Emerging Influential Blogs Year 3

NOTE: Though Missing Carlo is NOT a Food Blog, I just felt that I have to post my Thank You entry here

Last year, this blog was recognized as one of the Emerging Influential Blogs of 2008. Missing Carlo received a lot of nomination mostly from parents of special children. I do admit that I was rather active last year compared to now. I can say that in a way, I have moved on from the loneliness that Carlo’s moving out caused me. This blog also inspired me to write, produce and direct a short film called Kuya Bunso, which is now on its post-production stage.

Anyway, I am happy to inform you guys that Patay Gutom, the group food blog where I am an active member, was recognized as one of the Emerging Influential Blogs of 2009!

My dear Nyokers Winston and Ada were included in the list too.

Let me share you some of the screen shots i took while chatting with my loving family who is now based in England:

I am really happy with all the improvements with Carlo. His teacher named Sharon is constantly sending some reports and photos to my grandfather’s inbox. Reading and seeing his photos can make me smile in an instant.

Here’s Carlo’s short email message for Lolo:
