Refine Me! February 3, 2007

Bad bad blogger people. Tina is not mentioned in the Blog Parteeh site. The post-event posts did not mention her.

So here I am, saying… stop reading my blog!

Read refineme.org instead!

After Parteeh January 28, 2007

Sorry I was in no partying mood. I had a headache and was dizzy. Those who know me from before probably noticed that I was less talkative and active than before. I had other things on schedules, so I didn’t come as early as the other hard-working committee members, and I didn’t join the post-parteeh revelry.

The highlights!

• Being part of Marcelle’s magic. No, I didn’t feel anything weird while he was bending the fork. (Hey I couldn’t find pics of the performance. Here’s a pic of Marcel, the fork and myself (Karla Redor).
• Meeting old friends from my PinoyExchange (PEx) days: Apples and superoverhyper Ganns.
• Finding out that Malou Mangahas (now with GMANews.TV) knows me. Meeting the veteran journalist crew. (See Abe’s third pic.)
• Meeting online friends in real life. Karla, my Pinoy Tech Blog-mate who I’ve missed meeting many times. Eugene Alvin, the mapping and Wikipedia master.
• Hanging out with people met through blogging. Sorsi. Cathy. Gail. Jayvee. Rico and Sasha. Noemi, Tina and the rest of the Committee who made this happen!
• Old friends (in Internet time): Marc.
• And a whole lot more other people! Hello and see you around!
• I almost forgot! Sorsi’s interview/sharing/testimonial on video with Bo Sanchez! Let’s watch that!
• I almost forgot again! Meeting luminaries like Normal, Sociable, Semi-Intelligent Twenty-Year Old Girl Who Happens To Be The First Blogger in the Philippines (Or So People Say) – her words, and Pinoy Web 2.0 Pioneer Luis Buenaventura (guttervomit.com? it’s down now) whom I should have talked tech with, if I were in a better frame of mind.

Congratulations to those who won stuff. Thanks for enjoying my personal contribution (since I have no blog network or blog-related company) to the parteeh. Thanks for the blog links!

Oh, and I had a scandal too.

Let’s Blog Parteeh! January 20, 2007

After missing a whole lot of blogging events, I’m making good on my plan to be more active in the local blogging scene. Join me at the blogparteeh!
