Yesterday, I went to the De La Salle University-Manila to attend this event. I was so psyched because I will get to see two of my favorite bloggers, Camille Co and Saab Magalona! I also got to meet two other bloggers Anton Diaz and Rob Cham. Christian San Jose didn’t make it so Rob Cham (robcham.com) took over. It was really a fun learning experience for me.

So this is Rob Cham. This is the only clear shot I have of him (I brought the wrong lens!) Anyway, he’s such a funny guy. I love his voice. He told us the story of how he started out as a blogger, how fat he was during high school, and how he is fun-employed now. He was with his girlfriend, Patrice (poeticallystupid.tumblr.com), and I must say that they are the cutest couple ever! I was seated right behind them so I was able to see how sweet they are to each other.

The next speaker was Anton Diaz. I’m not able to post the pictures that I took as they are over 5MB. I’m still figuring out how to lower the size but, maybe next time. Lol. So I was really amazed by him because blogging really opened a lot of opportunities for him. He gets to eat and travel a lot because of this! It’s like his job is to have fun. Me gusta. I also admire his love for his wife, kids, and of course, the Philippines. He’s so awesome!

The third speaker is Ms. Camille Co. The first time I saw her, I was speechless. She is so tall, so beautiful, so model-esque! Her fashion sense is so awesome! Her skin is so worthy of its own commercial! I was surprised to find out that she doesn’t get to shop nowadays because her sponsors always give her free stuff to endorse. Wow. Don’t you wish you had your own sponsors? Gosh.

The fourth and last speaker was the reason I attended this event. Ms. Saab Magalona. The moment she entered the room, I was totally starstruck. She is so beautiful! She is so funny and spontaneous. She told us how she got into the world of blogging and all her past teen angst. Lol. I love the fact that even though she is a celebrity blogger, she still considers her young readers when it comes to accepting endorsements. She didn’t accept an offer for an alcoholic beverage brand because she didn’t want to be a bad influence. She drinks, yes. But she will not promote it. Awesome! Gosh, she’s pretty.

After all the speakers received their certificate, everyone went to the lobby of the Yuchengco hall for the meet and greet. I feel so lucky I was able to take my picture with Camille Co and Saab Magalona! Thank you to my bestfriend, Shayne (woahsomeshong.tumblr.com) for taking them and also coming with me to the event!

So this is me with Saab. :”> Hi everyone, yes, this is me. Lol. Hi.

This is me and Shayne with Camille Co. We felt so intimidated by her height. We should have worn sky-high heels. Lol.

Anyway, the purpose of the Bloggers Congress is to gather bloggers everywhere and spread the word for a very special day, October 15. Their office will send us an email to talk or blog about a certain issue our world is facing. This October 15 event is said to be worldwide. Bloggers are everywhere and can increase awareness by doing their thing, blogging. So far, I’ve received no email from them so I’ll just wait for it and post it some other time.
