Here are my partial nominees for the Top Ten Emerging Influential Blogs of 2009.
1. Ada of Adaphobic - Cute blogger
2. Dee of Tales From the Mom Side - Cute mom
3. Kelvin of Kelvinonian Ideas 2.0 - Knows how to win
4. Rye of Flamindevil - Cute, single and available
5. Silver of Dare to Speak Out - Cute and acute and shoots from the hips
6. Snow of Dear Bloggery - OMG cute
7. Roy of The Struggling Blogger - My kind of writer
8. Doc Z of Zorlone - My kind of poet
9. Fedhz of Fedhz/Home Buddies - Cute Mom
10. Ask for it - I know you wanna
You’d all get a decent write up when I have completed the line up. Please bear with Lolo Jan.
Why partial list?
I am not lacking for possible nominees. I’m not, however, too confident with my bench warmers. I need reassurance that they are hungry for this kind of project. I need bloggers with fire in their bellies. If I’m going to push for your nomination I had better make sure you’d do the following -
1. blog hop to gain exposure and more readers for your blog
2. ask your own readers to write a post about this writing project themselves.
3. convince your followers to include you in their own top 10 list.
4. keep doing your outstanding work in your blog as this translates into more votes.
5. coordinate with me and among yourselves so we’d be making significant results.
Lolo Jan’s advice: You need a vote - ask for it
Use every weapon in your arsenal. Be charming. Be eloquent. Be funny. Anything to make yourself heard so you get the vote of the blogs you’re visiting. Throw yourself into this project wholeheartedly. If you don’t get the vote you covet, take heart, at the very least you’d get yourself more readers and friends. Not so bad, right?
Be anything but coy. To get what you need you have to ask for it.
Vote for me, too
I need you to vote for me. There - I’ve said. Quite simple, right? Okay, one more time with feeling: vote for me, capice? Ahahaha.
Now, that’s not so bad huh? Moving on….
Take no prisoners, guys
Really now. I need you to win. Barring this, you have to make a very strong showing. As of now, you’re all influential to me. But take this to another level.
Be exasperatingly (for the opposition at least) INFLUENTIAL.
I will end this with a warning: I reserve the right to replace the persons I listed here. That’s allowed - and I will use it without remorse. Nobody is safe.
Go get your vote now.

here what I always get:
1st impression: suplado
2nd impression: pormal
3rd impression: suplado talaga
last impression: siraulo pala… pero suplado pa rin
That’s a great way of keeping yourself grounded. Being with friends. If not for my blogging buddies I might have given up blogging. It’s a lonely business - sitting in front of your pc day in and day out. It’s great to have company. “,)
Oh, Gem. That’s one of the nicest compliments I’ve ever heard in my five months of blogging. Thank you very much. If it were possible, I would blush in happiness and silliness. Hahaha.
See? Kahit walang kita from ads it’s very gratifying pa rin. It’s not all about earning online. Meeting sincere people like you more than makes up for it.
Thanks, Gem.

You know me, Elmot. I am a tough guy. Ahahaha. Humanda ang di sumunod sa L.J. Malilintikan!
Aba, at inilaglag ang mga cute kong nominees. Si OMG cute Snow lang binanggit mo. Salbahe you, bahala ka na nga. Kung may sweldo ka bilang campaign manager suspended ka na. Buti na lang gratis. Ahahaha.
Correct! Ahahaha. May star power nga eh.
Hey, malapit na guys. It’s final. Rocky has already registered writingtoexhale.com to my name. He’s now tweaking the WP blog. He has some of his friends working on my logo. Isn’t that super? I now have a logo. I almost feel like a proper blogger now. Yesss!
Thanks, Elmot. Dami ko ng utang sa iyo, I know. How do you like ba. In pesos or in dollars? As if I had campaign funds for these guys.
getting noticed? you’re very popular already Doc Z. ^^v
salamat po!
Thanks po!
weee… saya! ^__^
I think I have to ask these guys to pitch in something for the huge electric
bill I consume. This blog is getting to be a 7-11 store. Or carinderia.
Ahahaha. Ayaw magpatulog, ayaw paawat. “,)
But hey, that’s a joke. I love it. This is something I wished for when I
was into my second month of blogging. Now that I’m getting this kind of
interaction here, I had better keep it that way.
Kelvin - I was blog commenting last night in several places. And you’re all
over the place. Napatawa naman ako. I said to myself - ah, Kelvin is on a
blogger on steroids! That’s great, Kelvin. I’m proud of your great effort.
Thanks!
haha, yes I know. It’s like reaching out. social networking na rin. brouhaha? hehe! This commenting thing, I like. ^^ ay, nahahawa na ko sa mga puwets natin jan. just checked out the dark master’s blog eh. dami agad visits ha hehe.
Ah, don’t mention it, Kelvin. Anytime for my nominees. Iba tayo eh. We’re
going places!
Quieme lang un, Elmot. The poker faced look, the scowl. It’s just for
effect! For more effective delivery of punchlines. And he’s got plenty of
them. He’s the Jerry Seinfeld of Pinoy blogging, didn’t you hear?
Now, you’re talking! Ahahaha. I’m very pleased. Keep it up. “,)
Papatayin na kasi ako nung mga waiting in the wings. If these guys give me
the excuse, the slightest excuse to replace them, I will! Aba, e kung ako
naman ang tigukin ng iba kong friends na gusto manominate paano na ako.
Ahahahaha. Joke!
Don’t worry about me. I don’t bow to external pressures. Even from
friends. I’m super super hard headed. I stand by my choices. Walang
mangingialam. ahahaha.
