Blog Event News | Blogapalooza 2015 Experience
3:29 AM
Sorry for the late post. I had a busy week in the office and
I did not have the time to create this post. Better late than never.
---------------------------
I love events that gather various people who have the same
interest and hobbies. It is because of this reason that I signed up for
Blogapalooza, which was held last October 25, 2015 in One Esplanade. I have
attended a few blog events, but they were not as big as this. After attending
the event, I saw that Blogapalooza is a convention for bloggers and for those
who love to write.
This is my first time attending and I had such a great experience because I
learned a lot about blogging and met new blogger friends. Even though I
expected a bit more, I still enjoyed everything because I saw blogging in a
different perspective.
Booths That Caught My
Attention
I was very surprised when I went inside the venue because the
place was packed with sponsors and exhibitors. I didn’t know where to start. It
was a good thing I saw my new blogger friends and we came up with a little plan
on going around the venue. After the event, there were booths that caught my
attention and would probably stick to me for a long time.
1. Sosro Fruit Tea
Sosoro Fruit Tea allows everyone to choose their own
bottles from its distinct tea-infused flavors of Freeze, apple, guava, and
strawberry. It is one of my favorite booths, as I was able to taste a new tea
drink, had a photobooth picture with Diane Cheng, and got free caricature art
from a great artist. I always loved tea drinks and tasting the Sosro Fruit Tea
was good. I can’t wait for this new product to come out in the market soon.
2. Chips Delight
I never turn away from sweets and Chips Delight is not an
exception. Those colorful packages made me want to have my own Chips Delight.
Well, I got one in the Chocolate Chip
Brittle Brownie flavor! :D I have yet to taste this though ;)
3. Feel Good Lactium
What caught my attention here is when they said I could take
the stress level test. Feel Good Lactium is a new and unique food supplement
made of milk protein hydrolysate that reduces stress. After playing a game, I
took the stress level test. I was stressed on the week of Blogapalooza, so my
results said that I was highly stressed hahaha XD I picked the Weight
Management part, where I was advised to develop the right habits and,
hopefully, I can do these to lose weight.
4. Gaming Library
Gaming Library provides board games that help strengthen family ties and create great bonding
with friends. Whether you are a beginner or an expert, they have the right
board games for you. In their booth, the staff invited bloggers to play a
Korean game (I forgot the name, my bad), where we earn as many points as we can
by letting different colored crystals fall using a mini mining axe. I got 50
points, but one of my blogger friends beat me. I enjoyd the game and plan to
buy it soon.

5. Amada's Leche Flan
& Desserts
I love leche flan and this is the reason why I tasted the
samples of Amada's Leche Flan & Desserts. They make every special moment
sweeter with their homemade dessert recipes! I love the leche flans because
they are not too sweet and leaves a great taste in the mouth. They have the
leche flan in a pan and the leche flan in ajar. Since Christmas is coming, I
will probably order from them to give as gifts. :)
6. The Diff
The Diff believes in the importance of self-expression and
shows this through their customized phone cases. Their goal is to empower
everyone to let their true self shine. According to Business Development
Officer, Elora Picson, they support local artists and use their artwork on the
customized cases. Customers choose the type of case that they want and upload
any image they want, whether from The Diff’s arts or their own. I love
customized cases, so I’ll be ordering from them soon.
7. Breakout
Philippines
When I found out that Breakout Philippines was coming to
Blogapolooza, I really got excited. In Breakout Philippines, participants need
to solve puzzles and survive in various escape rooms for 45 minutes. I already
tried one of their rooms, so it was really exciting to see their booth. I
interacted with the staff about my experience there and about their services. After
registering, I won a Slidefest shirt. :D I cannot wait to try their Katipunan
branch, which is nearer for us than their Mandaluyong branch.
8. Ace Water Spa
When it comes to relaxation, I am a fan of trying out
different techniques. Some of those techniques are offered in Ace Water Spa. Here,
I want to either experience the strong sprays of water massaging my body or just
relax in their hot pools. Thanks to the freebies that they gave me, I can learn
more about their services.
9. I Am Cardboard
Last, but definitely not the list, is the I Am Cardboard booth. They make Virtual Reality accessible to the mass market by providing VR
headsets based on the successful Google cardboard template. You just place your
phone in the headset, play a clip, and have a feel of the virtual reality
world. I love the concept and I am sure this is something my boyfriend will
love.
These are my overall Blogapalooza hauls:
Things That Happened
While Going Around
While going around the venue, a few happenings made the
event even more special.
Saw the beautiful Maxene Magalona in person:
I met and had a picture with the man behind Blogapalooza,
Sir Vince Golangco from When in Manila:
My blogger friends and I were also lucky to have a picture
with the famous professional blogger, Ms. Valerie Tan:
Meeting New Blogger
Friends
What made Blogapalooza more memorable was I met new blogger
friends and we went to the booths together. I realized attending blogger events
is fun when you are with the people who share the same passions and interests
as yours. I was with:
Peng Desuyo of Read My Lips
Lessons Learned/Final
Say
I would say this is one of my most memorable experiences
this year because I learned another part of blogging. After the event, I now
know what I want to do with my blog---I have to start making it better. Most
likely, it will have a new look before the year ends and I am excited to start.
Thanks to Blogapalooza, I now have knowledge on to make my blog informative to readers.
Thank you, Blogapalooza for a wonderful experience! Until
next year! :D
