Gadgets Magazine Blogfest 2.0 at Trinoma Activity Center

It's only been a few months since we started blogging so when we heard that the Gadgets Magazine Blogfest 2.0 will be held at Trinoma Activity Center, we thought it was a good opportunity to meet fellow bloggers.

Although there were a lot of tempting booths, we never had the time to check the out because we arrived fashionably late.

The talks have already started so we missed a few.  When we arrived Kiva, a loan institution, demonstrated the vital role of social media in its operations.  Through its Facebook, it has kept the public updated with its projects and showing how their clients have progressed from their loans.  After that Coca-cola discussed blogging as a medium in sharing the Corporation Social Responsibility activities of good companies.  They also introduced the Good Blog Award.  The main message of the talks is the bloggers can be social agents of change.

The buffet was opened while Mr. Noel Cabangon played his guitar and sang local songs.  I got the food because Kurt was enjoying the show so much he didn't even mind the food at all.  I've never seen him that excited about shows before.  (see Kurt's video recording below)

A glance at the buffet table made me realize that the food were from Contis.  There were shanghai bites, beef strips, pancit and sweets.

After dinner was the raffle that everyone was waiting for.  I was the first to get picked out and I won an ASUS Cleaning kit.  I haven't figured out what's it for yet but it has some brush and a small spray bottle.  Kurt won a case of canned Sprite.  Some of the prizes were bigger and better like speakers.  The grand prize was an one of ASUS new monitors.  It must have been awesome!

After the program, I met some of the bloggers from Blogger Manila and the founder himself, Mr. Jonel Uy.

Overall, the event was a success.  There were a lot of bloggers that participated and we got a FREE Gadget Magazine and some Coca-Cola products too.
