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.
The boy in the picture is my eldest son.

A client of mine wants to register a domain for their bike tour project. Good thing the domain is still available and I was able to snagged the promo.
Actually, I renewed my 4 other domains first, which were all registered on GoDaddy, and was searching for the right coupons.

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
Busy As A Bee Again
After arriving from our 10-day vacation, I saw myself running to and fro from all sorts of activities.
We arrived slightly right after midnight of Saturday and just less than 2 hours of sleep later on, I ran with my wife and son for the 5KM race of Adidas King of the Road. It was supposed to be a race but it turned out to be a fun run for all of us because we ran following our son’s phase.
Last Tuesday, my wife and I watched the concert of Black Eyed Peas. I almost lost my voice in singing and shouting with the crowds. From a quiet blogger, I was converted into a party animal in just few hours. It’s was also my wife’s birthday so the concert was sort of a treat for her. We both enjoyed the concerts together with some of our friends.
And last night, Wednesday, my whole family rushed to Alaminos, Pangasinan (250KM from Manila) to attend to our friend’s wake. He died Read more
