Philippine Blogcon 2006
Posted (Marc) in Defining Moments on September-27-2006

I had to rush from Eastwood to Greenbelt for the 1st ever Philippine Blogcon last Monday. Driving from QC to Makati at 6 PM on a rainy Monday afternoon is not pleasant! :) James, Jenny and Sorsi (see her Friendster blog hehe) from Globe Innove were the best hosts! Sorsi will be the next Xiaxue! :)

I thought the raffle after our presentations was the real highlight of the night (Jayvee, Abe and Noemi and I had a few minutes to share some blogging info/tips). Everyone was up and moving after that.

Now, let the mutual admiration club session begin:

  • Marhgil has some Blogger template optimization tweaks here and here.
  • Daragang Magaon thinks I am cute pati na rin si Retz :) more link love for you two!
  • Nice to see Clair and Charo (evil twin sisters!). Also saw Annalyn, Mike ‘MT’ Abundo, Ka Edong, Gail, Markku (atay! Bisaya man diay ka dong!) and Angelo.
  • Many thanks for the kind reviews: Solomon’s Kiosk, Janep, Chris, Kiven and Sonnie.
  • Nice meeting Rico, Bimbo (walang game 3!!!) and Sir Jun
  • Would love to meet: The Parody (were you the one smoking outside?), Baratillo and the others.
  • To bad some of the heavyweights like BryanBoy, SassyLawyer and Rickey couldn’t make it.
  • One of the more honest comments I got was from Jeff. My palusot: I wanted to breeze through the entire session to have that “5-minute” flavor so I had to fly through some of the slides. I assumed most bloggers had a general understanding already and would not like the “preaching” tone. Instead they would rather have the links upfront so that they can do research at their own pace. Hope to get it right the next time around.

Who did I miss? Lemme know :)

Nice meeting the SEO Guru. I wanted to go to the Isulong SEOPH gig but I had a prior sked.

Until next time.

Marc on September 27th, 2006 at 4:57 PM #

Dude! Manila Tonight! :P where’s my all access pass! jk

Rickey on September 27th, 2006 at 5:17 PM #

Marc on September 27th, 2006 at 5:28 PM #

Penge link Rickey hehe :)

kukote on September 27th, 2006 at 5:28 PM #

Gail on September 27th, 2006 at 6:08 PM #

atenista rin pala si sorsi? kaya pala familiar face nya eh.

uy marc anong batch ka ng comtech? kapanahunan mo ba yung “reign” ni sir anjo? :D

Marc on September 27th, 2006 at 6:17 PM #

Kasama ako sa first Comtech batch (1999), but I had to stay for 1 more year. Si Ms. Pastor yung queen namin non..si Anjo yata yung pumalit na queen after nya :)

Kaya mong gumawa ng ‘Blue Blog’ button? tapos ikalat natin sa ibang Atenista blogs :)

Rico on September 27th, 2006 at 6:25 PM #

Yan ha, gina ko ung CUTE na a href ha! hehe

Marc on September 27th, 2006 at 6:32 PM #

haha Thanks Rico! May magic SEO effect yan sa blog mo, you’ll see :)

Max Limpag on September 27th, 2006 at 7:35 PM #

Marc,
Buanga, karon ra ko kahibaw da after reading your parenthetical aside on Markku. Only a true-blue bisdak says atay. :-)

Marc on September 27th, 2006 at 7:54 PM #

Max, di man jud mo mutuo na bisdak ko da :P unya mugawas na ning giahak to go with the giatay hehe :)

Noemi on September 27th, 2006 at 9:38 PM #

It’s hard to be too preachy on a social event di ba? I think you gave very useful tips in that limited 5 minute talk. there will be other venues for this kind of topic. I hope you keep me informed. Thanks for sharing your cute tip :) I knew that of course :P

Sorsi on September 27th, 2006 at 10:52 PM #

Hey Marc, thanks for my new site!=) And thanks to your blog, when i google “Sorsi Philippines”, there are now more entries pertaining to me…instead of the usual Sacro Occipital Resource Society International (they got sorsi.com first! grrr! i guess aligning the spine is more important than my dear diary entries)

Hope my new site will be as fab as xiaoxie’s site soon=P work it kyan douglas!=)

Charo Nuguid on September 28th, 2006 at 1:11 AM #

“Evil Twin Sisters”?

