Blogger has improved and so does me!



Its been awhile since I shared a story on this blog. I had a lot of things going on lately. Got websites to develop, audio-visuals to supervise, a new group in Baguio to launch, a new set of ORM prospects, Region 1 expansion, speaking engagements in Baguio, in Vigan and in Eastern Pangasinan plus of course a major client to monitor.

Yeah. I’m not busy after all.

I did this photo supposedly to join a contest but unfortunately, I can’t connect to the internet in our house in Baguio City, so i wasn’t able to upload it. I find it relative to Blogger’s new interface. Its improvement is better for bloggers like me. It is better today than it was yesterday and so I am, too.

We have a lot of things coming up this September. We are going to launch Baguio DigiPreneur Society and we are so excited about it. Baguio is a highly urbanized city and people are very active and highly intelligent there. I believe Baguio ranks “Top 9 in the Cities of the Future.” Wow, it makes it more exciting to be part of a group that innovates the social media landscape in the City of Pines.

Our presence was introduced by an article at the Baguio Midland Courier written by Ms. Liza Agoot.

BMC article published on August 28, 2011

After this, we had series of meetings with prospective clients by the cafe, together with our partner NIIT Baguio led by Vlad Cayabas– its School administrator who is a very active social persona.

We wanted for this very young group to train upcoming bloggers, social media marketers and online community managers for the clientele in Baguio which is ripe for the picking.

The official launch is initially scheduled on September 17, 2011 at NIIT Baguio. Invited are the members of Baguio media community, BDS clients and ICT movers in CAR.

As the Special Projects Group, BDS will handle IT solutions, IT ventures, IT trainings and Digital Projects in the city of Baguio catering to the public and private sector.

For those who wanted to join this very young group — you may contact NIIT Baguio for details.

Cagayan Food Crawl: Promoting the Philippines, One Flavor at a Time

20 restaurants. 10 bloggers. 2 days.  In two days, close to 20 restaurants in Tuguegarao have hosted the bloggers and social media influencers and allowed them to review their best-sellers and must-try dishes. Authentic local cuisines were served, heirloom recipes, the flavors of Cagayan was put to test.  Will the bloggers like it? Will it pass their discriminating palates, will they share the local food stories in the region?  The first-ever Cagayan Food Crawl is a food appreciation tour for bloggers and digital influencers in Northern Luzon. It aims to promote and help the F&B industry in Region 2, Cagayan Valley.  It was held last April 8 and 9, in line with the Department of Tourism’s (DOT) theme - Flavors of The Philippines. The DOT Cagayan Valley Region  supported the said momentous event.  The most exciting part was the warmth of restaurateurs in the area. A total of 60 dishes were served for review. Each has its own characteristic, eac

New Year Beauty Makeover Vibrante-style

I started the year 2013 right. With 2012 being rewarding for me and my family, starting the new year with a blast was just the right move. Armed with my plans for the entire year of personal branding and self improvement, a beauty makeover is in place. But where to have it done was the first question. We had a client that was very serious to penetrate the beauty business in the North and his salon is located in Dagupan. During our taping, I saw how he transformed ordinary faces into glam works of art. Our girls innate beauty were enhanced and emphasized and they all looked gorgeous in the hands of Marcel. Vibrante Salon by Marcel Mendoza is the place to go. I endured the first few days of New Year looking old and less vain. I waited for an appointment at his premiere salon. Vibrante’s services are not for everyone. He created his own niche. Marcel’s regular clients are high end. They belong to the A-list. Yes, he defined his own market. His prices are premium because his serv

This week in Politics and Digital

Wednesday was the start of the work week because of the long holidays declared by the National Government. As many people are spending their holidays somewhere else, many chose to stay at home due to bad weather. Upon return to my beloved province, there was a new project waiting for our team. The I love Pangasinan video, we were to gather video clips from interviewees of different people in Pangasinan. Next our proposed project for the Governor was approved by the Provincial Administrator. Sir Raffy , as he is fondly called is supportive of projects related to information technology. He knows that the society is going also with the digital shift. And an event to showcase all of those things like the Pangasinan Digital ICT Fair is ready to roll out. This event is scheduled on the second week of November at the Capitol Grounds. And then there are Bloopers along the way. Urdaneta refused to accept the tons of trash from Baguio City because allegedly the city can only accomodate 10 t
