Written on Aug 03, 2008 // Blogging, Community Service, News, People.

Hey guys! Did you know that WordCamp is here in the Philippines, for the first time in Southeast Asia? Oh well if you still don’t know what I’m talking about, let me introduce to you, WordPress’ WordCamp. Basically, WordCamp is a conference type event that covers most likely on Wordpress blogs including the self-hosted blogs.

The event which will be participated by various bloggers all over the Philippines especially in Davao which will be not the main event but basically a mini WordCamp to be held on September 6, 2008, between 6:00 PM - 10:00 PM.

WordCamp Philippines 2008, serves as an instrument for Filipinos which may able help each and every individual to extend their knowledge and aware of some of the protocols and instructions on both self-hosted blog and WordPress Blogs.

Okay then, I’d like to thank the Mindanao Bloggers, one of the sponsor of the mini - WordCamp to be held here in Davao. I would also like to extend my best regards to the following who supported the said conference, they are as follows:

Hi, just want to air my bitchiness and 4give me 4 d word. Recently, I asked help from Kevin of http://pinoyteens.net, +639153815289 (mobile number)/ +63822440610 (landline number) with an email address service@pinoyteens.net and YM i.believe_11 who lives at Luzviminda Village Waling-waling St. 211-B, Ma-a, Davao City, Philippines, to help me with my domain (http://honeyreyes.com) since I am stupid with its technicalities in wordpress. He said he has helped a lot of bloggers for free yet I opt to give him a little reward just to help me so through gcash I sent a small amount of money (500php) even before he started to modify or edit something. I wanted to change my layout into Bradford magazine. I kept my patience coz every time we chat in YM, he has a lot of things to do in his globally famous site. I grew out of patience when after a week of not being able to post an entry or edit my own blog, he gives this message in YM that he lost his globe sim. We had an agreement he would help me for a month now, I sent him the money more than 2 weeks ago. I kept on sending him messages in YM but no reply from him even if he was online until Saturday night. I could not see him online anymore in YM which is quite unusual. I was able to rung his phone Monday morning (Aug.4) but now it’s turned off.
I do not care about the money I just want my blog back because I cannot post an entry. If he cannot help me change its layout, he should have been honest from the beginning. I promised to give him 1,000php after he finishes all the changes, that was our agreement.

ALL I WANTED WAS TO CHANGE ITS THEME TO BRADFORD MAGAZINE. I AM SO STUPID I COULD NOT DO IT ON MY OWN. I SHOULD HAVE STAYED WITH MY OLD THEME AND NOW I CANNOT EVEN BLOG ANYMORE. MY NEW POST WON’T BE PUBLISHED.

I AM POSTING THIS COMMENT TO GET KEVIN PAQUET’S ATTENTION! GIVE ME THE ID AND PASSWORD SO I CAN DELETE THE UGLY BLOG YOU SAID YOU TEMPORARILY LAID OUT FOR.

“MADALI AKONG KAUSAP. I TOLD YOU THE PREVIOUS DAYS JUST BRING BACK MY OLD BLOG AND I WON’T REQUEST FOR ANYTHING ANYMORE SINCE IT IS OBVIOUS YOU CAN’T HELP ME. YOU HAVE PUSHED ME TOO FAR BRO, THIS IS THE ONLY WAY I CAN GET YOUR ATTENTION SINCE YOU KEEP ON IGNORING ME. I KNOW MONEY IS NOT AN ISSUE FOR YOU TOO. HOWEVER, YOU SHOULD HAVE KEPT YOUR WORD.”

If possible I hope you would repost this in your blog to get his attention and tag 10 more bloggers. I JUST WANT MY F*&%ING BLOG BACK!

Sorry for the disturbance, just can’t hold my anger anymore. I am really sorry…
