Ten Influential Blogs of 2008 (Part 2 of 2)

Two months ago, I posted casted my vote for my first five picks for the the Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs of 2008 By Digital Filipino. The deadline is fast approaching and the good news here is that we get to see a lot of new blogs made by Filipinos that has various themes and interest.

My first five picks include Missing Carlo, Visit Sagada, Waw Sabaw, Work with Ria and Makapalm.

Here’s another batch of new blogs that somewhat caught my attention. I do believe that they deserve to be in the final tally:

Lakwatsero By Angel Juarez

Angel Juares a.k.a. Bleue is also one of the writers of Visit Sagada. He is also blogging about his personal travel experiences in lakwatsero.com. What I love about his blog is that he exerts an effort in posting quality pictures and he is sharing his experiences without any qualms. My personal favorite is his entry about Culion, Palawan. You will know why soon. Bleue really loves to travel. Isa siyang tunay na lakwatsero. Another thing that I like about him is that he is a good man indeed.

Sam Juan by Someone

Nabigla na lang ako ng isang araw ay meron nag-comment dito sa blog na ito na ang avatar ay ang larawan ni Sam Milby na may bandila ng Pilipinas. Aking pinuntahan ang kanyang blog at natuwa dahil muli, ako’y nakakita ng blog ng isang OFW na gumagamit ng wikang pambansa sa pagbblog. Karamihan ng entries niya ay may humor touch, pero may sense. Dito ko napagtanto na ang mga OFW ay hindi nagrerelax sa ibang bansa. Kumakayod sila para sa kanilang pamilya dito sa Pilipinas kaya dapat tayo’y magpasalamat at huwag gumawa ng mga bagay na ikakalungkot nila. Sino kaya si Sam Juan? Hmmm… may hinala na ako kung sino siya

Hayden’s Haven by Hayden Kho Jr.

Maybe you ask “Why him? he is not an active blogger!” Well, this celebrity doctor is more than just every girl’s dream boy. He may not update his Multiply blog often, but he makes it a point to inspire his fans by posting some of his realizations and the lessons he learned during the day. Some people might be intimidated with his presence, but the guy is actually a good man in real life. I know a number of his Multiply friends who asks for advice from him and one of them even named her baby after him. I am hoping that he blogs on a regular basis though.

Shoot Me by Maki Eduardo

My dear friend and co-powerpuff girl Maki Eduardo might have closed her personal blog due to some problems, but she’s not quitting in blogging at all. She recently launched her own photoblog where she’s posting some of her shots on a regular basis. She is really into photography and she takes this craft seriously by attending workshops and by taking lotsa lotsa pics. I do believe in her talent and nominating her in this project can help her gain some exposure as a serious photoblogger.

Bloggers Da Who by AJ Matela

Due to the guessing game about bloggers on Twitter last April, AJ of BaklaAko.com launched a new blog called “Bloggers Da Who”, the one and only blind item stop for bloggers. The good thing about the blog is that AJ is not really giving direct clues and the guests are not allowed to comment. The purpose of the blog is not really to insult or embarrass the blogger concerned in the BI. Instead, the blog reminds everyone to be careful with our actions and just in case you feel guilty about the latest entry, just learn from it and do not repeat that wrong action ever again.

So that’s it! Have you voted already? Habol pa kayo
