Bloggers dine with Microtel Inn Suites

Microtel Inn Suites presentation

It would seem that companies lately have seen a lot of potential in using blogs as a marketing tool for their businesses. And here in the Philippines, they have started tapping on some of the popular bloggers specializing on their respective niches. That said, I was a bit surprised when I received an email invitation from the Philippine’s pro-blogging guru Abe Olandres or also known as Yuga of Yugatech to attend a dinner invitation from Microtel Inn and Suites Philippines. As I don’t really attend much blogger events, I decided it would be nice to attend this one since the niche is more on blogs involved in travel and photography. I thought it would be nice to meet these other travel bloggers as well.

11th Philippine Hot Air Balloon Fiesta

It’s the Philippine Hot Air Balloon Fiesta once again and this annual event is now on its 11th year. I really had plans on going back here once again since I enjoyed last year’s spectacle. At first I wasn’t sure if I could make this trip since a friend of mine who originally invited me to come suddenly backed out due to an unforeseen gig scheduled at that time.

Everything was last minute though, as we had to leave that Friday night since we were going to stay at a villa in Mimosa. No one from the group wanted to wake up and drive early morning.

It was the first time for me to attend this spectacle of an event and with free complimentary tickets to boot. It was an event not to miss, lest I have to wait again another year.

Gulugod Baboy and Digimac Exhibit

Whew! I’ve been on the move since Friday. It was really nice to see the Lakbay Unlimited folks back again in one place. Last Friday the guys had a nice video night in Marco’s place. We watched “Anger Managment”, which is quite funny and also “Gothika” a nice suspense movie, which made the girls in the room scream in suspense. Quite a fun movie. I had to leave them early, after the two movie since I have a climb on weekend. I was actually having second thoughts about the climb in Gulugod Baboy, I just packed my bag that morning …
