This is my ticket to this year’s momentous reunion of the demigod of Philippine rock ‘n’ roll, Wolfgang. Forget about The Eraserheads short reunion gig because this is the it of all reunions in the scene!

The first leg of this 2-part reunion concert will be held at Eastwood City, Libis on December 10 and the second will be at Paseo Center, Mabolo, Cebu city on December-fucking-twelve!

This will also feature one the country’s finest rock act Razorback! Who’ll have us singing “giniyang ka na naman, beer ang nasa isipan” again.

Cebuanos get you tickets at The Outpost, all Mooon Cafe, Kaona Grill!

Sunrise in Alcoy, Cebu

December 3, 2008 Write a Comment Travels

Instead of posting photos on our last team GA in Alcoy, Cebu, I’ve decided to just share to you this video capturing the sunrise of the town. This was between five and six in the morning when all of my team mates were still asleep after last night’s swimming and boozing.

The girl on the video is my girlfriend. We were the only people awake during this time excluding the fisherman busily luring fishes onto his fish net.

Ah, the benefits of blogging!

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 continue reading…

Visayas Bloggers joins MBM 2008 Presscon

July 19, 2008 4 comments Meetings

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! continue reading…

Gwen To Meet With Cebu and Visayas Bloggers

July 13, 2008 2 comments Meetings

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. continue reading…
