windows7ako Community meet-up!

Just got home from the Windows7Ako community meet-up and it was fun 🙂

Yep, couple of PHIWUG guys was also there. Also saw Pauvi, while Ralph, and Chay hosted the meet-up.

 

Also saw Liezl Milan there, ambush shout-out to her for our PHIWUG event next week 😀 Thanks in advanced!

Played some games along with other PHIWUG members as team mates. Lost, but hey it was fun fun.

This venue actually has two folds for PHIWUG, the event itself and a place where we can meet again and regroup personally for the event that we are planning next week. Goin to announce the details later. Nice to see the gang get together 🙂

As a representative, our current PHIWUG President Faelmar, did a song and a sort of dance number, well a venue also to promote msforums, our website and the event that we are going to do next week. Bong, love the song, next time lets keep the dancing 😛
