Three years ago, I started
blogging as a means of letting my in-laws know of our activities here in Manila
since we live away from them. Now, blogging
evolved as a hobby to me, and I blog as a passion. I became a member of a lot of online
communities for bloggers and one of my favorite online communities is Mommy Bloggers Philippines (MBP). It is an online
community of mommy bloggers with over 600 members.
MBP has created a lot of
events, and I am happy to say that I have attended most of them. Most of these events are intimate just like
the MBP Christmas Party 2016. Thus, not
all mommy bloggers were able to attend.
Good thing the nice ladies managing the MBP community thought about MBP Gift Swap.
MBP Gift Swap is an
exchange gift within the members of MBP.
Around 50 mommies participated in
the MBP Gift Swap. My MBP Gift Swap recipient
is Berlin of www.momiberlin.com. I gifted her with Chinkee Tan’s Why God Wants You to Prosper. I love reading books and this book is really
something nice to read.
I am the MBP Gift Swap recipient
of Joey of www.joeydragonlady.com
. Here’s what I received from her. She gave me a lot of reading materials both
for Neo and me! J
I do blog hops, but since a
lot of bloggers have already emerged, I haven’t been introduced to a lot. This is a very nice chance to read and be
introduced to Joey’s blog. It was nice
to know that Joey is also a foodie like me who loves to try different
restaurants and various foods. But what
really amazes me about her is that she’s an ajumma! I love watching Korean dramas when time
permits, and am glad I found her blog.
Thanks to Mommy Bloggers
Philippines’ MBP Gift Swap as we get to know more about the other mommies in
the Philippines who share the same passion as we do: blogging.
PS: Let me also thank several generous sponsors
will give gifts to top 10 MBP Gift Swap participants. These are: Contadina, Tupperware, Lorenzana Lorins Patis and Lorins Bagoong Alamang Guisado, myPhone Watch, Villa del Conte Chocolates, Arla, and Poetry Magnets.
I'm not a bookworm but I love reading inspirational books. Gusto ko din magprosper this coming year 2017. Sometimes, I do blog hopping but sa dami talaga ng bloggers, ang hirap mameet lahat.
ReplyDeleteI want to prosper too! :)
DeleteLike you, I enjoy reading blogs, mostly about parenting and food and travel... parang lahat na. Again, thank you for the book. As ive mentioned I am so ready to prosper and i know your gift will is a big instrument for me to achieve that.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Momi Berlin.
DeleteWow! That was a nice book by Chinkee Tan. Sad I wasn't able to join the MBP gift swap because of my busy schedule. All the best to all the participants.
ReplyDeleteSana there will be a next MBP Gift Swap next year para a lot of mommies can join too.
DeleteI've seen Joey once in a foodie event back in Feb this year yata. Haven't seen her again, since then. I bet Neo will like his gifts! I didn't join the gift swap this time. Maybe next year, I'll be able to participate.
ReplyDeleteThe gift swap gave me a nice experience. sana you can join too :)
DeleteHopefully this year, I can join sis. hehe. Mejo nawala lang talaga sa isip ko ito sa sobrang dami ng kailangang gawin last month! Happy new year, sis!
DeleteOooh, what a great book! I want to read that too. I've got tons here I haven't even touched yet. I hope I cover as many as I can this Christmas break!
ReplyDeleteMe too... a lot of books, books, books to read hahaha
DeleteI barely had a Christmas vacation. :( But I've listed 6 I want to read this year. Adulting is hard!
DeleteThat book is nice, I didn't join the gift swap because it's hard for me to go in the market. Ang hirap pag may makulit na bata. I love reading noon but ngayon medyo hirap na, because of my time management subrang busy na. But I read blogs and news online. Pero pag mga series nako wala nang time.
ReplyDeleteI love readin talaga. It helps me relax. Pero its true na when you have little kids na, ang hirap to find time na magbasa.
DeleteAhh..I missed the MBP gift swapping event- now I am regretting it..haha. It is nice to know that you've got a gift that you totally dig and at the same time get to know a fantastic woman and my friend Joey. This activity really is an awesome way to meet fantastic moms and bloggers too. Perhaps I could join this year- sana. (macy)
ReplyDeleteWow, I super love reading. Pahiram ako when you're done please. Charot!
ReplyDeleteI have never attended an MBP event. But I am looking forward to be part of one now that I am back in the Philippines. :)
ReplyDeleteThat is a great book to read.I really like the MBP Gift Swap idea. Hope meron uli next year
ReplyDeleteAh, I missed the swap but that's so great you guys had a fun experience! I'm going to join this year for sure!
ReplyDeleteI am fortunate to be part of MBP. I missed the gift swapping but I will surely join this year. Hopefully I can be part of the Christmas party as well to meet fellow mommy bloggers.
ReplyDeleteBooks are one of the best gifts ever. It's like travelling without living your house! :) So sad that I wasn't able to attend the Christmas party because I just gave birth but happy for you and your Christmas gifts! :)
ReplyDeleteI love Chinkee Tan's books. He is also a good speaker and brings a touch of comedy to otherwise really serious topic.
ReplyDeleteHello Nerisa! Truly, intimate bloggers' parties are fun. :) It's fun seeing the people behind the blogs, and talking to them in person. Bonus, may gifts pa!
ReplyDeleteSayang, I wasn't able to join the Gift Swap. Everything was so hectic last Christmas season. Great gifts, btw :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great book for my gaw Berlin, I like it. I love reading books too specially devotional books. It helps me to encourage and entertain myself for my boredom world.
ReplyDeleteSo nice to know that you gained a new friend with the MBP Gift Swap, and very nice reading materials which your boy will surely enjoy. Here's to more blogging friends this year!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that I was able to join the MBP gift swap also as I often cannot attend the events. I hope this becomes a tradition so that we can all get to know each other more. :)
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately for me, I wasn't able to join either the MBP Christmas Party or the gift swap. Nice to know you enjoyed the gift swap experience though. Hope I can participate in the next one.
ReplyDeleteHow nice... I hope I can join this year's gift swap or attend MBP party. I once thought of deleting my blog because I rarely have time for it. But soon realized that I don't want to cut my connection to such groups and vanished my own space online.
ReplyDeleteAng ganda ng gift mo for Momi Berlin, sis. And nakakatuwa naman maka-receive din ng gift not just for yourself but for your baby Neo's use din. Sayang hindi ako nakasali sa last year's MBP Gift swap. Natambakan ako ng ibang gawain until nalimutan ko na. Haha! Hopefully this year. :)
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed the MBP gift swap experience. It was a really nice way to get to know other mommy bloggers that we have in the group since we don't get to see each other that often. I hope there will be another one this year. :) Here's to prosperity for 2017! Cheers!
ReplyDeleteLike you, I also enjoyed this Christmas Gift Swap from MBP. I also love the gift/s I received from my gift swap partner.
ReplyDeleteIts fun receiving gifts from fellow mommy blogger whom you haven't met yet. Will try to join next year if meron ulet!
ReplyDeleteThis is really nice. I would have loved the same presents. :) I like giving books and receiving them as gifts. :) Hope I can join next time.
ReplyDeleteWow that was fun and exciting to recieve gifts! I wanted to join next MBP gift swap! :)
ReplyDeleteThe gift swap challenge seemed to be a fun challenge to everyone who joined. I hope I'll be able to join this year's gift swap if there will still be another run.
ReplyDeleteThis year's gift swap was indeed successful. Although I didn't join because I know I can't find time to write anymore because of the holiday rush last December, I enjoyed reading your posts about it...
ReplyDeleteI like the book you gave to mommy Berlin, will check it out nga.
