The Philippine Blog Awards 2008. I am nominated for a Pizza-sounding award.
Because of the sheer stress brought upon me by work and because, as a blogger, I was and will never be one to concern myself with such trivial things like referrers, page views, unique hits* and what not; I have been completely out of the loop as far as current events in the local blogosphere would go.
(*lie. I get around 4,000 page views a day–56% of which originate from the United States and 12%, interestingly enough, comes from the Middle East. Also, traffic spikes on my blog determine whether I’d be happy and functional throughout the day or end up skipping work, staying at home to play with this thing between my legs that looks like a cock, only smaller. Usually while watching new videos at iyottube.com)
I do have Web Analytics tags set up on my blog and, about a week ago, I noticed that I have a handful of visitors jumping in from The Philippine Blog Awards site. I noticed that someone* has nominated me for The Blogger’s Choice Award.
(*me)
The Philippine Web Awards isn’t exactly new to me. In fact, if you click this link, you’d know that April Last year, The Man Blog, a site I am co-founder of was a finalist for The Best Entertainment blog. In the end, we lost to a stupid blogger who writes about Pinoy Big Brother, something that resulted in me walking out of the RCBC amphitheater, the picture below being taken, and my place as the sorest loser this side of Asia being cemented in the annals of history after the aforementioned picture was used as the header for the Philippine Blog Awards website:
After the fact that I was, again, nominated in a category brimming with nominees I could so easily lose to*, my initial reaction was something to the effect of “Fuck all of you, my blog is the shiz! Who cares about your stupid award? Suck my balls! What’s the number to Yellowcab’s delivery service? I’m fucking starving here.”
(*not really. I mean ·´`·.¸.» j u l i a ·´`·.¸.» Seriously? Come on. Am I missing something here?)
Days passed and I forgot about the entire thing until I noticed more traffic coming in from the Philippine Blog Awards site–again because I was nominated for the “Blogger’s Choice Award”, at this point, I thought to myself “Shit! I have to win this award. I’ve never really won anything after I won the spelling bee back in grade school. The award sounds like something they’d serve over at Shakey’s so that’s cool. Besides, there might be a prize associated with it. I’m hoping it’s bag of anti-depressants because I’m going crazy here and I need to get high off of something and I can’t afford to see my shrink and ask her to write me xanax scripts.”
Then, I realized that, maybe besides a shiny trophy, winners get nothing. It’s not like I’m not used to getting nothing though. In fact, in last year’s TMB Christmas party, my friend Fritz gave everyone really cool gifts–somebody got an Axe, somebody got a vice grip; while I, got a huge box of nothing.
So I said, Fuck it; I would make no conscious effort to win this award because again, there is no prize involved. If winning this award means winning at least 500 pesos or Ever Bilena gift certificates, I’d be going door to door right now, prepared to offer you the best hand job you’ll ever get in your life in exchange for a vote and a link from your blog. I know, don’t tell me. It sucks for you that’s not the case here.
I did do a perfunctory review of some of the blogs I am up against which wasn’t such a good idea because now, I strongly feel that literacy, the Internet and blog-writing privileges should be limited to a small percentage of the population.
For instance, I read this post from a fellow nominee– a blog called Basta igat, sikat!:
I think I need psychotherapy or rehabilitation. Ha ha! But wait, let me try to justify things first. I have won 2 very exclusive pairs of Havaianas for the past 2 years. You see, every summer, Havaianas Philippines holds a contest. In 2007, I was one of the 50 winners and received the exclusive Take Us To The Nearest Beach pair. Then again, this year I was among the lucky 70 people to receive the limited edition Flipping for the Beach pair. These are among the highlights of my so-called Havaianas addiction.
Good God. Who the fuck reads this shit? Seriously people, at what point in your lives are you that you get entertainment in someone writing about Flip Flops, a footwear fetish or whatever? Am I missing something here? Please tell me.
I know you guys are probably tired about me talking about how depressed I am or how I masturbate as I cry while I watch a 240×300 porn video window on my laptop, but flip flops? God bless you all.
Anyway, if anything good came out of this little nomination it has to be the fact that a lot of people still appreciate my writing and blogging as an art in general.
There’s a shitload of you who actually voted for me. I mean besides my friends whom I know are just setting me up so that they could watch me crash and burn but man, I am genuinely touched by the number of votes I’ve gotten so far. Let’s not forget that this is after I did some terrible things to some of these people:
Lauren’s Vote For Mike Villar

Wow. I seriously don’t know what to say. But let me leave you with something profound: I may not be rich. But if you look at the friends you have as money, then I am the richest man in the planet. And I shall buy a red couch, those fishbowl thingers they fill up with iced tea over at Jack’s loft and maybe an HD TV and a Dakota Fanning poster. And I will pay with friend dollars.
Thank you.
