Exactly three months and five days before this blog’s second blogoversary, 
Lainy’s Musings reaped another milestone. This blog got inducted to the 2010 class of the World Blogging Entertainment Blog of Fame. 
When I got included in the list of nominees for the WBE Blog of Fame, it brought back so many memories when I got nominated for the First Most Sociable Blogger in 2008. I got lucky to have coveted the First Most Sociable Blogger Award 2 years ago by virtue of the support extended by friends at the poll. I was just a newbie then.
But this time around, the nomination is a lot different in a number of ways. I felt, honored, elated and privileged to have been chosen alongside with my co-nominees who hailed from different countries around the world.
But due to some factors that is beyond my control, I visualized myself not having the luxury of time to ask for assistance from blogpals for two reasons.
Firstly, seeking support would require being infront of the PC longer hours than necessary. That wouldn’t help me at all in trying to regain my health back.
Secondly, working on a 8-7 basis in tedious preparation for the Philippine Automated Elections had put my blogging hours on the haywire.
I only took advantage of the delimitating time available when I wasn’t too busy during the short holiday break.
I got lucky I had some sure pollsters- my family, relatives, friends, batchmates, and some churchmates at Ako’y INC.
And yes! Your guess is as good as mine! 
I’ve asked the support of Entrecarders and a good percentage have positively responded. Being an active member of Entrecard worked to my advantage and it has helped me enormously.
I even published a thank you post entitled THANK YOU FOR THE VOTES OF CONFIDENCE after I’ve sought support from identified frequent visitors and blogpals. Their response was truly overwhelming!
I’d like to especially mention that special friends took the extra mile to campaign on my behalf. I must say they truly are my friends in action!
A million thank you’s to Twerlyn of Twerlyn’s Way of Thinking for her campaigning efforts at Facebook and Atty. Eli of Business Sphere for his constant support. He sent out messages to some of his blogging comrades to gather more number of pollsters.
Also, my heartfelt gratitude goes out to Polly of Random Ramblings, real-life sweethearts Uncle Che of AZ Blogging, and his fiancee, Baby Noela of My Blog Says. They all have continuously inspired and motivated me to be the best blogger I can be. Their ceaseless words of encouragements have sincerely touched the very core of my being!
I’ll never forget to give thanks to my all-time and brilliant mentor, W I N D Y. I must say this recognition is sweeter if shared with him. He has a supreme influence in my blogging journey. He is a remarkable man and he will always have a special place in my heart. I have missed his presence in the blogosphere and I so look forward to sharing glorious blogging hours again with him some time in the near future.
I’d like to share this recognition to my co-nominees especially Marzie and Lady Java who also are most deserving to be inducted.
Lastly, I most sincerely thank David Funk of Basic Bloganomics for coming up with this undertaking. This is an event that taught me a lot of things.
These are some of the lessons learned that I have randomly taken into account:
- It has kept me firmly grounded. With all humility, I recognize the apparent fact that I owe this blog’s success to all of Y O U who kept this blog alive and breathing.
- To each his own. It ain’t surprising that out of 10 people, one person may disagree with me, dislike or hate what I am doing. That is fine by me so long as we don’t go beyond the boundary we call respect.
- Asking a favor is not always a pain in the neck. All we need to do is A S K.
- Showing our gratitude by linking up is not necessarily bribery. Simply put, a favor granted deserves some form of recognition.
- Friendliness is next to Godliness! Need I say more?
- The greater the sacrifice, the sweeter the prize! The campaigning efforts of yours truly and my friends didn’t proved futile. At least, our efforts paid off!
I know there’s still a helluva lot of things to learn while I take this blogging passion to greater heights. I thank you all for your unfailing support and for sharing with me wonderful blogging moments.
I am sharing the WBE Blog of Fame to all of Y O U who have supported me openly and also to those who have supported me in silence! (You all know who you are )

Congratulations again to you Lainy!
You really deserve to be inducted!
I love it when you said :”Asking a favor is not always a pain in the neck”. So true. but just like you, I did not have much time to ask so many for help. I am glad that my friends and relatives were there to vote for me.
About my hacked Facebook, after more than an hour of trying to fix it, I finally was able to do it. Tough one hour and a half of my life. http://www.ovahcoffee.com/2010/01/maxis-facebook-account-hacked-update.html
Have a great day Lainy!

Thank you, Maxi for always believing in me and congratz as well for bagging the same recognition.
I am glad you had your Facebook account back. I didn’t know you were having a hard time trying to get it back last night because I got too preoccupied writing stuffs, hehe!
Well done!
Thanks for posting this, Lainy. I do have to make a small correction in that this blog wasn’t inducted into the WBE Blog of Fame. You were.
The voters spoke loud and clear that you belonged in. Also, I did nominate you as finalist for many of the reasons you said here. And again, the voters agreed.
I agree with you about Marzie and Lady Java. I have no doubt they’ll be joining you one day.
Thanks for the support of this event which has gone way better than I had anticipated.
Best wishes for you my dear friend!

Thanks Bing! I just got the recognition and I am sharing it with you as well.
What a wonderful way leading to your blog’s second blogversary!
In a comment of the sponsor David Funk, he says that it’s not your blog that was inducted to the World Blogging Entertainment Blog of Fame, but you.
But I was confused because the title itself is self-explanatory — World Blogging Entertainment Blog of Fame, and it talks about blog.
Either way, you deserved the honor, the accolade, the fame. Congratulations!

I thought so too, Atty. That’s why I had this post titled “Lainy’s Musings Got Inducted to the WBE Blog of Fame.” But then David pointed out that it’s ME that got inducted and not Lainy’s Musings. So I just had to modify the title, LOL!
Anyways. you have been a big part of this undertaking, Atty. I recognize the effort you’ve invested in sending out messages to your friends. I truly appreciate it and I certainly owe you one!
Hi Sistah,
Congratulations!
You truly deserve it!
