It was barely a year ago when I
traveled to Alabang, Muntinlupa City for a writing workshop. Well,
much to my surprise. One of the event organizers invited me to go
there despite having some personal shenanigans earlier that day.
That was also my first time to travel
to the southern part of the metro alone, as bloggers Health Junkie
and Not Your Ordinary Mum teamed up to organize a workshop intended
for feature writing, and it's all held inside the Hog's Breath Cafe
in Festival Supermall, Alabang.
And really, it's fun to walk along the
Ayala Alabang area despite the stormy weather; just exploring the
whereabouts of the vicinity. Seriously, it's been like more than one
decade and a half since the very last time I stepped foot at one of
these places. Heck, South Superhighway wasn't even that wide yet.
And just when I thought I was late for
the event, I am barely wrong. Millie Manahan and Tonette Nicolas
welcomed me there and off I had a seat with fellow participants with
pens sponsored by Faber Castell and some of the delectable food from
the venue itself. South Snippets also took part in making this event
possible.
Irene Enriquez talked about finding
your unique blogging voice, while Angeline Rodriguez, the Managing
Editor of When In Manila shared her journey of her writing career and
gave several 101s on how to land a writing gig.
Also, one of the popular veterans
Azrael Coladilla also shared his journey as a blogger, and also gave
tops on how to lure sponsoring brands to your website.
The event was quite small in terms of
participants, but considered a success with all of us enjoying the
discussions, insights, plus the food, despite the rainy Saturday
afternoon.
And it's funny but a heck of an
experience in finally meeting PopAzrael, one of the bloggers I looked
upon to since getting involved in the blogging events scene.