My impression is that we haven’t had lot of successes in the blogging world, even though we use English practically as a first language. We have Internet marketing professionals and a ton of bloggers working for foreign-owned sites but very few successful Philippine-owned blogs. I only partly own my blogs but I got to say they are without exception managed by a Filipino. Now, I will probably not stay a blogger for far too long. I say I’d give it another year. I hate the fact that mainstream advertisers pinch their noses whenever one says “blog.” We are not helping matters by doing borderline scammy things like pay-per-post. There’s a controversial post in Market Manila about this.
The question is: how do we make blogs a more legitimate medium for advertising? I’m sure if we can, many here would want to live off of their blog writing. Is it just the smallness of the traffic? Traffic, anyway, that is composed mostly of the same people (friends, family and other familiars) visiting the blog every day. Is blogging just the technological extension of the old grapevine.
BTW, what do you think of Federated Media?
I mean, since you’re all such great blogging experts.
Btw, which of your blog sites actually earn decent money?
WUT? Hindi pa rin tapos to?
I have owned and maintained only 2 long standing blogs, my all too neglected personal blog and The Man Blog which I co-own with Mikey. Both of them don’t earn money. The reason behind that is simple. I don’t need to monetize it because my other revenue streams provide for me well enough. Let’s not talk about specifics though because I really don’t want to make you any more insecure than you already are.
Here’s the thing though, if I had to or wanted to, I’d have little problem setting up a blog to make money. Neither would Mikey, nor most of the people who already commented here. So why is that suddenly an issue with you?
You’re floundering BrianB. It seems you’re desperately looking for any foothold to regain some manner of respectability and you are now brandishing what you believe to be your “blogging kung-fu.” That’s really quite pathetic. Then again, that doesn’t really surprise me anymore.
# Brian ‘The Amazing, ratfaced, goat-fucking, non-haver of sex’ Goiter boy on December 2nd, 2008 2:17 am
Rickeythehorsey,
Pinaupo ka ng NBI pinatahimik, umupo ka rin at tumahimik.
And parang kinampihan mo pa sila, you’re wishing they gun whipped me?
Oh my God, are you really like this people? Though I may not like Mikey and many of you here I still have a little respect for ALL of you. Are you seriously considering accepting the allegiance of someone who doesn’t budge against police abuse?
Whoever you are rickeythehorsey, you’re attitude disgusts me. It wasn’t the first time I was harassed by law enforcement, tbqh. He he, small time lang mga yun kumpara sa nakalaban ko nung una. Ba’t naman ako uurong sa hindi tamang detention? Problema mo kasi apihin ka.
@BrianB
Wala akong pake kung di mo gusto attitude ko di naman kita nililigawan para magpakabait ako. Putang ina mo na lang masasabi ko. Wala naman magagawa yung lawyer mo. Sa NBI ipis ka lang. At mukha ka naman talagang IPIS. Eto na lang sana inisip mo. Di kailangan ni DEEPAK yun LAWYER mo kasi mas magagaling ang LAWYER nya. Tandaan mo may warrant sila kaya dapat sumunod ka na lang. Tanga ka din kasi asa ka sa LAWYER mo na isa din tanga.
PUTANG INA KA BRIAN B!
PUTANG INA KA BRIAN B!
PUTANG INA KA BRIAN B!
PUTANG INA KA BRIAN B!
PUTANG INA KA BRIAN B!
PUTANG INA KA BRIAN B!
Ano kaya makakaso mo sa akin? Cge tawag na sa LAWYER mo!
BrianB. B as in BOBO. You think you can afford a lawyer with your $5/hr-gig? HAHA.
Choose your battles, dude. You will never win this.
LOL
brianb, baka kasi makatulong kung makausap mo yung ibang tao sa local blogosphere offline.. ok ka ring gawing case study for personal ORM
marc,
miss na kita bro!
before you said you’re having sleepless nights because of this. now you’re saying you usually sleep at 7am? ang labo mo dude! ano sabi mo? loss of sleep? kamusta naman ang consistency naman diyan yo!
Helga,if you use Jaypen one more time, I’LL SUE-HUHUHUHUHUHU!!! Wait. Lawyer’s asleep pa eh.
“I was hurt when your pal Marc maluha suggested I might have just been wanting to join the blogger’s society he inhabits. Hurt, the you think I’m a pretty pathetic blogger, though I have managed several blogs already and weaned them from almost 0 traffic to above 100k in alexa. This I did without the help of the Philippine blogging community. So, Marc, you think I need your inputs?”
I don’t see you as pathetic yet, I just think you need more offline blogger interactions since it might do wonders for your personal ORM initiatives… and who knows maybe that would also help your alexa rank!
abe how are you related to brianb?
jayveef! popcorn pa jan!
Maybe because of this? A couple more out of the Blog Barn
Marc and Jayvee, akong bahala sa drinks!
I was trolling the lowly and frowned upon recesses of the net (the abyss where animated gifs and blinkies still exist with tables) I caught a funky whiff, characteristically that of a loser. I followed the scent and, whuddja know, it led me here!!
600+ comments. This is beyond epic.
For the last two days, I haven’t insulted anyone or used profanities but the vicious attack continuous.
This proves one thing: this is not just mere sarcasm anymore, as several of you pointed out. This is not just an exchange of playground insults. What this is is a determined effort from some of you here to ruin someone. Outsider. Aren’t you all outsiders.
