Three days has passed since the Awardings Night of SEO Philippine’s Ituloy Angsulong keyword ranking contest. I would have gone ahead and (excitedly) blogged about everything that happened, only I was left drained–physically, mentally, emotionally, you got it–and no matter how happy I am with what this site has achieved, heaviness has simply overruled self-fulfillment. (Now this sounds familiar.)
(Personal) lessons learned: (1) We ought to give our best wherever, whenever, but we can never really expect people to recognize, much more, to appreciate. (2) It’s a competitive world out there. You can never really know who to trust. Coz sometimes, the ones who befriend you are the ones who will stab you at the back. (3) Then again, at the end of the day, there still remains a few people who believes in what you can do. Ultimately, they are the ones that matter.
So hey, I’ve recharged, and I’m back to my giddy and perky and pink-y self. (Gah.) Congratulations to those who made it to the top, to all the participants, to the sponsors, to the organizers, and to The Man behind this contest.
But most of all, I’d like to congratulate Ms. Janette Toral and Ada Lajara for waving the women’s flag high up all throughout the race, and making it to finish line in flying colors. It was lovely meeting you both.
Navigate to Miss Toral’s blog to see some of the participants’ post-Ituloy Angsulong contest documentations.
And now, more Ituloy Angsulong moments in pixels.

My greatest moral support, Joni, my partner-in-everyway; and Ronan, the guy behind this lovely, lovely pinkness (waah? Hehe, I still wish you get to win the Best in Design award, but it really doesn’t matter anymore–we’ve already accomplished our mission *wink*). Luuurve these two to bits 
PINKseo meets BLUEseo : Hi Ely 
This ain’t a very good shot, but just to show how proud I am to be part of the elite top 10 (Google) even just for a night
She was the real SEO Babe (with Miss Aileen Apolo, Google Philippines country consultant)
Then again, at the end of the day, I’m just your ordinary GUITARCHIC, haha. So yeah.
So there you have it folks. The Awardings Night seen through this pink-colored lense. I still haven’t decided what to do with this blog but since it’s still getting an enormous amount of traffic (from WORDPRESS, im sure haha), I’m definitely going to do something GRAND about it. Hehe.
But for now, this is PINKSEO, signing off.

I came across your site while participating in my own seocontest (shopautodotca seocontest) in Canada where I am fairly sure I am the only girl. Your site is sooooo pretty and pink. I hope that when the contest is over I can revamp my page too. Congrats on doing so well in your contest!
By the way, I am currently in #1 in MSN, #4 in Google and Yahoo! HATES ME! I am really new to this and like you I pretty much thought it would be a good learning experience.
Anyways, any links or advice would be so appreciated.
P.S. It’s nice to know that being girl in a man’s world has not made you lose your style or femininity! (all your sites are beautifully well-done and I can tell a woman lives there) Can I say Grrrl Power without sounding totally silly?
Take care and stay pink!
