The SM Cyberzone’s Summer Festival was all I could think of that day. Anticipating the utter exquisite experience that’s waiting to unravel, my restless mind can think of nothing else. It seems only yesterday when the child in me scribbled a circle on the date May 25, 2010. A day full of promise and excitement when in just a few hours, SM Cyberzone will celebrate its Summer Festival here in the very heart of Cebu City, boasting its significant technological multiplicity, that’s absolutely a dream come true for any techy geek. Despite our rather extreme schedules at work, my colleagues and I decided to be part of history and witness the SM Cyberzone Summer Festival.

Before the SM Cyberzone Summer Festival, I’ve always thought of SM City Cebu as a home away from home especially for Filipinos. Its massive structure seeks to accommodate your daily needs like no other store can. From clothing, food, furniture, home appliances, gadgets and just about anything you can think of, SM City Cebu has it all! Like any techy freak I’ve kept a long list of must-have gadgets that goes beyond just possessing them in my dreams. After SM Cyberzone was constructed, looking for my favorite gadgets had never been easier and trouble-free!

Luckily, I’ve bought countless gadgets from SM Cyberzone ever since I can remember. From mobile phones, personal computers, LCD monitors, game consoles, iPods, digital cameras, laptops and my current obsession, Netbooks; this place has proven itself more than just your run of the mill Shopping Zone for gadgets.

SM Cyberzone is like your genie in a bottle! The only little difference is, it encompasses loads of stores that showcase the most up-to-date gadgets from the biggest brands worldwide like ASUS, Nokia, Samsung, HP, Lenovo, Motorola, Sony, LG, MSI, Canon and the list keeps growing! It just quenches your thirst for technology as you plunge from one store to another, learning the latest gadgets out in the market. Never will you feel the need to travel elsewhere just to get the latest gadget. All that your techy heart desires can be found in the SM Cyberzone and at a reasonable cost!

I’m dedicating this movie slideshow to SM Cyberzone for graciously allowing me to be a part of its Summer Festival held last May 25, 2010 at the SM City Cebu. Thank you and I’m looking forward to the next event!

Finally, when my colleagues and I reached where SM Cyberzone’s Summer Festival was catapulted, like a little girl I was surprised yet overwhelmed by how gracious and welcoming the hosts were at the registration booth. Like some sort of VIPs we were treated with care and each of us where even endowed with cool perks sponsored by PLDT MyDSL. As if that wasn’t enough, we were asked to pick a prize at the Booth of Luck where I won an eGames CD! In entirety, I was able to bring home a t-shirt; cap embroidered with the label Mossimo much to my obvious delight, eGames and a cool Dragonica poster which my brother treasured with haste!

SM Cyberzone’s Summer Festival was entirely full of surprises. Gaming stations were propped up for avid gamers and users alike to experience the invigorating thrill of the latest gaming technology. Amazingly, the festival was jam-packed with people taking turns on each station. While waiting with anticipation for my turn, I watched with childlike interest as some kids were having a blast trying out the Nintendo Wii. They swayed along with the music featured in the music video game, Band Hero, feverishly hitting the drums like some hardcore drummer! Bystanders including me were chanting animatedly to the tune of some familiar songs. Laughter was inescapable and intoxicating as we took pleasure in watching young adults try the Tennis Wii. Known for its Motion Plus feature, the Tennis Wii is extremely interactive. I know this for a fact since I played this game prior to the festival. Incredibly the game replicates the natural feeling of swinging a tennis racket back and forth. I wouldn’t mind getting some work out done with the Tennis Wii. I know I’ve read a review about how this game also allows you to setup a calorie counter.

While enjoying the festivities that SM Cyberzone’s Summer Festival had in store, I suddenly caught  sight of  my friend Xerxes, a Cebu blogger, who was among the crowd of enthusiasts. We chatted excitedly about the festival and how cool it was to receive some freebies. He introduced me to some people from the Cebu Bloggers Society, also visibly carrying the black PLDT MyDSL paper bag. Suddenly, my buddy Doi, who attended the festival with me, towed me towards the convivial photo booth. Doi and I posed like famed divas while Edcel took pictures in between laughs.

Inevitably, we had to return to reality and stop to check out the Upload Express stations where we can have our photos developed using Epson’s Photo Printer. We didn’t want to miss the chance taking into account that the photos were for free! Sadly, when it was our turn, the lady assistant expressed her apologies since they already run out of photo paper. This I understand, needless to say, there may have been a hundred people who eagerly joined SM Cyberzone’s Summer Festival this year.

Unperturbed by not having our photos developed, we checked out other features available at the Upload Express Station. There were laptops and Netbooks manufactured by MSI, that  were offered for those itching to upload their photos online for free and those who wanted to visit their favorite social media website, Facebook anyone? Of course, I didn’t miss the chance of trying out their Netbook since I’ve been visualizing about having one of my own these past few months. I felt at ease typing our site, www.glitterstop.com and www.bloggercorner.com, on its keyboard. I was satisfied with how the screen looked since it was wide enough to avoid the typical bothersome horizontal scrolling you experience with other Netbooks. Sure enough, the feeling only increased my ardent desire to have one.

After we’ve tried out all booths and stations that were knowingly arranged to  commemorate the SM Cyberzone Summer Festival, namely the Booth of Luck, Gaming Stations and Upload Express Stations, our experience climaxed with pictures of Doi, Eds and myself along with the members of the Cebu Bloggers Society. Our faces donned expressions of children who just got their favorite toy or candy bar. Unwittingly satisfied and stirred by the whole experience brought about by SM Cyberzone’s Summer Festival.

Cheers to everyone who joined the festivities!
