Blog Awards, Inspirational Stories, Random Thoughts 107 comments

Doubts were looming overhead like a dark clouds following me wherever I go. Dragging myself back, attempting to evade myself from entertaining my skepticism.

I told myself that I won’t lose anything if I try, but instead I would probably have hit something if ever I try. My hearts impulse and my mind analysis were fighting as if they never have done any team works before. I closed the window of my brain for a while and listen to the pulses of my heart, then my heart began to palpitate like as if my adventurous soul have just met another adrenaline adventure. My passion arises from the heart and sounds like traveling to the truth of finally passing over to the other side of the bridge and embrace what was waiting for me there.

I hit the button that says register here with an only courage from deep within to somehow try, and not expecting anything. It demanded me a while to decide, I read back the instruction that says, the registration will only be accepted before 11:59 PM on September 30, 2016. It was September 29, 2016 right after my dinner where I finally had enough courage to register my blog and just a few hours after that, I got an email that says I’m one of the nominees for the Philippines’ Best Blogger 2016.

I was speechless and elated, knowing that I’m now part of The Philippine Bloggers Awards 2016. Then another email arrived early in the morning just about 2:00 am that says, your website has been verified and used this second -phase of validation code for 2016 PHILIPPINES’ BEST BLOGGER under the Category of Travel and Leisure. I was then very happy during that time, I told myself that I won’t be expecting anything, considering the fact that there were brilliant, responsible and deserving bloggers all over the Philippines who could get it to the final round.

October 1, of 2016 around 3:39 am to be exact, an email that motivates and had made me realize that I should always believed to whatever talent that God has given me, by letting God known and be recognized through my works. The happiness you get when you don’t expect something to arrive, but you hope for it is like watching a magic show, you caught yourself appreciating everything and that takes in your happiness genuine and extraordinary.

So I woke up early in the morning while groping my smart phone that was peacefully placed on the side of my bed while rubbing my well rested eyes. I turn it on and my index finger reached the screen while pointing exactly to a mobile data so I can finally check emails, blog notifications and my social media accounts.

Exactly that moment, I read the email that was sent to me and brought good news that I’m one of the Finalist for  “2016 Philippines’ Best Travel and Leisure Blogger.” I couldn’t elucidate the happiness I had during that morning, and I thank God for granting me the opportunity to showcase His wonderful creation by sharing my adventures and the beauty of our Mother Nature.

There were only 29 Bloggers from different categories that was blessed to have earned it to the final round for “2016 Philippines’ Best Blogger” Casting of votes will start today October 1, 2016 until October 31, 2016.
