Today at the UP NISMED, over 100+ bloggers and blog enthusiasts gathered for the 1st-ever Phil. Blog Summit.
Me, I got the chance to meet the faces behind the blogs (at last!). Jon Lao, Markku, Ederic, Mickey, Ate Sienna, JAngelo, Comm. Mapa, Dean, Gail and a whole bunch of others I fail to remember. There were interviews from stations (GMA7, IBC) so watch out for me on TV.
My thanks to JJ and his gang for organizing the event. Thanks to Janet for the two books she gave me. This is just the beginning of more things to come in pinoy blogging…
P.S. If you guys have group pictures with me in it, pretty please send me a copy (abe [at] ploghost.com). Thanks! 
Update! Just got a call now from GMA 7 and they told me the feature will be aired today (May 9) at 7AM in Unang Hirit then another one in 24 Oras.
hey! nabigla ako nakita ko ni-link mo ako sa previous entry mo nung nag-present ka. had to ask one of the student assistants na mag-browse ulit sa site mo, para ma-confirm lang na di ako namalik-mata.
anyway, papakilala na sana ako nung end nung event, pero inatake na rin ako ng hiya, and it looks like you were too busy toying with a borrowed (?) Canon Rebel DSLR. i can’t blame you, dude. ano yun? 300D? or 350D, yung bago?
Hey Rain! Dun ka pala talaga! Was actually waiting na may lumapit sa akin di ko naman kase kayo mamumukhaan. Anyways, sana kinalabit mo lang ako.
The camera was Connie’s sopanking new Canon Rebel XT 350D.
Sa muling pagkikita.
ginawa ka palang photographer ni Connie. Biruin mo una kang nakahawak ng baby niya. hehehe
Hello Yuga. It was great to finally catch up with you. I look forward to your articles and hope to collaborate with you again on the 2nd blogging summit. =)
It was great seeing you and the rest of the bloggers in real life, Yuga. Shy mode lang ako kahapon kaya di ako agad lumapit sa inyo. Late pa ko.
Yaan mo, ‘di na ako magiging missing in action dahil pagkagaling sa event, bumili ako ng second hand na monitor. Makaka-online na ako madalas sa haus. Hehe.
Ano ‘yung bagong project natin? :p
congratulations to the organizers for a succesful event…:)
Yugs, bakit screw lang ng tripod ang naiwan mo sa cam ko? Sana iniwan mo nang nakakabit yung buong tripod mo para naiuwi ko. Ala ako tripod eh. heheheheh
The Ca t: kahit man lang sa hawak eh nakatikim ako ng Canon 350D.
Janet: nice meeting you as well. I’ll email you the article within this week.
’til the next summit!
ederic: sa wakas! nagkita rin tayo.
connie and I will email you about it.
Connie: ibalik mo yung tripod screw ko! sama mo na yung Rebel XT mo. hehehe

I really missed a great event.
Hi Abe! Thank you very much for everything: the effort you put into sharing your expertise and experience with all of us at the event; the time you took to be with all the bloggers at the summit (ika nga time is precious); and most of all, your generosity of spirit in taking our pictures (yun ang pinakaimportante! hehehe). It was great to have finally met you (nagkita na kami ni joeyboy dati sa Zone at one of the eb’s).
See you in cyberspace!
A friend called up my husband about Unang Hirit. Syempre when I found out tapos na, ano? Unang Hirit… tulog pa ako nun.
Yugs, turn on your MSN Messenger. Nasaan ka ba? Nasaan ‘yung tripod ko?
ganda!!!! mister official photographer namin :p
anyway… success nya no? galing..
mrniceash: ba’t san ka ba nagpunta? sayang!
lindy: small world ano? sa iBlog pa tayo nag meet instead sa badminton court.
sassy: nasa Manila Bulletin din tayo today! Grab a print copy!
delish: nice meeting you again and the blogkada!
I normally watch TV Patrol but since we’re on 24 oras…Too bad I was not able to pinpoint ederic.
Aattend na lang ako ng second iBlog summit
Ardythe: magkakilala ba kayo ni Ederic?
Fleeb: meron pa daw one more summit this year, around Sept. or Oct. banda.

It was great to get to meet fellow bloggers outside of the usual one-on-one EB or small party/gathering. Let’s do it again!
Ah yes, Janette has already told me of two more installments, one of them is supposed to be held down south (Cebu maybe). If she’ll get me a plane ticket and accomodations, I’d gladly attend and talk about “Earning from your blog!” hehehe
