Based on last night’s BlogParteeh, here are 10 reasons to prove why there is a God:

10. Got to meet, greet, and take photos with the bloggers on my wish list, including Noemi, Abe, and Migs.

9. Joni was thinking she’d have no one to hang out with. Turns out my wallflower officemate ended up becoming Ms Popular. Who would’ve thunk?

8. Apparently, some people thought I was noisy and obnoxious boisterous. I’m sorry, was I? That’s great; I thought people would think I was shy and demure. (Nothing kills a party like silent people. What, you wanna sit around and stare at each other?)

7. Three whole Christians and one atheist at a table, and no food fight. Lord, ang galing Ninyo.

6. There are people who blog about good things in this world. Kudos to you, Jun.

5. I got a picture with BO SANCHEZ! Hahahaha! This man rocks my socks! And check out the photos - the holy man matched me wide grin for wide grin!
4. I sat at the luckiest most God-blessed table ever. Like, everyone at my table won a prize. Geri took home too many prizes to count.

3. The winner of the I-Pod, AJ, accepted his prize in the coolest way ever - arms on sides, head slightly tilted, with that, well, yeah, so here I am, sorry folks, my prize grin on this face. There is a God because the winner wasn’t some boisterous person who felt entitled to it. I wish I was half as droll.

2. I won the prize I wanted. Sure, I didn’t win the IPod, nor the classy speakers. But the one prize I did want, I got. I won the Bubba Gump gift cert! Yummy shrimp meal, here I come!

And the number one reason why there is a God…

1.  Benj and I didn’t end up killing each other (well, he would’ve killed me if there weren’t too many witnesses). Turns out that he’s not as… um… freakishly scary as I thought. No knives or anything. I left the party feeling much, much better. That still won’t stop me from whupping his ass on PEx when he gets all vitriolic.

While Mike Abundo challenges flamers to a fight, I find myself mulling over the real-time possibility that is bound to happen tomorrow:

I’m going to meet Benj. *deep breaths*

Benj is an old online nemesis (hahaha!). One thing that has made this guy so irresistible to me as a blogger is his ability to push my buttons, usually not in the way I’d like my buttons pushed, if you know what I mean. Benj tells it like it is, and sometimes a lot of times, I don’t like being told like it is. This latest post is one such example. Read more

I’ve been a Filipino-Christian blogger for more than seven years, and the Blog Parteeh ‘07 is the first time I’ve been even remotely interested in an eyeball.

So, what do you think, fellas? Shall we see each other there, and bring together a strong Filipino-Christian blogger contingent? Email superblessed at gmail dot com.

Update: I got my e-ticket in my email a few minutes ago, so I guess, yeah, I’m going! My name’s on the website as well. Now, here’s the next quandary, in poetic form:

Now that I’m going, what am I to wear?
What will go well with my stylish brown hair?
Can I wear flipflops, or shall I wear shoes?
Should I drive there and then not drink free booze?

Really, the problems I have with this life
revolve around how to make peace with my wife.
For when she finds out that I’m going to this,
I just might be wrong, but I think she’ll be pissed.

Love you, honey!
