A blogger’s tip when covering mommy events

8 Replies

You might want to bear these *tips in mind when covering mommy events:

  1. Make sure to take photos of all the speakers and presenters in the event
  2. Capturing 2 or 3 slides from audio-visual presentation will also prove beneficial
  3. Take a photo of the attendees would also seem like a practical thing to do. Of course, it will be hard to round up all the participants in a single photo, so you can also do this in small groups
  4. You can also take videos of presentations, especially if it involves cooking or other product demonstration.
  5. Capturing candid mommy/child moment of the participants will also be a good idea.

World Book and Copyright Day Celebration

The kids and I attended a free seminar conducted by the National Book Development Board, the Intellectual Property Philippines and the Filipinas Heritage Library at the Technoportal UP-AyalaLand in Quezon City, last Friday. The occasion marked the celebration of World Book and Copyright Day. I’ve learned about the event through mommy Rossel. Thank you, sis.

Our original plan was to attend the Book Illustration Workshop for kids conducted by the Adarna House. My kids are looking forward to that event. It was scheduled after lunch, but unfortunately, we didn’t make it on time.

We’re able to catch half of the Food and Travel Writing Workshop, which is the last scheduled activity of the one-day seminar. I’ve heard seasoned bloggers talk about their food and travel experiences. Too bad I don’t even have a pen to take down notes. Now I can hardly recall anything said by the panelists. 🙁

Me and Rossel

We met Rossel and Ning Buning after the seminar, took a couple of pictures with them, look around for books at the mini book fair found at the lobby, and purchased a couple of books before we head off to SM Fairview.

Big Blogging Events in April

1 Reply

Two highly anticipated blogging events will take place this year.

First, the iBlog7: The 7th Philippine Blogging Summit will be held on April 1 and 2, that is from 8 a.m to 5 p.m. at Malcolm Theater, Malcolm Hall, UP College of Law, UP Diliman, Quezon City.

Second, Pinay Mommy Bloggers Grand Eyeball scheduled on April 3, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. in Makati City. Hopefully, majority of PMB members will be able to make it to the grand EB. This is going to be a lot of fun.

Both events will certainly provide a lot of new insights for new and old time bloggers. It’s my first time to attend such big events for bloggers and I hope I won’t miss the highlight. I wish I have a camcorder to record the speakers’ output and then watch it using a home dlp projector at the comfort of my home. But without camcorder or voice recorder, I think I’m better off using a pen and paper.

Are you available on both dates? I hope you can attend and make new friends as you learn the latest tips and tricks of the (blogging) trade. Hope to see you there.
