I’m back.

Whew. It’s been a looong week for me since I won the infamous iPod. Everybody pitched in for some Link Lovin’ and I want to do my share.

I lifted this list from jester in exile so blame him if your name/site isn’t here. LOL
Leave me a note if I missed you and I will gladly add you on the list. There’s absolutely no problem with me there.

Aaron, Abe, AC, Ade, Aileen, AJ, Aldrin, Allan, Apples, Bo, Benj, Carlo, Chris, Darwin, Dotep, Ederic, Eugene, Gail, Ganns, Gener, Gerry, Hermie, Irvin, Janette, Jayvee, JC the gameshogun, Jeff, Joel, Jomar, Jonas, Joni, Joseph the Baler Blogger, Jozzua, The J-Spotter, Julius, Jun A., Juned, Karla, Kevin, LA, Lauren, Liz, Luis, Mae, Marc of Kutitots, Marc Mac-Man, Marcelle of The Matrix, Marhgil, Markku, Michael SEOLuver, Migs, NikNok the skankslayer, Noel, Noemi, Poell, Randy, Regnard, Retz, Rico, Sasha, Shari, Sharlu, Sorsi, Tess, Tina, Will, Major Zaldy, Mike Abundo, The Jester-in-Exile

My prized possession from that night (well aside from my iPod) is my picture taken with Bo Sanchez. Special thanks to Jun for these shots.

Aj & Bo. Nakakahawa yung smile ni Bo Sanchez. Kailangan kapag kasama mo sya sa picture, malaki rin ang smile mo. Hehe.

AJ, Abe, Jomar, Bo & Markku

I just got back from the BlogParteeh. It’s always fun meeting online friends in real life. There were lots of people and all are blogging enthusiasts. I get to shake hands with Mr. Bo Sanchez, Ms. Malou Mangahas of GMANews.tv, Noemi Dado of About My Recovery, Janette Toral who spearheads iBlog conventions in the country and of course Abe of Yugatech.com.

Please don’t flame me if I am not able to mention your site here. Although Pierre and Mike Abundo actually encourage flaming, a nice comment post would be better. I shared the table with the couple Chris and Apples and Noypi.com administrator Jozzua Apao. I finally met Ederic after a long time of exhanging comments in our respective sites.

The old familiar faces were there. Markku and Kiven bragging their Google adsense revenue and PR juices. Jun, Jomar and Juned whom I met last September BlogCon where there and all three are part of the steering committee.

Since I am digital-camera-deprived these days, I’ll just wait for the fellow bloggers to put up the pictures and link it here (link love baby!).

It was a great event. A big bang to start the new year for bloggers.

Muntik ko nang malimutan, I won the 30gb iPod video. Grand prize lang naman sya at pinalad lang na matawag ang number ko. Extra thanks goes to Enthropia, Inc. {Boracay.com.ph, Recipes.com.ph, WebMaster.com.ph} for sponsoring the iPod. Laki pa rin ng ngiti ko hanggang ngayon. ü

====================

Ganns wrote something funny about the way I accepted the iPod. “3. The winner of the I-Pod, AJ, accepted his prize in the coolest way ever…”
Benj followed it up with “The iPod went to AJ. He struck a messiahnic rockstar pose…”

And as I was writing this entry, I just got my e-Ticket. Too bad that this time around the event is an ‘exclusive’ gathering. Abe wrote an anectode that happened last BlogMeetup in Greenbelt. Apparently, there was a foreigner who signed up in the registration table, feasted at the buffet table and left even before the actual program started. We would not want that to happen again.

Ipagdasal nyo ako na mapanalunan ko yung video iPod. Hehe.

BlogParteeh na!
