Celebrating the New Pinoy lifestyle withAyosDito.ph’s I- Ball

Bloggers have fun in the 1st AyosDito iBall, held in Cowo Asia last June 8. I’ve been lucky to be invited and it was indeed a fun filled event to remember with entertainment, lot of  games and the most, raffle prizes including a Fuji Polaroid camera, Samsung Galaxy Y and Apple I-Pad 3!

John Lloyd and Solenn welcomed all the blogger-guests at the main entrance.

Filipinos have a knack for catching onto what is hip and trendy. From fashion to food, we Filipinos have been able to take a concept from other countries, give it a new twist and called it our own. Not only have we dominated social media sites like Twitter and Facebook, we have also taken to online classified ads sites like AyosDito.ph.

AyosDito.ph, the preferred online classified ads for Pinoys by Pinoys and awarded the 2011 No. 1 Classified Ads website by Digital Filipino Search Profile Index, had recently organized its first Ayos Dito I-Ball, a blogger event attended by GMA Channel 7’s latest IT-GIRL – model/artist/singer/actress Solenn Heussaff and ABS CBN Channel 2’s upcoming  dramatic actor John Medina  and funny yet naughty DJ Tony Toni of Magic 89.9 at the COWO Asia in Ortigas Center, Pasig City.
