I’ve been pondering about a few thoughts in the past few days, especially regarding the appreciation of the Philippine Peso over the US dollar. The Local currency has been appreciating over the us dollar for almost a year now, and so are the necessities.
I understand that most Filipinos should be happy about the Peso increase, but to me it’s quite a little different. Instead of being happy for the Philippines, I feel that I am getting less due to this increase.
When thinking about the OCW’s, They may also think the same way as I do, since the money they will be sending to the Philippines will be much lower than what they can send few months ago. We’ll although i’m not an OFW/ OCW myself.
I can’t actually see any reason for me as a civilian to be happy about. Fares’ increasing, Necessities increasing but the money I am earning is growing smaller as the Philippine Peso increases. 
I know employees who actually recieve salaries in the local curreny does not feel the same way as I do, but how about those people who are like me. What do you think?
Although of course I still thankfull for having a good source of income, thanks to the Internet, and the people that supports it, and thanks to God for everything that I still have.
I was in vacation for the last few weeks and noticed that I can’t send emails using outlook express through my smart bro connection, but when sending emails via webmails they are being sent. Although I can receive emails… At first I think there was just few issues on my notebook, but when I went back to the office things are normal.
So I think Smart Bro blocks the SMTP port….
You might have spent hours trying to optimize your website to make sure it is highly searchable, and crawlable by engines. Spent more hours and hours making that CSS page work, and got your self a good design layout, and validation stuff. Now you wanted your site to be on top of the engines. Will your website rank well, you might ask?
Now there are a couple of things you might do to make sure you rank on the engines and at least stay on the first page of the SERPS!
1. Put your site on a relevant site that has already been crawled by the engines. Relevant? yes it must be, and as most of you knew, this is to make sure you are in a way which won’t hurt your search engine rankings in the future.
2. Submit your site to as many web directories as possible. Most web directories have pages that are designed to make sure you site fit on that page, make sure you select the most appropriate category for your site and not simply adding a link elsewhere. Choose the best directories possible, pick the most trusted directories such as dmoz, yahoo etc. sometimes it really pays off spending sometime or a few bucks for inclusion on these directories.
3. Create articles, and submit it to good article directories. These articles are being picked up by most webmasters to have some content on their websites. make sure you also have a good link to your website or else are in no way earning anything from that article you have just submitted.
4. Ask some website owners to link with you. It might be time consuming but it’s worth the time. Most webmasters would ask you to have a reciprocal link from your site to their site if they have agreed to your request. Make sure you play with them fairly, cheating them might put you in a bad section, and they might not entertain any of your requests ever again in the future.
5. Create several anchor texts to use while building links. This is usefull to make sure your links are not being mistaken as a spam.
6. Socialize with your competitors and know what they are upto, they may or maynot tell you but doing so will give you hints and ideas for your own use.
I have created a small web directory on one of the sites I am currently optimizing called the clickpond web directory. This directory have quite several categories that will surely fit your site. Go on and add your link to it, linking is Free, though you need to place a reciprocal link to my site.
Lastly, make sure you won’t overdo your link building, in my case i add around 20 - 30 linkbacks per day to make sure the engines would not think i am spamming. Creating too much inbound links to your site might harm you also so be careful.
I’ve been long planning to subscribe to a local internet connection in Baguio where i stay during weekdays so I can access my job even at home. So I asked my wife to find a good option for us. The cheapest way to go for now is SmartBro Broadband. giving us 999 pesos per month on a promising 7 times faster than dialup. (or just another marketing pitch!).
It is also my sole purpose to have a daily (cheaper) communication medium to my family. Thinking it would be of ease, not just another head ache (:D)
I’m a little excited and worried at the sametime. I’m excited cause I will soon have an internet connection at home, but worried that I might experience the same problem as other subscribers are experiencing on the same service. Some even call it SmartBroken? lol that was funny… I hope I am not really going to post several rants against the service on the newly installed blog. hopefully. so Smartbro, make me proud!
Tomorrow I will know the details, and starting saturday i will be able to try it out myself wether or not smartbro really is a solution or a pest.

I went out on a scheduled meet up with a Balaihara Villatel buyer yesterday, though sleepless and tired, still was able to pull myself together and went ahead at starbucks shangrila plaza.
I arrived 15 minutes before the scheduled time, unfortunately few minutes later, I recieved an sms message that the client will not be able to make it since he has rush himself to an emergency meeting. So I decided to get myself a cup of mocha frappuccino and wait for a friend, who will tour me up the model units of Balaihara Newcoast Villatel located in MC Depot, The Fort.
I waited for almost 2 hours waiting in starbucks and was able to consume 2 more orders of Frap. Eventhough I wanted to go home for being so sleepy and exhusted, i still managed the wait that long until my friend arrives who told me that she was waiting on Starbucks rustans branch and forgotting her mobile at home (was that a sound excuse?). Anyway, I never was in a bad mood, I wanted to see the model units anyway.
So we made our way and was surprised on the clean designs I saw at the Showroom, “I finally got myself an Idea how to design my room in Baguio. LOL, Our room in baguio was bare since we are currently in the process of constructing our house there.
Now that was a good start, Although I realized that I cannot rely on other people specially when having some deal like these, It was really a blessing for me, since the buyer needs to go to a meeting, If not, I would have lost a client.
Was planning to join in the seo competition called ituloy angsulong, but there were quite a lot of projects coming in right now, must have been a blessing for me cause my team and I were a little worried the past months a having fairly less low incoming projects.
So instead of leaving the SEO Contest, i will just create this post for the mean time while it gathers some reason for me to continue on. Hopefully i can spend time to it before the contest ends on February 2007.
Anyway, I also have another entry at ituloy angsulong blog but it’s unlikely to be updated until i get freed up from projects.
We are about to create a new social networking brand, hopefully this will come into success, unlike the first we did last 2004 which only got a few hundred of subscribers until it died out. Really felt bad knowing your project failed.
Anyway, Good Luck to all ituloy angsulong Participants out there, i’ll join you on this fun on soon!
