Ipanema echo-chic Gisele Bündchen Seeds Collection
“I went to Ipanema last February 19”.
Nah, I’m not talking about the beautiful place in Brazil. I’m talking about the launch of Ipanema echo-chic Gisele Bündchen Seeds Collection at Le Souffle, The Fort. Several bloggers were invited in the elegant event.
The Philippine Ballet Theater gave a long yet wonderful performance with them modeling the newest Ipanema flipflops.
My Clear Sexy Black Halloween Party for Bloggers Experience
After visiting my dad at Manila Memorial Park and joined my cousins for a little Trick or Treat dinner in Paranaque, my grandparents drove me to SM Mall of Asia to attend the Clear Black Night Halloween Dance Party for Bloggers at Taste Asia.
I arrived at the venue at around 9pm. I saw a lot of bloggers and models wearing masks and black clothes. Thank God I found my blog pals despite the fact that its very crowded and yeah, “dark” 
Then I saw more familiar faces: Ate Aileen, Jaydj, Billycoy, Fritz, Jester, Marcelle, Doc Tess, Kring, Poyt, Kevin, Ian , Jhed, LA, Carlo, Sarah, Juned, Eric, Karla, Eugene, Azrael, Edward, Lace, Sire, Fitz, Youngmaze, Chris, Lad, Jane and more. Seeing Cai again in a big blog event made me even happier. Then the youngsters Jehzlau, Winston, Jeric, Ada, Sabrina, Carl, Jonel, Tiffy, Ed etc. made the night more special.
I saw a lot of beautiful and handsome models that night. They’re all tall and fabulous. Not only that, the Ms. Earth 2008 candidates went to the event as well for photo ops and to meet the bloggers. Whatta sexy night indeed!
The 2nd Digital Filipino Web Awards – We Won!
More than a week after the Digital Filipino Club and Bloggers Manila Networking Night , Ms. Janette Toral once again organized an event where e-commerce websites were recognized.
The 2nd Digital Filipino Web Awards was held yesterday, November 5, 2008 at Taste Asia, Mall of Asia. I went there with my officemates Rona Ayeras, Emmerson Barrion and Yza Urgel. We went there early and enjoyed the food hehe 
Then representatives from different companies and bloggers started coming in. Bitstop and Cashsense were the main sponsors of the event.
I was able to attend the two-day workshop on Website Evaluation and learned a lot from it (will post an entry about it soon). I am really happy to be a part of a great project 
The news that made me happy is that The Belo Medical Group Blog won in the Corporate Blog Category. It was explained by Miss Janette that though the blog is just a month old, we were able to update the blog with news that are connected with the services, procedures, tv appearances and promos related to Belo. I would also like to take this opportunity to the bloggers who helped us promote the corporate blog and our newly-revamped website.
Digital Filipino Club and Filipino Bloggers Manila Networking Event
Straight from work, I headed to Starbucks 6750 to meet up with the Digital Filipino members and the rest of the bloggers who signed up for the event. I saw Miss Janette Toral (who looks oh-so-pretty), Ederic (who plans to get a Belo treatment soon), Ed (who can’t blog in his main blog and blames his webhost), Billycoy (who wore a red shirt and green shoes) and the rest. After a few minutes, the shuttle service bus of PAGCOR arrived.
While on the bus, I watched the episode of Wish Ko Lang featuring a highschool student who received a mountain bike, two young stunt kids and their mentors receiving new things for their gym and the death of Nasty Mac, the guest rapper in Salbakutah’s S2pid luv. My realizations? 1.) I don’t know how to drive a bike without the support thing 2.) When I was a little kid, I wanted to be a part of the Power Rangers and 3.) Memorize ko pa rin yung Stupid Love LOL.
ANYWAY….
After 40 minutes, we finally arrived in PAGCOR. Green light were all over the place and it was pretty obvious that everyone is excited as i do. Much to my dismay, they didn’t allow us to bring our cameras with us huhu.
When we managed to get our own table and sit on the seats (hindi sa floor hehe), I met Kuya Gary Viray, who is my kababayan. He is working for PAGCOR and he is also doing some SEO stuff. He may not be proud of his blog, but I’m proud of my blog! wahaha (ok wala na ako masabi haha).
Then I saw Ada, who currently needs for your vote for the Clear Video contest (vote for her!), Tita Dine, my cyber mom and mentor, Marcelle, who invited everyone to watch the MAGIKEL show this November with Giselle Sanches, AJ, the hottest gay blogger in the Philippines, Azrael, who managed to do some livestreaming in the event, Annalyn Jusay, who is pretty in green last night, Carl, who took lotsa pics and gave me two passes for the RTW show of the Philippine Fashion Week (yebbah!), Maki, my friend who drove from north to south (wut?! LOL), and more and more guests came in.
We ate dinner, introduced ourselves and our blogs, played games and toured around PAGCOR.
During the “introduce – yourself – and – your – blog – part”, I promoted my blog and revealed that the Belo Medical Group has a corporate blog up and that we have ongoing promos for the holiday season.

The 2nd Philippine Blog Awards 2008
Do you remember the 21st night of September? *Insert dancing banana icon here 100x*
After months of waiting, The 2nd Philippine Blog Awards finally pushed through on the 21st night of September, 2008 at OneEsplanade.
I remember arriving on the venue at around 4:45pm. I saw a lot of familiar bloggers waiting outside and all the sponsors were busy setting up their respective booths. The organizers and volunteers were tired since most of them were already fixing the venue at 9am, but you can really see the passion and drive to make this awards night extra special.
