A fun Decorate Your Cake activity kicked things off as bloggers started pouring in and the festivities started getting underway.
Photo sessions were a must! A lot of bloggers took photos at the photo booths.
Again, Goldilocks showed everyone why they’re the one!
The event was hosted by Juddha Paolo and was graced by the appearance of the hunky Goldilocks endorser, Dingdong Dantes. Truly a special night (especially for the ladies)!
Of course, it would be a Goldilocks event without the food!
To end the night, one grand winner of an ASUS F80Q laptop, five winners of Neo mini laptops, and four winners of Goldilocks gift certificates were awarded. The winners are:
Grand Prize: ASUS F80Q Laptop
