		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;But it&#226;&#8364;&#8482;s just a beauty contest among the warthogs&#226;&#8364;&#166;which is being run for the benefit of the organizer&#226;&#8364;&#8482;s blogs&#226;&#8364;&#166;it&#226;&#8364;&#8482;s an extension of the Filipinos&#226;&#8364;&#8482; love of such &#226;&#8364;&#339;beauty contests&#226;&#8364; whose origins are in the religious festivals like Flores de Mayo (for the prettiest girls picked by the Damasos and Sibylas)&#226;&#8364;&#166;I guess even atheists are sickened with human vanity&#226;&#8364;&#166;&lt;/blockquote&gt; 
 
Though there is some substance to your claims, your premise is true for just about every award-giving body there is. Atheists are not exactly austere nihilists. We are as vulnerable to vanity just like every other person - and that&#039;s not a bad thing. 
 
At the end of the day, events like this makes people pool together and feel like they&#039;re part of a community. When that happens, everybody wins. But that&#039;s just me. 
 
Have a nice day. </description>

		<description>wow. daming readers ha! *drools*. 
 
anyway, frankly speaking - asa pa ko sa awards na yan. but if ever man teenagers lang ang labanan, baka may chance pa. hehehe! [yabang meter overflowing].  
 
oops. nakakahiya namang magtagalog sa comment section mo. haha.

70   blogs nominated for Personal! Oh c&#039;mon. May oras pa ba yung mga judges na sukatin ang bawat anggulo ng isang blog? Eh isang category pa lang yan! 
 
But well, that&#039;s a big challenge for the judges themselves.
