Bloggers Fiesta Manila Banner

I was at the Manila Bloggers Fiesta 2011 at SM North Edsa. The venue was just perfect because of the free WiFi at the mall.It was a great place to meet all the Manila Bloggers. I particularly had fun and learned a lot from the more experienced bloggers. With their words and wisdom, it gave me inspiration to continue blogging since I love informing readers and expressing my opinion.

 I definitively cracked up with David D' Angelo wrestling entrance! I do want to give a shoutout to Azrael and the rest of the speakers for sharing their knowledge to us newbies. I am also happy since I won some prizes! I'll be at your next event for sure! I am proud to say that I am part of the Manila Bloggers Network!

Me with Jet Li of Poretics

I thought it was going to be another boring day at work. I was called upon and when I was told that I was going to see America's Best Dance Crew Season 5 Winners Poreotics, I just went crazy! I got my phone ready, laptop and headed off to SM North Edsa.  I immediately thought of my friend, Rye Bonoan since he is a fan too but everyone told me to hurry up because we had a deadline. I had to hurry up and pack my stuff up. I was so excited that I just couldn't wait to go there. I got there and it was crowded!

A lot of fans were there. I got my shirt, my special meet and greet pass and the show began!. The show started off with some of the best local crews in the Philippines. The sponsors started giving out free tickets to the Justin Bieber concert. Finally, it was time. Poreotics came on to the stage and the place exploded! Poreotics members Matt (Dumbo) Nguyen, Can Nguyen, Charles Nguyen, Lawrence (Law) Devera, Justin (Jet Li) Valles and Chad Mayate. They were nice guys and hyped the crowd up with their antics and jokes. I thought to myself, that I wish my friend was here.

They called some people from the crowd to come to the stage to dance and decided to teach the fans on how to dance. Some of the Poreotics members are Filipino, so they spoke Tagalog very well. They taught the crowd the "Doggie" and the "Cat Daddy". It was fun! They dance better live with their unique "cutting" and "tutting" technique.  They have some new dance moves along with famous dance steps from the ABDC.

Finally, when it was all over it was the meet and greet. I was so excited that I actually danced and popped right in front of them! Lawrence said, " Wow, that was pretty good, do it again." I did and they clapped. I just couldn't believe that they said, " That was amazing dude. I had  group picture with them and it will be uploaded soon on to their Facebook page.  I decided to go backstage and I asked Jet Li for a picture. Although, the guard was mean, Jet Li said," It's cool, I'll handle it and we took a picture". I said, "Thanks for the picture on which he replied back, " No problem, keep dancing and hope you enjoyed the show'.
