Been waiting for this event for so long. Finally, I have already filed my vacation leave to attend this year's Cebu Blog Camp. I'm still new to blogging and attending this blog camp would keep the fire inside me to pursue blogging. After reading this year's programme I decided this one going to be great. Why? Ask me why.

Because I will never regret attending this blog camp. You want specific reasons? Read on.

Photography 101

Just got a new digicam last year. It’s a Canon A3300 IS. I had a hard time browsing the manual to learn my camera settings. I have read somewhere that as the owner I’ve got to learn those settings to maximize my camera’s full usage and of course to get good pictures. This topic would help me a lot to ensure that pictures I attached to my blogs were picture perfect. Who knows after this blog camp I might buy myself a new DSLR camera. Being a blogger and photographer is not a bad idea, is it?

Travel 101

I always dream to travel the whole Philippines, then someday to travel the whole world. I took small steps at a time to achieve that dream. Been hanging out with friends who also love to travel. First, we’ve been roaming the whole island of Cebu (and still roaming – Cebu is so full of wonderful nature spots all of us Cebuano can be proud of). Then my friends and I went to Pagadian, Cagayan de Oro, Bohol, Leyte then our farthest so far – Baguio. Soon we will conquer Hongkong and Singapore. And a lot more places to explore. This topic is interesting to get me ready for our upcoming travel trips, here and abroad. Sounds exciting, isn’t it?

Bloggers’ Etiquette 101

I have been working in a corporate office for quiet sometime. Dealing with big boss and middle management down to the rank and file requires certain codes of behavior on most situations. During meetings, company gatherings, company events. There are certain expectations for social behavior we have to comply. Been wondering since I received this blog camp invitation what was expected for bloggers since I’m a newbie here. Would love to hear this topic.

Janette Toral

The first and only time I met her was when I’m a graduating accountancy student almost eight (8) years ago. She was one of the speakers during our e-commerce seminar which was conducted by FINEX Cebu Chapter in coordination with our school’s JFINEX officers. Then a few months after our seminar I’ve started to read her articles in Sun.Star Cebu. Since I’m not a newspaper enthusiast and had a hard time sitting around to read spreadsheet, I’ve read only a few of her articles. I am glad she’s one of the speakers for this blog camp and I would love to meet her again. Too bad I was not able to make it on last year’s blog camp.

Cebu bloggers

This is obvious. Cebu blog camp is a gathering of Cebu bloggers. And I would love to meet them all. I would love to meet the authors of various blogs I’ve been reading and following. Guess, I will enjoy this blog camp. Great.

The Cebu blog Camp is an event organized annually by the Cebu Bloggers of the Blog and Soul Movement which is the educating leg of the Philippine Blog Awards Inc. which has been running for already four years. This is the largest gathering of bloggers in Cebu.

Another reason why I'm excited to attend this blog camp are the sponsors.
