10 years of being a professional IT person, is not the only reason why I am updated, connected and active in the world over the net.  But it gave way for me to explore and access what's available for me out there.  I've been blogging for more or less 7 years now, and I don't intend to stop there.  Internet world has given me so much that it will be a big loss for me to just stop here.  But blogs is just one material that expand my knowledge about things around me and pushed me to (at least try) to stretch my horizon.  The presence of multiple social networking made it possible for me to do it.  Yahoo, LinkedIn, Friendster, Multiply, Christianster, Facebook, Twitter & Plurk are just few of the social networking that gave way for me to re-connect to old familiar faces, to connect to new crowds, to build networks and to extend my territory.  

Everyday, more and more people gets connected over the web, but being connected is not enough.  BE INVOLVE -- is the next step after being connected.  I've been a fan and follower of Janette Toral, and one advantage of being informed is receiving invites and knowing the events that are to come.

Every time I read blogs and see pictures of events from gatherings of bloggers and social networkers, I wonder how does it feel to be one of them, what more can I learn from people whose been there and has done things to make it in the net world.  I know I have the desire, but I lack the knowledge on where to start and how to start.

Fiera de Manila Inc. and DigitalFilipino.com  has open the way for people like me to be not just connected, but be involved.  Social Networking and eBusiness Conference Philippines 2010 is just one of the events I've been wanting to attend and to explore.

I believe that through this event, my goal of extending my horizon is possible and achievable in learning from the people that started just like me. And who knows I might be able to impart and share as well my personal experiences as a blogger and as social networker.


After a decade of being connected, it was recently that I knew that I can earn extra while doing the hobby that I tried to instill in me (blogging) --  choosing the perfect venue, having the perfect subject and meeting a perfect client can lead my hobby to another level.  Blog4Review is a perfect venue for bloggers to exercise your gift of writing (and get paid at the same time) and a perfect venue to be exposed and resound as an advertiser.


My goal to connect and be involve:
1.  Join this contest (and hopes to win) for a free pass(...hehehe).  Make a bold step, attend the event.
2.  Do the extra measure, be a member of clubs that will help you, teach you and lead you to the next step. 
3.  Practice, exercise and expand your territory -- share your thoughts, new ideas and market (and earn at the same time).
