Fiel and Ren at the Pond’s Event
Ren: “Ponds” and “Taste Asia”? Seems to be an uncanny combination, but the event itself seems to be pulled off quite nicely. The motif being pink, I was shivering at the pinkness, but they pulled it quite nicely with lights giving people good environment to mingle with other bloggers. With food by Taste Asia you just can’t go wrong with the choices of food they have right there. But it was more of a ladies event so I, being male, couldn’t participate much and couldn’t win the supposed Iphone that was up for grabs. Still the event gave a good venue for new bloggers to learn about other bloggers aside from the online side (ahahaha…) Oh and we were able to make a new friend Christa Uymatiao.
Fiel: It was interesting to be at a bloggers’ event for the first time – and more interesting so were the people I met! There was the organizer who did a pretty good job - Aileen Apolo of Google Philippines. Just look at the pic - see how nice and different Taste of Asia was in accordance to its sponsor Pond’s on this day. There was Jane Uymatiao and her daughter Christa, a fellow Atenean student yey! They are damn good writers actually and I’d highly recommend their blogs Here’s to Life! and A doll’s mask, unmasked – both are interesting and worthwhile reads for anyone. Lastly there were the Mall of Asia Management guys specifically Mr. Karlo Magtira, Brand Officer – I did some formal card magic for them and they seemed to be entertained. They told me they were interested to get me for MOA in order to promote the place. I hope it works out between me and them!

RJ: I wanted to go but I was kinda in the Middle East. Darn!
