    My Bucket List

    Completed my first marathon!

    by Haifa Carina February 28, 2018

      After 6 months of dedication, mental struggle and finding time to squeeze in trainings, the moment I crossed the finish line, I couldn’t be any happier that finally mission complete! Why did I run a marathon in the first place? It’s #14 of my bucket list. Plus I wanted to lose weight and cardio is the way to go!

    2017 National Milo Marathon

    by Haifa Carina July 31, 2017

    I’m an impulsive person. It wasn’t until 2 days before the event that I decided to run. Glad someone offered to sell me their racing kit. I would’ve gone 21KM but since I had no training I might get myself injured so I opted to go 10KM. It wasn’t my best 10KM but I sure felt accomplished crossing the finish line!  Next up, training for marathon!

    Sponsorship Tips and Tricks

    by Haifa Carina July 7, 2017

    Last June 15 at the Philippine Tech Community Leads Meetup #8,  I gave a presentation on How to Close the Deal: Sponsorship Tips & Tricks.

Like fellow tech communities, DevCon’s main source of funds come from sponsorships. During the 4 year course, DevCon raised…
