Finally! A chance for me to learn more about WordPress!I’ve been using WordPress and I know, I need to update this version and work on the appearance of my site already.Artz used to do this for me, but he’s been busy with his business, got married to MG and they now have a son. Jozzua was my first teacher but has been busy with work, will get married soon to Elaine and pretty soon they’ll also have kids. Oh yes, I’m very, very happy for them! Thus, I really, really want and need to be at WordCamp!

What: WordCamp Philippines 2008
When: September 6, 2008
Where: College of St Benilde, Taft Avenue, Manila
WordCamp is made possible by the following sponsors:
I’ve forgotten that I still lack 3 more blogs to my list of Influential Bloggers for 2008. I checked the entries, reviewed the list and pick the following:
SamJuan - mga kwento ni samjuan, sino man, tungkol kanino man, kahit saan, kahit kailan, salamat walang anuman “Stories by samjuan, anyone, whatever, wherever, whenever, thanks but no thanks” - witty, makes sense, informative and yes, really entertaining. Another plus? It’s in our native dialect! More power samjuan! May I be a “sambuddy” too?
Technograph - Want to be updated in gadgets, dowloadables and technology? And, pertinent news about it too.
Davao Delicious - Again, who doesn’t want food? I’ve always been a fan of Davao, and yes, I really, really want to go back and enjoy all of these! More power Blogie!
Well, that’s it! Congratulations Janette for another wonderful project!
Congratulations to all bloggers who have been included in the list!
I look forward to meeting some of you at the eyeball this August 11.
Part of my plan for the year is to be able to go back to Davao and be able to make things work for my network (both Absolute Traders and Entreplink) out there. I’ve been to Davao (4 times already) before but didn’t really get to enjoy my stay there. So I need to do this!
My Absolute Traders bunch started holding seminars in Cebu last year and we’ll have our 6th batch this August. We went to Iloilo last week and started our campaign over there with PSE and Regina Capital. Works in Batangas and Laguna are being organized by other colleagues already so I am going to work with - Davao!
Now, got to have a checklist to make this work:
- Check on existing Davao based stock brokers (both live and online)
- Look for relatives, friends, former colleagues and of course, bloggers!
- Look for different community / yahoo groups / forums with interest in financial markets – investing, trading, stock market, forex and other investment vehicles, business community and members of the academe
- Seminar Venue
- Affordable hotel in Davao city
- Check with the Philippine Stock Exchange marketing team for plans of roadshows too
- Look for possible speakers / collaborators
- Finalize date
- book tickets
I do believe that there’s a market out there for our services. So I will work on being able to push through with a primer at least.
And of course, I am looking forward to enjoying what Davao has to offer the local tourists. Yup, make things work and enjoy my stay - at an Affordable hotel in Davao City!
