Here's another contest from a fellow CDO Blogger!
Mommy Dharlz More Food Adventures blog is turning a year older and as a way of saying thank you she organized a contest on her blog. The contest is called "One and Thirty Four" because aside from her blog turning 1 year she to turn 34 this year.

After reading her blog post of the contest I immediately write this post to join the contest since the food prizes that Mommy Dharlz will be giving is my faves. And here's why...

• A Pint of Gelato from Missy Bon Bon would be a nice way to celebrate since it very yummy. I love Missy Bon Bon!
• Well, I have been a patronage of My Cake Store's mango float which is just accross Mbox Internet Cafe and Business Center where I use to hangout. So this My Cake Store GC would definitely great for grabs too.
• A Box of Pizza de Oro Pizza is yummy and I would love to try there pizza since I haven't tasted it yet.
  
• Mamsuy's Spanish Sardines... Ive been hearing so many friends telling how delightedly tasty it was but I was having second thoughts buying one since I don't eat spicy and mom doesn't eat much sardines because it'll upset her tummy. However if I win this its the chance I would taste it!

Contest will end on May 27, 2010. For more information please refer to the contest post.

Election 2010 Experience

I just finished casting my vote of the candidates that I want to lead and help our country. It was not easy since you need to wake up early so that you can get a priority number. Unlike before that you can vote anytime you want since 900 registered voters will vote to 4 polling centers. Now only one polling center is available per town. So here in Mahinog, Camiguin polling center is in San Roque Chapel only.

I was task to escort my lola for she could no longer vote for herself. When we arrived at 6:00 am there are lots of eager voters waiting outside the polling area and priority number already reach 600 plus. Good thing Senior Citizens is prioritized, so we just listed lola’s name and wait for her name to be called. The process was; every time they called for a voter with priority number they called one Senior Citizen listed. So olds really need to wait in the provided chair outside the polling center. My lola was 74th on the list so we had long hours of waiting before she was called. My hands are aching of fanning the olds (I call it “Serbisyo sa Katigulangan”) to give them air because it was hot. It was not easy seeing them sitting in the provided chair waiting for there turn to vote and there was even one old lady that we help because she almost fainted and her face is already white. After seeing such incident I let my lola stay at her sisters house which is just across the polling center so that she could just rest. It’s almost 1 o’clock in the afternoon when my lola was called to vote and since I’m already inside I cast my votes too. That does not end there since lola's ballot was rejected by the machine 4 times, I almost freak out because there are voters waiting for me to finished. Bad PCOS machine! hehehe Luckily mine feed immediately.

Since mom was still in the house a sister of my lola secured a priority number for my mom #358 wheeew… that far! But my uncle got her an earlier priority number which is #344… hehehe still far. Anyways, moms manage to finish her vote before the voting closed which is at 7 oclock.

I pity the olds but at the same time was happy and proud to know that even if they are old they never let there voices unheard. They still take part in helping the country choose the rightful leader whom they think would help us.

My Favorite Mango Float in Missy Bon Bon

I treat myself to Missy Bon Bon today since Ive been craving for there gelato few days back. It was full of customer when arrived and everyone is very busy picking up pastries and snacks that they want to eat. As for me I went directly to where the gelato was to choose for the flavor that I would like to taste when I saw a lady carrying my favorite mango float on her tray. I immediately went to were the cakes was displayed for I know the mango float is also displayed there, I was very happy at what I saw because they already have small layer size (worth Php 85). The first time I visit in Missy Bon Bon this is only served in big layers (worth Php 450). And so I grabbed one mango float for myself and matched it with fresh pineapple juice and strawberry gelato.

CDObloggers at Missy Bon Bon Breadshop

I just had an excellent breakfast at Missy Bon Bon Breadshop with fellow CDObloggers today. We were invited to come and visit the place by the owner, Mr. Henrik Yu.
While on the way I was a bit sleepy but when I entered Missy Bon Bon I just suddenly felt hungry. The sweets, cakes and breads were so yummy to look. I was also greeted by the friendly staffs that keep on smiling.

I ordered Missy Pancake match with brewed coffee and I was right that there food was indeed yummy. I also had a chat with the owner while I was taking pictures at the cakes and sweets area and discovered that their products are made of healthy ingredients which are perfect for those people who are on a diet. Mr. Henrick Yu also said that there are more products to come soon. I personally want to try there mango float but they don't offer it in per slice price; it is good only for one whole.

he CDObloggers really had fun food tasting and picture taking of the place. And definitely will come back and hangout more often to the place because we just discovered they offer free wifi.

Big thanks to Mr. Henrik Yu and his staffs! The place was so cozy, the food was fantastic and the staffs are so friendly.

My Succesful Blogging 101 Mini Forum Experience!

CDObloggers Blogging 101 Mini Forum was a successful today!

It was an instant plan to organize mini forums as part of our summer activities. So within a week we need to prepare a presentation for Blogging 101 since Red team was the first presenter. As the team leader I got stressed on how to handle things out since I’m not good in speaking in front of everybody. Most of my  group mates are busy and others don’t want to speak-up so I had no choice but to overcome my fear.

Anyways, Im glad that we pull it over and finish the event successfully. As well as help newbie bloggers the basics of blogging, setting up their own blog in free hosted and self-hosted, and content development. The feeling was great and happy!

Looking back a year ago, I was a newbie and don’t have any idea about blogging. I just created my on blog when I got to hangout with blogger friends -- the CDObloggers. I was thinking that in order for me to belong in the group I need to learn and experience what blogging is. So I set-up my first blog which is the “Something Learn and Discover” in this blog I just post whatever interesting things I discovered and learned. From then on I started experimenting from customizing my blogs template to learning to optimize my blog to gain more traffic in order to earn. And when I got confuse at something or need assistance I just ask help with my fellow CDObloggers whenever we get to hangout or meetings. I could say that joining CDObloggers has given me a lot of influence when it comes to blogging because aside from the fact that I get to network with fellow bloggers I was also able to participate into different activities and workshops that gave me additional knowledge. And now my latest accomplishment in this group was that I got the chance to teach newbie bloggers during the Blogging 101 mini forum. ;)

By the way, a big thanks to Smart Communications for our very nice freebies and to our venue which is Vienna Kaffehaus. The place was very great they offer nice service and comfortable function room at a reasonable price. It’s sad that on our SEO Mini Forum they won’t be able to cater us because of the scheduled power interruptions. Hopefully we could come back on our future mini forums.

Missing Foodtrip!

One thing I miss now is food trip. It has always been one of my ultimate comfort and favorite hobby with me, myself and I. But lately I haven't done this anymore since Ive been busy with my work and catching up with my schedules. I've been doing a lot of pending task and power interruptions eating up my time as well. I'm still finding ways to arrange my working schedule and luckily the long holiday has help me loosen up some of the task. Hopefully next week I get to do my food trip and spend some time doing nothing but eating my faves. I'm actually craving of dessert particularly, parfaits at Ice Castle (hmmmm... yummmy!!!!).

Urgh! I will definitely treat myself to Ice castle next week!
