Echoing AJ’s intriguing new blog project, I’d like to do something similar for my blog’s first ever online contest.

To join, read the clues below and blog your answer. You can only make one guess and your guess must reveal the blogger’s name and blog URL. The blog post MUST link to this post. That’s all I ask. When done, leave a comment containing your contest entry’s URL. The first person to guess correctly will win $25 payable through Paypal. I will base the “firstness” on the order of comments posted here and not on the date or time you wrote your blog post.

Here are the clues:

This blogger is Yahoo’s new Online Community Manager for the Philippines. Similar to what Aileen is doing for Google, she/he will be Yahoo’s “eyes and ears” for the Philippines and will be actively marketing Yahoo’s products. But for now, he/she will be based in Singapore (major clue there already). She/he experienced a life-altering event last month (another major clue). His/her job starts on May 1st, which is today!

This blogger organizes events more than he/she attends them. He/she doesn’t blog very often. Her/his blog is hosted on Blogger. I met her/him once in Davao City and once here in Manila during a certain food tour. On both occassions, he/she was wearing black (lol). He/she is the “quiet” type of person, although her/his former job entailed a lot of talking in front of many people.

Who is this Yahoo?!? Contest ends on May 8, 2008. Per DTI DCO Permit #101514119.
