// just noting myself ehhehee

my lecture at Filnegosyo

I forgot to make a blog post about my lecture and now that I have more time to blog and for today is my rest day in events and other stuff. I also uploaded a recorded version of my lecture about blogging your business to success and also an introduction to blogging. I used a Creative Zeon 2 mp3 player with recorder in documenting my lecture so that I can share it to all.

Im not a professional in blogging and I know Im not the right guy for giving lectures, but the people around me chose me to share my experience and knowledge about web blogging.
Im so scared in talking in this big event and If there are any bloggers who are offended or do not acccept what I said in this lecture, it will be better to note me privately and correct me if theres something wrong in my lecture, so that I can notice my mistakes and improve it more.

I arrived at around 2:30pm and almost got a trouble in arriving in the venue, got so tired in organizing my own event at the comic seminar and I created my slides and web page screen caps that morning, in other words,, cramming hahaha, It was like back in college, preparing a big presentation for my thesis. Been blogging snce 2003 and using the internet in my business since 1997, so you can see a big structure on how and when did I started in this internet thing and making it as a career today.



I went to check the event on its first day of opening and see who will be my attendees and I just observed that most of them are students and business people. I tried making a funny and entertaining slide, like putting cartoon characters and other images that seems to be more funny. like teddy bears, animals and celebrities. I did that just to make the audience focus on the slide and later on listen to my lecture and do some amusing stunts, making the atmosphere lively.

Students are aware already on the blogging world and most of them are into Friendster and Multiply, thus they arent aware about the livejournal, blogger, wordpress and etc. Making an introduction about blogging raise more curiosity in my audience of business people. One of them asked a question on how will they use blogging as a tool for their businesses and some of them asked me if it is easy to use and is it cheap. I answered them that they can use it for business and for the web blog example I used in my slide and seems that they are convinced that they can use it as online shop, product catalog, and it is easy to use and cheap, less cost expensive in that way.

Some student asked me questions about how can they use it for their business. I was surprised that these Rizal Technology University are into business and they shared to me that they have products for sale and like to learn more on blogging, but when i found out that he has a multiply account, I told him that he can use the blogging engine of multiply and photos album to upload his product and turn it into a virtual catalog.

there was a coaching and mentorship program after the lecture, the students took photos of me with them and they will use it for their school study and also use it to show it to their professors. A salon businessman approached me and asked the same question too about how can they use blogging in their business. I just told them that they can have a blog with no cost and it can serve it as their official website, I just told them that you just need a regular writer to put blog post about your services, products and also put tips on about getting a great hairdo or make up.

A community service officer from Candelaria, Quezon approached and told me that their org has a blog but he doesnt have the time to update it, I just told him that even that you spend more time in surfing social networking sites, you can use blog in reporting your activites and also promoting your community events and annoucements. just try to do a story from it and that will serve as your content for your blog.

pretty fun on that day, met a lot of person and It was a great experience in sharing what I know about blogging. I even got a talk with the president of Argon Lasers light, he just shared to me this program about the discipline in getting and earning money out from nothing. which gives me interest in how can they raised a P800 from talking and not having any expense at all. hmmm I might try it soon and blog it about here.

thanks to Exlinks, Megatrade Hall and Filnegosyo for inviting me at their event
and hope we can have more talks and lectures about blogging.

More sweets and treat at the Comics and Manga Day in Powerbooks, SM Megamall

panel moderator Az boy bato

It was a big success for the Comics and Manga Day 2007, and even that there is no such event or day celebration for comics, we had just started a new beginning to have focus about creating comics and the joys of reading it. In line with the Arts and Literature of the month at Powerbooks, Glass House Graphics and Studio Sakka gives a wonderful panel discussion, art show, exhibit and drawing demo to all. As the people says in the event, it was more on an inspirational and motivation panel talks with the artist. Discussing from the life of an artists, from the discipline and values up to the challenges and success from doing a job that they truly love.

There was also a hot topic about Manga and Japanese comics, and still many people are interested in the topic, I opened the topic about hentai, doujinshi comics, the market, about being part of the pop culture, and american style manga. and many more.

The forum was great, I learned a lot from the pros. It was an open forum, so there was interaction between the audience and the speakers. It had also been a while since I talked in front of a large crowd, this time, as a member of the audience. - razekiel.deviantart.com (art professor)

People stayed from 1PM up to 7PM, and they didnt leave even we did a 30 minute break.
total of 60 people attended the event, plus walk in visitors. There were also Koreans who participated in the panels and also big comics readers, fans, artist and collectors who went at the event after attending a toy launch.

then at the end we raffle off Wilson's artwork and also free tickets of the comics seminar

Another round of applause to our pinoy comic artists.

During the event, I promised to them all that next year will be a big Comics and manga Day.

see you all on 2008 :)

Arnold Arre's Andong Agimat - movie !

// wow!! this is a one great news!

'Andong Agimat' to the US film mart
By Bayani San Diego Jr.
Inquirer

MANILA, Philippines -- Unitel head Tony Gloria has a new baby.

"This is my pet project," he says of "Ang Mundo ni Andong Agimat," a popular graphic novel by prize-winning author/illustrator Arnold Arre.

Gloria has acquired the rights to "Andong," which he plans to produce into either a feature film or a TV series. Or both.

"It can start as a feature film and we can later turn it into a TV series," he says.

For the role of Andong, Gloria is eyeing Robin Padilla.

"He's not your typical hero. Andong's a loner and an ex-convict," he explains.

Unitel is preparing an audio-visual presentation on "Andong," which Gloria will screen at the American Film Market, running from Oct. 31 to Nov. 7 in Santa Monica, California.

It's Unitel's fourth time in the US film mart. "We scanned and colorized the storyboards. We edited and set the footage to music. We also gave it a 3-D title," he says.

He hopes to attract investors—to finance or to co-produce—with the "Andong" teaser.

Gloria admits that producing "Andong" is expensive.

"You can't do it with P20 million. If I had P50 million that would be ideal. But I can make it with P30 million to P35 million," he says.

Now im here sitting around in the middle of the room, with lights off and no one is here.

I feel like that Im alone again.
but its okay, being alone means that I have to make my brains working again hehehhhe

im trying to log off my YM and will scan my laptop for virus presence.

for those who will contact me using YM, don't dare use it for now, because I'll go offline.
if you want to message me, best way is to SMS me or email me.
