Happy Birthday, Mr. Bariles!

Yesterday, I’ve received a very special SMS informing me that the sender is celebrating his birthday today and he is enjoining everyone to help him set a world record for the most number of greetings received to one person in the world wide web! Do you find it impossible? Well, knowing him, I don’t. It is actually just within reach.  

As of this writing, he already got 194 comments. How is that for a birthday greeting online? It’s absolutely a feat! This man is behind the success of the 2nd Mindanao Bloggers Summit in October 2008  here in GenSan. And he is the author of the famous place blog Gensantos.com, An Idiot’s Guide to General Santos City.

I so admire this “healthy creature” for being such a friendly, helpful and above all this, he is a very passionate man. Not only as a blogger but as a resident of Gensan, a true General at heart and mind. Which reminds me, he was asking for a Paypal donation in December for him to be able to purchase a lappy for himself. I promised him a dime which I will send to him after publishing this post .

My vote of confidence for this blog was very well deserved when Gensantos.com made it to the Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs in 2008! 

This man is none other than…

MR. AVEL MANANSALA!

Happy, Happy Burpday to you, Sir! Stay blessed always! 

With Mindanao Bloggers During the 2nd Mindanao Bloggers Summit. 

Standing beside me on my right is the burpday boy ;-)

   Dear Lainy … you must surely be the advert queen of the day. I don’t know how many blogs I have visited only to see your blog in the advert space. You should surely climb to the number one position my dear friend.

   I hope that you don’t mind but I have awarded your other blog with some awards and as you call yourself Scotty’s princess – I have called you Princess Lainy … for you surely are!!

   Kadaghan pud sa iyang comments Leyn oi..unsa na 194 comments minus his replies to that comments?or 194 bloggers jud ang nag comment..sikata jud kung later ang tubag..hehe!Lupigan naman c maruca =)

   @ TWERLYN:

   That is including all his replies, Lermz. But he wasn’t able to reply to all. He is a very busy man.

   Oh! GP is a personal blog while Gensantos.com is a place blog. Most of Mr. Bariles’ followers are from Mindanao. GP is still the most commented personal blog in the blogosphere, that’s including all her replies, too ;-).
