My first nuffnang event

It looks like I was really destined to attend my first Nuffnang sponsored event last night. After cancelling the RSVP invitation when I realized that it is in conflict with my class schedule, I soon had to frantically retract it back after our professor cancelled our class as well. So last night, I eventually ended somewhere in Makati but my school. By 6pm, I was already in Bonifacio High Street, for the PLDT MyDSL Watchpad Live! event.

 

The event which was held at Mag:net Cafe was attended mostly by lucky bloggers (like me who got free invites), PLDT and Nuffnang Philippines bosses and staffs, and several celebrities and artists. Hosted by famous lady drifter, Pia Boren (whom I confirmed does look a lot like Hollywood actress Kirsten Dunst), it was meant to showcase and promote PLDT’s latest service for its MyDSL subscribers. Watchpad is an online service that conveniently enables one to watch, blog, chat and share, all at the same time. Visit www.pldtwatchpad.com for more info how to avail and use it.

The night where glowing laptops and ice-cold beers met woulnd’t have been complete if I didn’t get the chance to interact with fellow bloggers. At my table, I had a chat with partners Angelo and Christine Litton of HitABargain.com and Jonas Roque of the Facebuko.com that seems to be gaining popularity and recognition. I was also able to talk to the petite and bubbly Patty Dayrit of Patriciaspot and I likewise met the enterprising Jhong Relativo who is the owner of Kakikayan. Of course, other than the geeky stuffs (no pun intended), the 3-hour party was made lively with Mag:net’s Rockeoke night (normally done during Mondays) where audiences get to jam along with the band, The Johnnies. Unfortunately, the band’s loud music prevented me from going around the jam-packed bar to meet and talk to more bloggers. Anyway, I think it was a good night and there will be more I guess. Thanks again Nuffnang! (And a big thank you to Tina Gerolaga for not crossing me out of the list upon my cancellation.)

It’s a small world after all. One of those who made rounds to entertain the guests was Eric from Nuffnang and while chatting, led him to ask me my most dreaded question, “Where do you work?” After answering, Intel, he blurted, “Oh, my foosball table was from there!” Ti abi. Now, I know who got that most coveted table. Hahaha. Lucky you.

Foosball addicts, stalk this guy.
