Interview Number 3
I have just finished interviewing Team Chill of Boyztrek. It was draining but also loads of fun. Chill is more light-hearted than Corpo. Fun defines their friendship and the way they play. Ding Lao, the team's mentor was with them. Ding brought with him BhoyMax Julakit, Topher Lopez, and Burnz Flores. Later on, Cocoy Villaroman and sixth man Louie Narshall also arrived. Only Yuki Perez was not available for the interview. Watch out for the complete write-up over at my DotA Blog.

Interview Number 2
I just finished interviewing a local DotA team. And it was tiring. The guys from CORPOration (tag line: When we play, we mean business.) were so hyperactive. Ding Lao, who was Interviewee number 1, was there to accompany the guys. CORPO was represented by team leader Jay Arabia, with members Jeztah Ching, Badz Bajado, and Chian Coronel. Other members Duke Dalumpines and Rioren Padama were unavailable. The guys were very much willing to answer my questions. And they were not all shy. HAHA! Watch out for the article on CORPOration over at my DotA Blog. ;)
Google Country Consultant Visits Davao City
Been using this notebook for quite some time and a lot of people wanna steal it. They are jealous, green with envy. HAHA! They keep on asking me where and how I got it. And I proudly tell them I got it directly from the Google Country Consultant. More than a month ago, Aileen Apolo visited Davao City to do conduct some Google activities. She gave a talk for SMEs on how they can exploit use the internet to grow their businesses. She also had a similar talk for the IT heads of local colleges and universities. And of course, she had a meet-up with us bloggers and some SEO people. Today, Aileen is back in the city to conduct more trainings with people from the academe. Welcom back Aileen!!! :)
