PabloPabla had just announced the winner for the contest and my entry of Black Bean Soup was voted as the winner!
Since the start of the voting exercise I was made aware by some techie friends that repeated voting can be done and they did just that which was why you guys suddenly see a soar of votes. I've alerted PabloPabla about this and pledged that since this is no fair play, IF I ever win this contest, I will donate the whole amount to an orphanage.
Anyway, PabloPabla did filtered out those multiple votes and somehow I still managed to garner enough votes to be on top. Thank you so much for all of you who have voted for my entry. I appreciated that a lot and I will honour my pledge.
Your votes have made a step forward in realising some children's dream to be housed in their own building...
Will update the details of the orphanage later as they are all at home.
Thank you once again and also many thanks to PabloPabla for his time and generousity in organising this contest.
Thanks for bringing cheers to many little children :D

ReplyDeletecongrats! at least i didnt vote in vain. it's good to see a rare thing i.e. a famous blogger actually doing something for charity instead of only using their position for self advancement.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Babe! And such generosity :)
ReplyDeletethanks all... i guess its more beneficial for the kids to have their own roof over their heads than me having a domain and host of my own ;-)
