Batang Yagit in PBA ‘08

Batang Yagit para sa PBA Bloggers’ Choice Award

September 16, 2008 | Filed under: Contests, Events

Ako po si Batang Yagit, isang blogger na taga-Mindanao (Davao City). Ako po ay natutuwa sa pagkakapasok ko bilang nominee sa Philippine Blog Awards Bloggers’ Choice Award. Ito ang pangalawang nomination ko para sa PBA 2008.

Noong nakaraang buwan, nakatanggap ako ng email galing sa mga organizers ng PBA na nagsasabing nanominate ang Digital Puto blog ko para sa Photo Blog na category. Mas higit kong ikinagalak nang malaman kong nakapasok ang Batang Yagit sa mga finalist para sa Bloggers’ Choice Award. Yayks. For the Win ang yagit.

Marami rin sa mga kakilala ko ang nakapasok sa nomination. Kung marami lang kaming mga yagit nag nagblo-blog, pakikiusapan ko ang lahat ng yagit sa world na iboto ang mga kakilala ko. Tsk tsk tsk. Pero dahil nag-iisa lang ako, ibibigay ko ang aking boto kay “Batang Yagit“.

“Wala pang yagit na nanalo ng award, sana ako ang una”.

Goodyear Autocare in Mandaue

September 13, 2008 | Filed under: Events

A week before I left for Manila for the WordCamp Philippines 2008 event, I received a call from Ms. Karla Tecson inviting me (and my blogging friends) to attend the launch of Goodyear’s Autocare center in Maguikay, Mandaue City. Because the event fell on a Thursday (August 28, 2008), only three of us (bloggers) responded to the invitation. Present were McBilly, X and me.

Wordcamp Philippines

September 6, 2008 | Filed under: Events

A lot of people were wondering what happened to my blog after becoming idle for a couple of months. I’ve been very busy with my studies in Cebu City that I was not able to find time for my blog. But that didn’t stop me from getting involved with blogging.

Last Thursday, I flew to Manila for the most awaited event, the WordCamp Philippines 2008. Five months ago, we started doing our preparations for the event in Davao and Manila. But I am very glad that the 8-hour event turned out successfully.

Hundreds of Wordpress users and developers attended Southeast Asia’s first WordCamp. The event was graced by the presence of the creator of Wordpress Matt Mullenweg.

The success of WordCamp Philippines 2008 won’t be possible without the collaboration of the members of the organizing team, the sponsors, the blogger and student volunteers.

Mandaue Business Month Press Conference

July 17, 2008 | Filed under: Events

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.

I missed blogging

July 16, 2008 | Filed under: Blog, Events

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 …

I want to meet bloggers from Cebu

June 16, 2008 | Filed under: Events

While I was still in Davao, I heard a lot of stories from bloggers coming from the Visayas region on how they envy Luzon and Mindanao, particularly Manila and Davao, when it comes to offline blogging activities.  It was also last month, during my first week in Cebu City, that I met Mark Monta and …

Barbeque at Larsian’s

May 27, 2008 | Filed under: Business

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.
