Usual Suspects Meet Up with the Google Country Consultant
Davao's Usual Suspects Kuya Andrew, Blogie, Dennis, Jun and I, once again had the privilege of being the Google Country Consultant's official Davao GROs. We met up with her last August 7 at the Casa Leticia for dinner at Sagay and chismis bonding. Marc wasn't around though. Later that night, when Jun and Dennis already left, we each opened our laptops, settled into our corners and had a YM conference with each other, joined by our young victims blogger friends Jez and Winston. Yesterday, Kuya Andrew, Blogie, Marc and I again met up with Ate Aileen (blame the kids for that) for lunch at Boyd's. After which, we went to Bruegger's at nearby Wheels n More Drive. It was a fun, fun, fun night and lunch with the guys and Aileen which didn't (for once) involve work. It did for Aileen though coz she had to finish some stuff, but not for the rest of us. Aileen is now back in Manila en route to somewhere else. Come back soon Ate Aileen!!! :D

And of course, she had a meet-up with us bloggers and some SEO people. Today, Aileen is back in the city to conduct more trainings with people from the academe. Welcom back Aileen!!! :)
