DigitalFilipino Bloggers Meet-Up at Casino Filipino Bacolod Experience

Junelle — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 14:24:57 +0000

I enjoy attending free events. As obvious, when I attended the WordCamp 2008 and iBlog 5 held in Luzon (specifically in Manila), even if I am from Visayas – Iloilo.

So, when I heard about the DigitalFilipino Club and Bacolod Bloggers Networking event, I immediately confirmed my attendance; If I could go to Manila for an event, why not in Bacolod – Di ba?

The event was sponsored by PAGCOR and was held at Casino Filipino Bacolod. It was my second time to meet Miss Janette Toral of DigitalFilipino and I was amazed by her memory, she remembered me – my name! WOW, because I’m not good in remembering names, in fact just this afternoon in a Mall, someone approached me “all-smiles” and so I did smile at her too, then she grabbed my hand and shook it saying “sorry I am in a hurry.” Goodness, that was a such relief, if she had stayed and talked to me, I would surely have broken her heart. Deary, if you are reading this, “I AM SORRY.”

However, I think I would remember Marcos, Jun, Mary Jane, Tim and Glady whom I just met during the event. These Iloillo Bloggers have been my friends online for a long time, and we just met each other in person, last night. Also, with us is the infamous Enrico Dee, whom I first met at iBlog 5, introduce to me by another Iloilo Blogger, Bernie (who missed the meet-up).

I really had fun during the event because the organizers did a great job and Miss Janette Toral is full of positive energy – she always smiles at the City of Smiles.

A fellow Iloilo Blogger and my officemate, Claire, seems to have enjoyed it as well. We both won a prize during the raffle – Yehey!

Smart Bro Iloilo at Trapiche Oton

Junelle — Sat, 12 Apr 2008 09:57:32 +0000

I just have my SmartBro Plan 999 installed at home, since I am not satisfied with the Smart Plug-it using GPRS signal in my area due to no 3G signal available here.

Here is my first Speed Test and I am happy with it:

Smart Bro Plug-it Iloilo

Junelle — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 00:40:25 +0000

I just got my Smart Bro Plug-it yesterday and this morning I tested it in the office. Here’s my first test of its speed. This is the speed for a full bars GPRS / EDGE connection.

I was really disappointed and can’t believe of the result, so in a matter of minutes, I tested it again and there was a big difference. This is the speed for a full bar 3G / HSDPA connection.

Somehow this gives me a relief, but then again, there’s only a few spots in Iloilo that HSDPA is available.
