Pinay web designer ChiQ Montes is making waves in the blogosphere as a Wordpress Theme Designer. And she’s turning out to be a great person as well. I’m sure those who understand Hiligaynon can empathize with me when I was not included on the list of winners on the Premium Theme contest. Those who understand Hiligaynon will know that the post was about how a series of misfortune aggravated by SmartBro and Globe 3G made things difficult for me in submitting my entry to the contest.

I left a comment over at her blog that I was surprised why I was not even on the list of those who participated but that I enjoyed the contest and I’m looking forward in joining future contests. I did not request for special consideration nor did I blame her for not having won. I didn’t expect her to email me this morning informing me that she must have missed my entry. I understand very well, she has a lot of entries to consider. In return, she offered me to choose the premium theme I want from the list of prizes and she will personally sponsor it. Wow! How cool is that? Now that is what I call customer service. I am not a paying customer at that but she went out of her way to delight me.

Aren’t you curious of what she gave me? Here it is . . . drumrolls please. . . Tada!

Revolution Pro Media theme by Brian Gardner! This theme is just perfect for a blog that I was thinking of launching (baw launching kuno), which I have already bought the domain but couldn’t find the time to start. This is just the push that I needed.

In exchange for her graciousness, I’m keeping her ad on this blog’s sidebar and on my other blog’s sidebar. I have also voted for her Mag On Wood theme over at Lunartics, which I hope you would also vote for. Come on, help a fellow Filipino. It will not even take much of your time. And she’s good so your vote will be worth it. Hats off to you ChiQ Montes!

it’s not out of pity at all (don’t worry)

i did saw your entries.. heck, it took me 5 hours to go through all of them.. but for some weird reason.. i missed your points! and you had the guts to question me about it.. lol. so i really think you deserve a theme, somehow.
