I’m nervous already. Click here to see the event blog.

FOR THE first time, bloggers based in South Cotabato (BrVince, Aethen), Sarangani Province (that’s me), and General Santos (Avel, Hecky, and Job with his wife, Leizel) held a meetup to get to know each other and to start something new.

In this pic: Job and his wife, Liezl, Sir Avel, Sir, Hecky,
BrVince, Me, and Aethen.

Sir Avel, who organized the meeting, was first to arrive. I and Aethen arrived next. I felt so awkward at first for two reasons: first, I will be meeting people I have never met before, and second, the place intimidated me. Good thing, Sir Avel was nice. We have already ordered some stuff on the menu when Br. Vince arrived.

YOU ARE not mistaken. Yeah, it’s from Don Jaime Zobel de Ayala.

Of course, since Globe is one of the Zobel’s companies, his number is not revealed, only his name. Here is the message:

Dear AYLs, it’s been 10 years since the 1st AYLC and I’m treating you to a 2-day Grand Reunion with my sons, JAZA and FZA on Feb 9-10, 2008 at the NBC Tent, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig.

FOR MY part in the Blogging Seminar in Marbel, I will be talking on the Basics of Blogging.

One of the questions I will be presenting is “Why Blog?”

To stress my point that anyone blog for any reason, I would like to gather replies from active bloggers like you. Please leave a comment on this post and share your purpose for maintaining a blog.

Thank you very much for you help. I will be showing your links in my presentation.

Have a great day!

THE THIRD day was a busy day. We woke up early to get things done smoothly. By eight o’clock, the kids and their parents will already be at the school grounds.

The tasks were divided among us. Some were assigned at the kitchen. Others took charge of the program. I accompanied Sir Leo, Sir Jef, and Sir Boy when they prepared the stage. They used banigs for backdrop, which, I learned were woven by the B’laans themselves. The banigs were the same as the ones I mentioned in my Youngblood article. Sir Boy added grasses and native flowers.
