Forget the ampersand. I would have to do the image all over again just to remove it. :p

Blogging has indeed redefined how netizens express themselves. Through this expression of oneself through blogging, one may positively influence others. Interestingly, many new blogs have the common goal of having an good impact on others. And this entry aims to list the TOP 10 of the most positively-influencing new blogs in the blogosphere. Here are my bets for the Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs for 2010:


1. Ganda Ever So Much - The wit and humor in writing in Sir Orman Manansala's personal blog is something that most bloggers greet with joy and envy. Simply Mindanao's most kwela and influential blog. 'nuf said. :)

2. Ako Si Rabsky - This personal blog by Ravi Villanueva, a good friend, is the place to be when looking for insights that older people do not notice. This is the most personal of the personal blogs in the SOCCSKSARGEN Bloggers!

3. Plurk Designs - When looking for the coolest and great-looking layouts for Southeast Asia's Twitter, the best place to be in is in Teacher Lyle Santos' repository of his Plurk layouts. I used his fantastic 'Avatar: The Last Airbender' layout for quite sometime (until I was freakin' disappointed with the 3D movie :p).

4. A Thousand Ships - We have witnessed this blog's fast rise to the limelight. I mean, fast, that the blog started only last April, and is now making it big in Wordpress.com's lists. Sir Mandi Nicolas' writing style in certainly enviable. No bubbly, dig-the-dictionary words, but still top-notch.

5. Kusina Maria - Aside from spending hours and hours in movie theaters, another passion (read: appetite) of mine is into food. Ate Ria Jose's food and cooking blog is the food lovers' haven in cyberspace. The yummy photos and perfect words to describe food will surely catch anyone's attention and, well, appetite.

6. Kikay Much - No, I'm not into fashion and make-up. But this fashion and beauty blog by Ate Donna Mae Congson proves that looking good is not just women's business with her unexpected posts specially for men. Aside from the carefully-detailed posts, her appetite for blogging daily is indeed admirable (and I should do so myself :p).

7. Get Prettified - There's no question to Ate Brendel Balaga's beauty and kewl lifestyle, as it shows on herself and her beauty and lifestyle blog. The latest trends on beauty and lifestyle, musn't-miss sales, fashion accessories, health, name it and Get Prettified has got them all covered!

8. Digital Exposures - I've always wanted to start a photo blog. Photos from everywhere and all walks of life are simply fascinating. Doc Remo Aguilar's photo blog is the perfect blog to learn a lot from when I start my own - and buy my own DSLR.

9. Gensan Gems - Ate Gay Carillo's older blog, A Scientist in the Kitchen is a real hit with all her yummy experiments as she aims to concoct the best gastric pleasures. Her new blog deals with her life in General Santos City, along with her adorable 'Pasta', a black Labrador, and, of course, the kewlest blogging group in Southern Philippines - the SOCCSKSARGEN Bloggers!

10. Alexis Chua | The Personal Blog - My first real blog. I hope to positively influence readers with my writings. And I think it's working. :D
