Fabulous Friday!
I think I saw this Friday give-away last weekend but I was so busy that I forgot to join. Today, October 28, I am joining and I really hope I could win.
The give-away is open until tomorrow evening. So, check out My Tots Exactly to join! It’s so easy as 1-2-3 because they are using rafflecopter.
I am so thankful for this blogger-helping-blogger meme. This blog is not a new blog, in fact this is one of my oldest blogs but there is no follower yet. So am so happy for WBFC # 26 because I will have the chance to ask followers as well as I can also follow many other blogs. In fact the home of WBFC is also new so I am also following her, in fact the first blog I followed as I made this post. My GFC widget is at the middle part of the sidebar. If your browser is Firefox Mozilla, there are times the widget won’t show up, so use Chrome or other browsers, be assured the widget is there. Thank you so much in advance for the follow.
There will be two lucky winners of $5.00 for this week. This weeks sponsors are: Chika Bits and Dens Online. I wish that one day too I’ll be one lucky winner of that amount. Five is five but no one is gonna give me any five anytime of the weekend. Right? So, if you need GFC followers now, join us!
WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME!
Ten is ten and if no one is gonna give you a ten dollars any time then you are ten dollar poorer. I want to be ten dollars richer so I am joining Kayce’s Mini Giveaway.
She just launched her newest blog so she is inviting her friends and readers to join her giveaway. It will be in this blog that she will share her passion on joining contests, giveaways, and any blog fun. So let’s join in welcoming her blog to the blog world by checking out her contest page and then follow the easy mechanics.
I was there! The first bloggers event i attended outside of Mindanao. When i decided to attend, I did not know exactly what to expect and experience in the said event but i managed to mention a few when i posted in the pre-event post requirement that i posted in my other blog. I thought the typhon Cheding would spoil the plan. Nah. It was a peaceful night. Slept soundly in my bunk during the whole trip.
I arrived at the venue in Sacred Heart Center on time, in fact one of the first 25 to arrive and we were given an Airphilexpress token – a shirt and slippers in orange splendor. Photo?
Note: My camera was not working during this event. Ask me why? Not here. It will be in another blog post.
There were 7 speakers during the day’s event and all shared their line of expertise:
Mr. Paul Gotiong
A member of Cebu Digital Photographers shares the basic of photography, use of camera settings, composition and lighting, and photography gears and its uses.
Aside from his PAUL tips, he shares these reminders when posting photos online:
- Always watermark your photos
- Always resize for web use
- Respect Intellectual Copyrights.
Note: photos am using in this post are not mine. They are Janelle Moran’s photos who happen to be one of my table mates. Notice the watermark on the photo.

Mr. Estan Cabigas
He is one of the famous Filipino travel/photography bloggers. That I concluded after going through Langyaw blog and of course after listening to him. He is a multiawarded blogger and freelance photographer based in Makati City. He makes stunning images and has writtten for CNN Go and his photograph published in the May 2010 issue of the National Geographic Magazine. He’s a pro!
He shared 8 tips travel bloggers won’t go without and one of his lines that everyone agrees on is: Travel broadens the mind and enriches the soul. Travel is s a journey to oneself.

Ms. Janette Toral
Famous to many bloggers as the founder of Digital Filipino and author of the Blogging from Home book. I’ve listened to her in previous 2 blogging events in Mindanao and this time she spoke on Blogger’s Etiquette 101 and shared do’s and don’ts and in media and blogging event.s (i noted down them down but will make another post for it and link later.)
~~~
Ms. Aileen Apolo- de Jesus
I fondly think of her as Ms. Google Philippines. 
Ask why? Because she is Google Country Consultant for the Philippines. She is always one of the speakers in all the blogging events i attended since I started blogging. She updates us on Google services. This time she talked on how to improve your travel by maximizing the use of Google services. She suggested the use of Google Maps in travel blogs and to edit maps by using Google Map Maker (that GMM won me a GMM T-shirt!) and many more.

Chef Anthony Gomez
His once is the Head Chef in Ativo Italian resto and also in Marco Polo Cebu. He spoke a lot on passionate cooking that one thing i cannot forget is that if tomato still tastes like tomato in the cooking then what you are doing is perfect.
~~~
Mr. Coy Caballes
A Vlogger and Globe Social Media Manager, he spoke on the basics of social media marketing and share tips on how to increase traffic and audience.
~~~
Mr. Ruben Licera Jr.
He is a Certified Internet Marketing Expert and he shares his professional expertise at http://rubenlicera.com. He shares with us the core of social marketing through Facebook and the rules of Facebook Marketing.
~~~
Mr. Eric Su
The owner and founder of PicLyf. He introduced PicLyf and also promoted the use of it by detailing why PicLyf is a life photo sharing community. (now this reminds me to open an account asap)

