Friday night was the night of fun, games, and empatso. And of course drunken and lethargic laughter with the brood of bloggers.

Yes, it was the San Miguel Oktoberfest celebration held at TasteAsia last Friday night.

Since I was stuck here at home, I decided to go early. I got the info from a certain Pedro that there would be a free gift pack for the first 120 early birds.

And there I was, at the registration table greeted by an english-speaking lady whom I just smiled at. Registration blah blah blah, and then I proceeded to find a table as I was ushered by the curly-haired lady.

I wonder why TasteAsia is such a favorite venue for events like these? It’s been the third time since I’ve been here at TasteAsia, and of course each of the event have their own intensity and enjoyment.

This event however, was at a different level since alcohol was involved and I had to make use of the free booze flowing around.

Yes, of course I was there. I was one of those guys who took away one of the awards for best blah blah something.

Oh fuck. I took something alright, but it’s not an award. I took the bouquet of roses and sunflowers from one of the tables of the venue. And the brochure of course.

I was never lucky in any of these raffle-shmaffle or anything.

Okay, so the WordCamp post wouldn’t be complete if there wouldn’t be at least one photo of Mr. Matt Mullenweg here in this blog. Fortunately, I’ve managed to smuggle TWO photos with me in it.

Here's a photo of me feeling Matt's meaty elbow

What to do if some celebrity had his back on you? Take a photo with you having an orgasm or something like a stomach problem. I don’t know, it’s going to be your photo so you do the orgasm.

Okay, now he's surprised why this hobo is doing some kind of gang sign

Okay, now he’s surprised why this hobo is doing some kind of gang sign.

He’s probably like, “Hey, stop that, you could hit someone with that imaginary laser gun of yours.”

Man, those are really big nostrils don’t you think? You could see my brain from that angle. And that fur! Oh my, I’m pretty sure I’m going to get imprisoned by the WWF for murdering rare lemurs for that fur of mine.

Anyway, Matt is such a good-looking man and it takes a good-looking man to distinguish another.

And there we go, WordCamp 2008 Photos with Matt Mullenweg and his pet monkey.

You know that Mr. Wordpress at the start of each new template from WordPress? That actually is a real person and I met him and took his photo. With me on it. And he’s a good guy. Lot’s of smile, with no air, whatsoever.

And oh lucky me, he commented on this blog. Yeah, bragging rights. He said that it was a comment and I either get to keep it, or delete it.

Yes yes yes, the prestigious WordCamp event was finally over, the wait was over (of course) and it was cool. Well it’s a success of course, and I got to eat free food and get some freebies and that WordCamp bag. Haha, the typical freeloader is teh me.

But enough about that shit, I just want to thank the Mindanao Bloggers for bringing forth such a fantastic event in the blogging community.
