What makes me excited is that I am going to meet and greet my blogging idols Aileen Apollo and Janet Toral to name a few. There are lots of blog that I read and like. In fact I have them in my Google Reader to keep me updated. Those blogs are the reason why I named this blog “Awatiro”. I am proud to say that I am ‘Awatiro‘ , the second rate trying hard blogger. But then I do not consider myself as a blogger because I blog not very often. I attend events and take photos but then I can’t post them here immediately. Too bad ;(

Meanwhile, I have read the 3rd Mindanao Bloggers Summit program and it excites me more. Blog Advertising and Make Money Online will be tackled during the event. Wow!, I am starting to imagine a paycheck now $$$$$ whew!!! My registration fee will be a little investment to a bigger opportunities then. I should not worry about it because I can get it back.  I think I will have a good time bonding with other bloggers. Yeah, bonding moments with them and I will make “kulit” questions by then to know their blogging secrets and how to be a better blogger. I’m hoping tips and tricks would slip from their tongues ehehehehehehe

I am torn between White Water Rafting or The City Tour in Cagayan de Oro package tours bundled with the registration of the event. I haven’t tried the river adventure but then the City Tour will be a lot more fun to mingle with other bloggers. Sigh!, ahhhmmmm. Halp! pleys! Halp!

In fairness, CDO Bloggers managed to list and posted almost all of the places to stay in CDO. This would be a big help to those participants to book their hotels easier. If ever you need help in choosing your accommodations, drop me an email at awatiro[@]gmail.com. I might suggest other cheap and nice places.

To all the bloggers out there, check your schedules and calendars and if you’re free on October 24, 2009, come and join the 3rd Mindanao Bloggers Summit here in Cagayan de Oro City!

Not knowingly, my blog posts here helps in recovering the negative image of Mindanao. The blog posts somehow adds more topics for Search Engines to feed on. As what I undestood that every good post pertaining to Mindanao will give a balance to those not so good to hear news about the image of Mindanao.

This coming October 24, 2009, Mindanao Bloggers (that I think I am one of them!) will be having the biggest blogging event and that is the Mindanao Bloggers Summit 3. It will be the biggest gathering of Bloggers from all over the Philippines who blogs about Mindanao and those bloggers who loved Mindanao.

There will also be another event for bloggers (like me) which is the Philippine Blog Awards.

The Philippine Blog Awards, the first of which was held around the same time that the Mindanao Bloggers Community came into existence, is embarking on a grander and more meaningful undertaking this year. In order to make the Awards a truly Filipino experience, PBA2009 is going to be a nationwide effort, with Regional Awards to be held in Mindanao and the Visayas.

The theme of this year’s PBA is One Blogging Nation.
