Blogging a Bloggers Blog

Seems I have been on a hiatus (again) but in terms of interacting to fellow bloggers both online and offline , I haven’t blog hopped that much for the past week because of the Sinulog Festival and other stuff XD. Also returned few comments and as a result , well, haven’t interacted with other bloggers that much. Though most of my post are well.. events which is becoming a niche of this blog (yes, this is kinda an event blog but a little bit on the personal side meaning I attended the event itself and make a post about it or a sponsored event by invites from different company in promotion of their products and services (a return of all my blogging XD ).

It is getting to be an event blog or something which is kinda obvious, thought I tried to post events (particularly) all of the time, if ever I was in that event, I always tried my best to interact with my readers (if I have any, lol) and also to fellow bloggers especially those who commented even if it is for the sake of increasing backlinks, traffic, bloghopping or even critics, haha.. Nevertheless, it is still a good way to interact other bloggers.

Just wondering how is your blogging life so far?, seems this is one of my random and useless ramblings but who am I to judge my own blogpost ,haha.. Maybe I can get back on track starting this week or maybe getting a bit of momentum of bloghopping, updating blogpost and post interesting and helpful topics (easier said than done). Cheers!

The Royalty Event

December 8th, 2011 | by Jerminix | entertainment, events, personal

Dec
08

Supposedly the event will be royalty but I rather go in a formal attire rather than dress up or something like that, I know there are a lot of my colleagues are thinking the same thing. But since this is my first royalty event, I choose to wear a bit formal (like a casual royalty prince sort of thing lol..haha ).

The event started of course with intermission numbers , dance/song numbers (those familiar stuff you see in most events , nothing new really ). It is also nice to see some hidden talents you never expected to see coming from unexpected people. There is also the “Star of the Night” contest wherein the person with the most eye catching royalty costume will be chosen as the winner. The winner of that is the one with the ragnarok soldier like type with matching lights which really is deserving with all the setup and props and stuff . But the one who got the most attention was the “Arabian loyalty” guy with 2 bodyguards (also employees) roam around the stage and people just screaming for fun for the simple but unique idea, too bad he didn’t won XD.

The highlight primarily of the event is the Group presentation contest wherein different departments presented their royalty themed presentations which they have to battle it out in front of the crowd with their stage presence, entertainment abilities and with audience impact participation. It was an entertaining show with all the gags and laughs and again, too bad, our department didn’t won:/

And after that is of course the food, though I didn’t want to include food reviews here but I just can’t let this passed by, for a big hotel here in Cebu, I expected their food to be somewhat tasty, but to my disappointment, it was not at tasty at all (maybe a little to harsh) but that is the point. I mean it was a buffet dinner and there were lots of choices but most of them didn’t taste that great (tasteless, iced tea was like a medicine), in fact one of my colleagues said that the food was like in a hospital (kinda tasteless). I was also assuming that their chef is a foreigner so that’s why the food is not what we used to taste (lame reason really).

Anyways, another reason why I went to the event is because of the raffle draws (who wouldn’t want to win eh), but it seems my luck in raffle draws has run out and then again, I didn’t win anything.. :/

Overall it was a great event, I don’t know if we will have this again next year. It also a very good way to end the year with all the work done throughout the calendar

Jerminix Live in Manila!

November 30th, 2011 | by Jerminix | adventure travel, personal

Nov
30

The day has finally come to conquer yet elusive place in my list . I already have many opportunities to go to Manila before but was all cancelled. Now I have successfully visited the place and it is done and what to do about it? of course post pictures in FB, Twitter, Foursquare and yes blog about it.

Since it is my first time in Manila, my review will be swift and fast, lol.. first day was a real drag because I was up the entire night before the flight. Our schedule was early 4am in the morning so I have to be up the entire night because if I will sleep, it is almost impossible to wake me up at that time (even if I have an alarm clock).

So feeling like a zombie in the Airport, I was able to get in the flight earlier than expected and arrived at the destination early in the morning. Since it was still early in the morning and the malls are not yet open (one of my missions ), we stayed in the apartelle with my brother, ermats and sis in law.

My first trip was in Dusit Thani in Makati, it is really true that there are so many very tall buildings there, though it is the big version here in Cebu Ayala Business Park, it is still amazing to see those tall skyscrapers and there are still other ongoing construction.

These are the different types of Christmas tree I found in the Dusit Thani Hotel, I think it was featured in the Television. I was really like a photo whore taking any photos everywhere as long as it within my eye sight and my lens sight.

There are also performances from students with their Filipino cultural dance. It was one of longest and most variety of performances by a single group I mean they can play musical instrument, dance more than 6 I thinks performance and some of them can sing well and they all came from one school.

The rest of the event was really fun with all the good food and stuff (Too bad we didn’t win the raffle). I think that will be for my first day trip, I will post the next part soon, just want to update something here as I am nearing again to a hiatus mode (4-5 days gap) is my hiatus timeline .
