I’ll be going to the 5th Philippine Blogging Summit (iblog5) this Saturday, May 9, at the Malcolm Theater of the UP College of Law, UP Diliman. The event is from 9 AM-5 PM and there will be an after party, where the venue will be announced on Saturday.

I won’t make it on time since I’d be helping Ada move some stuff but I’m hoping I’d get there by lunch so as not to miss anything. I’m also pretty excited that Hannah’s going to introduce me to some of the other bloggers there. I haven’t been able to mingle around that much with other bloggers and I’d like to take this opportunity to do that especially with the over 500 bloggers already registered. So if you want to go mingle around with bloggers, please attend the iblog5 event on Saturday all right?
