After several exchanges as to whether or not anyone can come, TMB made it to the SM Hypermarket Taste Asia Bloggers’ Party after all. Nice to see most of the country’s more popular bloggers all in one venue! Forgive me if I just kept to myself, looking very timid and shy, smoking with the mob, as I was half the time hoping that someone would tell me who’s who from the hundreds who came to party since I’m new to really making an effort to read other Pinoy Blogs. I recognized several from their MyBlogLog avatars, though. There wasn’t enough time to mingle since quite a number left right after dinner but it was a great first-time venue to get to meet people, nevertheless.

Met these great guys for the first time: Jayvee, Riz, AlohaPenny, TJ, Ganns, Sorsi, Benj, Aileen Apolo, Tess Termulo aka Prudence, and Dhon Jason.

Congratulations to all the winners of the SM Hypermarket Blog Writing Contest (or was that “Supermarket?” tee hee). My complements to Taste Asia for serving really delicious food! There was a point when I was debating with myself on whether or not the Tempura they served is as good as Westin’s, or better. The staff are courteous and well-mannered. They are kind enough to take my Coke orders and the mob’s beer demands with Swiss Precision and Japan Movement. Also, high praises to the organizers, especially to Aileen Apolo, for taking time out in making this event happen.

Here’s my share of photos taken from the SM Hypermarket Taste Asia Bloggers’ Party on August 23, 2007. Money shot goes to Mike Villar coming out of the lady’s comfort room (taken by Marco). To the guys of TMB (Peter, Mike, Steel, Ade, Coco, Bim, Marco, Liz, Anne, Sexy Nomad, Helga, Chris, and Aloha Penny), it was a pleasure as always being the group’s Official Paparazzi and, as always, your company transcends the normal societal context of fun.

Awesomeness!
26 August 2007 at 6:12 pm
Say it, “no one does a novice paparazzi job as well as Fritz.” SAY IT!
26 August 2007 at 6:15 pm
And thanks for having us. Next time, I’ll mingle so hard, that I’ll win whatever the grand prize is for the “sign the blog check-list round about” bit. Fun times.
26 August 2007 at 7:46 pm
*slams his head*.
Too bad, wala ako sa event na yun. But anyway, it’s a Thursday. I’m into school stuff. [Liaaar]
But anyway, I’m so prepared for the next Taste Asia. Mwahaha!
26 August 2007 at 7:54 pm
Alright. Next time dapat Fritz’s food fest naman.
26 August 2007 at 8:11 pm
Talagang nakadugtong na ung Aloha sa name ko, hehehe, and you take awesome pictures! even when im not looking! why were you not in the choices?? nice meeting you til next time
26 August 2007 at 8:11 pm
Did that before here sa bahay. Not as gourmet at Taste Asia’s but palatable. Bangenge ang TMB, pucha.
26 August 2007 at 8:15 pm
Next Taste Asia daw Thursday ule. hehehe. Flowing beer, cocktails, San Mig Coffee (yum, mi paborito), great food, good company. What more could you ask?! Pero, yun, Thursday daw ule, or Tuesday. May pasok pa rin. LOL.
26 August 2007 at 8:35 pm
Why weren’t I in the choices as in Bim, Mike, and the goat? Because I’m taken. By the she-goat. LOL. Thanks. It’s much more fun when I get things candid. They look spur-of-the-moment-ish. Besides, outtakes give a more precise re-telling of the behind the scenes action. Spontaneous and as-is. Nice meeting you, too, Penny!
27 August 2007 at 5:49 am
Didn’t get the chance to say hello. Mmmmaybe next time.
27 August 2007 at 5:16 pm
Yes. My main agenda for next event is to mingle like a politician come election season.
27 August 2007 at 8:10 pm
Nice meeting you, Fritz! Hope we could get to talk some more in the next blogger event! :-)
27 August 2007 at 9:49 pm
I asked Ade, eherm, if you were around. He said yeah, I’ll help you find her. Eherm! Pesky sorethroat. Anyhoots, yeah, good to meet and greet the perkiest doctor blogger I know. ‘Til next event!
28 August 2007 at 12:13 am
Wow, such a social animal. You better come with give aways next time. That will surely make you more popular! hehehe.
28 August 2007 at 12:35 am
See what I did there? Promising to be more sociable when I could picture myself doing the same thing: cowering under the buffet table and grabbing the fresh refill of tempura when nobody’s looking. Also, said in a hoarse voice, I’d be like, “pssst, boss-chip weyter, paki-pektus ako ng dalawang regular Coke. Paki-sipa nalang dito sa ilalim ng mesa pag nakakuha ka na para di halata. Nasasamid na ‘ko sa mga hipon. Dami kasi eh. Kasalanan nyo’t sinarapan nyo. Tsaka tissue plis. Teynks!”
28 August 2007 at 11:19 pm
Pektus, what the?
29 August 2007 at 12:00 am
What? Like paki-switik, something like that, you nontagalogspeakingmodel you!
29 August 2007 at 6:45 am
A she goat!! lololol!!
29 August 2007 at 6:31 pm
Because if he was, then Mikey and I would never win. The goat, maybe. But Mikey and I, never.
29 August 2007 at 6:34 pm
Remind me I owe you a double pat on the birdie the next time we meet, k?
