August 23 marked two firsts: my first time to go to the Mall of Asia, and my first “major” blog meet. I’ve attended a couple of blog events before, but never with over 400 bloggers!<\/p>\n

\nThank you, Clique Booth<\/a>!<\/span><\/div>\n

It was really overwhelming; I found myself suddenly getting shy and anti-social, as I do in huge gatherings. On the otherhand, it was great to meet other Pinoy travel bloggers: Anton of Our Awesome Planet<\/a>, Eric of Byahilo.com<\/a>, Ivan Man Dy of the Old Manila Walks<\/a>, and THE Ivan Henares of Ivan About Town<\/a>. Oh, and counted din daw si<\/em> Aileen Apolo<\/a> because she has a travel blog<\/a>. Heehee. It was also great to see and chat with Chris<\/a> & Apples Haravata. Mr. Chris told me about his month long backpacking trip to Hong Kong several years ago. A month! In HK! Living in a tent! Yeah, I don’t think I can do that.<\/p>\n

Taste Asia II was held to announce the winners of the SM Hypermarket Blog Writing Contest<\/a>. AnitoKid won the Kuala Lumpur trip with his heartfelt entry<\/a>, with Anton close behind with his 8 reasons why he and his family loves SM Hypermarket<\/a>.<\/p>\n

My favorite part in this whole shindig? Free photos from the CliqueBooth<\/a>! (OMG they’re using the same WP theme!)
