Blogging Frenzy

I was in General Santos City late last month for the Tuna Festival.  My group, Avatar Media, was already very busy with WordCamp Philippines 2010 preparations but three of us managed to get a couple of days off to be one with the  Generals in celebrating the 42nd Charter Day Anniversary of their beloved city.

We arrived around lunchtime of September 24, Friday.  My good friend Avel took us to the  beach (sorry, I can’t remember the name) for a quick stop at the LGU-GenSan Family Day.  There, we met Sox Blogger Ric Dumalay and Mayor Darlene Antonino-Custodio.  We also grabbed a few bites, just enough to whet our appetites for our next stop — lunch at Harvey’s.

Last Friday, we had the Kadayawan Bloggers’ Networking Event at Jose Rafael Fine Coffee.

Held at the coffee shop’s Lanang branch, the Kadayawan Bloggers’ Networking Event was also for the benefit of Pens of Hope- an outreach program that helps address the scarcity of writing materials in the country.  Avatar Media, the event organizers, encouraged the attendees to bring their donations of pens, pencils, notebooks, and other writing material for the beneficiaries of Pens of Hope.

We were up early for the 2nd day of the SoCCSKSarGen Summer Safari. I’m not used to getting up at 6:00 am but since ours was a very tight schedule,  I dragged myself out of bed.

By 7:00 am, we left Ice Castle Experience and were on our way to our first stop for the day, to have breakfast at the magnificent Dolores Farm Resort in Polomolok, South Cotabato.  I have been to the resort before so I knew that my companions will surely love the place.
