Last January 9, 2008, me and my friends, Audrey & Eric, attended the Blogger Food Tour at Trinoma. The event was organized by Yehey! and it was a blast! Actually, I'm not yet an active blogger at that time but Audrey kept on telling me to try it so I did. I met a lot of bloggers in the said event and they were really nice. It's my first time to join a blogger event and I really had fun...
