Blogging is all about knowing more people, and I was certainly ecstatic to meet the first blog reader to contact me and request a meeting in person, Mira from Hong Kong. Mira had been researching about places to see in Manila en route to her vacation here and came to this site. She thought it best to write me and several emails later, we finally saw each other eye to eye.
Yay! Mira was even sweet enough to bring me this delicious cranberry cookies from Aji Ichiban. I absolutely adored the cookies because they weren’t too sweet and the fact that they came in a very lovely packaging.
As for Mira herself , she was uber-vibrant and lively. Definitely no dull moment with her and am glad we hit it off completely. Moreover, I want to go to Hong Kong again..no, I will definitely fly over before the end of the year, and am glad I have an acquaintance to call when I come over to the territory:P
Mira came with her Japanese friend, Atsuko who was a first-timer to Manila and can’t wait to go back again. They got to tour the Mall of Asia, Chinatown and Makati where they were billeted. I got to join them one night in Greenbelt where they had the most fun dancing and sipping some drinks.
Three cultures, one friendship. Nice meeting you Mira & Atsuko. Till we see each other again:)
(Just a little trivia: this site’s biggest readers are from the United States, followed by Australia, Philippines, Hong Kong and the European Union. Salut, arrivederci, hola, warm greetings, mabu-hey! 😛 Thanks for dropping by)

Wow! I never had an EB with fellow bloggers yet…..hearing from friends blogger’s experiences…. It’s a far way cool than having an EB between chat mates ….sabi nga kasi mas personal ang pagkilanlanan dahil sa mga blog entries 🙂

When I go to Singapore, iistorbohin kita Nalen promise:grin: Mira isn’t really a blogger, she’s only a reader. So that completes my cycle..I’ve met blogger-friends and also my blog reader. Ang hindi ko na lang nahahanap ay blogplen, este boyfriend pala, hahaha:lol:
sachiko says

Oh please don’t let me start talking about traveling again. It’s all I’ve been thinking of lately:shock:
Mira says
My friend and I were thrilled to meet you too. You are a such fun person to talk with. We did have a great time with you in Manila!!! You ROCK! Let’s meet next time in HK!See ya next time in HK or Manila! 😆
ajay says
Sachi dear, am surprised to learn about this development. Di ko nga ma access ang site mo for a long time na. Why would a thing like that happen? Can you send me the exact IP number? Am using Bayantel DSL…
Hope your dream of someday meeting your blog friends comes true Hana:smile:
As this little tribute to you shows, I had a blast Mira. See u in HK..hopefully soon

Ye, I enjoyed meeting Ellen, one of my blog pals from Australia. Iba ang feeling parang matagal na kaming magkakilala. I hope one day magkaroon ng BLOGGER EB, sure ako ang saya noon.

I’d like to meet you too. I almost had my first meeting with a blogger friend from Switzerland during my vacation last Apr06 unfortunately kinapos ng oras.
My first time here in your historic blog (according to MB).
