Listen to article

AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE announced GPD MicroPC 2 with Intel Core 3 N350 announced Nintendo Direct to unveil Switch 2 games for second half of 2026 iOS 27 Beta Is Out, But You'll Need to Join a Waitlist to Try the New Siri AI Everything Apple Announced at WWDC 2026

I’ve been asked numerous times to set a date for a mini get-together this December. My schedule is really fully booked but December 22, 2006 (that’s a Friday) is a good time to have one.

Anybody interested? This is a Friday evening so maybe we could have it at the Mall of Asia or something?

Any suggestions? Who’s coming? This is dinner, coffee and photo-shoot afterwards. Informal meet-up just like what we all used to have before. We can plan and do a bigger one on January.

So line up and list your names now. Invite others too. :)

Baang Coffee has free WiFi in Mall of Asia. But a big buncha bloggers won’t fit!

I’ll be in the country after all. But, it’s our office/group of companies party. See y’all in January!

@ade: ahem ahem…he posted an email “interview” I had with him here

And he has helped me get more subscribers for my ezine. Definitely draws traffic.

@Jomar: It would be fun if Bo could meet bloggers, wouldn’t it?

@Yuga: Where in Mall of Asia city will this be? YUng may free Wi-fi (paging Sorsi, Globe, anybody)

@ jomar: That is awesome! I have a friend who is a big fan of Bo Sanchez. He’ll love this. :)

jomar · 20 years ago

I think I can go.

Hey, have you heard? I finally convinced Bo Sanchez (kerygma magazine’s funny preacher) to BLOG!

http://bosanchez.ph — is his blog, he has the *celeb* advantage as his blog hits ave 20,000 hits a day since he began Nov.

Well it really helps that he’s upped the ante and now does a DAILY VODCAST – youtube style called “Preacher in Blue Jeans”. Check it out – the link’s in his blog, too.

Ika nga nila “share your blessings and it will come back to you seven times seven folds”. :)

sasama ang ituloy angsulong movement =) hayan, may santa claus na! :D

“Iâ€™ll treat everyone to a round of Chickenjoy or Starbucks (that way I could get my card stamped)”. You just heard that from him.

Thats a done deal… although I am not from California. Thanks that will make it a great get together. We appreciate that.

Abe Olandres Editor-in-chief · 20 years ago

@ jayvee & seav

This could all happen between 6PM to 2AM at MOA so there’s time for others to catch up.

@ pogi

Here’s the deal. If you could come down here on the 22nd from California, I’ll treat everyone to a round of Chickenjoy or Starbucks (that way I could get my card stamped).

How’s that for a teaser? ;)

@ marc

Flying out? Are you immigrating? I thought you said it wasn’t cool to immigrate?

pogi · 20 years ago

Who is dressing up as Santa Claus? A Christmas party needs Santa Claus. I am down for the photo-shot during the get together. Can I be the centerfold Yuga? I am a beautiful subject. I have a suggestion for dinner. How about Jollibee’s? I think that will be affordable for everyone. We are not all rich like some people.
