			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em></em>This is already a late post but we can&#8217;t get enough of it so we&#8217;ll post it anyway.</p>
<p>Last October 31, <a href="http://www.unilever.com.ph/ourbrands/personalcare/Clear.asp">Clear Anti-Dandruff Shampoo</a> in cooperation with SM Hypermarket, gave bloggers the Halloween party they&#8217;ve all been waiting for. Held at Taste Asia in Mall of Asia, the Clear Black Night Halloween Dance Party was definitely the shiznit event of the season.</p>
<p><span id="more-113"></span></p>
<p>There were also others who do not blog but still joined the party. The event was a total congregation of beauties as we got twitterpated with the lovely ladies of Clear.</p>

<p>Famous bloggers, including Ms Google Earth Philippines <a href="http://www.aileenapolo.com">Aileen Apolo</a>, were also present in the event that was organized by Unilever and SM Hypermarket. And speaking of the earth beauties, the 2008 Miss Earth candidates owned the night when some of them arrived. They were welcomed by super tycoon Herbert Sy of SM.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">Known event organizers <a href="http://janettetoral.com">Janette Toral</a> and <a href="http://azraelsmerryland.blogspot.com">Azrael Coladilla</a> were among the early birds of the night. The event can also be considered as the melting pot of all bloggers event as it was graced not only by Filipinos but by <em>imported</em> party goers as well.</p>

<p>The Clear Black Night was filled with flashes as cameras coming from different angles captured the happenings.  And of course, a party would not be complete without drinks and foods, and the event sponsors served it all free.</p>
<p>We never had the chance to finish the whole event as we too have some appointments in the morning. But with our few hours of stay, we say this was definitely one of the clearest, the best and the grandest Halloween parties we ever had.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Cebu-based blogger <a href="http://mcbilly.com">McBilly Sy</a> went to Manila last week to join other models in the Bench Blackout fashion show, and he grabbed the opportunity to meet with other bloggers.</p>
<p>After consulting with other bloggers, he set a date for a mini-eye ball: July 27, 2008, 7pm, at Gerry&#8217;s Grill Megastrip in SM Megamall.</p>
<p><span id="more-26"></span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.manilablogtimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/megamall-minieb3.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-30" title="McBilly, Marhgil and Shella at the Megamall Mini-EB " src="http://www.manilablogtimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/megamall-minieb3-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a>But that Sunday night, I was already so sweaty from walking around looking for Gerry&#8217;s Grill when I met the EB organizer.  Since we couldn&#8217;t find Gerry&#8217;s, we thought we should instead hold the EB at Dencio&#8217;s Bar and Grill at MegaStrip.</p>
<p>Pinoy SEO prince <a href="http://www.macuha.com/">Marhgil Macuha</a> and fiancée <a href="http://movieguidereviews.blogspot.com/">Shella Mojana</a> &#8212; they&#8217;re tying the knot on August 8 &#8212; also got too tired and hungry looking for Gerry&#8217;s Grill that they already went to Pizza Hut. They were about to order food before they received McBilly&#8217;s text saying the mini-EB&#8217;s venue had been changed.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.manilablogtimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/megamall-minieb1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-29" title="McBilly\'s Mini=EB at Megamall" src="http://www.manilablogtimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/megamall-minieb1-300x150.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="150" /></a></p>
<p>We also notified <a href="http://silkenhut.com/">Allen Michael Gurrea</a> and <a href="http://hiraya.co.nr/">Fjordan Allego</a> of the changed venue, and they followed us at Dencio&#8217;s. Our dinner &#8212; Bulalo, Sisig, and Kare-Kare &#8212; was eventually served.</p>
<p>We were almost done with the food when <a href="http://pinoyambisyoso.com/">Ambo</a> and his non-blogging friend Ronald arrived. McBilly wrote about Ronald: &#8220;We discovered how fun a bloggers EB is when you invite a non blogger. He was the butt of all the jokes! Haha. But Ronald was really cool about it. It was really a lot of fun! Haha.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.manilablogtimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/megamall-minieb2.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-31" title="McBilly\'s Mini-EB at Megamall" src="http://www.manilablogtimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/megamall-minieb2-300x202.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="202" /></a>Marhgil was already conducting &#8220;free blogging consultation&#8221; when <a href="http://youngmaze.com/">Jose Gabriel Diaz</a> arrived. The latter got our attention with his online shopping and real estate tips.</p>
<p>The group had so much fun that at past midnight, a waiter had to tell us to please leave the restaurant as they were already closing.</p>
