Yes, Virginia, there is a God
Based on last night’s BlogParteeh, here are 10 reasons to prove why there is a God:
10. G
ot to meet, greet, and take photos with the bloggers on my wish list, including Noemi, Abe, and Migs.
9. Joni was thinking she’d have no one to hang out with. Turns out my wallflower officemate ended up becoming Ms Popular. Who would’ve thunk?
8. Apparently, some people thought I was noisy and obnoxious boisterous. I’m sorry, was I? That’s great; I thought people would think I was shy and demure. (Nothing kills a party like silent people. What, you wanna sit around and stare at each other?)
7. Three whole Christians and one atheist at a table, and no food fight. Lord, ang galing Ninyo.
6. There are people who blog about good 
things in this world. Kudos to you, Jun.
5. I got a picture with BO SANCHEZ! Hahahaha! This man rocks my socks! And check out the photos - the holy man matched me wide grin for wide grin!
4. I sat at the luckiest most God-blessed tab
le ever. Like, everyone at my table won a prize. Geri took home too many prizes to count.
3. The winner of the I-Pod, AJ, accepted his prize in the coolest way ever - arms on sides, head slightly tilted, with that, well, yeah, so here I am, sorry folks, my prize grin on this face. There is a God because the winner wasn’t some boisterous person who felt entitled to it. I wish I was half as droll.
2. I won the prize I wanted. Sure, I didn’t win the IPod, nor the classy speakers. But the one prize I did want, I got. I won the Bubba Gump gift cert! Yummy shrimp meal, here I come!
And the number one reason why there is a God…
1. Benj and I didn’t end up killing each other (well, he 
would’ve killed me if there weren’t too many witnesses). Turns out that he’s not as… um… freakishly scary as I thought. No knives or anything. I left the party feeling much, much better. That still won’t stop me from whupping his ass on PEx when he gets all vitriolic.

Hey, it was great meeting you guys at the party.
Ganns!!! Found you again! hehe
Glad you had fun at the party. I sooo wish I could have been there.
AnP: There you are! Link love, link love!
Jonas: I think I saw you. Were you the Jonas there? Was kinda intimidated to approach you.
You wanted me to to go hell mr deen? naawwwwww **cue spontaneous combustion** hahahah
i’ll link you up in a while
i was floating on air the whole time i did the ‘act’ (and i didn’t even know i was doing the ‘act’).
i’m still on my own little dream world.
[...] ==================== Ganns wrote something funny about the way I accepted the iPod. “3. The winner of the I-Pod, AJ, accepted his prize in the coolest way ever…” [...]
You? Quiet and demure? *snorts* Right.
Haha, peace!
I was really glad to see you again! And congrats on the Bubba Gump. Your reaction last night when you won the prize was truly one of the best ones I’ve seen.
Great site you have here. Would love to do a link exchange with you. (http://nostalgiamanila.blogspot.com) Keep up the good work.

oi, i get to be number one!
Kudos to Jeff for the nice photo. hehe. No mention of Marcelle? You found his magic tricks a bit too Satanic? haha
Jonas was there, he was with Marcelle.
I saw you at the parteeh! You really seemed to be grateful of your Bubba Gump Gift certificate.
[...] Meeting old friends from my PinoyExchange (PEx) days: Apples and superoverhyper Ganns. [...]
Ganns, I don’t think you were noisy. I think you were noisy noisy. There’s a world of difference, hehe.
Kidding, of course!
I had a great time. Congrats sa Bubba Gump GCs! Enge shrimp!
forgot to tell you last night that i love your shirt
i once (or still) look like pringles with my mustache 
u sure got the crowd for winning that bubba gump gift check… nice to see you man
[...] ganns - for that remarkable bubba gump gc [...]
Nice strut! Go Bubba Gump Man!
Yes, people, I did want the Bubba Gump gift cert. I am glad I got it. And I am also glad that nagpakatotoo ako sa reaction ko when I won. I’m glad most of you were happy for me.
Yes, I am noisy. Yes, I am boisterous. Yes, I can be a bit loud. But at the end of the day, I hope we still had fun together.
Jeff: I kid you in the name of Jesus. Be my new workout guru. I could use it. After all, Benj couldn’t believe I was that fat.
Benj: Believe it or not, I completely forgot about the ’satanic’ magic act.
Darwin: I really wanted to meet you, bro. Sorry I was ‘too shy to go around.’
Poell: It was awesome meeting you. Link love, link love!
Regnard: LOL Thanks. When you can’t dance, all you can do is strut like a rooster. Hahaha!
Where did the phrase “Yes, Virginia, …..” come from? I see it used a lot but don’t know where it came from.
Woohoo pictures! Now take Cathy and Nathan out to some Bubba Gump lovin’!
This is the story of Virginia O’Hanlon.

how many people attended?
A LOT. Hahahaha! More than 100 people in that room easily.
Wow, saya. Glad you had fun, and that you got what you wanted.
You’re such a nice guy. Yes there is a God to have brought you to this world.
Ms Noemi: WOW. You’ve graced my blog! Welcome!

Nice meeting you, liz!
I’ll let you know, Marhgil. Hope you can come to Makati.
The 3 of us are based here, e.
Uyy, you’re not boisterous noh. Haha! I really enjoyed your company, of course. Sayang hindi ako naka-hitch ng ride sa’yo. May kasabay kasi, I promised him I’d go with him and I didn’t want to back out, so there.
Sana maulit muli. *winks*

Marhgil, ayos ah. Ermita din ako. Dito lang ako sa Robinsons. hehe.
Dito nalang, Ganns! lololol.
Hahaha! Why don’t you guys get together?
There are Makati bloggers, and there are Manila bloggers. Don’t let us stand in your way just because there’s a geographical difference.
Ganns, Mae, –Please make the lunch On Thursday or Friday.
Is it okay to spill the beans of this lunch to the main blogparteeh site? Of course dadami tayo nyan. Carlo’s based in Makati, too.
Jomar
Correction, Kim Chiu resembles me lols
@ MAE: Yan naman ang hirit!
Panalo!
I wish I could tag along too…but I’m at Ortigas. Oh well. Have fun.
Jomar: Sige, tell the world, but the place is kinda small. Basta be there at 1130am to make sure may silya kayo.
It’s Friday at Chef D’Angelo Greenbelt, beside Mercury Drug.
yahuu! please email me jomar.hilario@gmail.com your cellphone numbers..wag na dito sa comment post.

Hello Ganns. Sorry I wasn’t able to go to your get-together in Makati. I got a regular job and all, not like Abe, the problogger. Hehehe.
Till the next blogger party. =)
