After a couple of weeks coordinating with Miss Janette Toral for the details of The DigitalFilipino.com Club and Bloggers Cagayan De Oro Networking Event and for inviting all bloggers in the city finally the event was a success last Friday Night. The event was held at Phil town hotel and was sponsored by Syntactics. I had fun learning and getting to know the bloggers and stories behind the past 2 years Top 10 Influetial blogs. Miss Aileen Apolo also shared her experience and the benefits she gained after nominated and being one of the Top Influential Blogs for 2 consecutive years. I was honestly encouraged and motivated to blog more from the topics tackled. I even want my blogs to be in the Top 10 Influential Blogs, hopefully next year since my blogs are not yet qualified for this year. However I am now gathering my Top 10 Influential Blogs of 2009 which I would like to be nominated and I hope they will make it through the Top 10. Ms Janette Toral also shares to us on how to become a member of Digital Filipino and its benefits.
