Are you aware that I joined the grandest blogversary contest ever held in blogosphere’s history? It’s a contest of brain, beauty and talent…ok I’m kind of exaggerating here, please delete “beauty” and place in there “perseverance”. The highest pointer will covet $200!

Guess what?

I don’t have the same perseverance as Marce Niko who whooped 9169 POINTS and with Sherry who reached 8795 POINTS! But my 7081 POINTS earned me $50 as the 3rd placer of the contest. Not bad at all. I’m glad I was able to support Marce Kaye and Marce Peh until the end of times end of the contest.

Aside from winning $50, I won another $5 for being one of the first 10 contestants who finished with the requirements ahead of all the others, $5 for giving the best review for NOOB- Marce Pehpot’s blog for tips and techniques on blogging and earning online and another $5 for being one of the 3 random winners for posting about the contest.

Another unexpected blessing is that my review for Online Mommy’s Corner pleased the author so she’s giving me another $5 !

Aside from the monetary blessings I received from the contest, here are some benefits I gained by just simply joining KP Blogversary Contest:

1. It helps me enhances my reviewing skill (winning as one of the BEST REVIEWS boosts my self-confidence).

2. I could now leave informative and engaging comments.

3. It makes me aware that I should place an “About Me” page and “Categories” widget for the benefits of my visitors and readers.

4. I have changed blogging schedule. Instead of sleeping late at night, I now practiced waking up as early as 3:00 am just to give time to my blog. During the KP’s Blogversary Contest I couldn’t blog at night because I’ll have to put my son to bed and I need to have enough sleep because of my class. Because of the contest, I made a decision to wake up earlier instead and I’m doing that until now .
