Davaoeño Bloggers' First Get-Together

Last night, bloggers from all over Davao gathered at Netfront Coffee Shop and Internet Cafe for a occasion of fun and learning.

It was great! First time I heard about it from Raine, I was really excited. I thought it was really nice that bloggers from within the city meet and greet.

Not only was it a night of acquaintance, people from the more significant side of the blogoshpere also shared their knowledge on turning blogging into a much more relevant endeavor. Aileen Apolo, a representative from Google Philippines, was there to share about Google AdSense and AdWords. Blogging ethics was also shared by Yuga of yugatech. I learned a lot from that talk. I've been told once before that there's actually more to blogging than just expression of thoughts, mouthed or otherwise. Last night reinforced that info and I'm actually becoming motivated to explore the other arenas of blogging. There was also a presentation of DigitalFilipino Club by Janette Toral. She also spoke about iBlog 3. A blogging summit --- waaaahw!

There was also Davao Blog Awards wherein certain blogs were awarded under certain categories. The organizers hoped to have more awards like that the next time. And more serious ones, they said.

And speaking of the organizers --- congrats for a job well done! Blogie and all the others really initiated such a meaningful activity. And as far as I know, what you guys established was actually history! The first bloggers' get-together outside Manila. Wow. :-) Kudos!

Met a lot of fellow bloggers last night but I'm looking forward to meeting more at the next party. Can't wait to get to know more of the bloggers I only talk with in shoutboxes or comment arenas.

Anywayz...here are some of the pics. Got them from village idiot savant and Blogie.

Time Out

I looked at my watch earlier when I woke up and jumped in haste when I found out it was 8:30 am already! I got up, grabbed my towel, and just when I was at my room's doorstep, I stopped and realized --- wala nga palang pasok ngayon...hahaha!

It's my hometown's day to celebrate its foundation day - Araw ng Dabaw, as many calls it. But for me, it's not just that but also a chance to wake-up late and recompense the array of sleepless nights I've had for the week. Hehe! And so earlier, after realizing there was no need to rush, I jumped back to my bed and indulged in another 3 hours of uhm..snooze? So it seemed.

Now I'm up and finishing this documentation thingy for our project management so that later I could finally get to watch 300...waaaaah...I can't wait to watch na! i feel like I'm the only one who hasn't check it out yet(ngek!).

Gotta split.
Have an appointment with Microsoft Word. Hihi.
Ciao!
