Rose and I went to the Awards Night of the 2007 Philippine Blog Awards (PBA) at the RCBC Plaza, Makati City. We arrived at the venue at around 1730H, and were greeted by Gail Dela Cruz-Villanueva, one of the PBA organizers. The food was great, my wife loved it. I just had iced tea — two glasses of it.

Minutes after 6pm (moments before 7pm, hehehe), we were ushered to our seats. The badges given to me and Rose indicated us as ‘Guests’, so we’re led to the balcony of the RCBC Podium 4. Later, it was announced that all ‘Finalists’ should be seated at the Orchestra.

Though I didn’t win in the Bloggers’ Choice Awards category, the feeling of being there, the First Philippine Blog Awards is just great! Oh, did I mentioned that all of the attendees got some freebies? I also won in the raffle: 2pcs of rechargeable Sanyo Batteries. Great for my tv’s remote control.

After the Awards Night, the scheduled meeting of the Adobe User’s Group Philippines pushed through at the Starbuck’s inside the mess hall of the RCBC Plaza. It was attended by 12 members, including me. We raffled one (01) Adobe Creative Suite (CS) 3 (licensed). Nope, it was not me who won the software, but managed to bring home one (01) Adobe gel pen and one (01) tumbler from the raffle. I also met two MMA grads in the meeting.

I’m still searching for the pics taken last night. Onwards to Philippine Blog Awards 2008! Mabuhay ang Blogistang Pinoy!

For professional photography you need a camera. There is a huge variety of equipment being used in film making, many film makers use spotlights for better picture quality. The easels are providing best collection for media.
