Then last year, it was my newly born lifestyle blog, The Lifestyle Portal which took the No. 1 spot on my list.

I Missed This Event!

So sad that I missed this event:

It's already three months ago before I learned that there is a Bloggers Night sponsored by Kenny Rogers Roaster. The even is called "Kenny's Bloggers Night."

This event is a gathering of all the active bloggers around the net. Of course there were free foods and meals offered by the restaurant. But the big event was that, the hottest AZKALS brothers Phil and James Younghusband were there!

Yup, Phil and James were the special guests of the event since they were the newest endorsers of this restaurant! And they will share their insights via interviews. They were free for questions and answers and of course for picture taking! "Sayang"!

Hayz...too late to know! When I surf the net, I saw many blogs featuring this event. And I saw many bloggers having their picture takings with Angel Locsin's rumored boyfriend Phil Younghusband!

"Sayang talaga...!" "Sana ngayon I have pictures with the AZKALS heartthrobs na ipagyayabang...!!!" Hopefully there's more next time! Hoping...!!! c",)

The New Design of My Blog Network!

It's definitely a league of all my blog sites! Collectively speaking, all my blog sites can now be called as "The Rock's Blog Network"! And I created a design or logo for my blog network!

Yup, that is my latest new design for the collection of all my blogs. As you can see, just like a network, they were interconnected by a central letter "R"! Do you know why?

That only means that all those blogs were made, designed, and popularized by yours truly, Rock! Seven blogs having different genres were created by only one person who is Rocky, a name starting with a capital R!

As you can see, the design is very simple emphasizing all my seven blogs. Each blogs were represented by their own logos. The Rock Land, Rhythm of the Rock, TV Series Craze, Boards and Mags, TECHkyrocky, Rockz Cafe, and The Rock's Literary Collection comprise "The Rock's Blog Network"!

But actually they were not only seven blogs in all! Honestly I have nine blogs in all! If you will notice, I did not include my A(H1N1) blog which I created for our company last year. It's because I didn't anymore update that said blog site. And of course, I did not include my sexy, daring blog! Haha! It is written under a particular pen name!

What can you say about my new design, do you like it?! You are free to give your thoughts and opinions! Though it's very simply, it's meaningful! C",)

The Rock's Web Community

Have you already visited these sites? Or are you one of my hundred followers and fanatics?!

Since my blog sites were really growing and became a huge hit on the internet, I've just created an artwork logo showing all my blogsites. And this how it looks like!

Now collectively speaking all my blog sites could now be called as "The Rock's Web Community"!

All your favorite genres were all here. From personal, humor, music, TV series, gadgets, Cafe World, literary, etc., all will serve you!

You can visit them all and be a fan! =)

Actually you can find this design layout in my Twitter account. Yup, you may also visit my twitter account to see the updates in all these sites!

So have fun and enjoy this brand new Rock's Web Community! See yah...! C",)

History of the Blogs Chapter 6: "The Craze for TV Series"

Welcome back to our month-long history of the Rocky's blog special. You already knew the four blog sites of me namely "Bits of Rocks", "The Rock Land", "Rhythm of the Rock", and "The Rock's Literay Collection". Now, let's get to know the most visited and everybody's favorite TV blog site!

TV is always a part of every Filipino. Without it, our lives will be boring and meaningless. And among the variety of TV programs, Soap Opera, TV Series or the commonly known as "teleserye" is the all-time favorite of all the people around the globe specially Pinoy like us! Without teleserye, our day is incomplete!

The Official TV Series Craze Logo Poster

Honestly speaking, I admit that I was a very big fan of teleserye or telenovela. I used to grow with them. My life itself is a real life teleserye. Of course I am the bida, with a leading lady, and with kontrabida!

These things gave birth to the blog site now known as TV Series Craze! This one-year old blog site is now the most visited TV website to note. It is widely circulated around the net and garnered lots and lots of fans! Wow!

Let me tell you how this blog start from a humble beginning...

The Very First TV Series Craze Logo

TV Series Craze Logo Evolved A Little!

A Portion or a Small Version of the Current TV Series Logo

April 2009 is the month and year where all my blog sites rose! Day to day, more new blog sites were born. After the music and lyrics site Rhythm of the Rock became famous, here comes TV Series. As they always say, if there's a radio for music, well definitely there's a TV. That's why in April 17, 2009, TV Series Craze was born!

At first, I was planning to make a blog site for TV and movies. Yup, initially I want to combine them. That's why the very first title of this site was called "TV Series Plus Movies". Afterward, it was evolved to "TV Series with Movies Plus" then became "TV Series and Movies Craze". Even its URL varied!

Later I realized, why did not make a sole site for TV series?! Since TV series is a widely hit, why not gave them an exclusive site? Until finally, this site was called as "TV Series Craze"! And it's URL became finally as tvseriescraze.blogspot.com.

The Very First Post in TV Series Craze Site

Why craze?! Simply because everybody around the globe got crazy for TV Series. Without their craze for TV series, no network war, no evolution of soap opera, no Asianovela or Mexiconovela today, no more new faces of stars were born, and no Primetime Bida or Telebabad on TV! Everything today starts from a simple TV series!

This site not only gives information about TV series itself. There's news about the different TV series stars, latest showbiz news relating to TV Series, TV ratings, network war between the two giant networks, upcoming series, and uploaded episodes of your favorite TV series were all here! That is why the subtitle description of this site is called "Everything You Need To Know About Your Favorite TV Series" !

The very first post published in this site last April 17, 2009 was the Angel Locsin-Sam Milby remake of the Koreanovela "Only You" entitled 'Only You' - An Exciting Blend To Watch Out! From that first post, more and more new and exciting posts followed!

Now from day to day, new posts were published! My fans and followers in Facebook and Twitter eventually increased! From all my blog sites, TV Series Craze is the most viewed, most visited, and has the most number of fans! It also became the highest ranking site from the different site measurements! Great! =)

So, for the great success of TV Series Craze, I like to give back a word of thanks and appreciation! again and again, thank you very much my avid readers, fans, followers, and supporters! TV Series Craze can now be put inline with the other hit showbiz and TV websites! Awesome! =)

Just like in a TV series, let's continue the next chapter of the Rock's History of the Blogs! See yah...! c",)
