Giving a Shot at the Philippine Blogosphere

Yesterday, a 'stranger' saw me typing my blog post. Noticing what I'm doing, he opened up this topic of his classmate from high school having her own blog and making it to Top 100 of the Philippine blogosphere. His classmate focused on topics of interest, such as politics and the latest showbiz buzz. Hmm, sounds interesting.

Top 100. Sounds like a dream far to catch.

After googling up the 'top 100 Philippine blogs' tag, I stumbled upon this site called Ratified.org.


^In case you can't read it (you can also click it to get a bigger view of the image): "Ratified.org measures the top 100 blogs of the Philippine blogosphere. Electro-charged by the uber-geeky Technorati data sprinkled with Feedburner stats."


"Wait a minute? Jan, are you serious? You wanna be in the Top 100? Give me a break."

Uhm, I don't know why I'm doing this. Personally, I don't think my blog would even fit for a Ratification. Barely two comments on my 20+ posts, no visitors except myself (I keep referring my blog to my friends, but it seems that they don't want to read all-English posts. :( ), topics of no relevance nor importance to any visitor, and such. I'm not a famed celebrity whose personal life is of life to others (I am reading Bianca Gonzales' blog *self-confessed fan*). Worse, when I signed up for Technorati.com, I was ranked way down the abyss. Me and my awful destiny. :(



^Sigh (you can also click it to get a bigger view of the image).


I also signed up for Feedburner.com, and I already added the widget on my blog. I doubt if anyone would like to feed from my blogpage. :(

But look at me.
This may be ironic, but I'd like to give my blog a shot. This may be cliché, but I'd try until I succeed. Well, I'm not really dreaming of reaching the stellar #1 spot, but I just want myself to be recognized as a blogger, at least in the Philippine blogosphere, not just an insignificant dot in the webspace. I'm crossing my fingers.

Pray for me. *types application to Ratified.org*
