Rein Winds

The registration committee at work!

I may have not been given the opportunity to listen to any of the meaningful and worthwhile talks presented during the WordCamp Philippines 2008 as a regular camper, but I had the chance to work with great people with brilliant minds and awesome characters as a volunteer.

Held in College of St. Benilde, Manila on Sept. 6, WordCamp Phillippines was a gathering of great bloggers all over the country (and some other parts of the world too).

Paul Villacorta, one volunteer from Cebu, was checking his Plurk account (notice our SOS lunch: a loaf of bread had saved our sanity :D)

Di halatang gutom! My new found-friends, Sharlin Cruz and ChiQ Montes with me, while enjoying our slices of bread to keep ourselves up and moving even if it was already way past 1 pm. Thanks to Chowking for our lunch! It was just difficult for volunteers to have lunch on time because we were to let the campers have theirs first.

It was a great experience working with people so harmoniously even if it was only  the first time we met.

I was assigned to usher the sponsors and hand them their  Camp Badges

Learning from them and establishing ties with them are already an awesome prize one blogging newbie like me can cherish.

Looking forward for the next WordCamp Philippines here!
