Globe One Youth Project Headshot Clinic in CEBU


What: Project Headshot Clinic One Youth (HSC)
When: July 04, 2009 Saturday, 6PM
Where : Club Vudu, Crossroads Mall, Banilad, Cebu City



An overview:
Project Headshot Clinic (HSC) is a brand new concept that merges Profile photos online and Advertising as we see campaigns, advertisements, and advocacies may easily be conveyed through our unique digitized headshots, online profile photos can be potential online billboards. Its major components are: registration, mass shooting, and mass uploading on social network web sites (as profile photo), which make HSC an effective and creative marketing tool. HSC creates curiosity and impact to those who are not yet aware or part of it. It's viral — the HSC phenomenon can attract anyone online — and we hope that you become a part of it.


Will do updates on this event later... sorry for the inconvenience.

Missing My Family


Months had already passed... yet until now, I have not communicated with my family. And now I am missing them so much, that a day won't surely end without me thinking of them especially the memories we've shared together. I miss mommy. I miss daddy. I miss ate. I miss Aldrin. And I miss Balong. I could have communicated with them in any way, but I opted not to... and this is because of an 'unwanted incident' that had happened to me months ago that I don't want them to know or rather I don't want them to be involved.

It's almost July and that 'unwanted incident' happened December of last year, but it seems that it happened just yesterday... and it's killing me. Yes, I know and I've come to learn the fact that my family are the only people in this world who I can always trust, no matter what... but still, at this stage, I have decided not to tell them anything... of what had happened and of what I am currently facing. And in order for me to do this, for me to avoid getting them involve, it is really a must not to communicate with them right now. Maybe after everything's settled but not right now.

Honestly, I feel bad and so down these past few days, and I am certain that only the sound of home would make me feel better. I had always thought that my friends and colleagues would eventually replace the family I had missed way back home... but I was wrong. Nobody can ever replace or surely beat your family and that nothing is like home.

As I spent each day at work and always outdoor, I began to feel sorry for myself, watching the people and the happy neighborhood families around me... And I felt that my life was controlled by the needs of others and that I was losing the right to any personal happiness...

Save the Best for Last



Friendship is one of the hardest thing to keep because somewhere in the middle new friends may come... but despite of this fact, I hope you will still keep me in your heart even if someone better comes.


Sometimes the snow comes down in June
Sometimes the sun goes round the moon
I see the passion in your eyes
Sometimes its all a big surprise
cause there was a time when all I did was wish
You'd tell me this was love
Its not the way I hoped or how I planned
But somehow its enough


To YOU - you know who you are,

I never say it often, but yes, I am grateful for everything especially for the time you spend and continue to share with me... It may not really be that often that we go along together, but for me it's already enough.

You told me before that you are afraid that you may hurt me... indirectly. And that you don't want me to be hurt because I don't deserve to be. These words are the very reason why I continue to be positive and continue to hope that there would still be a better tomorrow in this ironic world we are into... that if we will just keep our faith, somewhere down the road things will all be alright. Just like the saying that we always hear, "GOD make all things beautiful in His time."

... the thought alone that somehow you cared, is already enough for me to hang on and patiently wait. This waiting may surely be for a lifetime, but for as long as I keep this faith, even eternity would surely be a bliss.

For sure you will hurt me and in fact you already did, but that's no big deal to me anymore. But it's not because I am used to it, but instead, it is because I have realized that life as a whole is really not all about happiness... it's not even all about the right things. So please don't worry if you hurt me, I may not really be that ready for it but for sure I would be able to surpass the feeling. Yes, I am still scared but I am trying not to be.

Lately, I have just learned that friendship is the best relationship we could really have right now... We may go in separate ways, live in different ways, believe in different aspects, but for as long as we believe we are friends, we will forever be...

... Let's just save the best for last...

A Message to Dad on His Day



Dad,

I really don't know when was the last time I told you how important you are to me and how much I love you... I can't even remember if I really have told you about it.



Thank you for everything... for your patience, sacrifices and understanding. I know for sure that I have never been a good child to you and mom, and I know how I failed you both. As I am living my own life right now away from all of you, I am starting to realize that from the very start you and mom are right... that life is really not what I thought it was before... that it isn't just easy and simple even how hard you try it to be... that life doesn't just mean my own happiness... Right now, I am learning and realizing all of these. How I wish I have listened to you from the very start, and how I wish I have not been that foolish and stubborn. If only I could turn back the hands of time, I would surely listen to you and understand that the very reason why you keep on correcting me is because you just want the best in me... and for that, I am really grateful.


Dad, I may not have said it often, but how could I let this day go by without saying how much you mean to me and to all of us, to ate, to Aldrin and to Balong. We love our dad with all our heart... and yes, I love you so much Dad. For us, you will always be the greatest dad in the whole world.


I hope I could really tell you all of this in person... but the irony of life really hits us.


I LOVE YOU DADDY! HAPPY FATHERS's DAY!

Those who confirmed are also added in this spreadsheet.

Last year's event is said to be a huge success. And being the first ever bloggers networking event in Cebu City, it was indeed a total blast and participated by more than just a hundred bloggers of different venues... from proBloggers to newbie bloggers, webmasters, websites & community owners, including those who's just new to the industry was there to socialize and network with the same minds and learn from each other’s success. In fact, there were some who just went there to get some new leads from other known names in the Cebu Blogging Industry.

Now that it is on its second year, bloggers like me are expecting that this event would be far more better than the first one... and hopefully, we'll learn more and be inspired more to continue this passion on blogging...

Taken from Cebu Bloggers Society's official website, and on behalf of Cebu Bloggers Society, we would like to share some of the captured moments taken from the first Cebu DigitalFilipino Club & Bloggers Networking event...



We are hoping that you could come and join us to another much-awaited blogging event in the Philippines... See you there!
