It’s quite simple. If you can guess which blog will finally complete my top 10 list of emerging influential blogs of 2009 I will give you P800 worth of mobile phone airtime credits -
- P500 worth of mobile airtime credits - Smartload or AutoloadMaxx - for the reader who can both guess my top choice candidate and provide a good reason why this blog will get my vote.
- P300 worth of mobile airtime credit - Smartload or AutoloadMaxx - for the first reader who can guess my 10th influential blogger nominee.
- If the winning reader resides outside the Philippines, he or she will instead get a decent write-up from WritingToExhale.
Why am I doing this?
- Because I am somewhat worried. I still have one slot to fill and I have at least 10 strong candidates to consider. Can’t quite make up my mind.
- Because I’m feeling the heat. This early an otherwise sensible blogger is becoming quite handy with sending me IM. Feeling suddenly close huh? That’s a tad annoying.
- Because I feel my loyalty is being checked. Should it not be checked? Oh well, it’s all right. I really, really like you, but will we still be friends if I pick another blog? That worries me, you know?
- Because I’m irked at myself. Should have completed my top 10 list of emerging influential blogs days ago. Should have put in Aling Dionesia up there and be done be it. Now I’m hemmed in between the devil and the deep blue sea.
- Because I need someone else to blame. Reader so and so provided a perfect reason why I chose A instead of B. Harass him/her not me. Am I slick or what?
Darn.
How is it with you, guys? Have you completed your list yet? Or the relevant question perhaps is - have you added me to your list yet? Okay, you can smirk now. But take a crack at this guessing game first. I know you wanna.

Roy’s last blog post..Former classmate shakes hands with President Bush
If you’re correct, you might win P300 airtime load. But why stop there? Please provide a brief reason why you think I’d vote for PG and you might get the P500 prize instead…Your answer is duly noted, but you still can add your brief pitch for PG.
oo nga ada, sayang ang load…di na napupulot ngayon yan sa kalye, ehehe!
elmot’s last blog post..A Bald Joke and Some “Hayden” Cameras
Hmm… Funny I did not get this in my feeds.
I also have a problem with making choices. Not that I won’t make them if I have to but if I don’t have to, I’ll just either get them all or avoid choosing. Now, dark chocs or cookies… cookies or dark chocs… Oh well, I’ll get them both.
Your third reason reminds me of the game of thrones where contestants play with each other and with the nobles and where people suddenly encounter unfortunate hunting accidents.
Oh, you’re slick all right. Looking for a fall guy, are we?
Lucrecio Emerito’s last blog post..A Walk In The Dark—A Poem
I’d like it to play it cool - that I’m beneath this little excitement in Pinoy blogosphere. But if I can only take out the element of “voting for people you like” out of the equation, this will be great. Truth is that’s how we operate, we choose a blog if we like the person behind the blog first of all. We are hardly democratic about it. Head aches. Hmmm, why is it Ada was only reader who made a guess? What about the others? What about you?
Incidentally, do you see a “subscribe to comments.” near the comment box?
Oh, you’re really slick. Making me guess and be a fall guy huh? J/K Well, I’m not good at guessing. Second, I think most of the bloggers in your circle that I do know are already on your list.
I entered your feed url in my Dashboard’s Blogs that I Follow. I think I’ll try it again.

I think it’s me… lolz… just kidding… my blog is not that influential after all..^^
JDSalinger’s last blog post..Recap of the past days
In due time, you’d get to be influential. I see your face everywhere in Pinoy blogs. You’d find in your blog hopping that not all nominees are influential. Some have only a handful of readers. Interesting right? But if they make good in their blog promotion they will get their own readers. This writing project can be that, too - a self-fulfilling prophecy. In that sense, we are qualified. You are qualified, JD.
this is a no-brainer.
eto oh:

hahaha

thanks sa pagdaan kuya jan
flamindevil’s last blog post..Feeling Real and Surreal At The Same Time
No-brainer talaga. Your blog got under my skin on the first hello. First look and I told myself: this blog has got to be in my list.
Hi there!It’s my first time here. I included you in my list since i also find your blog interesting.Keep it up. Oh how am i supposed to guess your last nominee? hmm…gusto ko din ng prize.haha
Goodness gracious. Thanks a lot! That totally comes from left field. I’m humbled . I just hope I’d not disappoint you… If you’re interested to know what clicks with me, you have to go back several posts. Maybe you have other cool nominees. Perhaps, I’ve been to their blogs as well. We might even have same blogs in mind.
hahaha! wow! ayos to ah…
ako di pa complete list ko…you know, all the crazy stuffs that i wrote about all those i nominated, wahahhaha!
ah….my guess is….ako un! ehehe!

