As i mentioned last week, i’d like to say big thank you to the admin of Paraiso Philippines for giving me the chance to join the 2nd Mindanao Bloggers Summit last week-end in General Santos City.  It was a memorable experience and made me think that in the next summits to come, i should take the time to attend.  Thank you too for sponsoring the one way gas expense of one of the speakers in the person of Mr. Bobby Timonera that enabled Dimple to tag along with me or else if i have taken the bus, she can never come along.

It was my first time to join the convention.  The first summit was held in Davao last year but i didn’t heard about that one besides from the fact that i just  started blogging around that time.   The theme of the convention was”"Mindanawon Paminawon Intawon: Blogging the Mindanao Consciousness.” Each speaker shares informations that can be a useful in improving one’s blog.    In short, i can say that everyone in the big room agrees that there are many things Mindanao can show to the world more then bad news and bombings.

Aside from the inspiring thoughts and tips of all speakers, one of the unforgetable happening out there is that, i made friends with most bloggers who are out there.  I have a long list of blogs to be visited and i hope to visit them one by one as soon as i got the time.   I was also able to pose with most of the speakers and am gonna post more of my pics in my Photoblog, if not tonight, the soonest.

I grabbed this program in JPEG file from Lainy’s blog as i want to share it here.  Lainy was part of the secretariat of the event and we end up chatting during the Tuna Cocktail.  She shared with me some good tips on how to earn more with my blogs and i hope i can apply it to myself soon.  Here’s the program.

Here are some proofs of my attendance: “:)

- @ 7:30 i was already at the site.

- my E-pass. Got it Thursday afternoon.

- because i made it early to the site, i was rewarded this Word Camp T-shirt. And am so happy, it fits Dimple in a fashionable way.  So that became hers right away.

- me w/ my kit & the secretariat -

- dimple w/ the youngest blogger present (14 y.o.)

Especially my thoughts and reactions to the messages shared at the summit, but it seems my hands are full for updates.
