“Don’t Discriminate”, says BB Gandanghari during the Bloggers Meet And Greet
Saturday afternoon we had the chance not just to meet and greet BB Gandanghari but to ask questions as well. This was made possible by Filipina Images (specifically Noemi and Dine)and the Philippine Online Chronicles or the POC.
For those who are wondering who BB Gandanghari is, she is now the persona known formerly as Rustom Padilla. Yes, that handsome matinee idol.
BB is articulate and she answers questions straight to the point. She has a sense of humor too and not to mention a great fashion sense.
I asked whether BB if there were any face-to-face in your face nasty remarks thrown at her and she said that she is happy that nothing like that has happened. The only “nasty” remark said was when she used the female restroom in one of the hip places in the Metro.
He thanked us bloggers for taking time out to see her for whatever reasons we have and to ask questions and for meeting her in person.
One of the things said that captured my interest was this line: “Change is good”
And to that I say, yes, change is good.

I Vote for my Friend Rachel :)
First things first, I am voting for Rachel of My Soulful Thoughts for the Bloggers’ Choice Awards for the 2008 Philippine Blog Awards.
I could have written my post here in my main blog where we virtually met. In fact we have had two personal meetings, a lunch and a dinner. The dinner gave us the chance to meet her husband who is incidentally called by the nickname my close friends and family call me.
I chose to cast my vote in this blog because through a weekly post that we do with other bloggers, I have come to know her more not just as a blogger but as a friend.
Anyway, back to Rachel and why I chose to vote for her.
- First off, I am proud to say that we are real-life friends. Even if we just saw each other twice, I feel really close to her, like she is a long-lost friend.
- That she loves her son Yohan and her husband casts no doubt to her readers.
- She is well-known in the blogosphere, especially with her foreign friends. If they are allowed to vote, I know she would have a very big advantage.
- I have known her through the memetags that we have done. It was not just the link love that brought us together but the fact that she really reads the posts we write and she writes back with intelligent comments.
- Her sweetness that everyone is talking about? That is true. Her blog posts as well as the comments that she send our way, these are all consistently sweet and nicely worded.
- We exchange pleasant text messages every now and then.
- We encourage each other when we are not feeling good.
I see no other reason to not vote for my friend Rachel. She is a winner for me in every sense of the word.
