This writing project by Janette Toral got to be one of the best things that happened to me when I first started in 2007. I know how good it feels when your efforts are recognized. That’s why I’m a big supporter of this project.

One thing I would like to change about it though is for more entries to include video blogs in the list! Hehe. 2007 got CokskiBlue. 2008 got You Got Tech. Two video blogs in 2009 are not too much to ask, right? Now here are my bets (divided into 2 groups):

GROUP BLOGS

1. Video Chops – A blog especially made for Video Bloggers. I’ve been receiving lots of questions and e-mails on how to start your very own video blog. And recently, I just realized that Vlogging 101 is not exactly a one-post-a-year topic. There’s a wide range of things to talk about. And the field is definitely growing. That, among other things, is the reason why I started VideoChops.com. I honestly think video blogging hasn’t been fully embraced & explored by the community yet. I wish this new venue could help tap and release all those talents hiding in YouTube and other places in the cyberspace. It’s been long overdue, really.

2. Filipino Freethinkers – I’m amazed how a new group like Filipino Freethinkers could neatly organize a forum, event or meet-up that easy! The good thing about FF is that difference in philosophes doesn’t matter. The influence lies not on the ideas but on the way of thinking. Now that’s influential in a whole new level in my book.

2. Cebu Bloggers – I do believe Cebu bloggers are on the rise this year; just like how Davao bloggers impressed us last 2008. I think this group is one of the more relevant
bloggers nowadays judging from the events they start and promote. CBS made a great start indeed in pioneering a number of online advocacies.

3. Patay Gutom – After reading the Ten Reasons Why You Should Vote for Patay Gutom, I became a believer. And dead right hungry too. Their blog always influenced my mouth to water and my tummy to rumble. Now it’s making me take early (and very long) lunch breaks. Yum.

SOLO BLOGS

4. Good Times Manila – This blog is indeed my top choice. It’s got all the ingredients of a very, very influential blog. It’s got:

• juicy, original, you-won’t-see-anywhere-else content
• a MASSIVE, hundred-comments-a-post following
• actual relevance not only to bloggers but casual readers as well.

No ads. No gimmicks. Just pure, ROFL humor from its brilliant author, Deejay.

5. Doctor Dude – We have met lots of different kinds of bloggers. Some write about topics on health. A few resort into sarcasm and humor. And there are also individuals who prefer to ramble in front of the camera instead. Now here’s a blogger who’s rolled all these into one. Meet Raymond of DoctorDude – a funny doctor who video blogs about medicine and health in the Philippines.  I must admit it’s a great concept that’s why im rooting for this guy to vlog his way in to the big list.

6. Through the Focal Glass – Vanjhnn is one of those bloggers who decided to take it to the next level and get out of his photoblogging comfort zone. With last year’s winner, Kevin Ray, he is also one of Cebu’s more recognizable bloggers and he’s now exploring the awesome craft of video blogging! With just a few more baby steps, I think his blog has got what it takes to influence Cebuanos to give video blogging a good try.

8. RP2010 – The Election WatchBlog

9. Let’s Go Sago!

10. Batang Lakwatsero

This list may still change over the coming 2 weeks. Will finish writing about each blog once I finalize this. Cheers!

Burger! Burger! Burger!

When some of my org mates hang out in our place on a hot Saturday afternoon, nothing will make them happy except food and of course, really good food. With that, nothing really screams louder than a gooood cheeseburger. Any cheeseburger. And since we can’t have that ‘coz we’re broke, we made a video about it instead.

Here’s our desperate, on-the-spot attempt of winning a 500-peso gift certificate from McDonald’s. There’s no cool mutants(Ria as Storm is WINNAR.) But still, try to enjoy. XD
