Me being really cheesy and speechy in front of everyone. Affected lang talaga. Hahaha. And thank you committee for choosing that shot of me. Yay. It's one of my favorites.

Thank you so much for the honor Best Cebu Blogs :)


Thank you to the Best Cebu Blogs board of judges and committee for naming Chic in the Tropics as the winner for the Best Cebu Blog under the Fashion and Lifestyle Category. I didn't really expect my name to be called and just wanted to act like I was calm and collected or whatever but in the end I still got choked up and became speechy. Composure out the door in a second! It was very, very overwhelming and it still is until now, I have to admit. 

Some of you guys may know that my journey through blogging hasn't always been the easiest. Looking back at my 2++ years online, I endured the perils of being one of the first personal style bloggers here in Cebu (a.k.a zero support), judgments thrown by people who had absolutely no idea of the person that I really am, and  me going through the very rough phases of my lovelife, career, and every little thing I had to juggle to get here. Sometimes it STILL is laborious to even sit down and think about blogging, but my relationship with my fellow bloggers, down to even the most silent of readers who visit without comments--these are the relationships I simply just cannot do without. Ultimately, despite everything-- it was and it still is worth it.

More than just an achievement for me and my humble blog, I dedicate this my fellow Cebuano fashion bloggers, as well as every new fashion blogger out there who starts out afraid, not knowing what to expect, and still be brave enough to take on the journey anyway.  I'm not saying its that hard or that easy, but you just don't know what to expect. Just keep trusting your guts, and most importantly-stay true to who you are- and who knows where your blogging adventures might take you.

Thank you once again, BCB for the support xx

    Congratulations to you eden! You are really an inspiration especially to the newbies like me. Everyone in my life right now doesn't understand what I'm doing and why I'm doing it but one thing I know for sure is that blogging makes me happy and I am inspired everyday to venture into new things because of this.

    Anyway, when I get to come to Cebu,I wish I could meet all you bloggers there..Or maybe, you could come here in CDO and I could tour you.haha

    CONGRATS Fedwilyn! Teehee. Srsly, you're one of the people I look up to in lifestyle blogging. I've been blogging for a very long time but this blog I have now is something different (new phase, new blog 'ika nga. CHAROT!). And I needed "direction" and sense of feistiness and confidence (kung si Tyra pa, personality!), which I found in your blog and Gizelle's. So, aside from the ~stylishness~, it's your "who-ness" that elevated you from the rest. Congrats again, Eden!
