Jul 5, 2011

It’s that time of the year when we get to nominate

The Top Emerging & Influential Blogs for 2011

The response to my first blog last year was heartwarming

GandaEverSoMuch was among the 2010 Emerging & Influential Blogs

Napansin ko kasi na marami-rami ding akong pinopost about Food

So naisip kong gumawa ng sariling Food & Beverage Blog

Nakakatuwa kasi in a short period of time

Nagkaroon na din ng following ito

My number one nominee is

Isa sa mga paborito kong blogger ay si Donna Mae Congson

Para kaming soul-sisters ni Donna

Hindi na kami kelangang magsalita

Magtama lang ang mga mata namin — gets na agad

Isa ako sa natuwa when she started her own Beauty Blog

Kikay Much started “silently” pero ngayon bonggang-bongga na

Andaming followers and kumikita na sa AdSense!

That is the reason why ito ang aking 2nd Nominee

Dati ko nang paborito ang unang blog ni Sheng

Isa si Sheng sa masisipag na miyembro ng Sox Bloggers

Kahit gaano pa siya ka-busy, she will find time for you

Despite that nanay na nanay pa rin sya sa mga anak nya

Winner as a mom at winner as a wife si Sheila Marie Dumalay

Kaya nung inumpisahan nya ang Mother Instincts

Lalo akong bumilib sa kanya kasi mas lumawak lalo ang mga sinusulat nya

Kaya nga’t ito ang third nominee ko

Ariel was the one who produced the freebie shirts of GandaEverSoMuch last year

Sobrang natuwa ako sa mga ginawa nya and may discount pa

Kaya nga malakas sya sa akin and he’s reliable din kasi

Ariel Lalisan is a full-time educator and he is well loved by his students

Kung babasahin mo ang blog nya — andami mong mapupulot na info

Ang I Am Ariel Lalisan ay tungkol sa kanya at ang mga bagay na importante sa kanya

Ang galeng-galeng pa ng pagkakagawa ng blogsite nya

Hindi pwedeng hindi sya ang 4th nominee ko

Nung una kong ma-meet si Leah — medyo snob sya

Sosyalera ang dating with matching DLSR camera at malaking shoulder bag

Susme only to discover that she’s one of the sweetest I’ve ever met

Leah Valle actually runs a blog called 13th Witch

Her blog is a no-nonsense site na parang sinasabing: “Eto ako — tanggapin mo ako!”

That’s what I love about her — so down-to-earth and so real

Because of this, she deserves to be my 5th nominee

I must include another blog which I admire

Mas nauna kong nakilala ang hubby ng next nominee ko

Pero nung naging friends kami — tuloy-tuloy na

Nette Gallinero owns Pinay Travelogue which is such a fun-read

For me, this blog is her show of support to her husband Omar

Whose passion for photography brings him to many places

Madadama mo talaga ang love nila sa isa’t isa while reading their escapades

Kaya nga’t ito ang 6th nominee ko…

Burning with Passion. Bursting with Power.

When Gensan’s indefatigable emcee began blogging, I was awestruck

Iba talaga when writing is a passion and shared thru blogging

Bawat blog post ni Joanna Grace Banting-Lapore ay naiibang reading experience

Ramdam mong talaga ang bawat katagang nakasulat

So much so that she has been instrumental for others to start bloggin

For this alone, General Joana deserves to be my 7th nominee…

One other Food Blog that I like is Jinky’s Kitchen World

I consider Jinky Borela the penultimate mommy

Her present job almost eats up her time

But her family never complained of feeling left out

She still finds time to blog about her love for cooking

And she’s always there when you need her

Dahil love ko si Jinky, her blog is my 8th nominee…

Gilbert Tan is a voracious reader of books

Dati akong mahilig magbasa pero kalaunan eh tinamad na

Kaya nga naiinggit ako kay Gilbert kasi uber adik magbasa

I’m just surprised na wala syang blog tungkol sa pagbabasa nya

Mabuti na lang at naisipan nyang buoin ang Bookworm of Gensan

Now just by visiting his blog, I get a sneak peek of the books he reads

For that alone, his blog deserves to be my 9th nominee…

And my 10th nominee goes to Markable.me

This blog is owned by a young Davaoeno Mark Glenn Cabrera

This unassuming guy is one of the most likeable bloggers that I’ve met

Tahimik lang si Mark pero when he started his blog – nalurkey ako

Ang lalim pala ng batang ito — hindi lang artistic…magaling pang sumulat

Or should I say, magkwento — Read his posts and you’ll know why

Kaya’t Mark, pasok na pasok at swak na swak ka sa aking listahan

Sampu ito sa mga paborito kong Blogs

Sila ang mga nominado ko bilang

Top Emerging and Influential Blogs of 2011

In the meantime, please include EAT’S TERRIFIC in your own LIST.

This contest is made possible by the following: Cyber Monday Deals, TRIbeca Private Residences, How To Videos, Palawan Beaches for Sale, Green and Natural Lubes Philippines, Philippine data center, Philippine online shopping, Singapore Jobs, and Pinoy Party Food.
