First Ever Blogapalooza in Manila

Over the years, I've had my fair share of blogging events and it's just recently that I have been picky on the events I am attending because of my busy schedule. Since most of the guys at WheninManila are my friends, I decided to prioritize their event that they organized. Upon reading it, "Lovapalooza" popped up in my mind. It's Blogapalooza pala! I thought, "It must have the same concept without the hugging and the kissing. It must be good then."

Blogapalooza is a first here in the Philippines as far as I know. There were a lot of presentors that day and I wasn't able to take all of them in. Good for my short attention span but bad for my selective memory. I only took note of the items I am particularly interested in.

Disclosure, all the presenters gave away some freebies inside the lootbag.

Total Lunar Eclipse 2011 | Photos, Infos and Facts

Total Lunar Eclipse 2011

I set my alarm to wake me up around 3:30 in the AM so I could personally see the Total Lunar Eclipse 2011 and how a red moon looks like. I was planning to go to the top floor of our place but upon looking out the window of our room, I already saw it.

Still groggy, I got my camera and set it up on a Tripod. I used a Nikon D90 with a 18-105 lens plus wireless remote to lessen the shake. Unfortunately, this is the best I could do haha! I used the wrong settings, I think. Time to learn more.

Enjoy the facts, information and photos I personally took below.
(Each photo below is unique and there are no duplicates. It was taken on June 16, 2011 around 3:35am ~ 4:00am Philippine Time)
