I was nominated by Renevic of Mandaragat. Mamumundok. Lagalag. to take part in My 7 Links Project of Tripbase. This project aims “to unite bloggers in a joint endeavor to share lessons learned and create a bank of long but not forgotten blog posts that deserve to see the light of day again.” Here are my 7 links:
MOST BEAUTIFUL POST - I've Fallen In Love with Aurora
Aurora province doesn't just have awesome natural wonders, it also has wonderful people and offers endless adventurous activities. That's why I quickly have fallen in love with the beauty and the warm people of Aurora province.
MOST POPULAR POST - Mt. Pulag National Park - How To Get There
As a mountaineer, climbing Mt. Pulag is one of my dream climbs. I haven't climb it yet, but this post has been drawing too many traffic to my site. It has been a reader's favorite since I posted it last November 2010.
MOST CONTROVERSIAL POST - Ciudad Christhia Resort 9 Waves, San Mateo Rizal
I don't really do reviews, but this incident definitely deserves my opinion. My readers ought to know our experience. This is not to discredit the resort but to serve as a wake up call for them (hopefully...).
MOST HELPFUL POST - Pahiyas Festival 2011 in Lucban Quezon
With more than 4,000 page views, it has been my readers' favorite for the past 3 months. It gives a brief background about the festival, as well as tips on side trips and how to get there.
A POST WHOSE SUCCESS SURPRISED ME - Western Laguna Road Trip
This is the post with an overwhelming number of FB likes at 928, and counting. I never expected it, thanks to all who liked our road trip.
A POST THAT I FEEL DIDN’T GET THE ATTENTION IT DESERVED - Amazing Sablayan!
A trip to the land of "Mangyans and Tamaraws", Occidental Mindoro really has a lot to offer. It is so underrated and not a usual tourist destination. I believe that Sablayan in particular deserves to be in the tourism map along side with other famous tourist destinations in our country.
THE POST THAT I AM MOST PROUD OF - Solo Trip to Legazpi City and Daraga Albay
The trip that started it all. Armed with just a plane ticket, a backpack and a camera, I went on my very first solo trip. Now, I'm proud that I went out of my comfort zone and started to do solo trips!
Now, I wish to pass on this project to fellow bloggers:
Brian of Meet the X-plorers
Teng of Teng Turista
Nathalie of chronicles of my wandering soles
Gepay of Ang babaeng Lakwatsera
Dr Wends of Journeys and Travels
Hope to read your 7 links too! :)
some stats still amaze me, like you, nagugulat din ako minsan sa mga gusto at fave ng readers ko. i never expected that my trip to romblon would end up as the most fave post kasi mas marami pa akong gusto sa mga narating ko pero di naman masyado nag-rate hehe.
ReplyDeletekeep on blogging man and see u in some other trips :)

ReplyDeletenapabisita ako dun sa controversial post. buti at napost mo yung good at bad side.
ReplyDeletei remember the sablayan post.
Love this idea for Pinoy travel blogs. Reading everyone's 7 links now :)
ReplyDeleteI agree Mervs, I think your Sablayan post deserves more attention and should be included among the "must-visit" places in our country.
ReplyDelete@lawstude - yeah, minsan yung mga posts na hindi ko masyadong ineffortan would end up the most visited../hehehe! I think, dahil punong puno ng keywords Laguna Road trip na post ko kaya well searched cya kaya umabot na sa 900 FB likes... hehehe!!!
