Remember the TV show, ‘Lovingly Yours, Helen‘, from many years ago? Each episode of the show was based on a letter sent in by a viewer looking for advice. Tita Helen narrated as the show presented the viewer’s problem. At the end of the show, Tita Helen would give her advice to the letter-sender.
Seeing that there seems to be quite a few Filipina Soul readers who seek advice from their friends in our community, I thought it would be appropriate to give them a place where they could gather to seek and offer advice, as well as just to chat …read more

I have spent a wonderful 2 days here at the Blog World Expo 2008. Friday was the b5media bloggers’ summit. I’ve been with b5media for 3 years and this was the first time I’ve met any of them face to face! Saturday was the first day of BWE. I attended some great talks, and learned a lot, which I am just so excited to be applying to my blogging ASAP!
For now, I will post just one photo. Three of us from the Travel and Culture Channel made it to this year’s event. We represented the channel very well, even if …read more

Will you be in Las Vegas this weekend?
I’ll be attending the b5media Bloggers’ Summit on September 19, 2008 and then BlogWorld Expo on September 20-21, 2008. I hope to meet you if you’ll be there too! There are a lot of great sessions planned, which should make for an educational weekend (don’t worry, there will be fun too!). There will also be exhibits for various social media tools to dig through. b5media will have a booth (#309), so do stop by to say hello!

Thanks to everyone who joined the contest for a Maxtor OneTouch 4 Mini give-away! The response was simply overwhelming!
But an interesting thing happened. I asked the readers to pick their favorite posts from a list of twenty-best posts from Filipina Soul. Well, some of the entries wrote their comments on the best-blog post when they clearly meant it for the contest post. SO, because I didn’t want to forfeit so many people, I am including both posts for the total number of entries (180+158=338). Fair enough?
And now, we have a winner!

Congratulations, Anthony! I will …read more
