iBlog5: The 5th Philippine Blogging Summit
May 9, 2009
Like I said the previous day, I had to be at U.P. Malcolm Theater (where iBlog5 was held) by 8AM to do some volunteer work. Considering that I usually sleep at 6AM, I had to come without having had any. I thought I was going to help out in the food distribution but seeing that there was still no food when I arrived at 7:30AM, I helped prepare the bloggers’ kits instead. It was energizing to be somewhat “exercising” early this Saturday morning.
That’s me trying to pose for a quick shot while doing some volunteer work.
Come 9:30AM, I went inside the theater coz I wanted to catch the speakers. The following was the schedule of this event:
