			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A pack of dark heavy clouds coming from the east corner of the sky coalesced with the radiant morning sun; until the whole light was covered by the hue of greed and indulgence. Fear enveloped humanity. Everything now was full of darkness and terror.</p>
<p>Slowly, the dark clouds opened up ushering the evil that has once again resurrected from the forgotten part of the vast universe after being vanquished by the Knights on their legendary battle. His black robe and fiery eyes signal the return of the man whose heart was enveloped by the â€œdark sideâ€. From his eyes, people can clearly see vengeance and thirst for blood; the blood of those who defeated him. Signaling the annihilation of the select race that has thrown him in to a black hole centuries ago, he called out his Cro-Magnon-like minions and summoned them to sow seeds of terror and destruction.</p>
<p>â€œBring to me all the Knights. Kill all those who will block your way!â€</p>
<p>To this, his minions scattered in all directions of the earth killing innocent lives, destroying everything they could see until they could bring all the Knights to their master.</p>
<p><span id="fullpost"></span><span id="fullpost">Â </span></p>
<div>1. <a href="http://writingtoexhale.com">Writing to Exhale</a>: Jan was tweeting, humming tweet tweet when two Cro-Magnon-like creatures appeared before his doorsteps ready to kill him with their deadly crooked swords and sharp fangs. True to his skills as a Knight, he immediately took his armored black helmet and wore his black leather jacket. As one of the monsters tried to strike itâ€™s sword to Janâ€™s head, he â€œexhaledâ€ on it hundreds of tweet messages. The monster fell on its knees because of the sheer volume of tweets and Jan instantaneously used his helmet to crush the monster. â€œ@Jan_Geronimo: Right at your back!â€ A fellow twitter-buddy sent a tweet on his screen and Jan immediately jumped off the window and landed on his scooter. His donorcyle&#8217;s engine roared running 20kph off the roads of Mindoro. As the monster ran furiously after him, Jan shifted gear and headed towards the ugly monster and hit it with his 20kph blinding speed. The second monster died and vanished. This knight then tweeted, â€œIâ€™m all well. Two down, buddies! James Dean here.â€</div>
<div><span>2. <a href="http://thestrugglingblogger.168center.com">The Struggling Blogger</a>: It was a lazy day for Roy who was still brainstorming for posts for his 13 blogs on his cozy sofa that blogging bought, while sipping his own version of steroids: coffee. A good idea suddenly popped up from this spiritual director for his post. But a slimy monster with 15 eyes, 5 hands and 3 feet jumped off the new sofa of this Knight. â€œI will kill you! Grr!â€ said the monster. Roy saw how dirty his new sofa now was and got so angry at the despicable sight. He rolled up his sleeves and took the stance of a true warrior. As the monster was ready to pop up one of its ugly bulging toxic eyes, Roy took his hot coffee and poured it over the monster. The monster was burned and screamed to death, and Roy took the opportunity to swat it with his â€œfully-loadedâ€ mobile phone. â€œNot on my new sofa, you sucker!â€</span></div>
<p>Â </p>
<div><span id="fullpost">3.<a href="http://zorlone.blogspot.com"> Zorlone</a>: Doc Z was still enjoying his siesta, a sleeping beauty for three hours now. He thought he was only dreaming when a hot chick suddenly turned into an ugly creature. He was still half-naked when he saw that everything is real. The monster with his crooked sword chopped Doc Zâ€™s water-bed into two flooding his room. He then jumped off his nearby CD player and immediately pushed the â€œplayâ€ button. â€œI will never dance again, guilty feet, got no rhythm.â€ To this, the monster was in trance and started to dance asking for the aircon to be turned on. Doc Z saw the opportunity to kill the beast and took his laptop; aimed his video cam and took his stethoscope that flashed a laser beam on the monster. Kaboom! â€œThat is what you call a Ghostbuster scandal dude. Kawabangga!â€</span></div>
<div><span id="fullpost">Â </span></div>
<div><span>4. <a href="http://dearbloggery.com">Dear Bloggery</a>: She was out for a break having her vacation on La Luz, Batangas. But the radar of the dark entities was just so strong that they tracked this beauty sun-bathing at the beach front. â€œYouâ€™re hot dear, but Master told us to kill you.â€ Snow did not quip and just took off her shades to take a good look at the enemy. â€œYou sure?â€ The monster showed its fangs and jumped off Snow, but she suddenly sprayed it with snow and the ugly creature froze to death. â€œNow, donâ€™t ever bother my vacation.â€</span></div>
<div><span id="fullpost">Â </span></div>
<div><span>5. <a href="http://talesfromthemomside.com">Tales From the Mom Side</a>: Dee already knew that some of the Jedi Knights and Lady Warriors were attacked by the minions of Darth Vader courtesy of the endless blow-by-blow tweets of Jan. To this, she and her husband Luke readied themselves. Argg! â€œWe have ugly visitors dear.â€ said Dee to her â€œcuteâ€ hubby. She readied her laptop with its stars and smiley stickers. When Luke opened the door, bullets and lasers coming off from her smiley and star stickers peppered their ugly visitors. â€œDonâ€™t ever dare try to go near my laptop and its stickers. Right Luke?â€ â€œAye, aye madam.â€</span></div>
<div><span id="fullpost">6. <a href="http://fedhz.com">Home Buddies</a>: Near their neighborhood people were already screaming and running for their lives. Fedhz just kept still playing with her child. She paused for a while and prayed so hard that her family be spared from all these atrocities. Hours passed by and no monsters ever came near them. But outside a monster was reading a sign posted at Fedhzâ€™s doorstep, â€œHome Buddyâ€. The monster was a couch potato. Poof!</span></div>
<p><span id="fullpost">7. <a href="http://socialmediaphilippines.com/">Social Media Philippines</a>: Rob also heard the news but he just kept his cool on his cubicle. He tried to compose a tweet just in case a monster suddenly attacks him. Kapoow! His officemates fell unconscious after ferocious Cro-Magnon-like creatures barraged at the opposite cubicle. He then immediately sent his tweet. â€œI am the one you are looking for.â€ he said. The monster marched forward and one of them wounded Rob on his left arm. Rob stood up and just rubbed off the flowing blood. He took off his shades and fired at them his laser beam like Cyclops. All of a sudden, a â€œpadyakâ€ rammed the other monster from the opposite side of the office killing it with the bladed â€œpadyak wheelâ€. A familiar man then stood up and told Rob, â€œBelieve me, I was the one who really tweets.â€ Oh Mr. Palengke in the house!</span></p>
<p>8. <a href="http://daretospeak.wordpress.com">Dare to Speak</a>: It was quite a surprise for Silver to see dark clouds all over her head on high noon. â€œThis is not quite the same weather when I was in our little place Barrio Siete. Ininto man ni nga panahon.â€ she whispered while reminiscing here old roots. â€œWaaah!â€ Ugly creatures crushed her furniture and flowers in her garden. She ran for her dear life not knowing what to do. One monster got hold of her by the hand and not letting her go. â€œWe will crush you and bring you to Darth Vader.â€ Kling! She suddenly knew what to do. â€œHey, I will go with you if you could answer my questions.â€ The monsters scratched their heads and replied, â€œSeems a good idea. OK.â€ â€œWho is blahâ€¦blahâ€¦blahâ€¦When was the blahâ€¦blahâ€¦.blahâ€¦What is the blahâ€¦blahâ€¦blahâ€¦â€ The monsters got so dizzy and fell unconscious not knowing what to answer with Silverâ€™s unending quiz bee narrations. â€œLaki kasi sa gatas.â€ said Silver with a sheepish smile.</p>
<p>9. <a href="http://kelvinonian.com/">Kelvinonian Ideas 2.0</a>: He was on his way to school sporting that funky outfit and hairstyle and a pro-camera dangling on his shoulder. Students suddenly screamed while others jumped off from the second floor of the school building. Chugâ€¦Chugâ€¦Chugâ€¦ â€œWho are you?â€ Kelvin asked. â€œWe are here to kill you!â€ Chak! Chak! Chak! Kelvin took pictures of the dark legions and got them blinded by his cameraâ€™s thundering flash. He immediately manipulated the pics off his laptop, tweak some stuffs and clicked â€œsaveâ€. In an instant, the monsters turned into miniature toys and screensavers.</p>
<p>10.<a href="http://barriosiete.com"> Barrio Siete</a>: The barrio council convened already on what to do and everyone is now ready with their bolos, talong, patola, kalabasa, okra and upo in hand. The barrio kapitana shouted, â€œLet us chorva the uglibesh monsters with our chenez weapons!â€ To this all the barangay tanods shouted in response, â€œChorvahin sila!â€ An army of ugly creatures arrived and the skirmish commenced. Kapitan Reyz smashed the monsters with talong and patola while some of the tanods where wapakels in readying the cauldron. â€œWiners na attech. The monster pakbet is now ready mga chorvalors!â€ shouted the kapitana. And the feast started.</p>
<p>The remaining monsters went back to their Master badly wounded and feeling defeated.</p>
<p>â€œMaster, those Knights and Warriors were just so strong. Our army was defeated.â€</p>
<p>Darth Vader turned from his back from what he was busy doing in the computer and starred with great anger to his minions.</p>
<p>â€œDimwits! Stop the crap! Go occupy those seats and now make your own lists of Top Ten Nominees. Let us all defeat those suckers in the remaining four voting weeks.â€</p>
<p>â€œYes boss! But could you teach us how to make a blog account?â€</p>
<p>â€œAsk those Jedi Bloggers, you nutheads!â€</p>

<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_427cVLR5hpI/SjYqSalXe5I/AAAAAAAAAjg/f95fTIr0i4w/s1600-h/blogging+or+not.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"></a><br />
I think I could claim that I made one of the <a href="http://animotivation.blogspot.com/2009/05/elmots-list-of-crazy-ten-emgerging.html">craziest lists of nominees</a> for <a href="http://www.influentialblogger.net/2007/05/leadership-is-influence.html">Mam Janette Toralâ€™s</a> <span style="font-weight:bold;">Emerging Influential Bloggers of 2009</span> with nominees ranging from those who could make you a one sharp-fanged rabid commenter to a blogger fuelled with caffeine on maintaining his 13 damn outstanding blogs with vigor; from one blogger who can shut the daylight out of the career Angel Locsin for being such a beauty, to a mom blogger that I once called â€œbroâ€ after her tear-jerking comment here. *blushing* And that list undeniably made me one crazy blogger after luring all bloggers from all sides of the earth to suggest two more blogs that I could include on my list of eight while actually I only listed seven and skipped a number, proving that I was always enjoying my time at the fourth row during my math subjects. I confess that it was not totally part of the trick but an honest mistake. Therefore, my list leaves me three more vacant spaces for superb and emerging influential bloggers to occupy.</p>
<div><span id="fullpost"></span></div>
<p>Â </p>
<p><span id="fullpost">Though this may came a little bit late but I would like to share some thoughts on the current buzz on the Pinoy Blogosphere about the Influential Blogger and maybe guide also those who are not yet done with their precious lists.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight:bold;"><br />
But who is the Influential Blogger?</span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.influentialblogger.net/2007/05/leadership-is-influence.html">Mam Janette</a> succinctly described the emerging influential blogger by sharing some excerpts that we could use as guides on our selection from the king of leadership himself, John Maxwell who said <span style="font-style:italic;">â€œLeadership is influence. No more, no less.â€</span></p>
<p>Here are some other points on leadership and influence:<br />
â€¢ Everyone influences someone.<br />
â€¢ We never know who or how much we influence<br />
â€¢ The best investment in the future is a proper influence today.<br />
â€¢ Influence is a skill that can be developed.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight:bold;">But how could we know that a blogger is influential?</span></p>
<p>Though you send me a basket of <span style="font-style:italic;">â€œbalutâ€</span> or freshly-baked gourmet pizza, but that does not assure you of my vote and love unless you are one hell of an influential blogger in your niche.</p>
<p>Let me share an incident.</p>
<p>There is this one very aggressive blogger who emailed me quite a number of times. First time, asking me how am I doing on my blogging and asked me to check out his blog. <span style="font-style:italic;">Poof!</span> Second time, asked me if I have my list already and maybe could consider his blog to be included on my powerhouse list. <span style="font-style:italic;">Poof!</span> I did not reply to his emails being true to my word that the one who deserves will get his due.</p>
<p>And the hullabaloo happened. There was this heated exchange of comments on another blog with the same guy who emailed me against one hot hunk blogger, whether a new blog with almost no posts on it be included on the nomination with the sheer reasoning that the owner of the blog has done tremendous things on doing SEO works on his other blogs. Darn, it was like Fernando Poe Jr. versus his arch nemesis Paquito Diaz! <span style="font-style:italic;">Bang, bang! Kaboom! Pow!</span></p>
<p>The owner of the blog refereed, and guess what, the SEO guy placed his blog on the top of his list of nominees!</p>
