Meetup Day Event : “Balik Tanaw” (Part 1)
After April 28, 2007, which was the day of first PHPUGPH.COM Grand Eyeball/Meetup Day…I ask myself,what’s next for the group that AJ founded? Before we look ahead and think of where the group will be heading, let’s recall the scenes behind the grand event.

-While going home…something came up in my mind about bringing phpugph.com and phphilippines.com members do a meetup or eyeball just like before in podium, ortigas.That very day I keep on texting “angela-phpugph.com” on the cost of renting the room in Astoria Plaza Hotel for a simple eyeball or meetup. After few exchanges of text message, “angela” confirmed that the cost per hour is PHP 1800.00/hr consumable…uhu, costly…will some member’s contribute for this humble meetup??? hmmmm.

-Since I do have a DSL connection at home I’ve informed “cruizer” on the meetup plan with “angela” thru mobile texting which we setup a YM conference with phphilippines.com group:
After some quick discussions…the first 4 head who volunteer to throw some bucks are: modtup or r00t, cruizer, vh3r and r2b2 just to make the event a reality(pang-fish ball ‘ika nga!). On that very day, I’ve posted a thread on phpugph.com on the tentative plan which sells like hotcake from the group, balls…balls… urgh!

-The plan is announce and some members are actively participating on the soon-to-be event but the group don’t have money for the event except the 4 brave souls who commit to donate some bucks. Just to make sure that the group can get more support I posted a thread for contribution (“pampa-konsensya…he..he..he…”):

-This is the BIG break for the group… when AJ informed me that a person named “Robert Locke” wanted to sponsor the place…Wooow, now the group can save money and budget the contributions to food/drinks instead.
