This is probably weird for most of my readers, but yeah, I decided to give it a go just for the sake of trying. Two weeks ago, I got an e-mail from Nuffnang regarding the MTV Blog Squad Search. I didn’t exactly jump at the opportunity right away but being a veteran (and reject) of not-so many adventure races, TV gigs and talent shows, my competitive side got the better of me so I’m now chest-deep in the search! I wouldn’t even begin to imagine what my chances are at this stage. All I know is that I gave it a real good shot.
Blogging was quite a good field for me last year. I started a new travel blog Visit Sagada that is now the top Google search result for certain keywords pertaining to the backpacker Mecca of Sagada. My blogs was nominated as a finalist for three awards during the 2008 Philippine Blog Awards and I was able to win the Personal Blog Category – probably the most contentious category that year. While I do not claim to be the best writer, I can assure you that I will be… TENACIOUS. haha
There are four slots for the job and sometime during this process, those in the running will be asked to leave for Singapore for an interview. I’m guessing the Philippines will be lucky to get more than one blogger in.
To date, I have written four entries for the MTV Blogger Search – three of them in music and one in *haha*fashion and lifestyle. The organizers pretty much limit your themes and topics so I had to really work with the canned subjects under each category. Please do take time to read them and rate them either with a thumbs up or thumbs down. I would really appreciate it that you support me if you believe that I should go further in the competition. You may for each entry vote every 5 minutes.
