Glimpses of Orman

Actually i have two titles for this post – Glimpses of Orman ba or Too Near yet Too Far.  Why Too Near yet too Far?  Because we were already in one event, in one room yet I haven’t asked him if i can have a photo taken with him.

This is not a contest entry.  Hindi nalang dahil naabutan ako ng deadline.  Tapos na ang contest yet i have planned of making this post but i was just too busy since i move to another deparment at the start of the week.  So i lost track of time.  Too many reasons (stupid reasons) kulang nalang talaga sabihin na matanda na ako kaya nakalimutan ko na ang mga dapat ko gawin sa buhay blogger ko.

The culimation or the finale  of all contests for GESM is the blog-writing-photo-contest.  The moment i read the post here i knew right away that i can’t make the desired post dahil wala kaming picture dalawa ng royal gandaness ng Gen San.  Hinalungkat ko ang baol ng MBS3 ko kahit alam ko na wala kaming litrato na kami lang dalawa.  Nor a photo of me and him and everyone!

But guess what?  I have glimpses of Orman~~

The royal gandaness of Gen San having a chat with the handsome Adel Tamano

Si Adel ang pakay ko sa aking litrato but hindi yan ibig sabihin na talbog ni Adel ang beauty ni Orman.  Magkaiba kaya sila ng beauty.  I just wished i have asked them both to face me.

Another glimpse of the friendly Orman:

No particular person is focused in this shot.  It was at this point that everyone is taking pictures – feeling the ambience of being in an MBS event.   Although before this shot, i took this —

Kilala nyo sino ito?

Oh well, this is the Orman’s ever loving kapatid!

At bakit meron akong kuha na picture ni Avel at wala kay Orman?

Dahil ay….di pa kami friends ni Orman!

It was my first time to have a glimpse of Orman.
It was my first time to know din na kapatid pala sya ni Avel.
Orman was not introduced to me.  Kahit man lang magkalapit tables namin.

Here’s another one:

Here’s another of me and Avel after thePinoy  Bloggers Awards Night.

Bakit walang Orman again?

Dahil hindi ko sya nakita malapit dyan sa PBAN poster –
at siguro din di pa sya ganun ka famous sa bloggers community kaya di ko man lang sya nalapitan at yinaya na magpa picture kami.

Napaisip rin ako na sana si Orman si Orman nalang ang katabi ko sa picture na yana para meron na akong entry sa 7th week contest. :)

I am sorry Orman!

Pansin kita but di pa tayo friends kahit man lang sa plurk. hehhee

If given the chance again — MBS 4 or MBS 5 or any Mindanao bloggers event na magtagpo tayo ulit, for sure i’d love to take a lot of photos with you.  Sana pagbigyan mo ako.  :)

Here’s another (the last) of some glimpses of you:

(please click on the photo to enlarge)

If i am right — this is a group of Gen San and Davao bloggers.  Ako kumuha sa litrato na ito and this was already after the group picture.

I know Orman can be a great friend.
Reading his thoughts through his entries, i know madali lang sya kaibiganin.

But marunong din sya maging mataray..na mataray to the max.
But if pairalin nya ang kanyang pagka loving then love nya talaga ang kanyang mga friends.

Wish you another year of fruitful blogging years, Orman!

Mabuhay ang GESM!

I wish i can make it to your party on Saturday night.

Enjoy enjoy enjoy….

Oppss huwag mo lang kalimutan e mail ang mga panalo ko sa previous contests! =)

The MBS 3 organizers, no other than the CDO Bloggers launches a blog contest.  One has to blog about their experience during the summit held couple of weeks ago in Cagayan de Oro City.  I got the info through my email and just forgot about it.  Good thing i cleaned up my mailbox and come across the email again.  I still have second thoughts of joining because i don’t write well. But after awhile, i decided to join and here’s my entry -

MY MBS 3 EXPERIENCE

I was away for the weekend and where I was?  Check out these two photos:

PA240921

PA241020

These were two big events, so, this week, I will alternately post MBS 3 related entrieshere in this blog and in my Midlifedancing blog.

I many photos to share and i hope i can share some here in my blog but possibly all in my Facebook account.

Today, we went on to a city tour and been to the interior of the places where i just passes by for all my adult years.  Good thing the trip went on fine.  We did not met any accidents or else we would be needed lawyers like New York accident lawyers. The city tour group was split in two and we enjoyed all the places we visited in spite the heat of the sun.

