Well not really. Considering it was a blogger party so obviously there was just too much booze, sex and several acts of frivolities going round.
Just kidding. The nature of a party for bloggers means that everyone blogs about it after, so no secrets here, really!
You can view the pictures I took here. It was also my first dry run of the Speedlite 580EX I recently bought. Again, check out my gallery for the pics.
A lot of people asked about why the need for all the technorai tagging and other hassles to become part of this event. Well the short and sincere answer is that – this was to satisfy two things: (1) this event was obviously an “experiment” being the fitst party we organized. As a sponsor and member of the organizing committee I can tell you that we have had no prior experience in events organizing.
We did manage to keep everyone engaged from 2PM to 8PM so I guess that was commendable – or we just had a lot of patient guests! Thanks to all the bloggers who took the time to go and write about this event. Rest assured the next event (to be held around mid to third quarter 2007 will be more open and less of a hassle to sign up for).
The second (2) reason why we had to do the tagging and linking in order to get an invitation was for the sake of sponsors. We were able to raise enough money in the span of a week and a half to cater to this event. Without our cash sponsors and donors, this would not have been possible. The trackbacks to their blogs is the least we could do to give back, apart from the optional 5 minute presentation time they had.
Final notes: I’d like to thank my company – b5media, for being a primary sponsor for the event. Thanks guys, you rock!
The sad part of being a photographer / host for this event is that I don’t have shots of myself in the parteeh! And to think I wore those neat lined pajama pants!! To anyone reading this, I’d appreciate some shots where I’m in the picture! 🙂

Haha, I wish. :p
The parteeh was is still a huge success. Congrats to you people for pulling it off!
PS: I’m sure there are lots of pictures with you in them. Not one of mine, though. Sorry. 😀
Man, I wish I’ve could’ve attended something like that, but I live in Canada. Sounds like the parteeh was an awesome blast.
kiven’s babe! woooot!
KUDOS to everyone who made the blog parteeh a great event. i am looking forward to the next one and will sure not miss it.
Nice meeting you there Jayvee!!!
yeah KUDOS to all of you 🙂 I had so much fun!
Finally we bloggers have a social life! Yay!
great shots jayvee! now you can return to WOW and reach level 80 =) Sabi ni Kiven, you “exchanged” lives – he now has to work and get stressed while you get to go freelancing and play =)
We had fun and great job on hosting.. Neat b5media presentation!
SO IT IS PAJAMA PANTS! I’ve been meaning to ask about it and comment on it on my blog but I wasn’t sure. Haha. Coolness.
Nice meeting you there. And your camera is just…WOW. I’ve dreamed of having a camera like that but until now it remains a dream. =))
Sa uulitin! 😛
Your photos are great. i see your face at http://drivebyshooter.net/gallery/?a=blogparteeh07

[…] The last pair I’m featuring here are both good friends of mine. As is the case with the previous pair, they are not romantically linked. Both are Mac users, but they have vastly different blogging experiences. The lady on the left, while not new to blogging, stays anonymous on the web. The guy on the right, on the other hand, is quite well known. Jayvee loves to sensationalize – in fact, he says that “there was just too much booze, sex and several acts of frivolities going round” at the parteeh. It’s too bad I didn’t capture any of it on my camera. […]
cool party. wish I was there. next time get some pompom girls
Hi Jayvee. Nice to chat with you during the blog parteeh. Abangan ko yung plug ha.
sayang.. should’ve joined (open invitation naman ito right?) but didn’t know when it was…
To echo Ade’s sentiments, it’s great that bloggers now have a social life.
The not-much-booze part was actually a great thing. hehe
sXe!
