iBlog 8th Philippine Blogging Summit (Day2)

iBlog 8th Philippine Blogging Summit (Day2), akala ko di ako makakapunta dito dahil may isang event ako na dapat puntahan kaso nga lang walang sumagot sa aking text kaya naman mas inisip ko na lang na go na lang ako sa iBlog 8th summit mas madami pa akong makikilala at di nga ako nagkamali ang dami ko nakilala esp sa Proudly Pinoy Bloggers o mas kilala bilang PPB.

Simula natin ang araw sa unang speaker na si Mr. Rem Tanauan tungkol sa Soul Blogging.

Base saaking pagkakaalala sa topic na ito, simple lang naman yun eh bakit ka magblog? sinu ang inspiration mo? pag-nagblog ka ba pera kaagad ang nasa isip? di ba pudeng you blog because you want to inspire other people.

Sabi pa nga ni Sir Rem, meron tatlong process of blogging, una Inspiration, ikalawa Insight ikatlo Intention.