Oh you got it all wrong. Clair isn’t evil.

As for me? Clair considers me MALEVOLENT, not evil. >:)

Rico on September 28th, 2006 at 2:11 AM #

Haha, what SEO effect? All I see happening is you getting Google-bombed for the word “cute,” if enough people pitch in. Which isn’t a bad thing at all.

So, if you’ll allow me a shout-out Marc, everyone link to this blog with the word CUTE! Now!

markku on September 28th, 2006 at 2:18 AM #

Kadaghan gud diay natong bisdak nga ga-blog… hehehe. Max, ni-attend ka last Monday? Wala ko kita nimo, ari nya next time. =)

Sasha Manuel on September 28th, 2006 at 2:19 AM #

Me? Smoking? I don’t smoke kaya. =P Kidding. Yes, I think twas me [granted that you were referring to that one time I went out for a smoke]. Be glad to get the opportunity to meet you, too. Can you imagine how a 5-minute conversation will go? Hahaha.

P.S. You can call me Sasha. I’m The Parodist. :)

Migs on September 28th, 2006 at 2:56 AM #

Man, I missed a lot again…

Marc on September 28th, 2006 at 7:03 AM #

Noemi, if they give me 30 minutes the next time around, I’ll have a few more tips to share and a few more minutes to expound (wow rhyme!)

Sorsi, if I’m Kyan Douglas, then si Abe si Carson Kressley :) start playing around with the WP interface.

Charo, nice to see you again :) lemme know when you do get the new cam ayt?

Rico, yung SEO effect will be felt after 3 months of continuous CUTE Google bombing hehe now what I really like to rank for is [marc].

Markku, taga asa diay ka bay? Wa nay tagalog tagalog next time around ah! :)

Sasha, I think you were sitting alone, Marlboro Lights right? The Parodist…. parang superhero dating :P

Migs, kasi kasi…

Sasha Manuel on September 28th, 2006 at 8:41 AM #

LOL. You had to resort to details no? Tama nga! Darnit. Kala ko di pansin na I was “eavesdropping”. Pffft. And yes, I’m G Girl’s arch-nemesis. =P

clair on September 28th, 2006 at 9:10 AM #

Evil twin sisters? Uh, Charo’s not my sister :p And she is not evil. She is indeed MALEVOLENT…

Scary lady sometimes… O_o;

Oh well, at least I missed Milenyo.

See you all at the next ‘con and greetings from Düsseldorf!

C. on September 28th, 2006 at 8:19 PM #

Hey guys, i’m new to this blog and i didn’t participate in this competition, cause i knew about it too late! Therefore my question; will there be another SEOPH competition? And if yes, when will it take place? Thanks.

noel on September 29th, 2006 at 3:34 PM #

asan ka ba migs? From the looks of it mukhang Germany. Ayus. Abutan ka dyan ng Octoberfest.

Migs on September 29th, 2006 at 5:25 PM #

Ja, Deutschland. Nein, München is just too far. And uuwi na ako sa Lunes. Too late for the SEO awards! But at least I skipped Milenyo.

Max Limpag on September 29th, 2006 at 5:56 PM #

Charo Nuguid on September 30th, 2006 at 2:53 AM #

Well, you wanted to be pinged when I get my camera.

Now all I need is a male model so I can go back to shooting nudes…

HI, MARC!!!! :D

Migs on October 2nd, 2006 at 6:46 AM #

You want Marc for your nude model… ?!

Marc on October 3rd, 2006 at 12:16 PM #

Migs, ain’t that the shocking truth! hahaha :)

Connie on October 6th, 2006 at 11:09 AM #

Sorry, Marc, it’s been a hell of a week.
