My Picks for the Emerging Influential Blogs of 2009
August 11, 2008 is a memorable date for me. Missing Carlo, my blog dedicated to my one and only special brother, was recognized as one of the Ten Emerging Influential Blogs of 2008. Though the said list was then dominated by group blogs with different niches, I was able to make it on the list. I think blogging about something that is close to your heart makes a difference. I noticed that majority of the bloggers who voted for me are mothers and siblings of special children. Up to this day, I am still receiving some emails and comments from the readers whom in a way, was touched with my lovestory with Carlo.
Now, it’s about time to recognize a bunch of new blogs for the Emerging Influential Blogs of 2009! I would like to congratulate Tita Janette and the Digital Filipino Club as this writing project is already on its 3rd year.
So who made it on my list? Read on.
AYOSDITO.PH: Your Marketplace in the Philippines

AYOSDITO.PH is one of the sponsors of the recently-concluded iBlog5: The Philippine Blog Summit. Out of curiosity, I went to their website and browsed to know what the site has to offer. I’ve been seeing a lot of promotional campaign materials online about the company and it is actually a good sign that they are determined to make it big in the Philippine online marketing industry.

Mica and AJ by Arbet
Last Saturday, AJ and I gave a talk on the Basics of Blogging or simply Blogging 101. Ms. Janette asked me if I wanted to speak for the newbies. I was a bit worried since err… I have a slight phobia on speaking onstage. I then realized that this is a perfect chance for me to overcome that fear and at the same time share my ideas on blogging.
See You Later at iBlog5!
