The longest blogger EB ever!

We started at 7pm and went home at 4:30am. I’ll allow the pictures to speak for themselves.

Special thanks to Marc and Gail for the goodie bags, Noemi for her cookies and chocolate giveaways, Ajay for the boxes of Casino Filipino playing cards (and what’s the name of those buns again?) , Jomar for the publication, and Aldrin for the Accenture trinkets. Same goes to Jayvee for sponsoring some dinner food.

We also raffled off plogHost polo shirts, mugs and Indonesian ref magnets as well as lifetime hosting from PinoyWebHosting.net and domain registrations. Thanks to Gail for also awarding a fully customized WordPress theme design.

Xmas

Follow the roll call:

Thank you to the volunteers of the steering committee on next year’s post New Year Party. Tentative date is Jan. 26, 2007.

It was great just to hang out like that. I had fun. Looking forward to the January BlogCon. I’ll help pitch in in any way I can.

How about we create some buzz?… Like a banner countdown or something? And make the rounds to invite others….

Well I was tired after performing and staying up late practicing after work the whole week.

Waaahhh. Good thing I didn’t attend the blog con. Ang tatanda na pala ninyo. Hehe. Sorry for the term “ang tatanda.” Akala ko pa naman may mga EMO. Anyways, I’m glad you had a successful blog con. Hope to see you very soon. Magpapalaki muna ako. Ahehe.

Congratulations fellow bloggers on your recently concluded EB ;)

Ito pala ung kasabay na affair nung Philweavers XMAS party (na napostponed… sayang sana alam namin to)

We would have attended this event if we have known this event earlier… for sure we’d be around on your next event this January

Indeed this is a long eb for an online group if it started from 7P to 430a… it reminds me of our irc channel eb at dalnet (circa 2001-2002) where we started 7a and ended 12noon the other day :P

Once again congratulations and may you all feel the Lord’s gentle presence this Christmas and always ;)

For those PW bloggers slash developer slash designer, XMAS party will still be at Inihaw Circle this 29th… see yah!

(to carlo : ei carlo whazzup? good to hear na youre browsing on WAP. do we have to put it here ba na im on GPRS, WAP, DSL, 3G, 56k etc. anyway why’d u put your libel blog entry out? remind ko lang ung fone ni ramsey – or you might start reading stuff like fraud and estafa cases. tnx!)

The only reason I’m glad I didn’t go is that you won’t get to post a candid mug shot of me up there.

Other than that, I regret I didn’t brave the Christmas traffic to be there=( Hope I can be there next Blog Con (regardless of whether we are sponsors or not=P and regardless of what company I belong to by then=P)
