LOL Lemme check of the ten blogs I mentioned, only Fritzified, Missing Carlo and Teen Atheist are personal Despite this, all three blogs still step out of that personal niche to connect stories to more socially-relevant concepts. Filipino Voices is precisely what you're supposedly looking for - it's controversial, VERY diverse and definitely current. A good blog should stir up a controversy? LOL

Most of them tend to emphasize on personal matters and not on what's really good for the entire community. A good blog should stir up controversy, not a collection of rehashed and over-used topics.

It's no doubt one very intelligent blog and it will no doubt earn acclaim as relevant as the Pulitzer itself and it will open the eyes of the uninformed and the country will never be the same anymore after it and blablablablabla... But why is the guy with b as first letter and a number as the last "letter" of his name writing for it? And I agree, do not vote for Brian Gorilla. Nice to see that you’ve made it in Filipino Voices.

Recognition Night. She got called up the stage for an award which she really worked hard for day and night for about two months. She did not get airtime on stage. Just photo ops. She went down the stage and passed by our table. I shook her hand and she said candidly, "I actually prepared a speech. Wanna hear it? It goes, <em>In all humility, I DESERVE THIS</em>" LOLid gLOLd I tells ya. Thanks, Benj. *tears* I've yet to publish my list.
