I was in Cebu months ago but I was mostly confined to the hotel. Hence, the boring photo of me in the business attire. But I'm going back there next weekend and I am very, very, very much excited. Aside from the promise of good food and great company, I will be attending the Cebu Blog Camp 2010. The theme of the event is "Blogging, Expressions, and Opportunities." And not just that, I will be a speaker, too. My good friend, Winston Almendras is one of the organizers of the event and he has invited me to be part of the program. I will be talking about "Blogging in the Community, for the Community" with emphasis on the "essence of utilizing blogging for community building." Interesting. I will be speaking in behalf of and based on my experiences and insights with Davao Bloggers, Avatar Media, and as a Diyosa Blogger. LOL with me people! I expect to have a nerve-wracking but insightful good time as a speaker. I hope to impart my insights and gain inputs from the participants as well. Other speakers of the events are Mica Rodriguez, Aileen Apolo - de Jesus, Evanjohnn Mendoza, Janette Toral, Juned Sunido,…

My PBA 2008 Thank You Speech
Last year, I was nominated for several categories, but wasn't even a finalist in any. I told myself, I'd be a finalist this year. And quickly forgot about that goal. But lo and behold, this year, three of my blogs were finalists for various categories. One blog which I am part owner of was also a finalist, and was, in fact, up against my other blog. Six of my posts were also finalists. I submitted entries for two sponsor awards. That give me around 12 chances to win. But I didn't win. NADA! Nonetheless, I would like to thank the following people: my cousins Kuya Andrew who helped me get started in blogging, and who continues to help me with the technical stuff, and Gwing who has taken over one of my blogs; Ate Aileen who inspires me to be a better blogger and person; Tita Janette who gave me the chance to be an iBlog speaker; MLQ3 and the Filipino Voices bloggers who inspire me to be a more responsible and conscientious political blogger Avatar Media colleagues Migs, Winston, and Blogie; all my blog readers, friends, mga ka-link exchange, fans, followers, flamers, and HATERS who give me a good…
Filipina Bloggers
I heard a certain non-blogger stereotyped girl bloggers are the nerdy types who do nothing but spend time in front of their monitors and keyboards. GRAWRRR!!! Let me tell you this... your statement smacks of ignorance and says more about you than Filipina bloggers in general. Maybe you haven't met these bloggers (or your are too dumb to even know what a blog is): Ate Aileen, Google Country Consultant who is into food, travel, and the paranormal Kringy, a talented television director, who is into Asian films, she also one hell of a hot funny girl who will probably crush your untalented ass into bits; Poyt, a special education teacher and a part-time photographer; her boobies will put your little raisins to shame Phoebe, a chef in-training who is also into fashion Kim, a vegetarian radio DJ, and film addict Gwing, shopping addict, badminton player, campus crush ng bayan, and mean girl who will make you sorry you ever said those things Mica, Belo Medical Group ambassadress Karla, a photographer, music enthusiast, and food lover Tita Jane, a yogini, Blue Eagles fan, and hot bogging mama And there's more where they came from, so shut your pie hole b*tch! You…
