It is hard choosing ten great blogs without the smallest hint of bias. I started my list last week while I was in the office. It all started in my office notebook and now it ends in this blog post. Phew, a week of contemplating who’s going to make it final in the list. I had three erasures from the list but oh well ten is really not enough but that’s the limit.

In alphabetical order based on URL , here are my Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs for 2009 nominees.

After months of contemplating whether to use WordPress or not, here I am now on my first WordPress blog! I decided to move my What About Bryan blog (http://www.whataboutbryan.info) which is hosted for free on Blogger to this one I named BRYAN KARL dot NET (http://www.bryankarl.net), now on WordPress. The big move was pretty impulsive. I just got bored over at the office and thought about this and instantly purchased a web hosting right then and there. An impulsive purchase, really.

I am still on the big move as there are a lot of things to do when migrating. I am still waiting for Disqus to modify my old comments so they would fit into my new blog. I am also going to do some changes too on social networks. It will be a bit of hard work but this will be pretty fast.

Thanks to Mikyu for the help in my first try on self-hosted WordPress.

Enchanted Kingdom Magicalypics ::: Last week while I was in Manila, we bloggers were invited (special thanks to Eric) to a magical day at Enchanted Kingdom in Sto. Rosa, Laguna. I am glad that I was invited to that bloggers’ event since I have nowhere else to go while I’m there.

After breakfast and early morning ghost stories sharing with Vanjohnn, Winston, Ate Aileen and her Sweetie at Wendy’s, we headed over to the meeting place for all of us. I think that was Makati Intercon, I don’t know . We waited until all of us were there (looking for Hannah) and then off we go to EK.

At first I thought we were just to spend the day on whatever we wanted to do but there was actually a prepared program for all of us. Felt sad for a moment since Mica and Van were on different teams. We’re tagging behind Mica and Winston at first . I got in the purple team together with Winston, Jhelo, Sire, Aeirin, Rochelle and (oops I forgot the rest, please comment below if you are in the purple team ). We watched the 4D Theatre first, Journey to the Center of the Earth (not yet in our teams) then headed for lunch. After lunch, we grouped ourselves into our team colors and were to choose a mascot and a team yell. We chose Barney, hence dinosaur, because of the purple color and we also chose RARR as our sound. RARR. [Continue reading...]

ASUSTeK Computer Incorporated or ASUS (as we commonly call the company) will be in SM City Cebu starting today, May 14, up to May 27, 2009 to hold an event called Ultimate PC Fair 09 in the Atrium near Kameraworld.
