My picks for the Top 10 Emerging Influential blogs of 2009

It’s time one more to pick the top ten emerging influential blogs among the thousands in the blogosphere. There’s really too many to choose from, and it’s just too hard to pick just ten. Nonetheless, here’s a start of my top ten list for Janette Toral’s Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs for 2009 Writing Project:

[EDIT] Completed my list, just in time!

  1. Hay! Men! Ang blog ng tunay na lalake – this very new blog just sprouted out of nowhere, and everybody’s talking about it. You can’t get any more influential than this.
  2. Pinoy Cravings – Melo started this blog because he wanted to separate the food posts from his travel blog. He’s been very diligent about keeping it updated, and it’s now one of the top ranking food blogs in the Philippines.
  3. Magnetic-rose.net – I may be biased in nominating my friend Rotch, but her blog really do live up to her tagline: Japanese Pop Culture for Filipino Fans. She’s very passionate about all things Japan (she studied there, and went back to the country several times for both business and personal visits). She regularly attends cons in the Philippines and overseas, and as deep love for toys, Japanese culture and BL.
  4. Good Times Manila – another new discovery that has me laughing too much. The diary excerpts from Rustom and Carmina’s last days of married life is too precious.
  5. Happy Foodies – travel and food certainly go together, and a food blog is certainly the next step for these two travel writers and photographers. Ferdz and Oggie tantalizes us with mouth watering photos of delectable cuisines from their travels and places around the metro.
  6. Let’s Go Sago – this little bear is certainly going places! You’re sure to find Jonel and Sago in one of the many blogger events, and if they’re not present, they’re on the road traveling. I can’t exactly finish off my list without putting one travel blog in it, can I?
  7. New Media Philippines – because Carlo Ople had the guts to write about the white elephant in the room. Heh.
  8. Video Chop – anything and everything you need to know about video blogging. Award-winning vlogger Coy Caballes shares his secrets to making great video blogs.
  9. Cebu Bloggers – what better way to promote a city and a province than to write about it? The Davaoeños have done it, and this time, it’s the Cebuano’s turn.
  10. Patay Gutom – because being patay gutom is the in thing this year.

This year’s writing project is sponsored by Absolute Traders, My Brute Cheats, Business Summaries, Fitness Advantage Club, Events and Corporate Video, Events at Work, Dominguez Marketing Communications, Red Mobile and Blog4Reviews.com

      Hi, Nina. So, you do HTML and CSS pala? That sounds interesting, though arcane. I also tried my hand at those using HTML Dog’s online resources as my guide. But it’s difficult pala. Lalo na the CSS thing.

      Anyway, this writing project is very nice and I’m glad that you joined it. With all the noise out there, it is difficult to separate the wheat from the chaff. But with lists like this, readers can narrow down their options. Also, it gives new bloggers the chance to be seen and read.

      Which is why I would like to invite you to visit my blog at TalesFromTheMomSide.com. I started blogging last January 2009 about parenting and being a mom. I dearly hope that you’ll find my blog worthy to be part of your list of Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs.

      And since you still have vacant slots in your Top 10 List, I would also like to suggest the following blogs, if I may:

      http://salabasngmandaluyong.blogspot.com/
      http://zorlone.blogspot.com/
      http://thestrugglingblogger.168center.com/

      They are good writers and their posts are informative and entertaining. Plus, the community is very lively. I hope you’ll enjoy visiting their blogs too.
