Episode 14: Ten, The Countdown

Saturday, July 21, 2007

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

Ms. Janette Toral's writing project, The Top Ten Emerging Influential Blogs in 2007, has received a sudden surge of new entries recently. A great number of bloggers in the pinoy blogosphere has searched, bloghopped, and now has listed their very own nominations. Many others are still rushing to make their own before the deadline of submission of entries this coming Saturday, July 28, 5:00 PM (GMT +8).

And I've noticed, a lot of participants have been in campaign mode for the past week. Paolo Mendoza tagged ten bloggers to make their own list, Jhed Cabrera has posted an article about being influential, and even Benj Espina started vlogging to put the message across. Now, as a way to promote the writing project, I've put up a countdown before the deadline:

Here are three reasons why you should join the project:

You'll get the chance to win 100 freakin' dollars! Nevermind the exchange rate. That's still date money you got there.
You'll get a free pass to attend the upcoming bloggers' meet-up this coming August 1, at Max's Restaurant, Park Square 1, Makati City, 6-9 PM. You just need to confirm here.
You'll get to spread the link love, help your favorite blogs to gain recognition and expose your site as well in the process.

What do you got to lose? Nada. So JOIN NOW!

For the meantime, check-out my own VIDEO ENTRY for the project. I've added a few effects for your second (or third) viewing. I highly recommend these ten blogs to be included in your list.

And if my blog, in some way, has sparked your interest in video blogging, then I'm also asking for your support in the writing project and in spreading the word. Or better yet, just keep coming back and let's keep in touch. Your comments and insights on my videos have always been an inspiration.

Now you couldn't click the links in the vid, could you?

Good luck to all the nominees!

Naks. Haha. Thanks Jhed.

Kasama ka ba? Uhm. Secret. :P

You just have to watch it.

You just have to watch it kasi binanggit kita dyan. Haha!

By CokskiBlue, at July 17, 2007 at 8:25 AM

Do you have a YouTube version of this? Dailymotion doesn't seem to work here in the office. Haha!

By Jhed, at July 17, 2007 at 9:36 AM

Just posted the YouTube link. :)

By CokskiBlue, at July 17, 2007 at 10:09 AM

"the ultimate authority in theater and literature?" haha, madaming aangal sa tag mo for me, coy! madaming aaway sa akin pag narinig nila 'yan, and i won't blame them. :) i'll point to you instead, LOL. seriously, thanks for the inclusion--not just for me, but also for rick manzano, a good friend who's doing a great job with project manila. at syempre, dapat lang kasama ka sa list! famous ka na kaya sa vloggosphere (meron bang term na ganun? haha). your unique top 10 list in video form only reaffirms why. o ha! :)

By gibbs cadiz, at July 17, 2007 at 11:13 AM

OMG! I promise, I'll stop spamming on your blog. Hehe.

Thanks for the including me on your list. It somehow gave me a boost to get rid of my writer's block. :P

By Jhed, at July 17, 2007 at 11:22 AM

Aww. Thanks, man! I'm honored :)

@gibbs

Totoo yan Gibbs. Walang kokontra. Haha!

You've been a huge influence most particularly to bloggers to appreciate theater more. Play reviews are popping up left and right because of the "challenge" (sabi nga ni Tanggera. Hehe.) you give them.

@rick

You deserve it Rick. Your photos are amazing. And Manila looks so good in them. :)

More Power to you both. :D

@jhed

Haha. No problem Jhed. Tell me what you think after watching it. :D

Yeah Happy Slip is pretty cool. At oo, si Jhed rin. Haha. Make your own top 10 list too Ron. After you post your new story. :D

By CokskiBlue, at July 17, 2007 at 10:33 PM

Actually wala yan sa nomination, ang tunay na challenge ay kung sino makakakuha ng 100 dollars!

@paolo

HappySlip - Hot AND Funny. I just love her. Hehe. Too bad she already got a hubby. LOL

By CokskiBlue, at July 20, 2007 at 9:46 AM

Re utakgago
Fuck. Ang batang iyan. hanga ako diyan when he started writing emo posts (and stopped obliging bloggers to comment on his when he comments on theirs :-)). I've read his posts before--all crappy, teen angst, blahhers. But when he changed bloghosts. Yun na. I'm a regular reader na.

Re Fire Eye'd Boy
Aba. Talagang pinanindigan na ang kanyang pagiging 'monkey boy'. I mean 'grammar nazi monkey boy'. I'm the one who coined it for him. Grr. Start paying my royalties, jeff!

Re The Dork Factor
He's not a dork. HE'S A FORK. HE LOVES FORKING. LOL JHED! I've yet to see another blog as wholesomely daring as his. Very confident to brag about his...uh... Christian fellowship! Lol.

Re Gibbs Cadiz
I've only read his after clicking SPAMS, I mean 'Group Emails' in my inbox. Ugh. Naiingit lang ako na he has a freakin' good stint at PDI. And HE INTERVIEWED LEA SALONGA! Braaargh! Trillanes, asan ka? Magpa-interview ka na sa kin!

Re Pinoy Blogero
Oh grabe. Natuwa ako when I first stumbled on his blog. Naalala ko tuloy yung student pub days ko... huhu... nung nagdodrowing pa ako slash nagko-column slash nagle-layout slash nagtuturo.. waaah. (iyak sa sulok)

Re Project Manila.
It's been a LOOOOONG while since I last visited him. And I only saw pictures. And his camphone. And his digicam. Naiinggit lang ako. :-p That's it.

Re Cokskiblue

F*ck.

Who the hell is Cokskiblue???!?!??! (c. Benj)

:-p

@fruityoaty

Haha. Thanks fruity. :) I am one of your blurkers. :D I hope the gods of luck and fate awards me the 100 bucks. Hehe.

@kingdaddyrich

Haha. No prob Rich. Yes, I made and edited all the videos here. Some clips and pictures though are downloaded from the internet or sent in by friends. :)

Sure, let's be friends. :D Thanks for dropping by. :)

By CokskiBlue, at July 21, 2007 at 12:35 AM

Some were nominated before, some are new. Whew!

Good luck,guys! Hope one of you would be lucky to win that 100 bucks and you guys would stay on the top ten!

(Just remembered, nung pinanood ko to at di nakapag-comment, naka-speaker ako nun sa PC shop. Nagulat si Kevin nung narinig niya ang kanyang Utakgago. Kasama ko nga pala siya nun. LAKAS!)
