The iBlog6 Craze

Kelvin Servigon — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 15:52:00 +0000

iBlog is one of the Philippines’ much-awaited bloggers’ event. And last Saturday, April, 17, 2010, me together with my cousins and out aunt, attended the said event at Malcolm Theater which is located at UP College of Law Building. We only attended the second day of the event because we were too busy.

Anyway, the iBlog6 rocks! Why? Because I met so many cool bloggers. I saw the bloggers who are making money online big time. I also saw some famous bloggers. And I also learned a lot about blogging. Me and my cousins had a lot of fun too! We took pictures like crazies! Ha-ha-ha.

Here are some photos we got during the iBlog6:

Define Your Personal Limits

The North Face 100

Summer season is coming here in the Philippines. And most Filipinos enjoy the heat of summer season by having a beach party or a simple pool-side gathering. But one of the best things that we can do this summer season is to join an action-packed trail running marathon! Philippines is a great spot for great marathon events. And this month of April, The North Face 100 organized another huge trail running marathon series in the country’s coolest place – Baguio City.

The North Face 100 has been organizing events like this here in the Philippines in the past three years (like the unforgettable tnf 100) . And this time, The North Face brings the marathon lovers to Baguio City. We all know that Baguio is a place with a very rough terrain. So the marathon that will take place here will definitely define your personal limits. From rocky roads to gnarly paths of the city, expect to have an active and thrilling marathon.

The route of The North Face 100 will be at the unexplored trails of Camp John Hay, the PMA grounds, Mt.Sto.Tomas and Tuba with a fitting finish in the iconic Burnham Park. The North Face 100 will also have a 11K, 22k,50K or 100K marathon to choose from.

Define your personal limits 6,000++ ft above sea level! Join The North Face 100 in Baguio-Benguet. Visit: www.thenorthface100.ph

My Blog World Philippines 2010 Experience

Kelvin Servigon — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 10:23:52 +0000

I was so happy when I got an invitation to be one of the resource speakers for an upcoming bloggers’ event, the Blog World Philippines 2010. First, I was hesitant to accept the invitation because I don’t know if I can speak well in that kind of event. But when I realized that this opportunity is another big step forward for being a better person, or simply being a better blogger, I changed my mind. This is another huge achievement for me. So, I replied to Sir Leo Fuentes of Asian Institute of E-Commerce and accepted the invitation.

So, the big day comes. The event took place at Crossroad 77, in Quezon City, Philippines. The venue was huge and there were a lot of audiences – mostly youth people. And when I addressed my speech, there was a little problem but I think that was just OK. After my talk, I received a plaque of recognition and some (very nice) gifts. I was so happy and thankful. I also love the Question and Answer part where me with Ms. Janette Toral, Mr. Julius Cesar Mamaril and Ms. Cristina Manimbo-Gascon answer questions from the audience about blogging. In this part, I was able to express my insights in blogging.

After the event, we had a little picture taking time with the other resource speakers and some girls. I also met so many people having big names in the e-commerce industry.

Here are some pictures of Blog World Philippines 2010:

To Mr. Leo Fuentes of Asian Institute of E-Commerce, thank you so much for inviting me. And to all of my co-speakers, you’re so great! And for the audience who gave me a warm appreciation, thank you very much!

Love Your Country and Lead the Change Today

Lead the Change 2010

Philippines, our very own country, has been experiencing different series of major tragedies. The two destructive typhoons and the horrible Maguindanao massacre, all of these were experienced last year. And this year 2010, Philippines is indeed in need of change.

We Filipinos love joining different conventions and seminars that can enhance our knowledge. And this coming February 17, a major event will be held. The “Lead the Change 2010” campaign – a huge gathering of the country’s big names in different industries to discuss what we need for the preparation of challenges that the 21st century has to give. The Knowledge Channel Foundation is the main organizer of the said event. The Foundation has been on its mission to improve education through television and online learning. And with “Lead the Change 2010″, the Knowledge Channel Foundation hopes for the change that can help the Philippine’s education improvement.

Lead the Change 2010 also aims for good discussion for poverty reduction (education, health, population, governance, environment and peace). Ms. Peggy Dulany Rockefeller will also be at the event, to be the guest of honor. She is the founder of the Global Philanthropists Circle and the Synergos Institute. Oscar M. Lopez (Chair of the Lopez Group of Companies and Knowledge Channel Foundation) will also be at the event to deliver a motivating and inspiring speech for the attendees.

