Wee! I finally met the bloggers behind the famous blogs in the Philippine blogosphere. It was my first time to attend this kind of event where I mingled with fellow bloggers that I’ve known online. It wasn’t easy to fit in at first, but on the long run I get the hang of it as I introduced myself to new faces.
The event was held in Taste Asia located at the north wing of the SM Mall of Asia. I was invited days before the event by Lalon and later agreed to come. I ask for Ms. Shari to put me on the list so I can attend the said event. Yesterday July 3, I went to Glorietta to watch Transformers movie before going to the event. “Tutal, I’ll be going out naman, so why not watch a movie first before going to the event. I’ll be meeting also 2 of my prex’s after the movie so I can hand over the mp3 CD I burned for them. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to finish the movie because heck it was long… 2 hours and 30 minutes and that time I need to meet my friends at Food choices in G4. We parted ways and me rode a bus going to MoA.

Upon arriving at MoA, I looked for Lalon who is currently waiting for me outside McDonalds. He introduced himself to me which I did too aftwerwards. We headed out to look for the establishment, asked the guard for directions and tada… there it is, Taste Asia. We registered, get our name stickers and went inside. A bit nervous that time for a first timer like me, I looked around to see some familiar faces. I first saw and recognized Karlo of Pinoyblogero. His avatar look-a-like on his blog looks just like him. Hehe. Then we were introduced to some of the bloggers like Yatot, Shari, Neil, Jerico, LA, Billycoy, Eric Dee, Darwin, Ms.Tess and Poell. Wow, for the first time I finally meet them in flesh. We saw this Clique booth right next to our table and decided to take a picture. Anyways, it’s free. (Imagine, how much the company behind cliquebooth spend that night. Not to mention the prints which came out from a Canon photo-printer)

Let’s get to the food shall we? The food was oh so yummy. The chicken which I later found out was a thai cuisine, the odd looking bamboo shells which I never had a chance to try , the barbecue, and oh yes… the sisig…yeah the sisig. There are also fries with dips and tacos/nachos along with it. The famous chocolate fountain and some foods that I never tried that time. The food was free and delicious, it’s just enough for me. There’s a raffle hosted by Mr. Jayvee and bloggers that had a call card with their name were required to submit it in a fishbowl to be picked randomly and be called to win a prize. I never made a call card simply because of lack of time. I tried my way of creating at least 20 that morning but I found out that my printer ran out of ink. Some of my co-blogger friends won a prize. At the end of the event, at least I have a chance to take home a fried siomai which luckily fit inside my small hand bag.

*I saw Mr. Abe in the event and I wish I could’ve shake hands with him, but my shyness prevented me that time. Huhu. Another funny memory from the event was this guy who happened to be a look-a-like of “Hiro Nakamura” from the TV series “Heroes”. It looks just like him. We joked around and made a bet on who can go to this guy and shout the word “Yatta! (I did It!)” in front of him. No one dared. Haha. So far, the event was a blast. Although some manage to stay up until morning, I together with the “first-timers” went home around 11:30 pm. It was a fun and memorable night. I hope to attend another one of this blogger events. Here’s a photo shot from the event. Courtesy of Mr. Lalon. Other pics can be found on Jerico’s Multiply and our shot at Cliquebooth.

Ok, that’s it. Back to my working schedule… as a housemaid. Wahehe. Linis bahay, luto pagkain, hugas pinggan…dami pa… everyday yan since our previous maid swooshed away without a notice last month. Nakakapagod din pala ang maging maid. We’re currently looking for a new one and if you’re interested just give me a call, text or email, ok?