elmot’s last blog post..Elmot’s List of Ten Emerging Influential Blogs 2009!
anak ng tinapa, may comment moderation dito sa blog mo big bro?>?????!!!
i thought you are not interested on commenting on blogs that are into comment moderation…naku, naku….balik lang ako dito kapag wala ng moderation… eheheh!
elmot’s last blog post..Beware: Manny Pacquiao is a Spook!
You’re quoting me huh? Did I give you permission? No, Elmot. First time commenters here are moderated by default. The next time will be a breeze unless the commenter spams me with links in his comment. Then it is flagged for moderation or deletion as the case maybe. I’m coming up in the world, young bro. I’ve been visited by spammers na. My first time! Ahehehe.
so that means, you are one delicious treat right from the can,e heheh! ako mahilig din sa spam ehehe! yung imported sympre, wahahha!

So your entry is Patay Gutom. Okay, writing it down, Ms. Earth voted for PG. Well, let’s see kung lalabas sa tawas.
teka teka jan ikaw ba ito wala na ba si labas ng mandaluyong? is this site new? hi there!
earthlingorgeous’s last blog post..Lizanne Cua At The Philippine Fashion Week Holiday ‘09
Yeah, Sa Labas ng Mandaluyong was left in blogger. His role now is like that of a traffic aide. His job is to redirect traffic here.
waaaaaah! interesting (woot) hmmp.. isip…isip.. ang kewl nito weh..
webslave mc’coolot’s last blog post..what about red mobile?
Tell when you’re done thinking.
LJ,
I am having a hard time to choose. There are so many qualified blogs out there.
I have two guesses, the first one, I have already told you about. I’m not sure if having three posts (to date) qualifies him to join. I was under the impression that he isn’t (yet). You know this guy, right? Very close to us. I can actually see him here. hehehe. No names, guessing game nga ito di ba? LOL
My second choice is a group blog. After it’s birth, there was already a strong following. Most of the followers are the ones from a particular blog that we have all read. His influence reached from the other side of the world and back! This blog is still very young, but, if you want entertainment, I’d go there and “laugh my a@# off.” (I learned that from you know who). So, influential, YES!
Which brings me back to you… who do you think they are? I might be disqualified for having two guesses… hey, this is a guessing game, right?

Zorlone’s last blog post..One and four at the woof contest!
here is my vote big bro! you really gave me one big headache huh?… but well, sabi nga ni ada, sayang load, ehehe!
just like Z i am rooting for two blogs that are both deserving to be included on your list. and weighing the two is like one hell of a job for lady justice…but let me present my guess.
i will go for Rob Angeles. he is one good guy and blogger…i have stumbled on his blog many times and most recently once again checked his work. this guy speaks with authority, but with gentleness and connection to his readers. his blog looks great, just like this blog. his blogging topics are also very apt, very closely-knitted, blogging and social media; something you both have in common. You both speak in the same language therefore if i may. i also notice that he is enjoying this blog, and you are enjoying his presence here…I also see that you are enjoying your time in his blog.
rob, knows how to socialize and create friendship from fellow bloggers. given the opportunity, this guy could rise even more to become one known blogger not only among our circle; something that i think this writing/blogging project also aims to accomplish.
the other one that i have in mind is Barrio Siete. but i think Barrio Siete could handle itself really well on this project. it is composed of a bunch of uber bloggers who would also certainly nominate it, and one nomination not coming from you would not hurt. Besides, Barrio Siete will certainly get one nomination from me - so that evens it.
then, i think rob should be given the opportunity, coz he deserves it as a good blogger and second because he is one cool person. if barrio will lose this one last spot of nomination, it will not dampen the spirit of all those people on the barrio coz all those happy bloggers (included many of us) are on steroids LOL!. and Reynz, impressed it on me: he likes to give chances to newbie but talented bloggers (when he nominated me but got scrapped out because i’m disqualified). Rob is on the same path that i was when scouted by the queen. if Rob on the other hand will lose this one last spot of nomination, i know it will not dampen his blogging spirit, but if he will get nominated, he earns what really is his due.
hey, i am no private lawyer for rob. Although if Rob is disqualified then Barrio Siete should take the last spot in your top 10 list.
eheheh! im done with my arguments…i think i deserve an ibuprofen capsule?
elmot’s last blog post..Juggling Work, Thesis and Blogging This School Year
That’s one hell of a pitch for Rob Angeles. You argue with passion, conviction and cunning. But is it enough? Your reason is very convincing to say the least. Well done.
Let’s see how the cookie crumbles in due time. Meanwhile, I still have to hear other entries from the readers.
Come on, people. I’m listening.
