Offline Time
We all know that there are three things that we can’t get back…
…a spoken word
… a missed opportunity
… a spent time
I’ve been meditating for the past weeks already and contemplating on what to do on my “online job” for this year 2012. I’ve been thinking too much about it to the point I’m on the verge of missing what is my plan for my “offline life”. Another year had passed and all of us will add another number in our age. Time is something we will never get back, ever.
If there is one thing you are careful about in your life, I hope it is your time. Spending time with my family is one of the topmost on my priority list. And, I’d promised my family that I’ll be spending more time with them not only for this year but all the time. A promise which I’m praying that I can keep for the rest of my life.
So I also encourage you dear readers, don’t get so caught up in the online world that you forget about the people you love the most. Spend time with them and show those that matter to you that you care.

Plan a great bonding time with your loved ones. Play, watch, dine and laugh together!
It’s so easy today to be on top of the world one minute, and right back at the bottom the next. Never take one second of success for granted. Say “I love you” to each other. This will surely mark a big milestones in your relationships. Don’t let any obstacles cut-off your communication with your family or even your close friends.
If you love someone today, tell them. If there is something you need to change in your life today, start doing it now.
If you have noticed that I seldom post, it’s because I’m spending a lot of my “offline time” with my love ones.
Time is something you will never, ever get back.
My Winning Photo
For the past 5 Sundays, I was busy attending a photography workshop here in our province. I’d actually kept it secret even to my close friends but the words spread out like fire when my wife posted a status congratulating me for winning 5th place in our workshop contest for the Human Activity category. I’m actually proud of my achievement, if you can call it an achievement already, since I’m just an amateur photographer.
Here’s my winning photo.

How To Recover Your Lost Published Posts Or Even The Whole Blog
I admit it. I sucked, and I failed big.
It’s hard to accept the fact that someone like me who is a preacher of backing up data lost collectively more than a hundred posts. It’s one of the niche site where I am the administrator. The owner of the site just shook his head in an unbelief. I explained to him what happened and I’m not blaming anybody but me. We cannot sue the web host provider because it’s on their terms and conditions that they are not obligated to backup the data. We cannot request even just a partial backup from them because they too lost everything.
Let’s me state the hard fact, it is our responsibility as an admin or blogger to backup our own blog! Don’t rely on our web host provider.
But, just like what the title of my post today, I was able to recover everything Read more
Are Meta Keywords Dead?
I just came back from a long weekend holiday, again. I did not check my emails during the vacation because I wanted to dedicate my whole time to my family.
When we arrived home last night, I’d checked my emails and one subject line, “Are Meta Keywords Dead”?, caught my attention. I thought it was a spam since it was Halloween the previous day. However, the email that I received came from a fellow blogger, who is starting to tweak her blog for search engine optimization purposes. Additionally, she asked me how important meta keywords are and if they are still relevant since most of the websites and blogs are still using it.
In September 2009, Google announced that they don’t use meta keywords tag anymore in their web search. Barely, less than a month Yahoo announced Read more
