariling mga kompyuter at selyular pown at dahil kami ay mahiwagang dukha ay hindi namin iniisip na magtrabaho part-time upang makatulong sa panggastos sa bahay, ay hindi kasama dito sa ELITISTANG blog award na ito. Napakapansin-pansin na ang blog award na ito ay isang pamaraan upang isulong ng mga elitistang katulad ninyo ang inyong lason na pag-iisip na yumaman at mag-aral! Kayo ang salot sa lipunan dahil ayaw ninyong manatiling mangmang sa kamunduhan ang masang Pilipino.
Sumasama loob namin sa inyong elitistang posisyon. At dahil dito, ako at ang aking mga kasamahan ay pupunta ngayon din sa Mendiola at ipo-protesta namin ang aming hindi paglahok dito sa pamamagitan ng pagsigaw ng "Gloria Resign!"
Mabuhay si Ka Satur! Amen.
In other words, Carlos. Congratulations and me and my friends are seriously rooting for you and your elitista site to win something. Good luck, sir!

Congratulations for being a finalist for the Philippine Blog Awards 2007 under the Travel Category.
I'm part of the organizing team for the Awards Night and am making the rounds to gather the contact info and establish direct communication with the finalists. This will give us an avenue to give instructions and other details.
May we ask for the following please?
Real Name:
Email address
Mobile Number
City and Country where you are based
Once this is settled, we'll know where to communicate the Awards Night details with.
We hope to hear from you soon.
All the best to you and your blog.
- Jun
Sure.
Can you send me your email so can send the info?
Thanks!
Cheers.
hi Sir Carlos, it's me again.. i dunno if somebody else nominated you as well.. but i actually nominated you there.. coz i was like surprised not to see you there (travel category) when you should be (not that i'm asking for credit or anything hehe).. i truly think you deserve it.. good luck! ^_^
Hi Carlos,
Congrats for the nomination!!!!
You really deserve it man!!!!!
I visit your blog almost daily. Especially when I am homesick of Manila and the Philippines. Always a great pleasure to roam around in your blog in the archives of former features you brought. Manila needs people like you to show how great this city can be 'if we look at it in a different way' like you say always. I will defenitely vote for you- Hope you will win - I keep the fingers cross for it and wish you good luck for it!!!!
What's up with acidboy?
Anyways, thank you very much sir for obliging to the interview. :D
I just interviewed Carlos Celdran! Yey!
Good luck and hope to see you at the awards night. :)
hay naku, etong http://eatingthesun.blogspot.com sobrang inggit sa PBA nominees!
Congratulations Carlos!
So many of my favorite people ie bloggers are on the list this year. I wish we could vote for more than one!
hi carlos. sent you email na.
are you going to the big night? i wanna take a photo with you :D sana pagbigyan mo ako hehe.
Hwe hwe.
Ya. Ill be there.
Click away man.
THE PHILIPINES:
a country with an unwanted regime led by a non-elected president, praised or over-praised by trapos and fanaticos! this country needs a change of leadership. only fools believe that being anti-arroyo is being comunistic. glo arroyo's regime looks like a maoist regime to me. this nation needs democracy, not gloria-dynasty!
Sana mamigay din ang web-awards' giving body na yan ng "most sipsip to the Arroyo-regime award", hehehehehe! Andami-dami atang mga sipsip sa rehimeng Arroyo sa mga blogs na yan. Meron akong gustong i-nominate sa kategorya na yan, pero wag na lang. Baka makalbo ako e!
I am not really into politics! But I do agree that Mrs. Arroyo has to leave the Philippine presidency for the Filipino people's own good.
She should go to the Vatican and make a retreat there after leaving behind her presidency. It's for her own peace of mind.
I hope the Filipino communists will leave behind their wrong ideology. Cheers for the Philippines!
I agree w/ what jazz handsome had commented on Mrs. Arroyo. She really has to go........... away from the presidency. She should have been impeached last year ago...........
And I would have to say that the would-be web-award for "tours" should be given to a non_biased and truly-objective web page. Bigotry and arrogance should not be the basis of any webby award-giving body on giving out awards. My own web page is itself nominated for a certain category. I'm a "web-superstar" in the real sense of the word. But I do allow freedom of expression at/on my blog.
Internet Miron, Jazz handsome, and nigger boy.
You are all idiots and your reasoning for why Gloria should go is pedantic.
Don't know what pedantic means? Look it up, morons.
In the worlds of Carlos, "Stay the F--- away from his blog."
I cannot seem to vote! is there really an option to vote? I've been trawling the site so I could vote for the blogs I like but now it seems I have missed it.
Oh, well. Here's one vote for your blog, Carlos. *blushing" Sorry I'm still so dense about these things.
The photo accompanying this post is hilarious. Best of luck with the awards and as they say ... it's an honor just being nominated. =)
Well, I'm a "celebrity-blogger" myself. I'm a well-known actor and director. Showbiz na showbiz ako, wika nga. I'm secured with my jobs. Sana lang, yung mga "bloggers" dito sa Pinas ay marunong magsalita ng tama. Hindi yung tipong "bastusin". Ang "blog" ko ay malinis sa mga pagmumura at kahit na anumang mga maruruming salita. Kaya I know that if I win a blog-award, alam ko na deserving ako. Let's do it clean!
Mr. Internet Moron, allowing "freedom of expression" means you allow
opinions to be stated, that is what a blog is supposed to be. A
"non-biased and truly objective web page" would ideally be a
newspaper. Wrong tree ...
LOVE that photo of yours up there at the Oscars, Carlos! Did a double take and then chuckled. Excited to see you on Saturday. I really hope you win in your category. Then we can throw another dessert party. Whee!
