I really don’t know what to say when I heard the news that my podcast, Brink Notes Entertainment Daily Podcast, has bagged the Best Podcast Award at the 2009 Philippine Blog Awards held at the PETA Theatre in Quezon City. Obviously, I wasn’t at the awarding ceremonies. I was in school performing for “Dancing in September,” a culminating activity for all dance classes offered at the UP Diliman College of Human Kinetics, which also served as our PE final examination. Besides, traffic was worse going to UP Diliman to MRT-North Avenue Station. And yes, the MRT sucks big time that night.
I forget how I felt that night but what I am sure of is that my mom cried (literally) when I told her that I won. I wasn’t really expecting to win because of the three finalists on the Best Podcast category, Brink Notes Entertainment Daily Podcast was the only podcast hosted by one person (me!), which I think, made my podcast boring or bland. Haha. What I know is that I really exerted a lot of effort on that show being a daily podcast and that I really like what I am doing. Last summer, I would wake up early in the morning, write my show, ask my mom to leave the room (so I can record 
), record, edit and upload the show on the same day. My efforts have paid off.
Like I said on my last entry, I’m forever grateful to everyone who has been with me through my journey in the podcasting world. Thank you, really!
