At least I had a blast, but it was inspiring and an evening of learning: personally and blogging-wise.
My flight was so turbulent because I practically came home to a typhoon and I was so dizzy I went straight home instead of dropping by my favorite net cafe and publish my blog quota for the day.
Though the internet connection is shitty slow while it is pouring like hell outside, I already saw that I earned link loves already.
It was really great finally meeting Jayvee (my brother at b5media and Know More Media), Rico (yung nawawala kong younger brother!), Abe (Lord of Philippine blogs, he he!), Noel (b5media, Creative Weblogging and Know More Media co-blogger, imagine that?!) and of course Sasha (b5media sister and my new San Mig Dry buddy!) and talking to Alan, Jun (the magandang balita guy!) and the guy who flew from Dumaguete (sorry I forgot your name, peace!!).
Anyways who would not have noticed Bimbo and Kiven: the lifes of the party so to speak and that Marc Macalua is cute?!
Thanks to Glove Innove for making the event possible, bloggers around are looking forward to more BlogCons. After publishing this entry, I’m going ahead to write that email to your costumer service. I hope that the coveted Speak n’ Surf service is available in my area.
It was really a great night of bloggers talking about their own little world of blogs, of ads and monetization, of problogging and digital photography. I was (and still am) amazed by these people who have found the liberty early in their lives to do the stuff they’re not only good at (if not best) but also truly love.
Most especially I want to thank once more the following people: Abe, Jayvee, Rico, Sasha and Elbert for being so sweet in staying up late just to keep me company. (Ang ganda ng SM Mall of Asia kahit gabi at sarado na!)
Cheers for more BlogCons!!!

Hi Gloria,
Yuppers, hindi ganun kadali i manage ang blog ni Mega, lalo na ang guest book….ahaaay!
Sharonian tayo lahat, Sharon’s been a good family friend from way way back.

Hey, Gloria! I’m so glad to be one of the people who were able to make your trip to Manila a good one.
YES. Sasama ako kay Bimbo [Bimbo! Sama mo ako puh-leeez?!] para makapunta ako sa Bicol ulit [at maka-libre ng beer]! Heehee. But I’ll bring a car, though. I know I won’t even dare ride a motorized bike. Hahaha. I’m so glad I got to meet you!

Hi Gloria…we met briefly. You were surrounded with too many blogger fans, it was hard to really sit down with you. Maybe next time. I would definitely go to Bicol as it’s my husband’s family province. Ingat diyan . The typhoon will hit us today.
September 28th, 2006 at 4:39 pm
Ako magulo?! Nahawa lang po ako sau, kooya!
