Guess who had a new layout! The new layout came from the giveaway CD of WordCamp. Thanks Blog Oh Blog! EDIT: I changed my layout! FALL OUT BOY is LOVE. Wahahaha. :))

My camper’s badge.

On the second to the last day of my term break was WordCamp Philippines 2008, held on the Augusto-Rosario Gonzalez Theatre, College of Saint Benilde. (My school)

Looking back on my post about the said event, I wanted to attend this event to hone my skills in developing themes, and of course, to meet Matt Mullenweg, Mr. WordPress himself. I’m proud to say that I accomplished doing these things at WordCamp.

Happy Campers! With Clarizze and Anna. That’s CRAZY me on the right.

I was with my schoolmates and other friends. We had a good time there. Almost all of us attended our chosen breakaway sessions.

Here’s a funny story:

While MiGs was welcoming us to the WordCamp event, he gave me a special mention because I was freezing cold. Yes, the venue was cold.

With Mr. WordPress himself.

Meeting Matt Mullenweg was… magical. Nah, I’m just kidding. I wasn’t able to talk to him because I was starstrucked. It’s like meeting a celebrity. Here’s what happened.

After falling in line, I patted his shoulder and then used the camera. He was saying, “thank you” and shook my hand. I was not saying anything because I was starstrucked! (Sorry for the reiteration) So I nodded my head. Ooh, I did say something, but my voice was soft.

Thank you to the organizers, sponsors, campers and Matt Mullenweg for gracing the event. Wow! What a great way to somehow end my term break. Tomorrow we’ll be having classes already.

I’ll be looking forward to WordPress 2.7, and to the next WordCamp in our country.

And all the pingbacks. Thank you so much for somehow featuring my blog post. Much love, guys!

Yes, just a quick update. 10 minutes before September 6. WORDCAMP DAY!

Anyway, Monday was course cards day and I am very very VERY satisfied with my grades. Hello DL again!

CATHWOR - 3.5
ORALCOM - 3.5
JOSERIZ - 4.0
PHILIEN - 3.0
BASICOM - 3.5
HARTDS1 - 3.5
PETRIID - 4.0

After three (3) terms, I finally have a 4.0 grade! Yay for me. So my GPA is 3.550, and that makes me a First Honor Dean’s List-er. Yay, what a great way to start the term break.

Term break started out boring for me. Hot weather, scarcity of food, nothing to do but surf the net. Well, yeah. BUT… Wednesday, I did something productive. I watched the concert of Boys Like Girls in Alabang Town Center. The concert lasted in less than an hour, since ATC closes at 9:00 PM. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to meet or greet them. But, what the heck. Watching them was worth it already.

AND NOW. WORDCAMP IS NOW A FEW HOURS AWAY. I’ve prepared my needs for the event!

NEEDS FOR WORDCAMP:

1. My school ID.
2. Printed camper’s pass.
3. My good-in-PR, always-happy attitude.
4. A camera which I can put in my pocket so that there’s no blue form stuff
5. FAN MODE when I see Matt Mullenweg, Mr. WordPress.

Yes, I’m very excited. The goodies are… Wow. I want one of those. And I love how the camper’s badges are printed! I love it!

SEE YOU ALL IN WORDCAMP.

XOXO
(Ulk. What was that for?!)
