My ATI Calabarzon Blog Training Seminar Experience!

What happens when you compress ten fruitful blogging years in one day? Info overload, I’m thinking! I expressed all my thoughts into writing my notes and the Google slides for around a week then talked from morning to the whole afternoon at the recently held ATI Calabarzon Blogging and Vlogging Training Seminar 😆 I was able to reflect on what I have learned, where I started and how to move forward on my 10th year as a travel blogger for around two months before the event! It’s quite transforming and surprising, I must say haha. Here are some event highlights for Day 1. The next day, I am joining the vlogging intro so that I can decide to incorporate it or not in the future.

Hi, Guys! We're going towards our third month of being in quarantine due to the COVID-19 virus. I've been busy with work still, unfortunately, and squeeze in cooking for survival and fun in my home. I've resigned to just gaining stock knowledge on what I eat and what I want to eat in the future, completing and learning more about my growing spice collection and herb processing in my spare time. In my last post, I talked about free online organic farming courses by the Agricultural Training Institute. With its success, the ATI is once again using information and communications technology to modify the "old" face-to-face training and increase knowledge on agriculture nationwide with the launch of various alternative learning opportunities and school-on-the-air programs to the public for free! I was really delighted when I started to see other ATI Regions come up with interesting ideas like recipes, contests that broaden your knowledge on plant identification and simple food growing techniques that resound with a city girl like me. I hope they continue on giving urban agriculture starter kits as well as these are my kind of "ayuda" - the ayuda that cost less, the ayuda that will teach people, rich or poor, the value of food security and the ayuda that will keep on giving and sustain by itself in the years to come.
