They have really been supportive and generous to us bloggers. Great thanks as well to the other sponsors (Coca-cola, San Miguel, Colgate, Cliquebooth to name a few).

    Hi, Mam Aileen. Here's my live-blog, and here's a retrospective.

    PS: Sorry about the question last night, but a friend's been bugging me. Maybe the company he works for is interested in Adwords.