Marc. If you bother to read most of the comments. I was only trying to avoid a lawsuit. You guys have no idea about who I am, no idea at all. The thing is, though you don’t know my character, you know my NAME and you have been using it in your insults. For the LAST TWO days I have NOT been playing but you have continued these attacks. Do you understand what I am getting at?
And I have even tried being friendly, you know, extend a peaceable hand (without necessarily raising a white flag, which I bet would just draw more attacks) in case you have not noticed. At least that’s what a neutral observer would say. And then there’s the scam email. Why few people go to jail for scam emails? Because they live in non-extradition countries or no one knows who they are.
I have been shaking my head for the last few days For people who have been on the blogosphere a while, you actually thought you could judge someone with a real name and a real personality based on his online comments, which is so naive. And what I cannot understand is the lack of clear-headedness. The profanities, insults, someone calling me schizo. Do you really think you can get away with it?
That’s not entirely accurate Brian
Sounds like an insult to me.
Sounds condescending doesn’t it? Definitely an insult.
Tapang tapang mo kala mo sino ka sabay ngayon aatras ka. Ulol.
This is ANOTHER opportunity to stop this once and for all.
That’s precisely what’s been bugging me in the last few hundred comments, most of which I did not bother to read because I have a severe case of ADD which, when triggered, would probably (with a very slim chance but still very much probable) knock me out of the 99th percentile rank (IQ wise). I tried, believe me, I did, but the edges of my monitor suddenly becomes more appealing each and every time. It beckons to be gazed at: its glossy finish and flawless symmetry. A remarkable specimen of top of the line engineering.
Going back.
Who. Are. You.
No reply needed. That wasn’t a question.
You’re going BrianB?? Waaaaiiittt!! Don’t Go yet!
I like how Brian treats Mike as if they’re sworn enemies destined to do battle.
And then everyone just laughs as Mike treats him as the annoying whiny kid that he is.
Great lulz, gentlemen. Good job team internet.
4 letters — STFU.
Thanks.
What amazes my Brian is your audacity and stupidity to come here to MIKEY’S BLOG try to “impress” us with your pathetic attempt at sarcasm. Now that it fucking backfired on you tenfold, you realize how deep you have your head inside your ass and lamely shift the topic thinking that we’d bite and forget how much of an asshole you are.
You want to stop this? GET THE FUCK OUT OF THIS BLOG BECAUSE YOU DON’T BELONG HERE. YOU SHOULDN’T HAVE BEEN HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE AND YOU HAVE NO RIGHT CLAIMING YOU’RE THE VICTIM BECAUSE YOU GOT WHAT YOU DESERVE BY BEING A FUCKING ASSHOLE THINKING YOU CAN IMPRESS US WITH YOUR PATHETIC ATTEMPT AT BEING WITTY.
I, too, am extending an opportunity for this to stop once and for all.
Brian, I need you to…
Suck my cock, and beg.
Also:
Team Internet! (FUCK YEAH!)
After all that’s been said, I still can’t get over that Olsen Racela comment. I was thinking more along the lines of Hubert Webb, but Mikey deserves a goddamned trophy for “Olsen Racela look-alike na mukhang dagang may Lupus.”
LOL HUBERT WEBB FTW!
And, let me repeat:
The time ANY OF US goes to jail, is the time you’ll see a real vagina and, for once, maybe have sex with something besides an inanimate object.
LOL HUBERT WEBB – Where the fuck have you been through all of this cockles?
RJ, I laughed so loud at “Team Internet”.
Carry on.
Mikey, sorry, life was getting in the way. Stupid life and its lifey ways.
Anyway, in all seriou— HYUBSSSS http://i38.tinypic.com/2rzvt6t.gif
Six hundred forty-sixth!
Dear Mikey,
I LOVE YOUR BLOG!!!!!
It always makes my @#@%#$#@$# $%!#$@#@$#$ day happier 10000000000000000000000000x times!!!!
xoxo
Euri
Guys, is it possible to be one’s own cousin? (Think about it, in-breeding, etc., until the hierarchy folds upon itself, and you end up, i dunno, by being your own cousin)
It would explain certain… physical *assymetries* and certain mental disturbances often associated with in-breeding (being retarded is one, the most obvious)
hahahaha! nakakatawa naman si brianb! wala lang… haba na nito ah! hahahahaha
he’s gone?
NO IT CAN’T BE.
He’s at Gold’s gym preparing to sue us all! The sky is falling! Help!
Brian B is one of the well established Filipino writers around. One of the greatest mind I’ve ever known. He is a reputable ghost writer INTERNATIONALLY. Believe me he won’t blink an eye to sue you Mike and he can fucking afford it. Not only does his pocket runs deep but he is politically connected. Don’t be fooled by what he says or what you see.
Everyone you can laugh all you want about BrianB in the end BrianB will have the last laugh… Cheers BrianB

Thanks, article written ochentochno. In other words, and not say.
Very professional highly trained written article. Thanks to the creators for a good site.
