Ended my week attending Pop District Bazaar. It was so worthy and splendid! Actually im waiting this grandest event in Metro Cebu before I go back to the province to spend my christmas vacation. To give you a little trivia about PDB, Pop District Bazaar is a two-day event wherein you can shop to your favorite online shop and gather as one, also get a chance to meet and greet your favorite top or local bloggers here in the Philippines, also you can raid their closet in very affordable price. Enjoy eating deliciously foods in foodstall with matching listening to the music icons in local. All this activities gather in Cebu through one biggest bazaar. It is located at Oakridge Pavillion in Oakridge Business Park, A.S. Fortuna Street, Banilad, Mandaue City, Cebu.

I made sure to grab this opportunity since it is my second time to attend PDB out of three. The theme of Pop District Bazaar this month was "Holiday Carnival" that made the event so special since the fast approaching of Christmas and New Year holiday. It is also the time to buy some presents to be given as gifts this coming holiday. The venue was so nice and pleasant, also the people was so nice and approachable. This is what happend attending PDB last December 16 and 17.

On December 16 (friday) the first day of Pop District Bazaar. A friend of mine Ariel Guarren (@reailguarren) just came with me to discover the essence of PDB.

At first he was hesitate to come because he don't know what are really going on in PDB. When we entered the venue of event, it was our lucky day since we are the first 16th and 17th person who come first in the venue and we was given a special coupon that we can use in shopping in the bazaar on that time and in the next #pdbsummer next year. After that, we take some photos of the venue and just enter in the event. First thing we do is to meet and greet the famous poet and artist Kota Yamada (@kotayamadaph) to just sign our book, also to greet my friend Guadelyn Delfino (@guadelyndelfino) a birthday letter because she was not able to attend the event because of her big preparation debut in sunday.

Next thing we do is we just raid the closet of Jesse Jake Daan (@jessejake) a menswear blogger in cebu. I just bought his "Indian-Polo" without hesitation because it is very unique and also attrative polo tbh.

After that, we just relaxed for a moment in outside and also we begin to eat our dinner since the top blogger was not yet there in the venue. We just enjoy our dinner while listening to the music artist who perfomed on that night. At 7pm in the evening, we just still patiently waiting for the blogger to come by so that we can take pictures of them and go home and called it a day, but when the host of event announced that the blogger will be there in event at 9pm. So, we decided that we will go home early on that time and back tommorow hoping that I will meet them personally meet and greet.

In the next day, in the second-day of Pop District Bazaar in December 17 (Saturday). I just decided to go by myself in PDB since my friend won't able to attend because some errands to do. So, I just arrived in the venue and go directly to event to get a chance to meet my favorite bloggers and Thank God! They were there sitting in the sofa. At first I was hesitate to go them because theres no one who will take a picture to us. Later, theres one girl who volunteer to take a picture with them. Consider me that time as lucky. #fanboymode After that, i was given a chance to meet and greet them one by one.

Starting to "The Naturalist Blogger" Mike Miguel (@mikewillfly) He was so nice and hyper in personal tbh, he also ask me what's my name and i just replied: Ivan... Kuya Mike. That was so awkward since it my first time that one of my fave blogger to ask my name.

Next is Michael Macalos (@michaelmacalos) a Mr. Cool and Suave blogger also the "hubadero of the year". He was so nice also like Mike Miguel.

Next is "The Girl on Fire" a sexy and bold fave female blogger Katt Valdez (@kattvaldez). She was also nice and approachable.

And the last, it was my girl crush blogger also called "The Queen of Black" no other than Cha Ocampo (@chaocampo) She was super duper sweet and nice. She is the one who hug me first tbh, that's why it is my favorite picture.

After taking picture with them they decided to take a boomerang with me! and I was so really shocked! It was a great privilege to take boomerang with with my favorite bloggers. This video will be for keeps forever and ever! That is the unforgettable moment ever in my life!

Overall, the experience was awesome and unforgettable indeed! I can't wait for the next Pop District Bazaar in 2017. #pdbsummer #pdbanniversary #pdbholiday and to meet & greet my other favorite bloggers next year. Also, Congratulations! to the people behind of Pop District Bazaar, it was a success!
