As I search in the net, there are lots of bloggers already who blog about Mindanao Bloggers Summit 3 (and register) which is held at Cagayan de Oro City and it was hosted by the CDO BLOGGERS Inc. These are my reasons why I would like to join this event in this coming October 24, 2009.

1. I’m sure that this event I will meet new friends of bloggers and I know they will excited also to meet other bloggers.
2. I heard that during the Mindanao Bloggers Summit, CDO Bloggers will given away Nokia cell phones, Havaianas and many more… (wwoooww, how I wish I can get one..:-)).
3. I’m so excited also for those bloggers who will receive awards for the Philippine Blog Awards which is held also at this same day and that was after MBS3.
4. The most exciting is the 2^nd day because of the adventures that I will expect. If you are an adventurous person then you can try their White Water Rafting or if afraid the on water you can go with the City Tour.

I know lots of bloggers wonder why they pay for this event; the answer of this question is in the #4. Paying 1000 pesos for the rafting is so cheaper compare to the regular price that you will pay and also 500 pesos. For me paying 500 or 1000 pesos is nothing because I know I will surely enjoy this event and I know I can find way to get this money back. They said that “Kong gusto ay may paraan at kakayanin at kong ayaw may dahilan”. So what you are waiting now guys sign up to the registration form and CDO BLOGGERS are waiting for you.:-) So think guys this is once a year event and every year you will meet new friends in the world of blogging..

But month of August is already passed and what we will do..? There is no already celebration happened in the next 4 months that kagay-anons can be proud off. Ooooppppsss if you think like that then you are wrong. October 24, 2009 is one of the big months of Kagay-anons, why? It is because CDO BLOGGERS will be hosting the Mindanao Bloggers Summit 3 (MBS3) here in Cagayan de Oro with the aim of “Mindanao Bag-uhon ang Panan-aw”. This time bloggers from all over Mindanao will have a gathering and even bloggers from Luzon and Bisayas will be attending on this big event. You wonder why it is already 3 and not 1 and 2..? it is because the Mindanao Bloggers Summit 1 was held at Davao last 2007 and the Mindanao Bloggers Summit 2 was held at General Santos city (Gen San) last 2008, the bloggers of this 2 blooming city is so active and organize. It is time for the Kagay-anons to host this big event for bloggers.

Last August 29-31, 2009 CDO GUIDE went to Cebu to experience the new adventure in life together with the Co-CDOBLGGERS and some friends. This trip was planned two (2) months ago; we went to Cebu with three reasons. 1^st is for the business reason ( try to visit the Online Shopping) and 2^nd is to try and experience the first and tallest Edge Coaster in the Philippines and their Skywalk which is located along Osmena Boulevard Cebu at Crown Regency Hotel and the 3^rd and last is to meet Cebu Bloggers Society (CBS).

We arrived Cebu ahead of our schedule, so instead of getting some taxi to ride on to the city we decided to walk and explore their airport the Cebu Mactan Airport. We just simply ride a jeep going to Mandaue and approaching Mandaue we hire a taxi to our next distinction, the Pacific Pensionne House. After check in, we text ChiQ Montes to meet us at Crown Regency to start our first freaky adventure in life the Edge Coaster which is located at the 38^th floor of the Crown Regency Hotel (521 feet below the ground). Correct me if I’m wrong but I think this hotel is the tallest hotel in the Philippines. The experience of Edge Coaster is so atrocious which you feel you were hanging at the building, the position of the coaster is like 45 degrees angle but your position is 90 degrees angle, but you have an option on what angle you would like because you are the one who control the angle of the coaster.

After this weird adventure of Edge Coaster we try also the Skywalk which is located at the 37^th floor of the hotel. So from 38^th floor we go down just one floor for the Skywalk adventure. In this adventure, we just walking the path around the Regency Hotel and the experience is just like you are in the moon walking with our nice attire suit and harness for our safety. But before we walk around there is a short briefing for our safety. By the after this two adventure we receive a certificate each of survival.

In the next day of craziness in Cebu we try the Kart and it was so fun. For 300 pesos per person plus 25 pesos for the rent of their helmet which is 325 pesos all in all you can now ride kart for 30 minutes which is not enough for fun.:-). And by the way before I forgot, we fail to meet CBS and only ChiQ meet them:-( But we are waiting for you guys in Mindanao Bloggers Summit 3

There may be literally a hundred wonderful places to visit in the Philippines – in fact, Pangasinan’s Hundred Islands can already claim a hundred of those wonderful places without any difficulty – but there is one place in the country that you must make time to visit and that’s Cebu, also known as La Reina del Sol or the Queen of the South.

Cebu is located in the Visayas, the smallest of the three main islands in the Philippines. To travel to Cebu, you may take an hour long flight or a 22 hour long boat ride from Manila. Cebu is also accessible from other foreign cities such as Hong Kong and Tokyo.

If you’re worried about language barriers being factor, Cebu is populated by English Speaking Filipinos, more fluent in fact than their civilian brothers in Manila, the capital city of the Philippines.

Destination Points of Cebu
So that you won’t need any travel guide once you get to Cebu, Philippines, here is a list of the best travel spots of Cebu.

Magellan’s Cross
In the 19th of April, less than five hundred years ago, Spanish explorer Ferdinand Magellan discovered the Philippines and planted a cross as remembrance of that fateful day. It is also the spot where the first Filipino Christians were baptized. Travel to Magellanes St. if you want to catch sight of this beautiful cross.

Aznar-Alfonso Antique Collection
Cebu is a city that is deeply rooted in religion and this is highly visible in the beautiful collection of santoses or statues of Jesus Christ during his childhood owned by Dr. Lydia Aznar-Alfonso. Besides the former, there is also a collection of antique furniture, jewelry and grave goods or objects from archaeological diggings in Mactan and Cebu.

Mactan Island
Never ever forget to drop by the idyllic Mactan Island, home to world class beaches and resorts, when you travel to Cebu. This coral-blessed island is also a great favorite among scuba divers so get your artificial fins ready if you also want to explore the underwater beauty of Mactan Island.

Kawasan Falls
There seems to be nothing as majestic and as amazing as when one views the powerful rush of a waterfall If you are in awe of waterfalls just like many people are, do make sure that you drop by Kawasan Falls, located at Matutinao, Badian.
