Much to my surprise, I won the award for Best Personal Website in the 10th Philippine Web Awards 2007. What started off as a way to boost my domain name's traffic and page rank, turned out to be something inspiring. I wasn't expecting to reach the final round much less win, since my last 2 attempts in the past 9 years didn't even made it into the semi-final rounds. ^^v

I wanna say thanks to the people who signed the my guestbook, I really appreciate the complements and encouragements; I also wanna say thanks to my daughter Yz who was the inspiration for the Project Typecast design. Lastly thanks to my peers and to the award giving body, Media G8way.

2007 has been a great year for me with regards to my career, primarily because I've found my identity with regards to my designing style and what I really want to achieve in my career. Winning in the 10th Philippine Web awards was just icing to an already delicious cake. Not to mention my other project Kabuhayang Pinoy is slowly taking flight. I'm looking forward to 2008 with new ideas, a renewed senseof self esteem and lots of inspiration.

With that said, I hope I, and my fellow Filipino developers keep pushing the limits of our imagination and just keep on doing what we love doing with passion. I believe that if we keep at it eventually recognition and monetary opportunities will come our way; if they don't atleast we spent our time doing what we love doing, and maybe in the process inspired other upcoming developers/artists.
