The Philippine Blog Awards is gonna raffle off a brand-new Nokia N82? And all I gotta do is vote for a blog vying for the Bloggers’ Choice Award to get a chance to win it? Why didn’t you say so in the first place? :P
Here’s my vote. Because I am a visual person and the first thing that attracts me to a blog is its aesthetics, I am voting for Octwelve. I’ve come across Luc Melgar’s blog a few times before since her portfolio is being featured on some well-known design sites I’m subscribed to. When I found out that it was a Filipina behind those awesome designs that’s being showcased alongside international projects, I felt proud. If she can do it, so can we! Only, I can’t. :(
It is blog designs like this one that makes me want to throw mine straight into the trash. And it is full-fledged freelance web designers like her who makes me want to give up my full-time job and fearlessly take on the Work-at-Home world. But, evidently, I’m still a looong way off, so I’m not gonna do that. Check out her rockin’ portfolio!
On a related note, the Philippine Blog Awards has opened 200 slots for bloggers who want to attend the Awards Night this Sunday. You may register here if you want a slot.
I know it’s not required, but I don’t mind including the sponsors in this post. They earned it!

c’mon you can’t?! You have one of the best blog designs I’ve seen and you do great works for eweb no :D
Mae: I knew I could count on you to say something nice.. *hugz*
LOLS.
aaww I’m not being nice, I’m just telling the truth :D
Oh wow, I’ve seen her portfolio before! I was looking at GeekStorage for a while some months ago, wow, I didn’t even really think of looking at who the designer was. It’s interesting that she’s Filipina! :D
As for your question, I went with matte. :) I went to the Apple Store with my older brother, and in all honesty, I couldn’t see much of a difference between the two screens?? Maybe I just didn’t know what to look at, lol. But yeah, my brother made me explain the difference between the two, and when he realized that matte meant anti-glare/reflective, he was all “Then you didn’t even have to come here anymore!” lol. But yeah. XD
“If she can do it, so can we! Only, I can’t. :(”
- LOL. Yes you can! You’re a great designer (would you be part of E.Webscapes if you weren’t?) and you’re only gonna get better. =D
BTW, I have another question regarding WP codes… Waiting for you to get here. Hahahaha.
I agree with Mae, Joni… come on… you’re more than good enough in web design :) teach me teach me! hehe :) tc!
