Welcome Karlo!!!

I would like to welcome Juan Karlo "Pinoy Blogero" Licudine!!! As the new co-blogger of Kuya Andrew's Darn Slick Blog, Karlo is now part of the Alleba Family. He is now among the ranks of Kim Castillo, Lysette Narshall, and RJ Palabasan. Of course, there's also Kuya Andrew (developer and one-man machine behind Alleba, Ratified, Blog Davao, and many others), me (links at my sidebar), and my cousins, Luan and Gwing. So Karlo, GALINGAN MO!!! Welcome!

Flattered

Kuya Andrew finally made an entry for the Filipina Writing Contest. His entry is a feature on his five favorite Filipina bloggers. And he included me... HUWOW! I know, I know... he's my cousin and I might have gotten into his list just coz of that. But I doubt it. ANYHOOT... I'm proud to be among some of the bloggers I really, really, really admire: the Aileen Apolo, the Shari Cruz aka Misteryosa, the Janette Toral of Digital Filipino, and the Noemi Dado. Among the five mentioned (I thought he was going to make an uber long list of Filipina bloggers), I'm the least popular / influential / controversial. Pero ok lang... I know... maabot ko rin ang aking pangarap na maging bahaging ng Pinoy blogging principalia. Kidding! Kuya Andrew is usually very kuripot with giving flattering comments and praises especially when it comes to my blogs. He usually mentions my blogs to me only to remind me how much work I have to do, and how much I have to improve, so it gives great pleasure in knowing, he appreciates Queen Ria's efforts. To quote Ate Aileen, WARM, FUZZY FEELING!!!
