My First Ever Meet Up with Bloggers
It was a Saturday morning and the day of my first ever meet up with my fellow bloggers. Pehpot, my blogger friend slash neighbor whom I met at my son’s school, was kind enough to invite me and pick me up for the meet up in Trinoma. When the day arrived I was already having second thoughts because I have a deadline on that day and was getting more files to transcribe by the second. I was also hesitant to go out of my comfort zone and meet people I don’t know and whose blogs I don’t frequent. But I have been blogging for more than a year now and the fact that I haven’t met anyone with the same hobby I’m passionate about is really pathetic, plus when I heard that we were going to eat at Kamayan eat-all-you-can style I knew I couldn’t let this opportunity pass. We arrived there and Liz was already there waiting. I think we were almost an hour late and the others were still nowhere in sight. We chatted at McDO while waiting for the others and when we were complete we went to eat. It was four hours of non-stop chatting and eating. It was really interesting to meet these people. We were from different places – I think Niko and Ghie were from Cavite, Beng is from Bulacan, Liz is from Alabama, Fedhz from Quezon City, and Peh and me were from Pasig but we took the time and effort to be there at one place for the essence of meeting people with the same interest and for the sake of friendship. Of course the event won’t be complete without us taking pictures of ourselves. I think we spent a good hour taking pictures of ourselves trying out Peh’s infamous wigs much to the consternation of the people around us. I thought the picture taking would never end but that’s the trademark of us bloggers, isn’t it?
Beng, Ghie, Fedhz
Niko, Liz, Me
Ghie, Fedhz, Peh