<p>I think, one important point is that the blogger in general could not be separated from his blog; he is his blog! This is where he expresses his ideas and connects to the world, and where the world connects to him. Without his blog, he is nothing but a solitary ordinary man confined on his own life space. His blog speaks for him and listens for him (hopefully he does know how to listen) to whatever other people say.</p>
<p>Therefore, oneâ€™s blogging influence is measured by his communicating power to his audience. You communicate with people and they recognize you and this is where influence comes in. Power here is not the strength to put down others or force readers and visitors to confine themselves on fear and guilt for speaking out their minds or worse excommunicate them from the blogosphere . Either, recognition is not about praises on our blogging prowess but is basically all about honesty. Readers, friends and strangers, interacts with you on your blog; they may most of the time agree but are not also afraid to disagree with your ideas for they know that being influential means being open-minded to the wider world and to other voices. This blogger may not be the highest authority or the man solely holding the bastion of truth on his niche but his voice could be recognized as a valuable point-of-view worthy to be listened to. And if I further may add, he basically influences your own blogging in some ways. That is the influential blogger.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight:bold;">Vote, Vote Vote!</span></p>
<p>There are those who got scandalized with bloggers who placed their blogs on their own nominations. Or those who are irritated by the nomination-spree of bloggers of their own friends to their list that makes them top the canvassing week by week.</p>
<p>I have nothing against this one, but if I could only use the same measure stick that I use on my own nomination on other bloggers, my sole criterion is â€œmeritocracyâ€. For heavenâ€™s sake, if you think you truly deserve and take note you feel your readers, friends and blog visitors attest to that, then go on! One who deserves his due should not be robbed by this great opportunity. Vote your friends, nominate them and even yourself maybe; if and only if they truly and you truly deserve to be on that list side by side other Pinoy uber bloggers. I saw many bloggers who did not nominate themselves though they are really pretty much qualified technically and in the strictest sense of the word influential. But in the end, our votes will therefore speak of ourselves.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight:bold;"><br />
My Final List of Even Crazier Emerging Influential Bloggers!</span></p>
<p>In the coming days, I will be posting my own â€œcomplete listâ€ of even crazier emerging influential bloggers, minus my moronic way of counting from 1-10, promise. So brace for yourselves.</p>
<p>Three slots are still open and they will be occupied in just a couple of days. My congratulations in advance.</p>
<p>What is your own â€œdistinctâ€ definition or criterion of an emerging influential blogger as basis for your list of nominees? Who is the Influential Blogger for you?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>image from <a href="http://s.bebo.com/app-image/9226949960/5411656627/PROFILE/i.quizzaz.com/img/q/u/09/02/13/crazy_blogger.jpg">bebo</a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_427cVLR5hpI/ShZ-mrPpySI/AAAAAAAAAiw/6dr4jcphWuM/s1600-h/crazy+blogger.bmp"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 223px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_427cVLR5hpI/ShZ-mrPpySI/AAAAAAAAAiw/6dr4jcphWuM/s320/crazy+blogger.bmp" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338593611202808098" /></a><br />I canâ€™t believe it, but this is actually my 100 and first post since I started blogging.  Wow!  Now, I am hearing throngs of my screaming fansâ€¦somewhere.  And if I could only twist some arms from blogger.com or I was just plainly a tech genius that could find ways to escape the natural talent of Ms. Janette Toral for nifty details and where to find them of course; I could have given Roy a good fight with his inclusion of my blog to his own set of prestigious nomination.  Maybe this blog would simply fit for the Influential Blogs category huh?  Oh, now I am hearing once again my screaming fansâ€¦somewhere. LOL!  </p>
<p>I am therefore already content with the fact that so many great bloggers were actually planning to include my blog on their lists without me begging for it; even the <a href="http://reynaelena.com">Reynz</a>, Queen of Pinoy Blogosphere focused her eyes on me (blushing), a boylet understudy, only to learn later that I am disqualified.  So she has to yield to the authority.  See, even the queen follows rules, nut head senators! </p>
<p><span id="fullpost"><br />So, since this blog fell from the ranks of nominations because of technicality, what a way to spend my 101st post but by making my own list of nominations for the <a href="http://www.influentialblogger.net/2009/05/week-1-top-10-emerging-influential.html">Top Ten Emerging Influential Blogs of 2009</a>.  </p>
<p><span style="font-weight:bold;">Beware:</span>  all nominees on my list are crazy bloggers!  When you get near them, you will get addicted to their blogs and become rabid commentersâ€¦just like mine. So better know them.  LOL!</p>
<p><span style="font-weight:bold;">Elmotâ€™s Crazy Nominees to the Top Ten Emerging Influential Blogs 2009</span></p>
<p>1.  <span style="font-weight:bold;">Jan</span> of <a href="www.salabasngmandaluyong.blogspot.com">Sa Labas ng Mandaluyong</a> â€“ All hands to my Big Bro!  And at the same time the LJ of your dreams.  No, not LJ Reyes or Moreno on their kinky polka dot bikinisâ€¦itâ€™s Lolo Jan!  What can I say, the blog name already speaks for itself why he is on top of crazy my list of blogs.  LOL!</p>
<p>2. <span style="font-weight:bold;">Roy</span> of <a href="http://thestrugglingblogger.168center.com">The Struggling Blogger</a> â€“ If this guy have 13 damn great blogs all working just fine, we are all therefore doing a great disservice to this genius and blogger on steroids if he is not included in our list.  Did your mom Idol Roy made you drink steroids instead of infant formula? LOL!</p>
<p>3. <span style="font-weight:bold;">Snow</span> of <a href="http://dearbloggery.com">Dear Bloggery</a> â€“ What can I say about her?  Cute.  What else?  Cute.  Now, where is my <span style="font-style:italic;">balut</span> dear Snow? Donâ€™t forget the <span style="font-style:italic;">suka </span>and <span style="font-style:italic;">asin</span> ha? Ehehe!</p>
<p>4. <span style="font-weight:bold;">Dee</span> of <a href="www.talesfromthemomside.com">Tales From the Mom Side</a> â€“ Great mom, writer and lawyer!  The wife of the one and only â€œhandsomeâ€ (according to Dee) Luke Skywalker.  For all those who love freebies, this is the place to be. <img src='http://www.pinoysoundingboard.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>5. <span style="font-weight:bold;">Doc Zayden</span> of <a href="http://zorlone.blogspot.com/">Zorlone</a> â€“ A full-time poet and part-time doctor.  A full-time doctor and a part-time poet.  Loves <span style="font-style:italic;">â€œbukolsâ€</span>and making great sizzling scripts for dear Elmot and his students.  That is Z!  I nominated him so that he will get his hands off his digicam and his â€œcareless whisper movesâ€.  LOL!</p>
<p>6. <span style="font-weight:bold;">Silver</span> of <a href="http://daretospeakout.wordpress.com/">Dare to Speak Out</a> â€“   The Kuya Germs of your dreams!  Donâ€™t sue me Roy for plagiarism.  Blogger 24/7, she posted one of the most outrageous Storm Trooper having an LBM beside her laptop.</p>
<p>8. <span style="font-weight:bold;">Fhedz</span> of <a href="http://fedhz.com/">Home Buddies</a> â€“ Once called her a â€œbroâ€ after her tear-jerking comment on my post.  What a nut I was, LOL!  She will remind you of your own very loving mom on her posts.</p>
<p>9.  <span style="font-weight:bold;">You!</span></p>
<p>10. <span style="font-weight:bold;">You! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:bold;">2 More Spots For Us to Work Out!</span></p>
<p>Though I was totally searching the web to complete my list, unfortunately, I donâ€™t want to have a monopoly on making my list of nominations.  So for all of you guys, kindly help me out decide which blogs to include on the last two spots, suggest here blogs (either your own or of someone you know) that are worthy to be included here.  A <span style="font-style:italic;">balot</span> would already do, but hey, I will ask some more from you.  </p>
<p>This is first. He should qualify for this project; and that would not lead me therefore to making my â€œtough tenâ€ nominees.  </p>
<p>Second.  The blogger is one crazy blogger, that whenever you visit his/her blog; you instantly become one screaming fan and a rabid commenter doing your own social climbing 101.</p>
<p>Third.  The blogger/blog that you would suggest here is not involved in a sex scandal fronting the You Tube.  If you think that they are prone to doing one, then it is time for you to do your divine civic duty:  nominate them here and save them from the wrath of Bong Revilla!</p>
<p>Plus,do some convincing here with the other guys (know them too) that you deserve to be nominated.  My nomination is not some freebie; earn it dude.  That is the way it is.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight:bold;">Give Me Some Lovin!</span></p>
<p>So for all those nominated here and will be nominated, I would ask you therefore to also give me some lovin (careless whisper playing as background music, turning on the aircon).  No, I am not asking you to nominate me and receive Ms. Janetteâ€™s edict that I am disqualified.  I would be simply asking you to support my blog, this very famous blog, in your own special way.  Thatâ€™s it!</p>
<p>And from my end, since I nominated you, I will do my very best to campaign for all of youâ€¦through traditional ways and dirty tricks alike.  Ooopsâ€¦</p>
<p>So, maybe I will just wait for my freshly-baked Garden Gourmet Pizza Doc Z? </p>
<p><span style="font-weight:bold;">Give Ms. Janette and Our Sponsors Some Lovin</span></p>
<p>This writing and blogging project is the brainchild <a href="http://www.influentialblogger.net">Ms. Janette Torral</a> and made possible by generous sponsors:  <a href="http://www.absolutetraders.com/newsletter/">The Absolute Traders</a>, <a href="http://www.mybrutecheats.com/">My Brute Cheats</a>, and <a href="http://www.bizsum.com/">Business Summaries</a>.</p>
<p>On to you now guys!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>image by <a href="http://www.sethjones.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/stormtrooperbday.jpg">seth jones</a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_427cVLR5hpI/Sg6Yulo_nRI/AAAAAAAAAig/8OtWa8KlgNQ/s1600-h/stormtrooperbday.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_427cVLR5hpI/Sg6Yulo_nRI/AAAAAAAAAig/8OtWa8KlgNQ/s320/stormtrooperbday.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336370534626073874" /></a>When it rains, it pours. </p>
<p>I havenâ€™t never really appreciated these words only until lately when I would wake up from the middle of the night because of precious some text messages saying I won this or that and they were all for my taking.  And I could say that I was like some hyperactive nuts only to look at myself in the mirror in the morning sporting those funny eye bags.  You know who you are.  LOL!<br /><span id="fullpost"></p>
<p><strong>Manna From Heaven</strong></p>
<p>First thing is that I won Big Bro <a href="http://salabasngmandaluyong.blogspot.com">Janâ€™s</a> Top Commentator for April after literally braving the raging storm just to hit the mark and take home his secret prize.  It is now though no longer a secret.  I won John Grishamâ€™s book â€œThe Appealâ€.   And just after a couple of days, the mail man in the middle of the storm was calling me out from our house.  I donâ€™t know if that book has some curse in it.  But the mail man was certainly pissed off; he was all wet.  I read the book for two days, until the early morn only to get pissed with a nasty ending with the villain laughing to his heartâ€™s content while cruising the Hudson River on his multi-million yacht.  And I myself would want to email John to make my own â€œappealâ€.</p>
<p>Second.  Together with <a href="http://thestrugglingblogger.com">Fafa Roy</a>, we won <a href="http://www.talesfromthemomside.com/2009/05/winners.html">Deeâ€™s contest </a>on her blog.  And the price is a book â€œChicken Soup for the Soul; Moms and Sonsâ€.  Donâ€™t worry <a href="http://reynaelena.com">Reynz</a>, this is not the chicken that <a href="http://youcanmakemelaugh.blogspot.com/">Lee </a>took from your palace and let them dive over some boiling water and papaya. <img src='http://www.pinoysoundingboard.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />   Actually, this is my first time to own a chicken soup book for I just contented myself in the past of barrowing books from our library and returning them with excessive fines for me to cry over be depressed for it.  Thanks Dee!  I just hope that the book will be delivered on a sunny day this time.</p>
<p>Surely, dear momma is so proud of me.</p>
<p>Thank you guys Jan and Dee!  </p>
<p><strong>Water Springing from the Rock</strong></p>
<p>I was so surprised that Roy featured me on his blog through <a href="http://thestrugglingblogger.168center.com/2009/05/12/bloggers-connection-elmot/#comment-29807">Bloggers Connection</a>.  Royâ€™s impassionate description of me and my blog was so well crafted that one commenter said that I could pass as a toothpaste commercial model?  Photoshop really makes miracles, ehehe!  While the other one could not stop from describing me as a  â€œcutieâ€ from the start of her comment till the end, right Lee?  That she would have ignored the featured blogger if not for being a â€œcutieâ€.  Nice!  I guess if I posted the picture of Golum, she would have just cut her throat and blame Roy for the tragedy.  </p>
<p>It was a post and a project that was well accepted by his readers and friends that he could already pass for an A-list showbiz insider, ala- Boy Abunda; I canâ€™t imagine Roy move and dress up like Boy, even more like Krissy, LOL!  In short, he made me real handsome on his post.  I could only grin from where I am (actually even into my sleep) with the â€œboy-next-doorâ€ packaging.  Thanks Roy!</p>
<p>But another unexpected miracle that Roy did to me is when he included my blog on his list of his <a href="http://thestrugglingblogger.168center.com/2009/05/15/my-list-of-top-10-emerging-influential-blogs/#comment-29808">Top Ten Emerging Influential Bloggers</a>.  This is a shocker for me.  I thought I could only content myself on being the secret PR operative carrying with me a bag full of tricks (which is now no longer a secret) of all my blogging buddies who were already nominated.  Here is Royâ€™s list.</p>
<p>1. <a href="http://dearbloggery.com">Dear Bloggery</a><br />2. <a href="http://salabasngmandaluyong.blogspot.com">Sa Labas ng Mandaluyong</a><br />3. <a href="http://daretospeakout.wordpress.com/">Dare to Speak</a><br />4. <a href="http://zorlone.blogspot.com">Zorlone</a><br />5. <a href="http://animotivation.blogspot.com">Ani-mo!!!</a> <strong>Yipeee!!!! Im Here!</strong><br />6. <a href="http://keepitshortandsimple.blogspot.com">Keep it Short and Simple (KISS)</a><br />7. <a href="http://fatherblogger.com">Father Blogger Dot Com</a></p>
<p>Donâ€™t worry, I am not mistaken.  It is really 7 as of this writing.  Roy has only 7 yet, and the edict from the Palace of the Queen has gotten his attention already to fill in the last three lest he suffer the consequences of not joining the free raffle and take home a â€œlapadâ€ or a â€œgin-bilogâ€.  Guys, could recommend to Roy some blogs that you think are worthy to be included on his hot list.</p>
<p>Thanks Roy!  You owned yourself a good spot on my list.  So watch out also on my own Top Ten Emerging Influential Bloggers.</p>
<p><strong>The Feast at the Queen&#8217;s Palace</strong></p>
<p>One meaningful definition that I could give to blogging is relationships. While others blog just for the sake of labeling other bloggers some Neanderthal â€œjologsâ€™ term as one publicity stunt disguised as somewhat an authoritative understanding of the whole universe of blogging and pull a party after getting some cheap massive traffic (no links, it is not worth another traffic believe me); I choose to understand my blogging experience as a web of relationships.  It may not be always happy nonetheless I know that somewhere out there, there are friends and buddies who make me always excited to show my best and worst on blog and their blogs too.</p>
<p>Part of this happy experience is getting myself acquainted at the <a href="http://reynaelena.com">Palace of the Queen of Pinoy Blogosphere.</a>  At first I was just standing by the lobby and eavesdropping on the conversations of her counts and countess, dukes and duchess, and of course her serfs and some spies.  Now, I am actively engaging myself on the ladder of social climbing 101. Let us go Fafa Roy and let us chorva the â€œ<em>bukol-loving</em>â€ Doc Z and the â€œ<em>kapa-masterâ€</em> Jan! LOL!</p>
<p>Thank you guys and to all my blogging buddies for making blogging this fun! To Jan, Jaypee, Roy, Snow, Gem, Bingskee, Holly, Doc Z, diTesco, Yatot, Luke, Lee, Reyna, Silver, Dee, Ceblogger and Roel&#8230;Thanks alot!</p>
<p><span style="font-weight:bold;">UPDATE:</span></p>
<p>I am sorry to say this to all my screaming fans out there, wherever you are (hey, scream! there you go), but this blog of mine is &#8220;disqualified&#8221; to being nominated to the Top Ten Emerging Influential Blogger, for as Ms. Janette Toral commented on Roy&#8217;s blog, I started Ani-Mo!!! way before May 2008.  I really appreciate your support especially for Roy.  Hey, Z, hope I could still get even just a slice of your pizza!  Maybe this blog of mine will pass for the &#8220;Influential Blogger&#8221; category? ehehehe!  What do you think?</p>
<p>And kindly help me also guys on making my own Top Ten List of Emerging Influential Bloggers.  Any blog that you deem worthy to be included on my own list?  </p>
<p>Did you enjoy my post?  You can actively participate in the discussion by commenting.  And to keep updated by the latest news, commentaries and discussions, you can also subscribe through your email.</p>
