Before going to the event I prepared a lot of calling card about 100 pcs. also I bring along with me a notebook and a pen thinking that I need to right about something. An Email from the admin notes that bloggers should bring calling cards, so that we can give these to the booths for their database and if they will be having raffles.


I didn't pass on all of the booths because they we're all scattered in the venue. Let me enumerate all the booths I went to:

9. Ace Water Spa - according to their site - derived from the Latin Phrase "Salus per Aquam" or "Sanitus per Aquam" meaning Health through Water. Since then, Water has been a vital element in cleansing, relaxing and healing because its curative properties. In England, back in the 16th century, the Romans came up with an idea to undergo "medicinal bathing" to soothe and treat body illnesses by the roman soldiers, thus hydrotherapy was born.

10. SOGO Hotel -  that offers you comfort, cleanliness, privacy, parking and security at affordable room. 

11. Food Panda - The leading mobile and online food ordering marketplace | Order food and take away from over 30.000 restaurants in over 35 countries. I wasn't able to have a pic with their booth but I also enjoy their mini game. 


12. Victoria Court - offers a variety of themed rooms perfect for your party.
13. Aqua Best - provide a quality drinking water. 


My overall experience here in my first Blogapalooza attendance is a mix of excitement and a little of "bitin". "Bitin" in a way that I walk around the hall and gather all the flyers, participated the mini games and talk to the sponsors, but there are some sponsors that talks a little like register here then after you register that's it. No Information about the brand or anything that I can blog about their stuffs. I also heard that previous Blogapalooza is better than this year because all the brands are interactive. I am also confused where to go first hahahaha I was overwhelmed with the lots of the people I saw. Well, for me it is not about the freebies that I got but the information that I collected from all the brands to share with my readers. I Congratulates the Organizer of Blogapalooza for a Successful event this year. Me and my Husband enjoy the event. I will surely join the next year's event to promote my blog and to be able to meet my co-bloggers. Cheers
