The lady standing in front of you is Ria Jose ang babaeng di mo pwedeng hawakan kasi baka di mo na bitawan from the Land of Durian and Waling-Waling, DAVAO CITEH! (The lady standing in front of you is Ria Jose girl you cannot hold because you might not let go of her from the Land of Durian and Waling-Waling, DAVAO CITEH!) I am totally stealing that line from Thank You Girls, a movie you must, must, must watch. It fun, funny, and light-hearted with some moments na nagmo-moment. The movie is full of LOL moments, especially the "question and answer portion" of the pageant. It's not just for the badets, it's for everybody. Plus, you get to pick up some very witty one-liners. :) Much love to Charliebebs Gohetia and the Davaoeño team that produced this fun film!!! So if you want to know the answer to this question: "If you are a teacher, how would you define the color violet to the visually-impaired?" watch the Thank You Girls, a Davao film, showing at the Robinsons Galleria IndieSine from September 24 to 30. Complete screening schedule available at THE Bakla's blog. Thank you girls! :D

My WordCamp Philippines 2008 Story
There used to be a time when Kuya Andrew would rant about how jealous he is of WordCamps elsewhere. And I would reply with a "WHAT'S A WORDCAMP?!" There was also a time I didn't what WordPress is, or that there were even WordPress.com blogs. And also a time when I didn't even know the difference between Matt Mullenweg and that other famous Matt internet person guy. To me, blogging was all about writing, researching, photos, linking... all the more geeky stuff, I went to Kuya Andrew to fix. Fast forward to 2007. Blogie became friends (sort of) with Matt M. for a Mindanao Bloggers Summit 2007 (MBS1) thing. Because of the friendship, and the huge success we had with MBS1, Blogie thought of the idea of organizing a WordCamp for Davao or Mindanao. Further inspired by our successful trip to Manila for iBlog 4, Blogie decided to rally the troops and convince me, Kuya Andrew, Migs, and Winston to make WordCamp Philippines happen. The pressure to move the venue to Metro Manila was surmounting and we just had to give in. Consultations with other bloggers via IM, Plurk, our blogs, and other means, helped us create, organize, and run…

Thank You Boys!
Just when I was starting to become jaded and pessimistic, the world, you guys, gave me a reason to smile.

Me at the Eraserheads Concert
photo by Markku I remember listening and singing to Toyang a dozen times a day when I was in Grade 5. In Grade 6, I memorized "Pare Ko" by heart, and even watched the movie based on the song. LULZ! My favorite Eraserheads songs were With a Smile, Huling El Bimbo, and Fruitcake. Huling El Bimbo became popular as me and my first year classmates in 1 - Pearl of PSHS-MC were about to part ways. Fruitcake, on the other hand, became popular during the Christmas season during my second year. I remember my classmates Rhoda and Kimberley giving me a Fruitcake cassette as a Christmas gift. I was a fan. Not a total fanatic, but I loved them nonetheless. When news about their reunion concert spread, I never expected that I would be able to watch it. It just so happened I am in Manila for work. But then I really didn't have the P800 for the tickets. But one day before the concert, Poyty sent me an SMS informing me that Red Horse through Juned and Markku was giving away tickets to bloggers. Eraserheads. Reunion. FOR FREE! How could I say no?! So there I was 4 pm…
WordCamp Shirts
There has been sooo much buzz about the WordCamp Philippines shirt design, that people are quite excited to get and wear theirs already. I have one as an organizer, plus I ordered two just coz. ADDICT! I finally saw the photos of the actual shirts (and not the rendered ones that Kuya Andrew the designer made), and I was satisfied. It's not as perfect as the rendered ones, but it's not bad at all. I love the colors and of course the design is great. :D Daming etchos noh, intro intro na chuva... I know you want to see the photos... I'm just teasing you. Eto na po... Organizers' shirt (ladies' fit) Red Campers' shirt (men's fit) Blue Campers' shirt (men's fit) I (We) will see and get to wear the shirts soon. :) Photos by the shirt printers.
