Srikandi Blogger 2014 - #1

And finally... March 9, 2014!

It's the D-Day.... For the inauguration of Srikandi Blogger 2014...

For those who haven't heard of Srikandi Blogger, or just have a hint on it, allow me to proudly explain how incredibly inspiring this event is. Initiated last year as part of the anniversary of Kumpulan Emak Blogger - a celebrated group of Indonesian female bloggers, this event has invited female bloggers to participate in a contest where the most inspiring, most  blogger will be selected as Srikandi, a heroine in traditional Javanese culture.

From hundreds of participants, 50 has been selected in the first batch, trimmed down to 10 finalists before the final round. 

Tasked with various blogging activities, ranging from simple introduction, self-promotion to blogging on the issue of women and internet to creating video about what you will do if you were selected as Srikandi Blogger 2014, participants were again invited to get out of their comfort zones and explored the new world of possibilities...Resulting in numbers of colorful and inspiring entries indeed.

This is THE event where you have the opportunity to actually meet, greet and have (lotsa) fuun to soo many inspiring women from different walks of lives and backgrounds ..... sharing the same passion, blogging!

And after series of stages the finalists have to go through, the final day was last Sunday...

And what a day indeed... 

Full of energy, enthusiasm, creativity and lotsa lotsa love, love, and love..
As most female (as well as male, of course ;)) bloggers from different parts of Indonesia gathered and were ready to rumbleeee...

The event itself was packed with soooo many beautiful displays of creativity among members of Kumpulan Emak Blogger, famously known as KEB.

Being there as one of the 10 Finalists of Srikandi Blogger 2014 is such a rewarding experience..perhaps, once in a lifetime opportunity as well..

And Pungky Prayitno, a mother of a cute son Jiwo, a women's rights true activist, a social media darling, and an avid blogger is our Srikandi Blogger 2014...
