Since the nomination ended last August 31, I have tried not to think about the 2010 Emerging and Influential Blog for 2010. Well, I failed because I have been checking out the website for the results EVERYDAY. I can put up a straight face and act as if I’m not affected at all. But everyday has been so nerve-wracking that my stress level has see-sawed as fast as one can pronounced TIMBUKTU! Because, honestly, I wanted to be in the list.
Ayokong magpaka-plastic, so here goes…GandaEverSoMuch is going to be a year old on August 1. I’ve put in everything that I’ve got in this blog. Blood, sweat, tears at kung anik-anik pa. This blog not only liberated me, it totally tore my closet door down. And it actually opened a whole new world for me. Not that I hate it, on the contrary, I am so loving it. Dumadami na din ang Faithful Readers ng GESM. Marami nang nakiki-kokak sa akin.
Winning isn’t everything. NOT! It means the whole world to me. So do allow me, faithful readers, to gloat about this. I know. I know. If not for you, GandaEverSoMuch would have been just another emo blog site. And for that, I am thankful. Extremely thankful. Blogging isn’t easy but when you get the hang of it, it feels like second-skin. It’s not everyday that you’re up and about but for as long as you love what you do then you’re almost always good to go. I have experienced my second wind in blogging. I am glad that I have influenced some of my friends to blog too. Am I inspiring you? Then all I can say is – Go for it. Be as ganda ever as you can be.
And so I share with you the Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs for 2010 as chosen by bloggers who participated in this writing project. Four of us are from Mindanao! Here’s the complete list:
- When in Manila
- NomNom Club
- Facebuko
Ganda Ever So Much! - Kusina Maria
Project 52 Weeks - Fat Girl No More
Music Vlog
The Creative Dork - The Thirsty Blogger
- Foodie Manila
- Jay.eLx
- Paolodome Edge HD
- Get Prettified!
A Special recognition, Blogging for a Cause, was given to Surviving Autism sponsored by GeiserMaclang Marketing Communications. Big thanks to Janette Toral for spearheading this writing project!

Congratulations, Orman!
Truly, you are one of the most influential bloggers in the Philippines and I say that not because you are my friend but because you leave a mark, in one way or another, in the minds and hearts of people fortunate enough to have the privilege of knowing you.
And that, to me, is bona fide influence.
