Jedi Bloggers in the Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs for 2009

The Jedi Bloggers (courtesy of Jan of Writing to Exhale), came out victorious from the Awards Night for the Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs of 2009. The dust has settled down and there are collateral losses; nevertheless, the impressive results are all worth it.

Congratulations to the organizer of the writing project - Janette Toral - for the wonderful adventure and for the valuable lessons learned.

These are the Top Ten Blogs for 2009

Writing to Exhale
Patay Gutom
The Struggling Blogger
Zorlone
Father Blogger dot Com
Kelvinonian Ideas 2.0
Tales from the Mom Side
Adaphobic
Lakwatsero
Let's Go Sago!

We would like to thank everyone who voted for these remarkable blogs. These are all “must-read” blogs; you must hop over and peruse their rousing and thought provoking posts.

Special mention goes to the Jedi Bloggers: Jan, Roy, Zorlone, Kelvin, Dee and Angel (honorary member)

Here’s to a new breed of blogs who truly “breathe blog” (courtesy of Roy of The Struggling Blogger).

Here is Dr. Lorenzo Bernardino's - aka Zorlone's heartwarming speech during that momentous event. It is an extemporaneous, touching delivery of a blogger who has carved his name from being an unknown into what he is now - an Influential Blogger, who has provided inspiration and motivation for "would be poets" and creative writers in the blogosphere . Way to go Zorlone!

Congratulations again Doc Z, Roy, Jan, Kelvin, Dee, Angel and the rest of the winners!

Thanks a lot for the mention. It brought a lump to my throat.

    I am really grateful of you for all the support you have given to me. I just wish you had come that night so I can thank you personally.

    Anyway, I believe there will be another time.

    I hope someone will also put video online of my speech so I can put it on my blog.

    Nabenta ko na yung camera ko e, kaya wala akong mga souvenirs..

    I loved watching all the videos! Congratulations to all the winners, and a special thank you to Doc Z, for a speech I could understand and a mention that made me feel included (you all knew that I was there in spirit, even if I couldn't hop on a plane and come halfway around the world to cheer and applaud, right?)

    hi Jena,

    congrats to all the winners! esp to Jan and Roy who I voted for but unfortunately wasn't counted bec. it was "incomplete".

    but my friend reynz at barrio siete have posted an article regarding the whole event.

    i believe there is an issue regarding how the Jedis and their friends voted.roy already answered some issues at hand.

    i have friends on both sides and i just wanted everybody to have a clear picture regarding Janet's way of promoting contests.

    thanks.

    You're welcome and congratulations.

    Yeah, we wish you were here. You'd enjoy the company of the Jedi Bloggers, they all have a story to tell.

    Hi Buraot,

    How are you? I've missed hopping over your site these days - toxic .

    Anyway, let's be happy in their victory. You have seen most of these blogs and they're excellent.

    It's not easy organizing a contest. Janette should be lauded for her effort and dedication to seek and support new bloggers.

    Sayang nga - your vote was not counted. Anyway, may next time pa naman. Thanks sa tiwala.

    If you're interested about the topic you mentioned I have a post in my Random Thoughts Blog.

    Hi Dr. Lauren,

    It's a group that represents the youth, the father blogger, the mommy blogger, arts and many more.

    You may visit their blogs . I am one of them. I am a Jedi blogger.

    Good luck with your studies.

    @Jena,

    Yeah, those nights spent on writing and editing articles. It was probably easier for me to speak from the heart when I knew that I was in good company.

    I missed you, Holly, Irene, Dee, Luke, and Jedchan, who weren't there, but were always with me in spirit.

    Hello Doc Z,

    Yes, those were the days, and look at you now, mas sikat ka pa sa akin.

    But I am happy for you. Now I know, those late nights of editing are all worth it.

    Good luck with future endeavours, Influential Blogger! (winks)

    Of course, Holly, no worries. It'll find its way to your doorstep. Cheers.
