Why am I getting traffic from Disney?

Checked my stats (I’m glad to say I rarely do this) and for some bizzare reason, my top referal link comes from Walt Disney, so far beating Ala Paredes’ link to me as number one.

On a related note, I’ve just hit 8,000+ visits for July with 3,000+ uniques. That’s roughly 72,000+ hits and I rarely post more than one picture per post. Yayness. Thank you to everyone who reads this site.

Don’t links that redirect to Disney usually come from the “I am under the age of 13” online site agreements? Hmmm. *shrug*

3rd blogger meetup

UPDATE: I’m getting an overwhelming response from many parties. This by itself is already a good thing for Globe. Dinner cancelled. Just kidding! I’m trying to grab more slots to accomodate a lot more people. I hope you guys understand that this is not my event. I will try my best though. I will update you all over the weekend.

I was contacted by the senior brand manager of Globe Innove to help organize a short evening meet and greet for bloggers to try out the milieux of services offered by Innove, namely the wireless Internet capabilities deployed throughout the Metro as well as the provinces.

The objective of Innove is really to ride on the viral nature of blogging (i.e. The Mike Abundo Effect) in the Philippines by asking high traffic bloggers and pseudo-celebrity-status bloggers create buzz about their services, god or bad. Well, there isn’t much negative spin you can generate with Innove’s services, especially in the Metro, so good for them.

Since this event isn’t organized by me, I was given a slot limit for the evening. I already have about five people who are interested to join. Send me a comment if you’re interested. Note that to give Globe a bang for their buck, it would be preferable if your site has a relatively huge reach.

WOFEX 2006: The search for the funniest franchise name

My friend and I went to WOFEX 2006 (World Food Expo) to find good stuff to bring home, take pictures with cute mascots and search for the funniest franchise name for 2006. There were some runner ups but we narrowed it down to three.

Third place went to Balut Eggspress.
