Here is the summary of the talk I gave during the 1st BAGUIO BLOG CONFERENCE on May 19,2012 in the City of Pines Baguio.It was such an honor to be invited as a speaker in the event which could be the start of something BIG for blogging in Baguio and the Cordilleras as a whole.
It feels good knowing you are talking to young minds thirsty of learning a new skill.These are the faces of the future bloggers of the Cordilleras.I was part of history in the making.I hope I contributed something during my talk and I hope many were inspired to start blogging.
MY INITIAL IMPRESSION OF EVENTS BLOGGING
“that giving in to EVENTS BLOGGING” is selling your principles”
MANILA BLOGGERS
A very diverse group (students, professionals, businessmen etc.)
Informal grouping (very independent bloggers)

I like the last "It’s not ALL ABOUT MONEY"
ReplyDeleteMay mga napapansin kasi akong pera-pera lang at harbat King and Queens kung tingnan...
ANyways, I still believe that REAL BLOGGERS stay because it's FUN not just because of those material things na nakukuha after ng events.
i love going to blog events because it is the only time i get to really socialize and have a social life -seriously. im a mother of two and i focus my time, effort and attention more to them than engage myself in mindless chatters with the ever chismosang kapitbahayan. blog events opened my eyes and myself to "new horizons" i learned a lot about myself and about others, but i do love to have a checklist like what you highlighted here :p
ReplyDeleteIt’s not ALL ABOUT MONEY- tama.... though kailangan din ang kaching-kaching..... hindi naman yun ang mahalaga
