The True Spirit of Winning

I have been writing reviews for a particular site since December of 2007. This month of February, the site has launched a contest on most popular or most rated article or review of the month. Of course, I inored it and simply went on with my regular reviewing articles. But without my knowledge, some people/members of the site have positively rated my work and I found it to be in the top 5 area. So I began to promote it to go up and also, to advertise my articles and my profile a little... if my name and image appears in the first page of the site. And to make the story short, I made to the top 3 and eventually to the top 2 making it indeed appear on the first page.

Yesteraday (February 23) I have thought to ask the help of my blogger friends. Among them are Anino, Coolingstar, Emotera and Gina. Actually, at that moment, I was just testing the waters. If they help me, all right, if not, still all right. However, as I wake this morning and logged to this review site I have I saw all their rpositive atings and positive comments. I was astonished. I never expected this!

Currently, I am running second. But of course, I don't loose hope although the contest is ending in five days (four days if we base on Philippine time) but I already considered myself as a winner... not winning literally but to see the support of people you asked help from, it's definitely a feeling of a champion.If you happen to read this and cast your vote, I am not hypocrite not to appreciate it! I highly appreciate it! Of course!

I did consider it a true help because it was not a simple process. Because first, I required them to sign up HERE and we are to be automatic friends in this site, and after they have completed and confirmed their memebership, I requested them to click " HERE 2 and rate my work. You may do the same at your heart's will. And in advance, I thank you.

As a gratitude, I post their respective blogs here and I will do the same to those who support my review as well. And adding an image in your profile settings if you sign up is really great. Just post a comment when you finish doing it and I would obligue to add your your link to be seen by the rest. This is arrange according to who signed and commented first. My deepest gratitude to all of YOU! Grazie a tutti! Grazzie a tutti! Maraming slamat! In simple words, THANK YOU!

  9. of corz naman friend, full support kami sayo. youre very welcome and thank you very much for the feature. thanks you very much also for supporting us.
    winning does not necessarily mean taking home trophy or an award, winning is what you discover after all the contest. winning friends is more than winning a trophy. friends discovered are treasures than a trophy or certificate.

    Goodluck! i truly enjoy blogging coz i enjoy meeting real friends :)
    God bless :)

  38. Hi bluedreamer! I'll be in your site to take all the tags! lol! Thanks for all, sorry for the late replies ... just a bit occupied, you know...

    Sheng, thanks a lot, i'll be in your page soon as well, actually as I was drinking my morning milk, i browsed your posts thru my phone but it's difficult to make a post with phone so now I am with PC and I can do it.

    And to my beloved friend, Gina, don't worry girlush! I know how busy you are! hahaha! I have been thru that! Actually, I think mine was worse... I happen to sleep under the table in the office for at least 50 times!

    Just make a good work in the office and take care. Don't forget about your health, okies>?
