Hi guys! Last Saturday I attended the second installment of Bloggers United, the Bloggers United 2. I wasn't able to attend the first one because of school and other commitments. I promised myself I will not miss the next one, though. So here we go. :)
I arrived there a little around 11:30am. The event was scheduled to start at 11am. I came all the way from Bulacan, and I had to take the MRT then a cab to reach the place. I then went upstairs and got greeted by a long line. I am not exaggerating when I say it was long. The photo above is the number of people in front of me, and there were still a lot of people behind me. Anyway, I didn't really mind the queue because I was waiting for my blogger friends to arrive too. Unfortunately, I had to wait for almost 2 hours for them to get to the event. That two hours was spent me sitting on the bleachers being awkward. *sad face*
This was the view from my lonely spot at the bleachers. Haha!
Thank goodness for this girl, Bianca, though. She approached me when I was about to die of boredom (haha) and asked for a photo. This was my first time to ever receive a request like that, by the way. Ganoon pala ang feeling! Anyway, she told me she saw me outside in the line too but was too shy to approach. I'm glad she came to me the second time around though. Thank you for making my day, Bianca! Please relay my thank you to your Mom too for taking our photo! :)
With Charlene Ajose, I’ve known her since the time when Friendster was the best social networking site yet. :) She has been very nice even here on Tumblr. I’m glad to see her in person.
Here's a photo from her camera. Read what she wrote about the event here. :)
Anyway, 30 minutes after that *kiligzmoment* I finally decided to go around the bazaar. I was still alone at that time, though. By that time most of the good stuff has been bought already. I went around the stalls and found some really interesting things, but never things that I really wanted and had to buy. I ended up buying accessories though. I bough a silver bracelet from Aivan Magno (above) Hello! I love your studded jacket! :D
This illustration caught my eye. It's from Bjorn and Vern's booth. I am now regretting that I didn't take one of those printed photos. I love Bjorn's style in photography.
My forever girl crush, Vern Enciso! I loved her outfit that day. <3
This would be Nina Ricci's "Sunday girl" She gave me a scented apple on a stick, too! I love their Sunday Girl music video. I usually don't like overly girly stuff, but there is always an exception to every rule, right? I wouldn't mind having a shoot like this in the future. <3 Watch the video here.
Some of the things that caught my eye.
This is me and my BB Dianne taking photo booth photos. Haha!
I also saw Valerie Chua! I am a fan of her artworks. She is an amazingly talented, beautiful girl. I also saw Dominique Tiu. I first saw her in person during the Multiply Shopping party, and I will never get tired of saying that she is beyond gorgeous. Valerie and Domz would be my two favorites from the "Gondo Girls" (I love all of them though)
Here is another sweet girl who came up to me and asked for a photo. Hello Patricia! It was nice meeting you! :D

Flipbook booth over at Rio Mints! Dianne got to take home the flipbook though. Let me see it again next time, BB! :D
Meg magazine was giving away copies of their September 2011 issue too. Thank you Meg for giving me a copy! :)
Spotted segment! This is Steffi Ramos. They own Sophie's Mom. I first saw her at the bathroom and I decided that wasn't an appropriate place to ask her for a photo. Haha! Good thing I bumped into her again (after people from STACHE Magazine asked me if they can take my outfit photo. OMG) though. I had a little chat with her asking about why they didn't have a stall at BU2. I've been wanting to try their goodies ever since I first read about them. Hi Steffi! I love your outfit! I hope to try your goodies soon! <3
Designer Renz Pangilinan. I love his necklace!
Time to take outfit photos! (Above: Jesrhel and Jessa)
And in the middle of this, another (!!!) sweet girl went up to me asking for a photo. Hello Charmagne! It was nice meeting you! :)
With @charleneajose :) http://lockerz.com/s/162218430
To know more about my outfit for that day, you can view this post.
And a photo with my BBs before I leave!
Anyway, this event wouldn't be possible without the "Powerpuff girls" namely Melai of Style and Soul , Ana of The Fashionista Commuter and Aisa of Drowning Equilibriums! Also, thank you so much to Megann of Style Surgery for adding me in her guest list! Thank you girls! :)
I headed to SM Megamall afterwards to meet with my Tita and my inaanak Denden. I rode an FX from Market!Market! to get there. I didn't know it was such a hassle to wait for the FX to get filled. I waited for almost an hour! Anyway, we went to the Department store to get Denden a barong for an upcoming wedding he's attending. I love the Chinese collar on him! I also went to Forever21 and bought a knitted sweater (something that I have been looking and longing to buy since forever) I have been buying almost everything online now, and it's a refreshing change to go inside an actual store to buy things.
We then ate a McDonalds afterwards (just because Denden wanted to get a toy haha!) I ordered Chicken Nuggets (toddler food haha) and my favorite apple pie. Yay apple pie!
After eating, I then changed into flats, took off my accessories, and went off to catch a bus that will take me home to Bulacan. Fashionista commuter kung fashionista commuter! Haha.
I do not know how to end this post (awkward) so I'll just say this. Thank you for reading! :D
