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 :)
