My First #Blogapalooza Experience

It has been almost a month now since I attended my first ever #Blogapalooza experience at SM Aura Convention Center.  Until now, I seem to have not gotten over it, not to mention the fact that I have been haunted with loads of information and freebies that I took home that night.  In fact, I am so much looking forward to attending the succeeding Blogapalooza events, if given the chance..

my passport to the world of opportunities

I could still remember that I started my day on November 16, 2013 with getting myself ready for the event.  I was running late already and I decided not to avail of the GrabTaxi promo as I was just less than 10 minutes from the venue then.  Too bad, I would have been able to experience this innovative way of taking damsel-in-distress (especially!) out from those too long taxi queues in the metro.  Good thing, I have their app installed in my smartphone as I might find the need to use it sometime soon.

my soft gel nail polish

I believe I was one of the first few bloggers who arrived early at the event as I was the second lucky gal to get pampered of a soft gel nail polish treatment from Lulu Nails and Dry Bar.  I swear, my pussy red-color nail polish lasted for almost three weeks!  And I must say, while I was having my nails done, Mikey Bustos passed by and gave me his sweetest smile.  Donning an angel costume, he said he just had a fight with Satan. Hehehe!

Food and drinks were practically overflowing that day.  While I was still drinking a cup of coffee from the famous Figaro coffee shop, I was offered to taste the slimming Nice Day coffee.  I got to taste two different coffee varieties in a day!  What more, I took home with me a Brownbag fresh hand crafted coffee, which by the way, is so aromatic that I got used to smelling it every now and then.

i should have filled up this plate to the brim. lol!

And as if that was not enough, I gulped on a wheatgrass juice which, surprisingly, tasted yummy.  I later learned that I drank the honey flavor.  I also got to munch on delectable foodies from Plato Wraps, Chef's Noodles, Hungry Juan,  Gavino's Donuts, Chooks to Go, and of course, lunch courtesy of Flavours of China.

I was fortunate also to try a machine from N.Y. Theraspine which vibrating motion stimulates healthy body.  Accordingly, only two of said machines can be found in the country - one in St. Lukes Hospital and the other, in N.Y. Theraspine.

The Mind Museum at the event also offered trivia games.  Although I was not able to give the right answer, still I was happy enough.  I will be visiting The Mind Museum soon, courtesy of The Mind Museum! ;)

I'm also excited to use the discount coupons and membership card distributed by enjoy philippines.  I just  wished I had won their trip to boracay giveaway. :(

Megaworld, Gurkka, Fujidenzo, PRC, Inc., Slenda, Lazerxtreme, RichPrime Global, Inc., among others, gave also their share of freebies.  Many thanks to them!

Lastly, embarrassing at it may seem, I admit, I learned to use Twitter because of Blogapalooza.  Thanks to the organizer, wheninmanila.com, for giving me the opportunity to get encouraged (special mention to the speakers) in honing more of my blogging skills.  Congratulations on your successful endeavor and more power! :)

kudos and thanks to you, Vince!
