Have you heard this?
I sure bet you have!

No offense meant to E=MC2 and to all her fans, because I think that David Cook’s version is better than the original. Believe it or not, I’ve been listening to this song for about 2 hours now!

I’ve stopped watching American Idol since Season 4 but I’ll watch the finals of this season. And I want David Cook to win. No offense meant Archuleta fans.

So who’s your bet: David or David?

I’m so going to have a headache right now. I just finished the manga version of Paradise Kiss and I’m pretty disappointed with the ending. I can’t believe that I sacrificed my time in watching Naruto just to finish this manga.

Actually, the manga is really a great read. It’s innovative since it does not have the old-fashioned logic. By the way, this falls under the Drama/Romance category. Sadly, I’m not open to innovation when it comes to Drama especially in Romance. Yes, I’m still a big sucker for fairytale endings. Whenever I read something that has a little bit of romance in it, I am always hoping that the prince and the princess would find their way back into each others’ arms no matter how powerful the witch is. Other than that, I am always driven to what I’m reading that’s why I always get frustrated whenever the turn of events didn’t go my way. I know it’s not something to brag about; but, isn’t it that it’s not something to be embarrassed of? I am like this ever since I was a little girl. I guess this is the effect of watching Disney’s Cinderella every day before I go to school. The logic that whenever there’s a princess, there will always be a prince who will fight for her.

It sounds silly and I admit that it really is. But do you know what’s the silliest part? I’m not an ounce romantic in reality. Not only that but I also hate girls who are pretending to be damsels in distress. In reality, I’m like that but whenever I’m reading a good romance material, my perspectives always change.

I don’t know if I’m being hypocrite this way, or even a poser. I don’t know… and I don’t care. All I know is I’ve lived with that kind of intuition since I was a kid.

Ang weird no? (translation: Isn’t it weird?)

Nga pala (translation: By the way), I have an award from nika.

Ang sweet ano! (translation: isn’t it sweet?) Anyway, I’m passing this award to: Mina, Kat, Sherica, Claire and Ate Ems.

That’s it for now. I’ll blog hop tomorrow. I’ll rest my eyes for the mean time. I’ve been reading for how many hours straight.

If you’re from the Philippines, then you probably know where this can be found. For the sake of my other visitors, the scene in the picture is taken on the bridge of the biggest mall in my country (or probably the biggest in asia), the SM Mall of Asia. The reason why I have posted that picture is because I am really curious why there are a lot of couples who always display intimate affections in public places to their loves ones. And whenever I go to the overlooking bridge in MOA, I always see couples kissing and hugging or probably even touching each other. I totally respect the idea of ‘intimacy’ between couples but the thing that I do not understand is: why do they have to show those intimate affections in public places? Where’s the intimacy there?

Please do not get the wrong idea, I am not someone from the past who’s able to barge into existence in the new millennium. It’s just that it totally pisses me off because they’re showing their affections in the wrong place and, probably, at the wrong time. If they really want to touch, kiss and hug each other, why not rent a room? Come to think of it, motels are really cheap especially if it is located in a third world country like the Philippines.

The case of the diminishing and vanishing page rank is still on the loose and everyone’s blaming Google for it. Why? Because the so-called hard earned ranks dropped or diminished; and because of this, a lot of webmasters are no longer receiving link assignments from different monetizing programs on the net. Then, they’re all pointing their fingers to Google and the rest follows.

I am not protecting Google, it’s just that I realized something after reading the whole Webmaster Guidelines they have presented.

It’s true that Google is being unfair to us, but we never find time to think of it the other way around. And the thing that Google detests is not sponsored posts but the rel=”dofollow” links. Because links as such affects page rank and link popularity of a certain site. Google thinks that it’s unfair to sell and buy rel=”dofollow” links because a lot of people are working hard just to gain it. So the next time you do a paid post, remember to embed the rel=”nofollow on the link.

If you’re interested to know more about this, I suggest that you read the following articles:

Ezrich is really a nice guy. He thought me a lot of things regarding this whole Page Rank fiasco. But we have different point of views regarding this, hence, I still respect him and I still find his articles helpful.

Note: I’ll allow comments on this entry but please do not post comments that are not related. Do not even dare to post a comment if you have not read the whole article. If you appreciate my hard work on this piece, then why not leave a tag? Or even answer my random question on the post below this. That would definitely put a smile on my face.

PS: If you have questions, queries or clarifications, I suggest that you ask Ezrich. He’s more knowledgeable and more experienced when it comes to this.

While I was eating my dinner last night, I overheard the news from the adjacent room. The room is about how the Filipino middle class people discuss the current situation of the country. The news anchor even emphasized that the silent middle class finally has time to discuss things, especially political issues. And according to them, the means of communication is blogging. There are lot of reasons why blogging has been chosen and the first among those is: it’s open not only to Filipinos inside the Philippines but also to Filipinos outside the country, and also to other nationalities. The world of information and technology is vast and so are the audiences that can partake in the discussion.

When I heard this, I felt scared and I realized that my entries are read not only by my visitors and “commentors”, because my entries can be read by everyone. It may sound a bit foolish, but when I started blogging, I never realized those things. I never thought that I’ll be sharing the glints and the hints of my life to the whole world. But it doesn’t matter, blogging is one of things that I enjoy so no matter how many regrets that I’ve had upon hearing the aforementioned news, I won’t stop blogging and no one can stop me from doing it.
