I barely made it to iBlog4, I got in just enough to consider myself an attendee, which makes me one of not too many bloggers who’ve been in all the iBlog summits. It is nice to know we Filipino bloggers have come this far.
At the afterparty, I took some portraits of fellow bloggers I managed to convince for a shot. My favorites: AJ, Shari, Peter, Pierre, and Kring. The complete set is in my photo gallery, and you can also view it as a slideshow.
Congrats to Janette for another successful iBlog!

I am a big Jackie Chan fan. Expectedly, it follows that I also love watching other Asian stars rising from the martial arts genre. So when I came across an online article about the movie “The Forbidden Kingdom” starring both Jackie Chan and Jet Li, I knew I just had to see it. Fortunately for me, Hana was game enough to watch it as well.
Though both stars are admittedly a bit older for typical artists in their genre, age fails to show especially in their fight scenes. Both stars still do the crazy stunts they’ve always been known for; an MSNBC article even reports that they were too eager to show off their skills that cameramen had to beg them to slow down.
I wouldn’t say that the movie’s story is as good as “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” or any of their best films, but it’s still enjoyable enough to watch from beginning to end. Heck, I would’ve paid for the movie just for their fight scene. The other main characters fit their roles well though honestly, I was more into the fight sequences than the whole film itself.
Any fan of both artists or of their type of martial arts films will not regret seeing this. Now if only they’d do more of these films again…
Wait, I really enjoyed this one that I just had to share a desktop wallpaper I remixed from the movie’s official site. You can have it in 1280×800 or 800×480 resolution.

The fourth iBlog will be on April 26, 2008 at the Malcolm Theater in the College of Law, UP–Diliman, Quezon City. The iBlog is one of the longest running blogging–related events in the Philippines, and has been instrumental in educating local bloggers on various topics of interest. It has also been responsible for building relationships among bloggers, which reminds me how I met Jayvee through Abe in iBlog2. Though online registration is now officially closed, I believe walk–in attendees are still welcome though seats and other giveaways may not be guaranteed. And now I remember I actually forgot to register.
After the iBlog summit proper, there will be an after–party slash bloggers’ night hosted by 88db.com.
What: 88DB.com Bloggers’ Night
When: April 26, 2008 @ 7pm
Who: bloggers of any size, age, status or whatever
How: Just leave a comment below or register through any of the coordinators blogs
Why: Booze, Music, Prizes and 88DB.com
Where: Katips Bar in Katipunan Avenue, Quezon City
The fun thing about this party is that you can win a Sony PSP if you play with the “come as your blog” theme. Now let your creativity run wild.
To confirm your slot for the party, you can leave a comment here on this entry, or with Aileen’s entry, or with any of the other assigned coordinators.

I’ve been neglecting this blog quite blatantly that it’s been two weeks since my last entry, so I’ll just post something that supposedly comes to me naturally — share photos.
The mountain view was breathtaking, Batanes was more than I imagined it to be. The photo has two of our friends from Epson, taking a quick breather and admiring nature’s beauty.
