Because I reached the Semi-finals round (Top 10 in Blogs category, LOL) of the 10th Philippine Web Awards, I qualified to compete in the People’s Choice Awards (Best Blog voted by YOU). I received an invitation to attend the awarding ceremony and after-party on Friday, November 23. But I’m unable to go, so I’m giving away my ticket! Who wants it? Serious inquiries only, please. I asked a PWA Committee rep if someone else could go in my place. She replied, “Yes. Just send us the complete name of the proxy/attendee for our Master List.” In related news, evil Paolo Mendoza @ KHOOPS.com is pimping my PWA nomination. A riot!

More info from the PWA site about SMS & online voting and venue:

“SMS and online voting are still on-going, with the deadline set at midnight on November 22. To vote, key in WEBBYS HELP and send it to 2973 for Globe and Touch Mobile and to 210 for Smart and Talk & Text. In order to take part in the online voting, register first at… philippinewebawards.com. There will be weekly draws, with a lucky voter having a chance to take home a cool prize… The Teatrino in Greenbelt Commercial Complex will serve as the venue on November 23, with pop bands Brass Monkeys and Join the Club set to light up the stage.”

You may have the virtual ticket on 4 conditions (HOLLER ASAP):

1. If I win (LOL, AS IF!), you will not accept the prize on my behalf as I’d rather have PWA folks handle the cost of shipping it out to me.
2. You’re a blogger who will blog about the event. I wanna know!
3. You’ll CONTACT ME at least 3 days before the event if you can’t go.
4. You’ll absolve me of any blame, e.g. boredom, inebriation, etc.

If you’re an unemployed bum, it’s your opportunity to schmooze with dull but connected reps from government, corporations, news media, etc.

I have no clue where these guys live or if they care to go, but I’m offering it first to Coy, Shari, and Gibbs Cadiz (guess a number from 1 to 20). But if none of them reply soon, I’ll consider all the other inquiries. HOLLER!

I’m not familiar with 69% of Philippine culture and locations, but I’m under the impression that the Teatrino is a nice venue and that food and drinks will be served. If the Teatrino was good enough for the birthday party that Philippine megastar Sharon Cuneta and husband Senator Kiko Pangilinan threw for Philippine megastar Judy Ann Santos… it can’t be that bad, eh?

Ah, and Paolo Mendoza? Many of my regular readers will already know him as the award-winning Philosophical Bastard with a fearless never-say-die attitude and amazing self-marketing skills. Like me, he finds it hilarious that I’m up against some Big Name Bloggers at a rate of 1 - 2 posts per month. No point in duplicating his entry, so just click the graphic below:

It’s a rather cheeky, lovely post where he gives step-by-step instructions on how to vote for FruityOaty and 6 reasons why you should vote for me. He even has a campaign slogan: “She Wacky, She Crazy, She FruityOaty.”

“The Best Philippine Blog that Afforded the $5.00 Fee.” BWAHAHAHA!

What’s even funnier is that he tagged bloggers who have never heard of me (with the exception of Joyfulchicken): MLQ3, Adventures of the Coconuter, Jayvee Fernandez, and Heneroso. (They’re muttering, “Who… ?”)

Lastly, many thanks to the following people who (as I understand it) are rooting for my fat cat Max, the underdog (no… undercat?): Ann Starfish @ Unwritten, Bluepanjeet @ OTWMD, Evilgenius @ evilgeniuses.ca, Juice @ yummeh.net, Joyfulchicken @ chickenmafia.com, Kaitlin @ Pretty Lunatic, Ramon @ FatherlYours.com, Tina @ Dance of Life, Dessert Queen and JUDE!

Thanks, but y’all do realize I’m going to… lose? Ehrm, it’s a popularity vote? Obscure blog? Next year, I’m plunking $5 to nominate someone worthy.

Thanks to YOU-KNOW-WHO-YOU-ARE for $5! I’d rather get a Happy Meal!

The Rising Internet Slacker will be back…

Adieu,

Massa P

P.S. Hey JUDE, I’ll give you $5 if you can name the FONT in the graphic.
