OMG!!! I'm In! Again!!!

I just got this screenshot message from my email:

I can't contain my excitement!!!  That's just more than a month away from now!  OMG!!!

This will be my 3rd time to attend the Blogapalooza.  This time, on November 18, 2017, it will be in City of Dreams Manila.  The 1st one was in SM Aura about four years ago.  The 2nd one was in One Esplanade about two years ago.  And now! OMG!!!

And I'm Invited!!!

I could not believe it!  My blog was one of the first 150 blogs lucky enough to be invited to an exciting event!

Lots of surprises and entertainment await fellow bloggers and businesses who will be attending the Blogapalooza 2013 on November 16, 2013 at SMX Aura.  In fact, one of the early perks is that one can get a "cash back refund" on a cab ride to Blogapalooza just by properly following the step-by-step instructions provided.  Isn't that a treat?!

Blogapalooza is essentially a "B2B" - Business to Blogger networking event.  It's a link between big and small businesses who have something cool to share and the online community of people who love to share.

So, what are you waiting for?!  If interested, sign up on or before 5pm tomorrow, November 15, 2013.   For questions, tweet @Vince Golangco or email Vince@WhenInManila.com.

The Waiting Game..

Finally, I was able to visit SM Aura for the very 1st time.  The mall, by the way, is just a few minutes away from where I live.   If not for their 3-day sale which started last October 4 and ended today, October 6, I would have deferred my trip to some other weekend.  I was disappointed however when only a few of the high-end shops in there participated in what I term as "over 50% off" sale.  Nonetheless, my visit was not put in vain when I learned that Sony has a branch at the 4th floor of the mall.  I thought to myself, maybe this would be my chance to buy my most long-awaited phone...

I somehow expected to find a display of Sony Xperia Z1 at their store.  But then I already know that, that possibility would be remote considering that I heard nothing of any news of the recent launching of the latest product of Sony Xperia here in Metro Manila.  True enough, the salesman told me that the phone is not yet available.  To my dismay, I would have to wait for 1st week of November or perhaps on the 2nd week or who knows when.

I admit I'm getting tired of waiting.  I read from an internet article that Sony Xperia Z1 would be available here in the Philippines within the month of October.  It was already launched in Singapore last October 4 and earlier in Malaysia.  If Sony would have to postpone its launching here in the country, I'm afraid I might lose my appetite for the phone and probably shift my attention somewhere..
