The 2009 Nuffnang Blog Awards Night and Winners

All I can say that time was: WHOAH…

I was here by the way hehehe…

I still can’t believe I was already gathered with other Asia Pacific Bloggers at one place. Everyone looked all-great and fabulous from the moment they stepped on the bus. Almost everyone had a camera ranging from small ones to the high end ones…I was like…again: WHOAH…I even thougt I was under-dressed for the occasion.

A variety of Pringles chips were everywhere for us to munch on…

At the Blog Awards, we were given directions that everyone should be at their designated tables for a given time. It was strictly followed when we just saw that the staff of the hotel were already removing table numbers.

I still can’t believe that I’m on a red carpet event with other bloggers from Singapore, Malaysia and Australia…WHOAH

(sorry for the picture..the carpet is orange-y! )

Wait..here’s a red carpet!

After a few minutes, the program proper already started with Alan Wu on stage. Later, the hotel staff started serving our Four Course Meal at the Nuffnang Awards (which I’ll blog about later). Everything was just sophisticated. Bread and Drinks were unlimited for consumption. All of us enjoyed eating while the awards were given to the winners. Me and other bloggers also enjoyed feasting on little bottles of customized candies for Nuffnang. I still adore the pieces of candies and keep them here with me to look at.

These are just so Kawaii!!! ^_^ And yeah..yummeh!

Apologies I only had to list the winners and the Filipino Finalists in this post! Here’s the picture of the number of finalists by the way..they’re just too many to list down. *nosebleed*

See how many the finalists were? Nuffnang had to sift thousands of blogs just to finally make a list so each finalist is already a winner at his/her own right!

After the event has culminated, lights were just flashing everywhere. As I said earlier, the place was swarmed with shutterbugs!

One of my favorite bloggers from the winners was Kenny Sia. He made me clap so hard with laughter when he made a cameo of Kanye West’s lines at the VMAS Awards to grandslam winner Ms. XiaXue. Haha..I just had to have a photo-op with him. Other than that, I like the fact how Kenny looked similar as Jehz that night. Jehz is just wholesome than him! Hahaha

Imma Let You Finish! Kenny Sia Style! Hahahahaha

I love this picture. It’s a keeper!

Everything at the Blog Awards was a memorable experience! I loved every moment of it! Until the next blog awards!
