After reading Joni’s post about the upcoming WordCamp Philippines 2008 organized by the Mindanao Bloggers this September 06, 2008, I just had to do my research.

I found out that this event is going to be held at my school, De La Salle - College of St. Benilde (Taft Avenue, Manila) at the Augusto - Rosario Gonzales Theater (which is located on the 5th floor of the main building, if I may add). And even more cooler, the event day falls under my term break! Perfect timing, great! Hahaha, so without any further hesitation I looked for the registration link and poof I was on my way to getting to an event that’s all about WordPress! Web Developing as well, hahaha!

I invited some of my friends to attend as well, I hope they will come! As much as I love to go to the event, I wouldn’t want to learn all these new stuff alone. May I encourage you, then? And just in case you, my dear reader, is curious.. Non-WordPress users can also come, Non-Bloggers can come as well! But where do you fit in? If you’re a web developer, the event is also going to tackle on Web Developing stuff so there you go.

According to the site, here’s their tentative topics to be discussed:

• Blogging 102 - Basics & Beyond
• Other Ways to Use WordPress
• Video and Mobile Blogging
• Cascading Style Sheets
• Blog Monetization
• Migrating to WordPress
• Organizing / Optimizing Your WordPress Blog
• Advanced WordPress Management
• Developing WP Plugins / Best Practices in PHP Coding
• Designing WP Themes
• WordPress & SEO
• WordPress E-commerce Site
• Configuring & Deploying WordPress MU
• Developing WP Aggregator Sites
• WordPress Security / Anti-Hacking Techniques
• WP Development Ethics
• Microformats

I know it sounds so geekish of me, but I cannot wait to learn new things about those! I am 100% sure it’s going to help me in my course sooner or later. September 6 is the big day, hope to see some of my regular visitors on that day! It’s also a way to meet up with you guys, haha!

Oh, oh!! I heard Matt Mullenweg, the creator of Wordpress is going to be there!!! Lol. Geekery moment!11!111!!!

I hope this event won’t be as boring as Graphika Manila ‘07. Sorry to say but it really bore me. Okay at first but me and my friend couldn’t wait to get out. But I wanted to see the presentation of this one graphic design company who was responsible for Pupil’s Set Me Apart music video so I stayed behind when my friend left early, rofl. I can’t even remember the name of the company anymore — screw me. No, I don’t know if I’m going to attend GM ‘08.

I barely attend blog gatherings on real life so this’ll be my very first! Hoping to have fun.. and be supported with my friends and *cough*Blockmates, school friends*cough* since it’s gonna be held on our school.

This event wouldn’t be possible without the lovely sponsors *drumroll*

I will shoot people who hasn’t heard of this band. HAHA! Jk. Exemptions only to the foreign readers of my blog.

I know a lot of people, especially the ‘hardcore’ fans of OPM music have waited LONG enough for this kind of thing to happen. Who knew it would be even possible?? Well, as long as we’re alive, there’s hope and nothing’s impossible (Hahah, whut?!). The news first started circulating as rumors in the internet world¹ and no one was really sure if the news was correct or even reliable to be given a 2nd look at.

I myself didn’t pay any attention to it when I saw it, my initial thought was ‘When will these fans move on and just enjoy the new music by the members of the Eraserheads? Can’t they just respect them and move on?’ Yeah that sounds harsh and ignoramus of me but I seem to be apathetic with the whole reunion issue of this band because it just never stops. There are people who still wishes for them to get back together and make ‘real music’ again. I don’t know if I’m one of them but I’m ‘over it’. I stopped hoping and if I want my dose of Eraserheads, I’d play and listen to their songs on my iPod — problem/sentimental shit solved. Oh God, please don’t throw tomatoes at me or something.

So after a week after knowing this rumor to be true, I’m still not that convinced.. I’m still “Oh. Okay. Big yey!” But no reactions like the ff.: OMG THEY ARE GETTING TOGETHER AGAIN, I MUST BE IN FRONT111!!!!11!!, I WILL SAVE MY MONEY FOR REALZZZ!

Official summary of the whole concert + rumors on PhilMusic.com’s article — The Eraserheads Reunite - And this time, they’re Smokin’ . I’m really lazy to elaborate everything and I feel like a broken record keeping on saying the same thing, haha!

The gist of the concert? It’s all on the poster! Which you can use to advertise, if you want to use that. Don’t worry I will be making more of those, promise! I’m just looking for good photos of the band. Since I can’t draw and I can only work with photos, lol! Sucks to be me. Good enough for a ‘medium for advertising’, no?

I want to go but just thinking about the crowd and the method of acquiring a ticket, I feel that I’d be having a miserable time. Lol. Sure it’ll be fun. C’mon, this is THE band of all bands here in the Philippines! One night only.. yeah, that would be pretty cool to see, I’d most definitely feel lucky if I get the opportunity to see them. But yeah, it’s not only me who wants them, there’s the other 999,999 people all over the world.

Everything’s okay in my side of the world… been raining a lot lately. Rain is supposed to make people feel down and sad but I’m feeling happy and sad at the same time when it rains, haha! Crazy much? There’s a new WP version out, I don’t think I’ll be upgrading anytime soon. Oh I rly want a new haircut, haha! The straight, relaxed long hair needs to get out!

1. Okay that’s a link from my friend in Multiply and I think she got all of it, so just click if you want to know the rumor, lol [↩]
