It was in 2006 when I went to my first iBlog (iBlog2).  I skipped 3 but took time to go to iBlog4 last year where I finally got to meet the awesometastic Mindanao Bloggers (reprazant yo!). This year will be different. iBlog5 will either make or make (not a typo) my awesomeness exponentially grander in magnitude because of that 9:30 slot right there (please see schedule below).
