I love blog-hopping and I always have this feeling of admiration for the writer, how those thoughts and ideas are put into words, and how some could even share so much about themselves online.
OK, that’s just the intro, hehe… this is actually a meme I have on my mind which I mentioned in my previous post. Yup, this is it! I’d like to spread a ‘virus’ of blog appreciation here in the blogosphere. It will encourage appreciation of our blogmates’ written efforts and validate their own ideas and thoughts. It will also encourage everybody to visit other blogs as well.
Here are the rules:
1. Choose five blogs randomly from your blogroll.
2. For each blog, choose at least one entry (you could add more) which is your favorite post by this blogger.
3. Include a link to this post and explain why you like it.
4. The chosen five bloggers are considered tagged and they will also have to do the same in their blogs.
Don’t be too hung up on grammar or some writing technicalities, just choose for the simple reason that you enjoyed reading the entry – it made you laugh, shed tears, fuming mad, motivated, inspired – whatever your reasons are, you think it’s the blogger’s best post so far and could even make it to the list of the blogosphere’s all time favorites.
Here are my five picks (consider yourselves tagged and enjoy doing the meme!):
1. Snglguy (Inside the Mind of a Single Guy) > This is my fave blog for current events, politics and anything goes. Reading some of his posts is like reading an editorial with his distinctive manner of rants and raves.
My faves:
Can’t win em all… – I just love how you replied to that offensive comment… nakakabilib!
The Couch Potato: A Classics Weekend… and The Couch Potato: A Classics Weekend part 2 – very informative posts about some movie classics, I learned something here!
2. Raine (Introspection) > This girl is witty and it shows in her posts which can make me laugh and surprise me sometimes.
My faves:
My five dream jobs – I like how it’s written, with matching images pa. It’s true, when you enjoy what you’re doing, it’s not even called a job after all.
Fortuneteller – enjoyed reading this, written in a funny way. I can relate coz I don’t like fortunetellers, horoscopes, and other forms of astrology.
My struggle to be a non-Catholic – I love the honesty of this post… Raine, you just don’t know how this post affected me, it got me thinking deeply about my own faith as a Catholic too, and strangely enough this post made me appreciate my faith even more.
3. Daisy (The Blue Apron) > this used to be a food blog but later took on a different path when the owner of the blue apron got transported to a different kitchen!
My faves:
A Dish With No Name – this is my fave featured dish, mainly coz it has no name, meaning it is original, and the photos are great.
My stalker – initially I had no idea who’s the stalker, and was surprised to find out who he was in the end.
4. Rey (Artkitekto) > Talented architect and comic artist
My faves:
Burst of life – of all the paintings and sketches featured in his blog, this one is a personal fave
Memories of the river – so poignant and touching, brings back some childhood memories for me too
Steps in making a Masterpiece – this is a recent post I so love coz it’s a cool cute presentation of steps in drawing which truly shows a parent’s appreciation for his kid
5. Tin-tin (What Makes My Life Pretty?) > being pretty inside and out
My faves:
Grrrrr! – wala lang, nakakaaliw lang, how you reacted to a distasteful message in your tagboard, hehehe…
face(s) of tin-tin – fave ko ‘to, I like how the pics show the transition from being a toothless pa-cute kid to being a sexy and still pa-cute lady.
Whew! I wanted to post all my fave posts from my blogroll but I’ll leave that up to the others, hope this meme reaches you soon! naks. What about me? Which of my posts are your faves? assuming talaga, hehehe… : )
Thanks for putting the favourite posts, carey. I’ll try to post one as soon as I get free.
Thank you for the kind words carey 🙂

salamat blogsy friend sa pag apil nako diri! teehee!
was my blog ever a food blog? geeshhh…
anyway, it might take me a long time to make such post. mag re-read/review pa sa mga posts sa akong blogsy friends.
RIP na akong stalker! tsk tsk
yikee!! kasama ako! hahaha. touching! pero bket wala akong description? parang tlgang pinagpilitan mo lang na masama ako sa itatag mo. may galit ka saken noh? wahahaha. joke lang 🙂
haaay.. buti na lang kasama syo sila snglguy and rey. may excuse ako na di sila isama sa list ko. wahehe.
comment lang.. nakakatampo itong meme mo ha. mali! you pronounce it as meem. hahaha. anyway, nakakatampo kse pano yung mga di malalagay? o diba? kaya touch ako kse kasama ako. hehehe. talagang gumawa pa ako ng issue. wahehehe. pero first time ko matouch sa ginawang tag ha.
gawin ko tomorrow. not sure lang kung mapost ko tomorrow. kse syempre iisa-isahin ko pa yung blog ko para sa favorite posts. hehehe ;p
thanks again carey! 🙂
at pa-cute lady ako ngayon kse mahirap maging sobrang pretty. bwahahaha ;p
Oh Wow! You sure know how to come up with a meme. Anyway, this might take time, but I’ll surely do it… ikaw pa. 😉
PS: You really loved that Can’t Win em All post don’t ya? LOL 😀
Rey: you’re welcome, and take your time, i know you’re busy these days. 🙂
Raine: okies, i’m looking forward to your post. wow, kariron man gyud. hehehe… ako bitaw, gi-karir pud nako, as in…
Daisy: it was a food blog of course… i kinda miss it, but oh well…
will be waiting for your post.
yeah, too bad your stalker is now gone. 🙁
Snglguy: yeah, it sure will take time, so no probs. Let’s see what you’ll come up with. ikaw pa. 🙂
yup, that post is one of my all time faves, hehehe….
Tin-tin: yikessss…. sorry pooo, laki ng kasalanan ko, di ko nalagay ang description mo. Andyan na, updated na. Daisy also told me the link to ‘Grrrr!’ post was incorrect, so I fixed it na.
Oo, meme is pronounced as ‘meem’, di sa akin galing yun, sa dictionary.com yun ha.
Anyway, I’m sure di sila magtatampo, mag-celebrate pa nga siguro sila kasi di sila na-tag, hehehe… I know doing memes take time, that’s why I only required 5 bloggers, if we have to include all sa blogroll, baka di na matapos ang paggawa ng meme, diba, esp. yung may mahabang blogroll, naku. Anyway, yung hindi na-tag, I hope they will be tagged once the meme goes around the blogosphere. In my case, I chose those active bloggers whom I’ve known long enough to have read almost all of their blog entries.
A note to those I haven’t tagged: It doesn’t mean I don’t have any favorite posts in your blogs, I do have, but I have to make the meme not so time-consuming.
huy carey, joke lang noh. okay lang even if there’s no description. pero thanks talaga. i did the tag na. lakas mo! di na ako nagtrabaho for this. ang bilis tuloy. i posted it na. wahehehe ;p
Tin-tin: dapat lang naman talaga may description, so excited na kasi akong ma-post yung meme kaya na-overlook ko yung last in the list w/c happened to be yours.
grabe naman, di ka na nakapagtrabaho coz of the meme? hehehe…
thanks so much Tin!
