Good thing blogs publish dates. Else, I won't know that two months have passed since our site made it as a semifinalist to the 11th Philippine Web Awards. The blog title was even wanting of an answer, "Can we make it to the Finals?"
Now I go big, bright and bold: YES, WE MADE IT!
The year started rightly good. Fresh from the Sagada adventure and the New Year then Exchange Gift Giving Celebration, we went back to work breezing through the first official business week of the year.
The "news" was like an appetizer and the outpouring of support and encouragement from 8lien believers, the main course of our weekend.
To our friends and colleagues, thanks again. Those "pat in the back" are great motivators. With the anticipation on the FOSS Bill and us making a stand, then igniting a blast on our 8ix TeleVantage, the PhilWebbies is an added reprieve.
And here we are again, enjoining everyone to have a stand, be heard. Firstly, on the FOSS Bill, and now on the PhilWebbies. Yours may not be leaning towards our side, but a voice heard, a stand given or a ballot cast, is way much better than a shrugged shoulder.
