WooThemes MasterCard

Blogie — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 17:37:51 +0000

I now have my very own WooThemes.com MasterCard! About two months ago, I applied for this debit card at WooThemes, the creators of my favorite WordPress magazine, business, CMS & blog themes. The card (as well as the online bank account) is part of their affiliate program, and can be used to receive earnings [...]

wp-moleskine

Blogie — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 15:57:56 +0000

I got my first ever Moleskine today! I’d long wanted one, because — for me — nothing beats the feel of pen on paper when jotting down thoughts and ideas, and a Moleskine is the legendary medium for such. The cost of owning one always got in the way, though… But thanks to Automattic, I’m [...]

BlogWatch

Blogie — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 10:26:27 +0000

There’s a new “new media” publication in town — BlogWatch.ph, and I feel very privileged to be a part of it. BlogWatch, which was launched last 24 November in Makati, is a worthy undertaking that aims to provide news and commentary in the proven style of traditional journalism but with the flair of “Web 2.0″. [...]

Rarin’ for the outdoors

Blogie — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 15:35:29 +0000

For some years now I’ve been following a rather sedentary lifestyle, due mostly to my blogging and Internet-based involvements. I do get to go out and meet people a lot — and I’ve been busy with a couple of major events — but I’ve not been engaging in truly active stuff lately. It’s a wonder [...]

“Technology drives the modern world, and the Philippines is fast becoming a technology-driven society. Tech-savvy Filipinos desire the latest and coolest devices, from mobile phones to digital cameras to flat-screen TVs. For these enthusiasts and buyers, Consumer Electronics Live! Manila is the premiere technology event of the year. CEL Manila is the first and the [...]

Air Supply @ GenSan

Blogie — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 07:36:51 +0000

My long-time friend, Avel Manansala of General Santos City, invited me to be one of the judges for his blog contest, What Air Supply Song Are You? (creative, don’t you think?). So I dutifully read through around 20+ entries, thinking inwardly that it was going to be at least amusing. Air Supply was (probably) all the [...]

New blog on WordPress evangelism

Blogie — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 21:31:40 +0000

I was having my favorite cup o’ joe over at Kangaroo Coffee about a couple of months ago when I was struck by an idea for a domain name. Checking if it was still available, I couldn’t believe but was very delighted that wp-evangelist.com was still up for grabs! So I acquired it right then [...]

WordCamp PH2009 and other events

Blogie — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 15:50:03 +0000

It’s a truly exhilarating experience after having put together two successful WordCamp Philippines events! The preparations for the second WordCamp in the country, held in Makati City last 19 September, was actually stressing me out to the point that I wasn’t getting my bread-and-butter work done properly the last couple of months. But, with the [...]

In Makati now

Blogie — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 15:00:15 +0000

I arrived in Makati today, with WordCamp Philippines 2009 organizing teammates, Chattee & Jaime. The two other members of the team, Lyle & Brendel, will be arriving this Friday. The last time I was in the nation’s capital was many months ago, so before diving into work, I spent time with my siblings, Jake & [...]

09-09-09

Blogie — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 11:11:10 +0000

9th of September 2009, a day of no particular significance other than its nifty abbreviation: 09-09-09. Come to think of it, this kind of date contraction comes only once every hundred years. To celebrate 09-09-09, I did 9 noteworthy things today: (1) I started a major online project; (2) bought a new domain that I [...]
