Let me bring you back to the memory lane…
The Year is 2005 and like what’s hot today – RUNNING, Badminton was the the talk of the town. Pinoybadminton was the famous forum, which holds regular games in different courts in the Metro. Later, TimogTitans was born in one of the regular games from then Bluerackets Badminton Club in Pasong Tamo, Makati. In that court, I first shook hand with Abe aka Yuga who was already been blogging at Yugatech, later in the regular games I met Joeyboy who would put up DaddyJoey.com, but before that he already had the Oragon blog site, which was sub-domain of Yugatech.com. For some reasons, he changed lane along the way and stopped blogging until last November 2009, DaddyJoey.com was born.
Fast forward to Year 2010. Yugatech is now a leader in the blogosphere, he is now the gadget guy in the 5th State. The same guy who was never tired of encouraging us – Joeyboy and me to start blogging as early as 2005 is now making an average of USD2k a month on his Google Adsense only. He’s got direct ads already in his blog.
Here’s is one of the oldest post at Yugatech:
Another one bites the blog.

posted: May 1st, 2005Good friend and badminton buddy, Joeyboy, bites the blog craze just this week. He spends a lot of hours in the pad figuring out how to do it and what put in his very own blog. Go visit him and welcome him in the world of blogging — Oragon.
He and Raffy wil be joining me next Saturday for the 1st Blog Summit in UP.
BTW, I never made it to that 1st Blog Summit, but I was present at the iBlog6!
While Oragon blog is no longer in existence, DaddyJoey.com is now live, up and running since November 2009.
Here’s the comeback post of Jeoyboy:
After a lot (and a lot more, and some more) convincing from the master… I started blogging again. (yey!?). I stopped blogging for a quite long, looooong time to remember how WordPress works. 😀 Anyway, what’s important is that I’m back again – with a new blog, a new life and a new attitude. So, Rock On!!! and Cheers!!!
On March 14, 2010 DigitalSpidey was born!
To date, Abe & I are still playing badminton but not as regular as before (I play almost 4x a week during the TimogTitans’ day), Joeyboy is into running now. Joey and I are guest bloggers at PTB & Pinoy Travel Blog. We now drive our own cars, armed with dSLR cameras and finally, Joey & I are now blogging!
Many thanks to Abe Olandres, truly you are our mentor in this avenue.
