I have known for several days now that my blog, Heart of Rachel is an official nominee at The Philippine Blog Awards 2008 for the Blogger's Choice Award. Honestly, it took me a while to make this post. I guess I felt overwhelmed at the thought of being part of a prestigious blog event.


I would like to thank Rowena of The Sweet Life for nominating me. When I received her text message letting me know that she nominated me at The Philippine Blog Awards, I was so surprised. I never expected it. I was a follower of the event last year but I never thought that I would be nominated this year.

There are 47 nominees for the Blogger's Choice Award this year and I feel so honored to be part of this list. Thank you Rowena for believing in me. It feels so good to know that someone like you thinks that my humble blog is worthy of being recognized. That by itself makes me feel like a winner.
