Yes I know that the awarding ceremony of the Philippine Blog Awards 2010 is more than 12 hours away but I have this gut feeling. Our sister gaming blog, Back2Gaming.com, will be this year's winner under the Gaming Blog category. Trust me.

Only three blogs made it into the finals of the Gaming Blog category: GameDok, Mukhang Pera and Back2Gaming.

Mukhang Pera is technically not a Gaming Blog (I assume that Gaming Blog = video/online games since I can't find the description of the category on the PBA site) so it's a face-off between GameDok and Back2Gaming. Of course I'm biased towards B2G, so congrats in advance guys! Make us proud!

*cries*

[UPDATE] 8PM

THEY WON!! BACK2GAMING.COM WON!!! Best Gaming Blog and Best Hobbies/Recreation Blog!!! WOOOOOOOOOT!!!!
