In support of the You Got Blogged Contest of Digital Filipino and Mindanao Bloggers, I am launching my very own Review Queen Ria's Blogs Campaign. I currently have eleven (that's ten plus one) blogs listed in the Mindanao Bloggers Directory. Reviewing one of these eleven blogs will qualify you to win US$150, US$100, or US$50. How you ask??? Just review one of my blogs with 300 to 400 words in your own blog. Actually, each participant can review a maximum of five blogs. You can review five of my eleven blogs. So what are these blogs?

Not DS: Where DotA Addicts Talk About Everything Except DotA
From the team that brought you DotA Strategy, Alleba presents Not DS! If The Practice has Boston Legal, and Grey's Anatomy has Private Practice... DotA Strategy now has Not DS. Simply put, Not DS is the spin-off forum of DotA Strategy. In these forums, the number one rule is "Don't talk about DotA!" Right now, it is divided into four main subsections: Forums, Games, Entertainment and Leisure, and General Discussions. Under Forums, new members are welcomed and comments and suggestions are solicited. The Games subsection, members talk about PC games, Playstation Games, and Handheld Games. My favorite subsection is Entertainment and Leisure where we talk about television, movies, sports, music, books, and toys. There's also a section for anime and manga which I don't really frequent yet. Under General Discussions people talk about nature (hmmm...), cooking, technology, current events, role playing (?!), and other random stuff. And of course there's also a section here about love and relationships. YIHEEE! So if you're bored and is a forum whore like me, why not make your life geekier by dropping by Not DS. This is, of course, not exclusive to DotA Addicts.
Nakakahiya…
I was quietly blogging and blogging at a local cafe (with free Wifi of course) until I read The Green Grin's How to make friends entry and started laughing uncontrollably. Please follow the link. It's really worth your while. FROMIZ!

Blogging in Vietnam and Davao City
In Vietnam, young bloggers are starting a revolution. Bloggers are giving new meaning to journalism... pushing aside the state-run media and giving the Vietnamese new sources of news and information. Meanwhile, here in Davao City, SunStar columnist Dorothy Bangayan did a piece on blogging and blogs focusing on Davao-based blogs. And I'm happy to note that two of my six blogs were mentioned as worthy of being read... MyDavaoCity.com -- This is also another Davao City blog posted by a group of bloggers. It also got a list of small directory going for wifi hotspots and resorts although not yet completely updated. www.shopchicks.com -- The blogger is a fashionista and it shows with posts of the latest styles. This one takes on a new definition of window shopping. My name wasn't mentioned but I don't care. Hehe... Other blogs mentioned were Ang Dabawenyo, Word God Spells, Davao's Food Huntress, Letters to Mikee, Davao Diaries, Mom About Town, Dabawenya, and Jobs For Davao. The article also mentioned the Davao Blogs Aggregator Site, the Mindanao Bloggers Blog, and the upcoming Mindanao Bloggers' Summit. The article actually made me think about making my own top Davao Blogs. Hmmm... might post one soon.
Davao Gamers Blog
Yes. I know... I'm addicted and there's no point in denying in. Hi! I'm Ria and I'm a DoTA Addict! So what do I do when I'm addicted to something??? I make a blog about it. LOL! Introducing... Ria At Play! Chachaaan! My goal is actually to make it a community blog for local gamers. But since no one has expressed interest in joining me, it's just going to be me for now. So bear with me while I obssess about DoTA, tournaments, heroes, items, line ups, teams, match-ups and other related things and events. If you're a gamer based in Davao City and you wish to join me in this endeavor, contact me. ;)
