Accepting applicants: Band of Bloggers
Posted by Jayvee Fernandez at August 21st, 2006
Are you Filipino? Do you own a blog? Can you handle hanging out with really cool folk like this guy, this other guy and this other really cool guy? (I’m not cool. I jut like taking pictures and writing.)
If you have what it takes, then join us every month for the Band of Bloggers “wala lang” sessions. Topics include:
Blogging
Monetization
Pop Culture
Photography
Reasons why my girlfriend left me and other love advice from this guy (best reason to go!)
Okay, that spiel sounded really stupid. But seriously though, the past few months has been quite interesting for local bloggers meeting up casually to exchange notes over sisig and crispy pata.
One thing I’ve noticed though. Most bloggers are practicing geeks and the latter have the tendency to get along quite well. A retinue of skills that most people in the industry posses include at least two of the following:
[] maintains a blog
[] plays an instrument
[] into photography
[] dabbles with photoshop
[] watches anime
[] knows how to program
[] girlfriend left him / her because of hobby obsession
[] knows how to use at least 2 types of operating systems
[] particiaptes in online forums and discussions

I qualify and possess all of the above skills, except that am female and i don’t watch anime. i create them (plus my name often gets mistaken for a male).
