Bloggers Goes to IBlog, The 8th Philippine Blogging Summit

I attended the IBlog 8th Philippine Blogging Summit last saturday and it was the 2nd day of the event, but that was the only available time i have together with my team mates. 


It was held last  May 25 and 26, 2012 at the Malcolm Theater, UP College of Law, UP Diliman, Quezon City from 8 am to 5 pm.


It was my first time to attend a blogging event, although i have been blogging for a long time and im glad i finally got the chance to do so. And in my opinion it was a huge success. From listening and learning from the Speakers, the event got more interesting when other bloggers started sharing their ideas and started asking questions. Speakers have shared so much of their ideas, that i have learned  a lot from them, just like the saying goes, get what you can use and set aside what you cant ( or something like that,lols). And on this event, every words is useful and you can apply and make use of it......you just have to know how and when to use it effectively,


There was some serious part on the talks and there was the humor side of it. And to lighten things up the guy from, For The Not-Naturally-Funny, Marcelle Fabie  made everybody laughing with his jokes, very good humor and interesting one and take note the good look was just a plus,hehe. I remember him saying "Walang Basagan Ng Trip." Ooops yes i think it was him that said that,lols!


The bloggers that attended the event was from all over the Philippines, exchanging ideas is always great and we all know that not everybody would share what they know, but this time they all did, they are there to learn and share their ideas from within at the same time. 


The Event was about different techniques about Blogging, SEO and Social Media Marketing and more. List and schedules below.


Day 1 & 2 Emcees / Co-Host are: Flow Galindez and Rod Magaru. The food was sponsored by McDonald and they provided us snacks and lunch, which is one of the most awaited, i think....hehe!


There was no boring moments there, all the talks are good and every minute counts, although maybe because i work on night shift that i get sleepy from time to time, but i manage to stay awake because they also provided the coffee from Kopiko, yummy and you dont want to missed a thing.


I saw some familiar faces but did not really get the chance to talk to them, things over there are kinda busy, although ofcourse there were lots of picture taking, which i love so much, ( i mean taking picture of them and not of me,hehe).


And one of the most awaited part of the event was the raffle draw, everybody was excited to get any of the prices but i think most would like to have that very nice souvenir tshirt from iblog. Just sad, we did not get any...but there still next time and the pictures and learning experience was really worth it and looking forward to the next one, i hope it falls on our free day too.


See you all there next time!

Mom, Happy Happy Mother's Day...I LOVE YOU!

Happy Mother's Day Mom, Ma, Nanay, Mama, Inda, Mommy, Mamita, Inang, whatever endearment we call our Mothers, we know we meant and call them with LOVE.


They are the most caring person anyone can have. Most Loving, Most Special and Dear to our Hearts. Words are not enough to described how we feel for them and how much they mean to us. Life will not be the same without having them. We can have friends who will listen, and will be there for us but no one can be as caring, understanding, loving and true like our Mother.


There maybe times that we may argue with them, have misunderstanding but at the end of the day, we still run to them for comfort and hear some good and inspiring words, they encourage us to be a better person, strengthen us on our weakest and what is more amazing they love us just the way we are. They may not be perfect, just like we can not all be perfect but we will always feel the love that they have for us.  


The love of a mother may come in different ways, show in different act but nothing compares to the LOVE they have for their children.


Mother's Love is Unconditional!


A good read that i would like to share to everyone ( some maybe have read this already), very touching and very inspiring...it did touch my heart and i  hope it could touch yours too.


A Mother's Message to her Daughter: 


"My dear girl, the day you see I’m getting old, I ask you to please be patient, but most of all, try to understand what I’m going through. If when we talk, I repeat the same thing a thousand times, don’t interrupt to say: “You said the same thing a minute ago”... Just listen, please. Try to remember the times when you were little and I would read the same story night after night until you would fall asleep. When I don’t want to take a bath, don’t be mad and don’t embarrass me. Remember when I had to run after you making excuses and trying to get you to take a shower when you were just a girl? When you see how ignorant I am when it comes to new technology, give me the time to learn and don’t look at me that way... remember, honey, I patiently taught you how to do many things like eating appropriately, getting dressed, combing your hair and dealing with life’s issues every day... the day you see I’m getting old, I ask you to please be patient, but most of all, try to understand what I’m going through. If I occasionally lose track of what we’re talking about, give me the time to remember, and if I can’t, don’t be nervous, impatient or arrogant. Just know in your heart that the most important thing for me is to be with you. And when my old, tired legs don’t let me move as quickly as before, give me your hand the same way that I offered mine to you when you first walked. When those days come, don’t feel sad... just be with me, and understand me while I get to the end of my life with love. I’ll cherish and thank you for the gift of time and joy we shared. With a big smile and the huge love I’ve always had for you, I just want to say, I love you... my darling daughter. "


Happy Mother's Day to All Mother Out There!
