First, I would like to thank the people who are behind the 2008 Philippine Blog Awards. Despite the fact that I wasn’t there to witness the event as much as I want to, but I was still thankful for the live streaming they have set up. I mean it, I enjoyed watching from the moment they had setted up the venue, till the event had started. Bad enough, for it suddenly went offline. Huhuh.. So I have to wait for the results instead with too much excitement 
and was just checking updates via Plurk. (thanks to my plurkmates 
)
So much for that, I would like to CONGRATULATE the winners of the 2008 Philippine Blog Awards!
SEASONS GREETINGS!

Mandaue Chamber of Commerce launches the 1st MBM LAN PARTY today. The 24 hour event (Aug. 23 8am up until Aug. 24 8am) officially opened at exactly 10 a.m this morning. Ten persons per minute were allowed to enter the arena. But prior to that, since it was announced that the event will start at 8am, hundreds of gamers were waiting outside for about 2 hours. In fact, there was a minor raffle draw held, as an apology for it took a while for the event to start. The prizes were 5 LAN Party T-shirt and 5 HP ball pen.
Most of the people really believed that such date - August 08, 2008 abbreviated as [ 08.08.08 ] is a lucky day for everyone. In Chinese culture, 8 is an extremely lucky number. (i believed so, since my date of birth has 8 as well 03.08.87)
Moreover, one of the most common event on this day is the: BIG DATE - Wedding. Couple believed that it’s a lucky wedding date. In fact, churches in the country today and around the world are fully booked for weddings. Hotels and some other reception areas for weddings are fully booked as well.
Another significant event is the opening of Beijing 2008 Olympic Games also known as the Games of the XXIX Olympiad.
However, according to some feng sui experts (as what i have watched a while ago in TV Patrol ), 08.08.08 is not really a lucky date. An irony to what most people believed.

Boom!-ta-RAT-ta-RAT!
around 12 noon yesterday, just done troubleshooting the issue of the last caller, i continued chatting with my friend online…. on my surprise, i felt that the building was shaking for about 4 seconds it stops and it shakes again for about 5 or 6 seconds…. at that very moment, i felt panic, i wanna ran out but in my mind i was thinking: where would i go?
This morning i read the news, and here is the overview of that incident.
AN intensity 4 earthquake shook Cebu at 12:12 p.m. yesterday while in Bohol it was intensity 5.
No damage to property was reported, though, said seismic observer Robinson Jorgio of the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Philvolcs) based in Lapu-Lapu City.
The epicenter of the earthquake of tectonic origin was traced offshore, about five kilometers from Jagna, Bohol and west of Anda, Bohol.
The area has an active offshore fault, Philvolcs-Manila research specialist Ismael Narag said in a radio dyLA interview.
