After I humiliated myself at iBlog 4 by professing my eternal love fandom for MLQ3, he invited me and several other political bloggers for a night of tete-a-tete over heart-attack inducing food at Barrio Fiesta along Wilson Avenue in Greenhills.
So there I was sitting, a few feet from MLQ3 and all I could think about was how I was going to ask him to have a photo taken with me. Juned, Butch and Noemi Dado, Arbet Bernardo, Schumey, and Marck were present.
We had a discussion on politics (WHAT ELSE?!), the church, current issues such as the Meralco hoopla, GMA (everybody’s person), Martial Law, and federalism. I rarely spoke unless directly spoken too. I had a nosebleed I tell you! I felt so uninformed, and un-opinionated. 🙁 The things I spoke of were mostly about Davao City and Mindanao.
The dinner was very intimidating and inspiring at the same time. After it, I vowed to spend more time and effort with my political blog. And I shall not be easily frustrated with it. I hope.
Oh, and we did talk about blog and bloggers chismis. HULOLZ!
And after dinner, I did have my photo taken with MLQ3 c/o Fritz. But I accidentally deleted it. 🙁 Good thing Helga suggested Recuva. 🙂
I’m looking forward to more interesting dinners and conversations with political bloggers so that I might never forget why I started niche blogging in the first place.
hey, keep it nice!, you are doing a great job, since you don´t have to discuss so irrelevant affairs such as politics and stuff not needed to your normal life it doesn´t mean your word is not valuable as gold.
A Simple way of living doesn´t mean you are a boring person, it means you enjoy your life just the way it is, and there´s no need for complicated affairs to give the spark to your existence.
At least, that humiliation led to a dinner invitation. =P
Nice meeting you, and di ka nag-iisa that night. Remember, tahimik lang din ako he he.
you’re way too modest. it was a great night and i learned a lot.
@Kanyin – Thanks!
@Arbet – Hehe… You, me, and Marck were the quietest. 😀
@MLQ3 – Hehe… Sa uulitin. 🙂
