Mandaue Business Month Press Conference
July 17, 2008
I mentioned in an earlier post that I got invited by Mr. Wilson Ng to attend the Mandaue Business Month press conference. The invitation was also open to other 15 bloggers but only a few responded because of some conflicts in schedule. Among those who attended the press conference are Aileen (http://sunchoke.net), Wil (http://misswilhelmina.com), Paul (http://cebudirectories.com), Nick (http://in-indie.org), Arnold (http://cebuheritage.com), and Rio (http://ngkhai.net/blog).

Present during the press conference are the people from the business sector, the media, and Hon. Gwen Garcia, the governor of the province of Cebu. The purpose of that press conference is to formally launch the upcoming 17th Visayas Business Area Business Conference and the Mandaue Business Month.

Barbeque at Larsian’s
May 27, 2008
The first week in Cebu City was very difficult on my part. I’m not used of eating carenderia food. While I was in Davao, I was spoiled with my Lola’s home-cooked meals and food from Davao’s best restaurants. I was not prepared in the sudden change of my lifestyle.

Among those things I miss about Davao are the numerous Inasal restaurants found in the downtown area. Mang Inasal, Penongs, and Banoks among others. Last night, we were able to come across Cebu’s barbeque haven. We didn’t realize that such place lies a few blocks away from our building.

I missed blogging

I’ve been away from my blog for a long time. Since I moved here in Cebu, I rarely find time for blogging. It’s difficult for me to balance work, studies and blogging. I was able to maintain my online presence though through plurk, twitter and my aggregate microblog.

For these past few weeks, I kept myself busy with work and studies. I am being pressured from work and studies. I had to stay in the coffee shop the whole afternoon to work on a client’s project which we started while I was still in Davao. It has been a very difficult time for me. I had difficulties in balancing my review and my work. I used a big portion of my study time for work. My review was compromised.

Despite this, I’m still glad I was able to finish the first phase of that project. My colleague also promised that he’ll give me a break from the project so I can concentrate on my review. In fact, the result of the last exam was not bad at all. I was able to get a high score in Communications (…I failed in Math), a lot better than what I expected. I realized I need to exert a lot of effort to catch up.

Aside from work and review, another thing which made me busy was Visayas Bloggers. A couple of weeks ago, we (Kuya Blogie and I) invited all the bloggers in Cebu City for an informal meeting. I can say that the meeting was a successful one. It was the first bloggers meeting conducted to organize the bloggers here in Cebu City. A lot of plans have been set for the blogging community here in Cebu City, one of which is the organization of the Visayas Bloggers Community, a counterpart of the successful Mindanao Bloggers, Inc.. So if you are a blogger from the Visayas Region, please join us in our mailing list.

In an hour, I will be attending the Governor’s press conference. Mr. Wilson Ng invited us to attend the press conference. According to Rio, the governor wants us bloggers to take part in the promotion of Cebu City’s tourism industry. Also, the Mandaue Chamber of Commerce is organizing a blogging contest which is in line with a business event next month. I will be posting the details of this contest later.

By the way, the WordCamp Online Registration is now up. Please register now because we have limited slots. Please click here to register.
