Today, I did two WordPress-related things. First, I upgraded my blog to version 2.6 — thanks to Dreamhost for making this easier for me with just one click — and I registered for the 1st WordCamp Philippines, an event brought to us by the Mindanao Bloggers.
When I found out this morning that I have to write a post about the WordCamp I honestly hesitated for a bit (coz I was lazy). Then I realized that the event is completely free and writing this post is the least I can do for them. Heh. Beggars can’t be choosers. :P And I do love WordPress to bits!
The first WordCamp Philippines will be on September 6, 2008 at the Augusto-Rosario Gonzalez Theater in the College of St. Benilde (Taft Ave., Manila). Both WordPress and non-WordPress users are encouraged to come. The following are the topics that the organizers are considering:

This is one blogger event that I definitely don’t wanna miss! See you in September! Sign up today. :)

buti nalang malapit lang ang pgh if i start to hemorrhage because of all the techie terms…
tarits: haha! tara. register ka. :)
I definitely want to go too Joni! Pero kahit free yung event, mas mahal yung babayaran ko sa air fare. Haha.
Sayang. Magaganda pa naman yung mga topics! :)
McBilly: Sayang din..pangita ka na lang sang ma-sponsor sa imo. Your mom, maybe? hehe. The trip might be worth it! ;-)
OMG!! I wanna go here! Pero narealize ko it’s during the days of my term break! Kaya pala bigla akong napaisip na ‘bakit sa CSB? eh diba maraming tao doon lagi?’ yun pala term break!
Ui… school ko yan! Hahaha! I’m going to sign up kahit walang assurance na I’ll go. Malay mo gusto ko i-enjoy yung 6 days of vacation ko, malay natin magsawa ako agad sa 4th day ng vacation tapos maisipan ko lumabas to get some fresh air. XD
Thanks so much for this, hindi ko yan alam eh ngayon ko lang nalaman!
Haha. Yeah. But aside from the trip yung schedules din. Hehe.
Anyway, I’m going to go there in Manila next week Joni and I organized a little blog meetup. Hehe. It’s dated July 27, Sunday at 7pm (dinner) in SM Megamall.
Available ka ba? Haha.
Full details at my blog. I also made a little contest to give away a Bench Blackout ticket. You might be interested! Haha. :D
GEEKGASMS!!! I want a pic with Matt! :D
Helga: I want a pic with Matt too!!! ♥ ♥ ♥
Anna: kitakits ha! I-sacrifice mo na ang one day for this event.. hehe. :)
I wanna go Jon’!! hehe Have to think about it pa.. Maybe I won’t be here in Pinas na that time.
Weeee! :) Gusto ko din pa-picture kay Matt.
wohoy, it’s so near sa ‘men. I’m so there! :)
