A blog that focuses and discusses about pastimes and hobbies. It is the thing you do on your spare time and it may or may not be competitive. It could be about hiking a mountain or stitching a quilt. It could even be stamp collecting or keeping fishes called Green Terrors. It is something you enjoy doing in your spare time and not covered by the other categories. For example, a blog about basketball belongs to the Sports category but a blog about collecting basketball trading cards belongs to the Hobby/Recreation category.

Dear Friends,
Due to recent feedback, the PBA has decided to make the voting process easier for the Bloggers Choice Award:
To make the voting process easier for bloggers, we’ve updated the Bloggers Choice nomination process.
After writing your BLOGGER CHOICE nomination post, it is completely optional if you wish to post the links of the sponsors using the generated form. You may also wish to use a rel="nofollow" tag as well. Afterward, please submit the entry to the designated form.
We need you to post the nominations on your blog because it is the easiest way to track and confirm if the vote comes from a bona fide blogger - whether the blog is self-hosted or hosted on services like Blogspot, Multiply, etc.
Sincerely,
The PBA 2008 Team 
And the nominees are…
But hang on a sec. This year’s voting is quite different from last year’s. In order for us to accurately tally the bloggers who voted, we jazzed up the voting a bit and made it more exciting.
To vote, you MUST be a Filipino blogger, which means, you need to own a blog. You might be blogging on Blogger, Wordpress.Com, Live Journal, Friendster, Multiply, or on a self-hosted blog—it doesn’t matter—the point is, you need to have a blog to vote. Your blog must be established at least three (3) months from today with a minimum of 10 posts.
Why? Well, read on for the instructions on how to vote for your favorite Bloggers’ Choice Award nominee!
Once you have submitted your vote post URL, wait for the confirmation from one of our committee members. Please be patient, we will manually go through each and every vote post to make sure it’s valid.
So what will you get out of this? Well, aside from the fact that you will make your favorite blogger happy, a valid Bloggers Choice Award vote entitles you one (1) raffle entry.
ONE BLOGGER = ONE VOTE = ONE RAFFLE ENTRY
Prizes? Stay tuned
