Join The Club
February 9, 2007Last night, I was finally able to attend the first Davao bloggers EB. I get to meet a lot of pretty interesting people like Blogie , Jim ,Ria ,Chris ,Marc,Andrew ,Dominique ,Jun and Tope. I find it funny to be introduced to someone with a .com in the end like "hi everyone meet george of blahblah.com".I won't go into details coz I guess there would be like 9 blog entries about the event last night. That’s what’s good about meeting bloggers coz everything would be properly documented 
(pix lifted from Blogie's site)
And I realized that this is what I’ve been missing lately…being passionate about something and going out of my way to meet people who shares the same passion as mine. I jut find it a nice feeling to know that others share your interest. At least you won’t run out of things to say and sometimes you get more committed to what you do and your passion increases ten folds.
While I was in school it was easy to meet fellow geeks, drama queens, aikido buff and wannabe writers….you just join the club. The opportunities were limitless. Now that I started working the opportunities become scant and sports fest and xmas party committee don’t count. Oh you can join the toastmaster’s club and the chess club who gathers weekly at the local park but I’m not really big on that and I’m really in no hurry to rub shoulders with senior citizens(peace out).
So last night for me was a reunion. A reunion for me and my passions. And it stirred something in me to pursue my other interests…so anybody interested to start a stamp collectors club or something?<insert snicker>
P.S. For the blogging party, we are in dire need of sponsor. We need somebody like George Lindemann who would support our cause…which is to party..i mean to establish the community for local bloggers and discuss world peace 
. For more details you can check out Blogie's site on how anybody interested can help.
