UAE dubai based popular newspaper the gulf news announced today that an UAE based blog “secret dubai diary” has won the ‘Bloggies’ blogs award which been held in Austin, TX. The “secret dubai blog” has won an award as the best blog in the reigon. The second award has gone for “Raising Yousef” from Palestine as the best blog in Africa and the Middle East.

The ironic thing is that the winner blog is already blocked by UAE Etisalat proxy service. Read here. This has reminded me of Alanis Morissette song “ironic” :

A traffic jam when you’re already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It’s like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It’s meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife
