Literally, the word “influential” means having or exerting influence especially great influence. A person is said to be influential of his own if he exerts or can exert strong influence to the people around him. So therefore, the word “influential” has something to do with the word “exertion”.

I remember Newton’s First Law of Motion which is The Law of Inertia. His first law clearly states:

An object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force.

It simply means that if there’s an additional external force applied to an object, its velocity will change because of the exerted force. At this point, you may think what is the connection of The Law of Inertia on choosing my Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs for 2011, right?

Well figuratively speaking, the object on the abovementioned explanation was actually yours truly and the external forces were the influential blogs I’ve chosen. Though I am big physically as a blogger but still, these blogs have changed my state from at rest into motion. At rest because before I was only writing articles about my daily activities but now, I am continuously moving in the blogging realm and have seen a lot of things gone with its flow and learned so much from it. With all these things I was able to let my eyes opened wide and truly see the various twists and turns this blogging world has had. Though I feel sometimes I am getting bigger and heavier because of the flaws and lapses I have encountered along the way, still I have these influential blogs to back read and help me to move on and pursue what I have started.

 I just knew that it was the place I’d like to be in! At the time, I turned down a job that pays almost three times what they offered me here, but I knew that I was doing the right thing. That better paying job offer just did not engage my senses fully as much as this job did. And I finally learned the lesson that money is important but money is not everything. – HELENA

The blogger behind HELENA is Engr. Helen Mary Labao. This blog has influenced me to dream big and hit that “mark” one day. I’m always inspired by her blog.

So after blog set up, we must now have first, to care for our readers.

Documenting everyday life has become a habit of Pinoys. They keep a record of everything that has happened to them throughout the day – what they did, when they did it, where they did it, whom they were with, and much more. It’s apparent that every Pinoy wants to tell their friends about their day and with the rise of technology, sharing these documentations of everyday life is so much easier to do. - THEBUMUPSTAIRS

The blogger behind THEBUMUPSTAIRS is Mr. Bino Bautista. His blog has influenced me to be a versatile person. Originally his blog talks about his skills in photography or should I say writing a story in every picture he took.

It’s true what they say. It’s not important what school you go to. What’s important is how much you learn there—and how you apply it in the real world. You can go to the most prominent and most expensive university and still end up jobless and self-destructive. You can be so poor that you don’t get to go to school, but still wind up richer and more successful than those with double degrees. – FIELD OF DREAMS

The blogger behind FIELD OF DREAMS is Mr. Roy Paran. This blog has influenced me to practice more of my freedom of speech and to be generous. It’s because most of his timely posts centers his point of views about certain issues in our society today (local and international). Aside from that, his blog also invites bloggers to join his contests which would I say a good step to build rapport between him and his readers. FIELD OF DREAMS is more on to be a giver than a taker in the blogging realm.

If you don’t think about money and do something that you love, you can create a masterpiece that you don’t expect. It allows you to focus on it because you are not anymore enticed to engage yourself from the material things that money can buy simply because you are creating something. And creating something can let you forget about everything else, since you don’t want to end up producing something that you won’t like. - BLOGIRATURE