Lead the Change 2010 is another major event for the Philippines that will surely help prevent (or lessen) the tragedies that ruin the life of every Filipino. And this Love month, help provide a public school with Knowledge Channel by donating some love to them. Spread the love and Lead the Change.

Merry Christmas!

One Year Passed, More Years to Come

Kelvinonian Ideas Logo

Did you see that? Yeah, that pair of eyes. That banner was one I used on my first blog, which was hosted by Blogger. Those eyes became a trademark of my blog, since I use it. Many says that it’s cool, but some says it’s creepy. Well, I don’t care! Ha-ha-ha. Yeah, I just love those eyes of mine. It just remind me how my blog transforms from time to time. If you’ll see my first ever blog (which I deleted) you’ll gonna laugh to death! Ha-ha-ha, yeah, because of so many grammatical errors, non-sense topics and dull looks. But I guess, most bloggers started just like that, right?

After some months, a blogger gave me a space from his webhosting account plus a domain. All for free! He’s just so generous, and I’m just so lucky! Now, we’re still friends, and I’m happy with that. So, start to be more friendly, maybe one day, you’ll meet a generous blogger, too!

That’s not the only memorable thing that happened to me with my first year here in blogosphere. I became a member of the famous (in our dreams) group of bloggers, Jedi Bloggers. Yeah, those bloggers are really starting to make noise in blogosphere! Next, this blog was chosen as one of the Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs of 2009! Yey! That was one of the most happiest moments in my life. All the efforts I exerted to build a better blog were rewarded by this famous recognition. At least, I know that more and more people are starting to read my blog (and that’s one of the aspirations of every blogger like me).

From simple thoughts and colorful digital artwork, I posted several works of photography here, too. And I am very glad that all of you commented positively on almost all of my post about it. Want to see my favorite series? Here, check it out:

And now, I’m looking forward for more years for my blogging life. More years of achievements. More years of fun!

To all my friends, readers, fans (if they exist), and bloggers around the world, thank you very much for inspiring me to blog more. Thank you for all your support (and for the comments, too!)

Happy Birthday Lorin Althea

Kelvin Servigon — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 08:54:09 +0000

Our clan is expanding. The members of our family increases. And we’re very happy for that. And now, another “beauty queen” was added in our family tree and just turned 1 this month. Lorin Althea is her name. She’s one of the daughters of my cousin.

Last September 15, we had a huge birthday party for her. And I am proud to say that, I am the one who was chosen to design for the invitations and banners! At first, I was worried because I don’t know if I can really make it. But, yeah, thank God, I got some experience in creating those stuffs.

So, with the guide of the mother of our birthday-girl, I was able to finish the invitations and banner!

We used to call this little girl “Beauty”. Well, she deserves that nickname. We hope this little girl of our clan will be a beauty queen someday, too!

Congratulations to the Winners

Kelvin Servigon — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 03:01:23 +0000

The “Be Creative, Shout Your Love” blog contest was my first ever blog project which was really talked about. Many people supported me to pursue this dream project. Doing this thing is no joke, it’s so damn hard, but the rewards are satisfying. With the celebration of my blog’s first year anniversary here on blogosphere, I ended up with this great contest. Yeah, I am very happy with this.

And as of now, the voting arena was shut down. And apparently, you can tell who won. But I have something to tell first. I am disappointed with the 1st place winner. Apparently, the winner has an entry which we can say, effortless. Yeah, I need to say that. I love the work of Jay-L but, yeah, other participants did more than what he had done. I can say that, voting system is a huge mistake. The voting from other people around the web became a hey-vote-for-me-because-I’m-your-friend scheme. More and more people voted not because of the entry but because of friendship. That’s normal, but, not right. In short, it became a popularity contest. But just like what Janette Toral said, blog contests/writing projects can be improved from past mistakes.

Ok, no more drama. Here are the participants with their points:

Joni – 725 pts.
Tsi – 685 pts.
Rommel – 920 pts.
Paulnatic – 120 pts.
Kurog – 390 pts.
Edz- 400 pts.
Jay-Elx – 1520 pts.
Don Ewok – 140 pts.
Poot – 440 pts.

And the winners are:

1st place: Jay-Elx with 1520 pts.

2nd place: Rommel with 920 pts.

3rd place: Joni with 725 pts.

Congratulations to the winners. BTW, to the winners, please e-mail me your full name, paypal address, home address and your mobile number.
