Yabang Pinoy!!

Yabang Pinoy, the pioneering Filipino Pride movement behind shouting proud Filipinos, entrepreneurs and consumers alike, is behind the success of Global Pinoy Bazaar, an annual assembly of individuals passionate about being Filipino and the potential of Filipino products. On its fifth year, Yabang Pinoy promises the biggest and best yet, at the Global Pinoy Bazaar 2009.

I missed out on last year’s as I believe I was out gallivanting in Bicol and Negros at around this time.

Let’s hope for a good, good night tonight!

And for myself, I hope that the batteries on the camera will not die out on me like it did at Genre.:|

This event has been postponed of course for the time being. The new date and venue has not been announced yet as a number of members and alumni, me and my family included, are still coping with the aftermath of Ondoy. Water was over the top of our heads at 2am on Sunday, September 27^th in Pasig. The Cruz’s, Abet and Hush, had to be evacuated from their home in Nangka, Marikina. Jill Masalonga, Eshei Mesina and a number of Repists from Marikina had homes submerged in water as well. We are all hoping things will get better soon.

Note:

This blog post was scheduled for posting for Sunday 12:30 am. I was not really online as there was no power and we were being flooded everywhere.

I am not really very sporty. I don’t know any ball games. I don’t play any ball games. I do swim and surf. There are no balls there. I play badminton. No balls there either. Just cocks. Shuttle cocks.

So anyway, the last time I played badminton was back when I was living in El Nido. And we only played in the middle of the street, or sometimes, if the court is free and devoid of basketball players, at the municipal multi-purpose court.

But I’m gonna go play this time. It’s all in the spirit of fun… and games.. and camaraderie.. and so on and so forth.

This event is free so head to 3/F (Core Room) R.O.X at Bonifacio High Street at Fort Bonifacio, Taguig on Thursday, June 25 7PM.

My friend Cedric Valera of Travel Factor will be doing the talk on Offbeat Traveling.

Since this is a Thursday night, I wish I could come but I can’t. Maybe when the baby is older and when a sitter is around. Til then!
