Answer. Brother Utoy. See it here.
9. What is the significance of February 11, 2009?
Answer. I had an accident. I was hit by a passenger multicab.
10. Name the only blogger in the blog roll (aside from personal friends) that Coolwaterworks has personally met.
Answer. Now this is going to be bloody.
My silent readers (those who email their comments and thoughts, you know who you are) has bullied me for the answer. And most of them say it is Howie Severino of GMA7. Yes, I met him even before I transferred to WP. That meeting was purely accidental. And we met in his capacity not as a blogger but as a topnotch journalist. And trust me, he does not know me at all even if we met. Haha!
When netizens decide to meet, we call it EB. So my meeting with this blogger was formal and planned. In one of the clues I have given, I said it was “implied” here that we met. All meetings start with an invitation. And here it is… The answer to this question is Beero of Beero’s Intoxicating Misadventures.
All the answers of the participants above through their comments have been disclosed in the anniversary page. You may want to check who has gotten the most number of correct answers.
Winners will be published after July 25, 2009 after the closure of the comment counts.
Thanks and goodluck to all…
