SM Hypermarket held it’s first blogger writing contest that was previously announced last July 3, 2007 at Taste Asia. Last Thursday, it’s the time to announce the winners from the blog writing contest. Taste Asia 2, was also a venue to meet bloggers of all shapes and sizes and a chance for others who failed to attend the first Taste Asia event. Lots of free food, drinks, raffles and freebies. Hosted by Marcelle and Sorsi, the event went smoothly until 11 pm.

But before that, It is rather my custom to watch at least a movie before I go to a meetup or an event that is held around the Makati area. I did a movie marathon from 12:00 pm up tp 7:00 pm at Glorietta. Bourne Ultimatum and Evan Almighty were my pick for that day. I planned to add one, Rush Hour 3, but I ran out of time. I decided to leave Glorietta and arrive at MoA 30 minutes later. I met Karlo andAllen then Jehzlau alongside the registration booth. I also saw and met Jerico and Eric, saw Billycoy, Doc Tess, LA and Darwin. Followed by Yatot and Lalon who came late. I met Benj and Joe and some of the new first time blogger attendees. Karlo, Silkenhut and Jehzlau roamed the insides and corners of Taste Asia to gather up more signatures. Which later paid off by winning some give aways/prizes courtesy of Knorr products. The event was full of bloggers and guests, at least 300 of us. It was a fun night.

Some of us stayed at the premises until 1 am. AJ, Doc Tess, Darwin, Allen, Jehzlau, Benj and I then decided to transfer to Starbucks at Blue Wave. Lalon left before we take a cab. Benj also left earlier after we arrived there. The rest of us spent 3 hours just chatting and sharing issues and spoilers. It’s nice to have a conversation with bloggers offline. We left almost 4 am and I arrived at San Pedro an hour and a half later.

Saturday afternoon, I went to Taguig to attend the birthday celebration of my friend Abigail. I arrived at around 6 pm aside from the usual scheduled meetup at 4. It is a custom for most of the prex to arrive late whenever we organize a meetup. What surprised me was that I was the first among the prex to arrive at Abby’s house. Followed by Mae and Jerome then later Galvin, we gathered around the cake and Abby blew the candle. It was so high school that the cake even had a number “23″ candle on top of it. Unfortunatley Galvin left earlier and the rest of us stayed, watched a movie and sang karaokes. Some of the prex never made it despite their confirmation. We REALLY had a good time! Lol! 12 am we decided it quits and went home. Abby, if you’re reading this, Happy 23 Birthday again.

I’ll add some later, I need to prepare myself as of this writing. I’ll go to Cabuyao, Laguna to meet some relatives. Link love also later.