Ikaw kasi di ka nagiismile sa mga pictures. Ayun mukha ka tuloy suplado.
LOL.
First impressions last daw, pero I saw right through you man. Di ka naman
talaga suplado, snob lang c”,
Here’s a little story. I think I’ve given you a tag award before. Don’t
blame me, Roy. I have nobody else to pass it too. So I gave you that tag.
The thing is you were actively commenting on my blog prior to my giving you
that meme.
Walla. - you made yourself scarce after I’d given you the tag. And I
thought to myself. Darn! I just lost a reader just because of that
infernal tag award. I was furious with myself for being so presumptuous.
So before I came to regard you and remember you as the man with the scowl in
his avatar, you’re simply the reader who I scared away from my blog with my
stupid tag award. Ahahaha.
So the question now begs to be answered: how come you’ve come back. Any
change of heart about tags? Or I was simply off, way too off with my
hypotheses here.
Come clean, Roy. Ahahaha
Parang X-men. Remember how they started to have their special powers during
highschool? hehehe. So, tayo ba ay mga X-men din? Sana may power ako kagaya
ng kay Hiro Nakamura at Peter Petrelli.
Doc Z, you’re delivering punchlines, too? That’s Roy’s bread and butter.
Lol
Sobra sobrang pagtitipid na nga ang ginagawa ko e. At sana magkatotoo.
Sana ay mabusog ko kayo!
Ayun naman pala e, at natutunan ni Roy kay Reynz ang pagiging outgoing nya
kahit sa mga comments lang. LOL
Hehehe… Nagpapapansin siguro ako masyado jaya ganun. (wink)
Ay naku. nakakahawa kasi yun e. Nakatabi ko lang ng buong maghapon nung
summit e kung anu ano na ang napulot ko. Kakaiba ang pagiging influential ni
Roy. Go visit his sweet reflections blog and see for yourself.
Z
Alam ko kung bakit ka nag-iinvite, Doc Z. Kasi po napabunghalit si Doc Z
dun ng tula. Biruin mo un - the unflappable, cool Doc Z, has erupted in
spontaneous poem reading/creation!
Ahahaha. Mamaya kamo hahabulin na to ng mga girls. Type nila un medyo
bastos pero may pagka poetic. Kidding, Doc Z.
Go visit that link. And see for yourself, Doc Z in action. “,)
Exactly. Bring along, Doc Z and Ada and Dee. Ahahaha. Baka maligaw mga
iyan. Libre mo na ang air fare nila for New York. hehehe
Let’s blame Silver. ahahaha. She’s got PhD on blog commenting! “,)
no worries, jan. i am enjoying myself in the blogosphere though the thought that my site seemed like a deserted ghost town haunts me during my time in the field. i have checked some of your nominees. i love zorlone’s poems. nahihilo ako kay roy which blog to visit though i enjoy reading his post each time i click the url. lol. i think i subscribed to one of his blogs, i couldn’t keep track which one. lol. by the way, i won in dee’s the noticer giveaway. i am going to write about that one except that i am not sure if i was that fifi which she posted to have won the contest. presumptuous lang talaga ako na ako yun. i’m talking a lot, must be the rain outside.
Hahahaha. Roy, I’ve discovered why we seemed not to be on the same page.
Luke and I. It’s because I’m commenting from the safety of my email inbox.
I find it easier to do than to look for the exact location of the comment to
reply to.
It’s my blog, but I’m finding it harder to pinpoint which one needs a
reply. That’s my excuse. Of course, I’m guilty. My only hope is that it
might have caused you a lot of amusement/bewilderment/exasperation while
reading my off-tangent replies. Ahahaha. Whatever. Hahaha.
About your blog: you mean to say these guys are not visiting you? Aba,
that’s not acceptable blogging behavior.
I will see what I can do about that.
Well, here’s an idea. Make a mini post about your own top 10 list of
emerging influential blogs, but don’t complete the list. Say you’re in hunt
for more worthy candidates to be included in your list. Let’s see how these
guys react to that. Ahahaha. They all should be courting you by now. Grabe
sila ha! Di puede yan.
About Roy: Bring medicine every time you visit, Roy. Yung pangontra sa
biyahilo. ahahaha.
About Z: Yeah, he’s the sensibilities of a poet.
I’ve got it on good authority it’s you who won the book, Fifi. We don’t
know of any other reader of Dee who goes by that name except you. You’ve
won it all right. “,)
hayun! nawala ang napakahaba kong comment!
anyway, as I try to reconstruct what I have written. it has nothing to do with the award/tag/meme, anyway I can choose to ignore them, right? lol
I may not comment then, but I do read. I just don’t comment.
nung dumating lang si Z dito yata ako naging madaldal lol
at saka isa pa, puro poreynger bisita mo nuon.
but now that your blog has been converted into a forum, I feel more relax hehe…
can’t wait to see the new forum… err, I mean the new blog
cool!
Ahahaha. So that’s it? I was under observation pala. Well, we all do that
anyway. It’s all good for me, Roy.
Foreigners? Ahahaha. I did not get that. What do you mean, Roy? That
we’re speaking in straight English? “,)
ba’t dito napunta iton comment kong ito?
dapat dun sa loob ito, bahala ka nang hanapin kung para saan itong reply na ito, hehe….
ehehe… you guessed it LJ! How come I haven’t seem girls following me
around? hmpf!
Even if you turned around you can’t see those girls. How can you see them!
No way! They might be practically wrapping themselves around you by now.
Grabe you. “,)