The speakers used Power Point in all presentation as they were given only a short amount of time to present their topics. That made me more uncomfortable in my seat because to get all the infos that i need, I have to take photo of each slides but damn my camera…it was so useless!
Anyhow, i’ve taken note of what was so interesting to me and then spend some time with the Plant and Zombies to divert my mind from the loss of my battery. And it is due to this situation that i missed going out with my Iligan fellow bloggers because i wanted to hurry home to check if the battery was dropped anywhere in the bedroom or under the sofa in the sala.
The event was truly successful. Their working team was great. The energetic Mr. John Mendoza was so friendly and energized that everyone felt at ease during the whole event. They have already announced the Blog Camp 2012 schedule and will fall on May 26, 2012.
I missed so many photo opps but I make sure I will make it up next time. =)
When i checked out my mailbox earlier, i found this invitation to the Queens Meme. This week is all about “Magic”. Do i believe in magic? The questions are sort of hard to understand and to answer but maybe after this post, i will answer them later after checking out the best gift for a horse rider – the breeches! I am sure the equestrian will be real happy if you remember to give him that this christmas.
The queen’s meme is all about:
Sometimes silly. Sometimes serious.
Always fun!
Step out of the box. Be creative.
Use your imagination.
No one’s answers are quite like yours.
Wanna join? Check it here. Like it? If so, do the answering and come back to leave your link so that i can visit.
Now am off to do my power nap. Ta ta
We will be having another set of long weekend because on Monday is a national holiday. So i thought of going out on a road trip but no one invited me. If i have my own vehicle then for sure i will be on the go. Where? Maybe to Davao or maybe in Surigao because i’ve never been to Surigao yet.
Here’s my test result:
You Take the Road No One Travels |
|
You live life at a fairly leisurely pace. You take time to enjoy the sweeter parts of life, even when you’re busy. You are all about risk and randomness in your life. You travel off the beaten path… in fact, you’re often the one carving the way! You tend to be a workaholic. You overwork yourself without ever realizing it and sometimes suffer the consequences later. In another life, you could have been a great artist. You trust your creative instincts enough to let them lead you. |
I was going through this blog, i thought of checking out my first post and good thing i discovered that it was today in 2007 that i made my first post or else i can’t greet this blog.
This blog has been through a lot. This blog was started because i wanted to venture paid blogging or having fun blogging at the same time earn. So that was how it started until one time last year i thought of closing out this site because i have other blogs that sprouted. I ran out of time to update – thus the decision. I did not close yet but i made it stagnant for some months. Still a blogspot then, from PR 3 it turned into 0. When it became zero i then decided to revive using an owned domain. I wished for a domain then an angel heard my wish – thus it became www.midlifedancing.com (still on blogger format) The PR 3 never showed its shadow again though one time for some months it got a PR 2. Now it’s back to 0 but am still blessed because though it is zero – blessing still pours. It may not be as much as typhon but it showers and it rains.
Just this year, i was able have it hosted by WS thanks again to that angel for the affordable hosting.
So for those who plan to start blogging just for the heck of it – go ahead! Who knows one day you will also feel like go into paid blogging. But if you plan to blog to make millions, i have not experienced that so i can’t say yes or no.
I’d like to thank to those who have encouraged me to blog and also those who have visited this blog once in a while as well as those regular visitors.
You may be wondering why there’s no contest or blog fun to celebrate the blogsarry – sorry, i just discovered it today that this blog turns 2 today. Maybe next year.
