Small but Big Recognition from Google
Yes, I kinda suck in English with “Small but Big”, but I still think it’s correct.
Small, as in me. A small person like me. Small size. Small whatever.
Big, as in Google. Big company, global brand, and a recognition from Google is definitely big big. 🙂
I have been very excited these few days tracking my package from Google via FedEx. The waiting got even more intense as I got to know that Nazroll and Hoatle has got theirs in the morning while I’m still waiting.
Well, the wait was finally over when I got them in the afternoon.
Having something like this automatically earned some bragging rights, so do forgive me if you’re thinking this is a show-off post.
Not everyday I get something from Mountain View or Google to be exact. The first one was just a simple letter for verification of my Adsense account when I first started this blog. Then this one is the most fabulous prize ever. It’s the prize for winning South East Asia OpenSocial Application Contest.
This package flew all the way from Google, Mountain View, US. Sent on 21 April and arrived by 27 April, guaranteed by FedEx.
And this is the recognition which I think is super big from Google. A certificate! Although not a certification or certified for something, should I be proud of having recognized for submitting a winning application to Google’s contest?
Then there’s this t-shirt with a QR code in front which I think represents http://code.google.com.
Other than the above, there’s also a stack of AMEX gift cheques. How much? If compared to the rate of ad clicks through my Adsense income with this blog, I guess I could stop blogging for 10 or 20 years if I’m using this blog to make money. That’s because I’m making so little with Adsense. 😛
Anyway, a super big THANKS to Google and also Shannon Madison who went so far in organizing the contest and delivering the prizes! 🙂
