Today’s digital era has proved that it is indeedย a small world after all; and aย big credit goes to social media forย makingย communicationย with anyone and anywhere around the globe fast and easy. But with every smile shared through selfies, every picture we <3 ,ย or every blog we read, nothing beats the priceless feeling of meeting the people behind the social media accounts we follow in the flesh.
A few weeks ago, I organized a local instagram meet in Cebu in time for Earth Day and Worldwide Instameet 13 (WWiM13). ย Dubbed as #iLuvCebuInstameet: #LifeOnEarth, the April 23rd event aimed to spread awareness on Ocean Conservation, and ultimately give local instagrammers an avenue to convergeย and share best practices with otherย mobile photographyย enthusiastsย in the area. Miss Scuba International 2013 First Runner-up Christine Paula Love Bernasor joinedย us in celebrating the globalย WWiM13 theme Life on Earth,ย who also conveyedย her knowledge onย her advocacy toย the participants. Entrants then translated that environmentย protection message through their instagramย snaps. Movenpick Hotel Mactan Island Cebu was the perfect backdrop for the second installment ofย #iLuvCebuInstameetย as they have expressedย the same passion for environment conservation, even garnering Green Globe Certificates for their efforts.
To be honest, organizing an instameet is not easy. Nah-uh! You spare many sleepless nights preparing forย the props to be used duringย the event, messaging the registrants and contacting partners and suppliers to make sure all are set for the big day. But I refuse to show up looking tired and exhausted, even if I am way under pressure. Andย sprucing up in a simple, stylish andย comfortable was a quick fix to a whole day inclusive of standing andย walking for long hours, making sure everything is going a-ok! Much thanks to my Sky Slip-On byย Freewaters for the much needed comfort that made me last the day. The grey “sophisticasual” Sky Slip-onย is insanelyย light, highly cushioned with an extra thick insole. It is made of highly breathable perforated smartsuede making sure my feet do not drown in sweat. I had myย Freewaters pair since January, which I use not just on casual dress down days, but even on casual chic gatherings.
Plus,ย Freewaters stands on its commitment to transform lives with water. Every 1% of the gross sales go directly to fund the water projects of Freewaters. There are a number of wells being built in Kenya, as well as water filtering system that are being distributed in Haitiโ all because of Freewaters customers worldwide. You can say that every pair becomes a step towards clean water to the people who need it the most. So that’s a big YAY for Mother Earth and humanity! <3
