My First BLOGAPALOOZA Experience


"To Blog = To Share, To Connect, To Create, To Inspire"

It was my very first Blogapalooza event last Saturday October 11, 2014 at SM Aura's Convention Hall. It was really fun! And I don't even know how to start this post because there were a lot of pictures and I felt so overwhelmed with a lot of things going on, on the said event. Plus this is my first blog event ever! (Certified blogger na ba 'ko? He He He)

To learn more about Blogapalooza click my previous post here.

Let's start!

When I heard that the Blogapalooza was rescheduled, I was happy because I will be able to attend. But on second note I realized that it will be a tiring day! It was the same date with our year end party at our company. So I need to go at SM Aura early to finish going to the booths in 2-3 hours. I was really wrong. Why? I didn't realized that there were so many booths! Hindi ko nga napuntahan yung iba. And I wasn't able to join the raffles and contest. Well I still had fun even in a short period of time. Next time dapat whole day na ko! Ha Ha Ha! I also regretted not having a calling card. I only knew it the night before so I don't have time to prepare na.
