The Winners of our 2nd Blogoversary “Ultimate Greeting Contest”
Dya-raaan!!! Hear ye! Hear ye!
Bariles is finally releasing the names of the winners to this blog’s Second Blogoversary “Ultimate Greeting Contest”!
The response to the contest was to say the least, better than he ever expected. Compared to last year, there are more entries this time, the messages are better composed and conceptualized and more personal in nature.
To guide him in his judging, he was on the lookout for the responses which not only touched him and inspired him the most but he was also partial to those messages which were able to encapsulate the real essence of this blog’s existence for the past two years.
In the end, all of the greeters are winners and nobody will come out of this unrewarded…. thanks to the generosity of our sponsors and donors, all of whom have also been part of Bariles’ success and have contributed to GenSan News Online Mag‘s transformation into becoming one of Mindanao’s and perhaps, of the country’s most well-received blogs.
Marami pong salamat sa lahat-lahat!

I wonder why your ComLuv here says: “Oh no! Comluv had an error with your feed, see message below.” I checked my URL many times but it’s correct. Any help with this, please? I love commenting here also because of it, hehehe!
Btw, I’ve featured my prize sponsor, Grab-a-Crab, and of course GNOM in my post today and I hope you don’t mind if I took screen shots of your post about Grab-a-Crab.
