Lovely Peeps @Malaysia Social Media Week

(Note: this is a delayed post from early March. I just found the time to rewrite and post it here.)
Yay! I was invited to Malaysia Social Media Week 2013 (26 Feb – 3 March). A good friend, Blogie, introduced me to the organizers. Blogie attended the event as a speaker in 2012, and found it interesting. In early February this year, he sent me a FB message telling me about that. How cool that is! Bloggers unite! 😀 We bloggers like helping each other get on board at different events around the world! Hey, please stay tuned to other events which I have been invited to join in the near future!

Blogie is a blogger from Davao city, the Philippines. He has been considered as a strong advocate for blogging in his communities back in Davao. Bloggie is very well known also among bloggers in Southeast Asia!

A good fiend from the Philippines. I can consult with him just about anything related to social media.
