I am now blogging using my Nokia E63 through the free wifi connection at SM City Bacolod. More details later.

The launching of the FREE WiFi connection at the SM City Bacolod was held yesterday, July 31, 2009. It was attended by members of the Negros Bloggers and other interested parties. There were glitches though and we were not able to fully appreciate the live streaming. Although the program was supposed to start at 1pm, we were delayed because the connection had not be installed yet. But eventually it did and the program started. Negros Bloggers President Ruby Ricafrente of Pinay Mommy Online gave a short talk on blogging.Because we were among the first 20 to attend, my hubby and I got face towels from Nokia. Here’s a pic.

I am giving way to the Press Release from SM by Lorena Martinez.

The grand launch of FREE WiFi will be held on July 31, 2009 from 1-4PM at the Northwing Event Centre of SM City Bacolod. All SM shoppers may avail of the free WiFi connection in all areas of the mall without password requirement.
