Cebu Bloggers Society turns 3

Last February 21, 2009, I joined Cebu Bloggers Society, then just a ‘growing’ group of bloggers in Cebu. It was an overwhelming experience meeting the other bloggers of Cebu; it was like meeting a new family. I remembered it well, a meeting done at Enovlink — my first meeting. I thank again Mark & Vanjohnn for persuading me to come and join the group. And I just did.

Today marks my 2nd year as a Cebu Bloggers Society member. My 2 years were filled with fun and intriguing moments. I met new and amazing friends for keeps. Looking back, I actually miss the original people I bonded with when I was a newbie. Where are you now?

Anyways, CBS has evolved into a bigger and more serious organization now. I’m happy to see it grow and reach out to the bigger community. The CBS @ 3 Anniversary party in PAGCOR, Casino Filipino Parkmall Satellite Branch last Saturday, was quite simple yet successful. Even with just a quite few old faces and a handful of new, we still had fun. The bonding that came after the party was also great, getting to bond with old friends once again. Brush aside awkward moments, that night was a good one.

Congratulations CBS. And to me for my 2nd year. I look forward to more years in CBS and to contribute to its betterment.

Special thanks to Mr. Renato Z. Osmeña, Jr., Casino Filipino Parkmall Satellite Branch manager, and to Holister, Inc. for the food and venue. Photo credit to Vince Delicano.

Birthday Post: 21 on August 21

Time flies very fast. I couldn’t even remember how I wrote my How I Celebrated My 20th Birthday post last year. Now I’m 21 years-old and I’m getting older every day. But not mature.

I had a full-day plan for my birthday, morning til night. As you know, I just acquired a Canon EOS 1000D for me and so Vanjohnn gave me a short photography course at McDonald’s Jones. Vanjohnn treated me for lunch at Ayala Food Choices. Finally, I was able to try the P99-peso bento-like meal of Dimsum Break. After that, we went to try the newly-opened CrePes & Cream — another Vanjohnn treat.

Happy Second Year Anniversary, Cebu Bloggers Society!

Cebu Bloggers Society is one of the Philippines’ premier blogging communities. On February 14, 2010, day of the hearts, Cebu Bloggers Society will celebrate its second year anniversary, on a time we’ll consider as the ‘Golden Age’ of blogging.

In two years, blogging in Cebu has ripened from just being a mere online diary to something that takes an active role in civic and social awareness.

One of the factors that contributed to this positive development in the blogging scene in Cebu is the creation of a local blogging community.

The Cebu Bloggers Society was founded on February 14, 2008, with the main goal of uniting Cebu-based bloggers into a well-bonded community. And indeed, after its creation, individuals with diverse backgrounds but with a common interest, which is to promote Cebu and advocate blogging as a key tool for progress, converged together to establish Cebu’s first and largest blogging community.

The Cebu Bloggers Society has really grown and evolved quite significantly. From its humble beginnings, the group presently has at least 80 members and the number is still bound to increase further.

When I joined the group last February 21, 2009, we were a not-so-big group. And then I saw it grow. Now we’re a very active group, playing many useful roles in society, tapping politics and marketing and a lot more.
