DigitalFilipino Club in Cebu city

October 24, 2008 27 comments Events, Meetings


That’s me and Janette Toral of DigitalFilipino. We are looking on two different directions because a number of commissioned paparazzo wanted their shots. We just gave in, man. Haha And I remember her joking about mine and Clarence’ unshaved lower facial hair saying ang sipag.

I and the rest of the Cebu Bloggers Society were once again treated with food, entertainment, giveaways and all that jazz. We had a blast! is an understatement for the recent events that CBS participated in. About a couple of days ago, we were partying hard, sweaty and all at the VIP area for the Samsung Fun Club Day at SM city Cebu. Last night, we were taking it slow at the Waterfront Hotel and Casino for the DigitalFilipino Club Networking Fellowship here in Cebu city sponsored by PAGCOR. The event was short but sweet that if it was a candy cane you’d be licking on to your fingers until the sweet glands on your tongue says your overdoing it, man. (Continued…)

 

Samsung Fun Club Day in Cebu city

October 18, 2008 19 comments Events, Meetings


Ah, the benefits of blogging! :D

The potentially growing force of Cebu Bloggers met up in two days straight. We were at Figaro last Thursday afternoon to discuss, pay and finalize our “Blogger ko, bai!” shirt which we’ll be donning on the Digital Filipino event on the 23rd at the Waterfront Hotel and Casino in. Check out the final design on this link.

The second meetup, which was last night, was the afterparty of Samsung’s Fun Club Day in Cebu city which was held at the V-Hire terminal of SM City Cebu where the ever rocking and goofy bunch of Parokya ni Edgar once again treated Cebuanos with not only their brand of songs but with beer and vodka as well. Chito and Vinci cheered the crowd by giving almost everyone willing, and old enough to drink (Continued…)

Snatched these during the presscon.

The second meetup, my first, of the Visayas Bloggers was during the Mandaue Business Month 2008 Press Conference at Cebu City Sports last July 15, 2008. The short yet alive presscon was attended by prominent politicians and entrepreneurs of Cebu. The event presented to the media the plans for the celebration of the 17th Visayas Area Business Conference which will be hosted by the city of Mandaue. You may visit the official website of Mandaue Chamber for more updates and information on the online contests that are open to anyone by clicking here.

I never thought Gwen Garcia was such a witty woman. Funny at times and succinct enough when delivering her message. Cebu must be pretty proud to have her. Mandaue city’s Mayor Cortes must have come from the same school of thought as my teacher in IT21, the class that changed my life forever, when he gave the story of the two employees to ponder upon. Ng Khai’s Wilson Ng’s secret to success is definitely lots of smiles – the guy was so full of that during the event. Thanks for inviting us! (Continued…)

 

Gwen To Meet With Cebu and Visayas Bloggers

Gwen Garcia Cebu city’s Governor Gwen Garcia will be meeting with Cebu and Visayas bloggers in a press conference which is slated on Tuesday, July 15, 2008, 11:00AM at the Cebu City Sports Club.

I first learned about this from OQ which was later hammered to shape by my joining the Cebu and Visayas Bloggers’ Google group.

Possible topics, the way I see it fit, that may be brought up during the conference is the empowering of bloggers to do reviews of the various services of the businesses around Cebu city and the province. Opportunity for Cebuano bloggers to help promote tourism, local music scene among other countless fields that may be covered by blogging with acknowledgment. (Continued…)