I discovered myself this afternoon that i got sunburned.  Good thing it was not so serious but there’s really a burn mark in my arms and on my chest.  According to Milo cleavage daw. lol!

This year’s MBS was hosted by the CDO Bloggers:

PA240974
Each of them was called up the stage for a big applause from the participants.  :)

I also got some MBS 3 memorablia shots with MBS big people and these two are just the first few:

PA240986

With Avel “Bariles” of Gensan Dot Com.  Gen San hosted the MBS  2 last year and that was spearheaded by him.  His blog won the best Mindanao travel blog in the Philippine Blog Awards.

PA240987

This is me with Blogie Robillo, the founder of Mindanao Bloggers Community.   He was also one of the awardee last night. His blog Ang Dabawenyo won a Globe Tatoo Tribe Award.

This is my second time to meet both these guys and i hope to meet them again next Summit.

Note:  11/2/09
Thanks Chito for making the correction.  Congratulations to your blog -  Davaobase Dot Com for being Mindanao Bloggers Choice and got the award.

::A Press Release::

The Cagayan de Oro Bloggers (CDO Bloggers) group is set to play host to the Mindanao Bloggers Summit 3, which will be held on October 24, 2009. With the theme, “Mindanao: Bag-Uhon Ang Panan-aw,” the MBS 3 aims to uphold the beauty and strength of the island and to expunge the negative notions the world has about it.

(Cagayan de Oro City, Mindanao, Philippines – October 21, 2009) – It’s all systems go for the Cagayan de Oro Bloggers (CDO Bloggers) as they play host to the much-awaited Mindanao Bloggers Summit 3, an annual gathering of Mindanao-based bloggers, IT industry experts, community leaders and new media advocates, on October 24, 2009 at Pearlmont Inn, Limketkai Drive, Cagayan de Oro City. Roughly 300 bloggers are expected to attend this year’s summit.

With the theme, “Mindanao: Bag-Uhon Ang Panan-aw,” (Changing The Way People See Mindanao) the event aims to uphold the beauty and strength of Mindanao, to highlight the diverse cultures and fascinating tourist spots that are uniquely Mindanao and to provide a platform where bloggers and other new media practitioners can discuss concerns related to Mindanao – all with the help of new and emerging technologies.

“Mindanao is the home of everything fascinating or in bloggers’ lingo – bloggable. Through the Mindanao Bloggers Summit 3, it is the hope of the CDO Bloggers, along with our partners and generous sponsors, that we listen to knowledgeable resource persons, meet other Mindanaoan bloggers, share and maximize all of our skills and resources and adopt tried and tested practices that can help us to fully promote Mindanao and for us to become better bloggers as well,” emphasized Chiq Montes, president of CDO Bloggers.

“Of course, we also want all of the participants to have a good time and experience the sights and sounds of Cagayan de Oro,” Montes added.

Montes said that apart from Mindanaoan bloggers, the summit will also see the participation of some bloggers from Luzon and Visayas.

Expected to grace the summit is United States Embassy’s new Deputy Chief of Mission Leslie Bassett, Atty. Adel Tamano, Agusan Lone District Rep. Rodolfo “Ompong” Plaza and Cagayan de Oro City Mayor Tinnex Jaraula.

Considered unprecedented in the Philippine blogosphere, a top ranking United States Embassy dignitary is set to deliver the keynote address. Bassett’s trip to CDO will be her first trip to Mindanao since assuming office in June. She previously served as DCM in Mexico.

“We are deeply honored. We’re certain that the summit participants will be delighted to meet her and we can’t wait for her to see our beautiful city,” Montes said.

Other speakers during the whole-day affair include Cagayan de Oro City Mayor Tinnex Jaraula, Agusan Lone District Rep. Rodolfo “Ompong” Plaza and Atty. Adel Tamano.

Google’s Philippine representative Aileen Apolo, whose talk will focus on beginners, Digital Filipino’s Janette Toral, who will discuss blog advertising and Lyle Santos, who will talk about making money online will also be present. Representatives of other blogger groups including those in Davao City, General Santos City and Zamboanga will also give updates.

After the summit proper, participants have the choice of joining either the city tour (Xavier University Museum, Cathedral, Divine Mercy Shrine, Opol Aviary, Limketkai Mall) or the whitewater rafting adventure.

Also happening on October 24, right after the MBS 3, is the Philippine Blog Awards – Mindanao awarding ceremonies.

CDO Bloggers, Inc., a group duly registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, is the lead organizer of this year’s Mindanao Bloggers Summit 3. Previous summits took place in Davao City and General Santos City.
