Bloggers United #BU9xSMART

Bloggers United: #BU9xSMART
How does one tick an item off of their bucket list? Do you simply cross it out or will you make a diary entry out of it? I'm full on sentimental so diary entries and photos will have to come with little mementos too. I'm happy to announce that I've finally ticked an item off and brought home some souvenirs. Last Saturday marked my very first Bloggers United experience and boy was it epic! Living in Cebu meant having to hop onto a plane which wasn't really feasible at the time. This year however, the stars aligned. Not only did I get to attend but I scored tickets for myself and my sister thanks to a contest hosted by the generous BU team. So pardon the fangirling, the extreme gushing and the humongous photo dump. An epic diary of last week's Bloggers United experience is coming your way! 

For those of you who don't know, Bloggers United is Manila’s first-ever bloggers' bazaar featuring the country's top fashion and beauty digital influencers. It's a place to score great deals, to make new friends, to meet your favorite bloggers and if you're lucky enough, you'll even see them take their #ootds in action! Check this out if you want to know what I mean. *wink*

Since the event called for a denim theme, I brought out my trusty pair of denim shorts. These "bae"-sic piece of clothing is a must for the hot and humid Manila weather. I'm telling you, ice cream and ACs are your best friends in this city.

Smart provided this cute iPhone inspired backdrop for everyone's group shots! I met up with Kay, one of the good friends I've gotten to know through Camille Co's birthday dinner. She was with her younger sister Sandra and I was with my baby sister Rhob. Full on sister act!

iFlix was also present and handed everyone these specially designed canvas bags. Style and function was the name of the game. With all the shopping happening around, these bags really came in handy.

There were free mocktails for everyone and sick beats from the talented DJs. The Smart Always in Barkada was also present to join in the fun! Say hi to Laura Lehmann, Arnold Van Opstal, Richard Hwan, Janeena Chan and DJ Inno Naguit!

Oh and your eyes aren't fooling you. Those are H&M gift certificates and a smashing GoPro Hero 4 Silver! Lucky readers and attendees got to bring them home for participating in the various games.

I'll be flooding you with photos of the bloggers now. You can exit this tab if you're sick of seeing my face. LOL. Proceed with caution folks!

Friendly and goofy David Guison of DG Manila! That "akbay" pose tho. *insert iyak-tawa emoticon*

Sweet and sophisticated Camille Co of Camille Tries to Blog! Obviously, Cams is my all time favorite blogger. Need proof? *cough, cough*

 Bloggers United: Stacy and Danah Gutierrez
Body image warriors and twins  Stacy and Danah Gutierrez of The Plump Pinay! These two taught me a lot about self love and acceptance.

 Bloggers United: Vern and Verniece Enciso
Sandwiched between sister duo Vern and Verniece Enciso of V♥V! These two looked like dolls in real life. Hermosa!

 Bloggers United: Patricia Prieto and Dani Barretto
Uber kulit Patricia Prieto of Paradigma and Dani Barretto of Style is Eternal! You should have seen Patricia running around and doing crazy dance moves. She was such a joy to watch!

 Bloggers United: Kryz Uy and Laureen Uy

Of course, my sister Rhob had her share of photos too. I love you baby sis/photographer/teddy bear!

Now that was a mouthful and a ton of photos. Are your screens still alive? Till the next Bloggers United event! Ciao chikas.
