Good news. Classes in Mapua are already finished which means I’ll now have more time to concentrate on PinoyBlogero.com and on the new blog that I am planning to build. Oh, I’ll also have more time to prepare for my talk on one of the biggest blogging conference here in the Philippines, IBlog4. Hay. Buhay blogging, ang saya!

Anyways, here are some interesting articles and events that happened in the Pinoy blogosphere throughout the whole week:
