What an incredible opportunity to kick off 2013 by receiving a nomination as Best Newcomer Blog in The Bloscars 2013, The Skyscanner Travel Blog Awards.  

I have been blogging for six (6) months and I am simply awed by the feedback of the public and being recognized by some institutions or groups . The recent was top notching the Filipino Bloggers Worldwide (FBW) Top Travel Blog for 2012 held last December 2012.

Being nominated alone is already an overwhelming honor as there are hundreds or thousands of travel bloggers out there who are unique in their own writing and storytelling techniques.
