“When you get a groove going, time flies.”
– Donald Fagen

That quote couldn’t be truer than in my years as a pageant blogger. It took a message greeting from WordPress.com to remind me that I started normannorman.com twelve (12) years ago – July 9, 2009 to be exact. While I consciously avoided mixing my personal life into the same, a lot has happened since then. And I wouldn’t trade a thing. The ups outnumber the downs by a mile.

I have learned the art of handling bashers and unpleasant criticisms, and have mellowed me in the process. After all, positivity is bliss. I consider myself married to pageantry. It is one marriage that withstood the test of time (and pandemic), and where divorce is and will never be an option.

My biggest gratitude to all the readers who have come, stayed, left, returned and became loyal followers.

Cheers to 12 years of blogging! 🥂

PS. Pageantry Norms is my love child. 😊

  3. Congrats tito Norms! Wow, blogging almost half of a quarter century! Wishing you all the best and hopefully your blog will still be around when you reach silver(25th). Cheers and kudos!

  4. P.S.: We do love to some glimpses of your personal life once in a while. Please indulge us!

  5. Congrats Norm on your anniversary!!! I think my interest in pageantry was revived during Venus Raj’s Major Major answer that made headlines even in the US….

    I’ve been in and out of this blog as life dictates but the one good thing about your blog is the quality and consistency you continue to bring to the table.

    You shied away from more “chismis” type of blogging despite the mountain of information that you probably possess and yet kept the content leveled. You indeed established that credibility needed in a world that sometimes is mired with trolls, haters and bashers where it is so easy to just feed off of them to gain more followers.

    Cheers from the US.

  6. This has been my only daily go-to blog since 2010, the year of Venus Raj’s tumultous quest to the MU crown! From my adoptive African country as an expat since 2008, thank you for the entertaining feeds on pageantry that ease the tedium of a day’s back-breaking work! Your tenacity for objective and fair reporting, and your capacity for maintaining an even keel in te midst of controversies, and that remarkable moral compass, make you one formidable force in the development of Philippine pageantry. Thank for 12 years of tireless entertaining and educating your readers who span a marvelous spectra of professional background, educational attainment, geographical location, sexual orientation, political persuasion, ethnicity, religious beliefs, and age.

  7. Congrats to my idol!!!
