Search Engine Optimization

One aim that a blogger like me wants to achieve in the blogosphere is to have a high page rank. High page rank means more tasks for the paid to blog networks. This is also true to website’s owner especially if they are selling online – to be on top, accessible to anyone who is searching for a certain product or a keyword. When someone is searching using the search engine, the first top ten suggested website will be most likely to be browsed.

To be on the top, you must create a traffic -keep the world wide web buzzing around your site. Surely your site will be on the top suggested list.

There are many ways in creating traffic. One simple strategy applicable to blogger is to blog hop, exchange links, inviting everybody to leave comments and visit your site, etc. But his could be tedious. You’ll end up hopping and inviting visitors the whole day but you cannot rely if they’ll visit back.

Another way is through search engine optimization (SEO), the fastest way of creating quality traffic to a website. SEO considers how search engines work and what people are searching. It applies definite approach that is specific for your site that involves editing its content and codes to increase its relevance to exact keywords depending on your target readers.

Seo company has been growing vastly because of the internet marketing – the trend of selling, giving information, entertaining, and even earning online.

Online Review for LET

Although I mentioned already about my online review before but I’d like to reiterate it as tips or advice to those who will take the board exam for teachers this September. Especially to those who are working and reviewing at the same time.

I searched for an online review before but unfortunately it doesn’t work in my computer because of some plug-ins that are missing. But I didn’t stop there instead I used the resources I could get from the world wide web. Remember internet is very rich in knowledge/facts/resources. But you also have to be careful in picking reliable sites since some are from personal point of view; not based on facts, Scientific evidences, or principles. And you could possibly land into websites that are misleading.

Anyways, In my case, since I major mathematics, I looked for an online Math review. And found some sites that are interactive with their online Math tutor. I tried it once as trial for the online tutoring. It’s effective way of learning, at the same time it’s fun. I wasn’t able to continue the interactive way of learning because of the time constraints. Instead I browsed some sites with Math problem solver where I could find ways or approach in solving math problems.

With the online Math help I was able to used my time wisely. I spent my free hours at work for reviewing Math and spent two hours at night for professional education and general education.

But remember when you really aim to pass the exam you have to focus yourself in reviewing, forget about the facebook or other social networks. I know it’s tempting but it really takes a lot of discipline in your part. During my review I take a vacation outside blogosphere…. But I also sneaked…. You know blogging is addictive. LOL…

I hope this will help. Good Luck!!!

VOIP: Connecting People

We were elated when my sister announced to us that her visa for Canada was approved. Although letting go is hard for us but we all know it’s her dream. And we now, this means she’ll never stay with us for the rest of her life. That’s why my mom really cried hard on the day she left us.

The first month was hard for all of us, especially when she sends picture. But with all the technologies that are provided today, connecting with love ones is not difficult. I am lucky since I have an access in the internet. Our communication is constant through Yahoo messenger or Chikka. But of course it’s different when you hear each other’s voice. Thanks to those who created the VOIP – the cheapest way of making international calls. It is also called Internet telephony, a voice conversations over the internet. I couldn’t elaborate it further but in case you’re interested check truvoipbuzz.com – your ultimate VOIP Resource.

God’s Message for Me

I’m starting to hate him. Simple little things that made me upset are now like gargantuan building blocks in my heart. I know I have to understand and gave him time to fix things. I now feel numb and aloof. But the problem is he has no idea about this.

Maybe God has seen this hatred in me because when I open SFC’s website to read the scripture God told me to forgive…

“Bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you.” (Colossians 3:13)

Truly God speaks to me; so as to you. Just listen…

Trip to Eden Nature Park

Although I lived in a digital age still I wasn’t able to update my blog on what I have done for the past few weeks (mother’s day, elections…. And some other important events/highlights of my life). Blame it to my procrastinating attitude! (sigh)

Anyway, we spent the mother’s day at Eden Nature’s Park – one of the most visited spots in Davao. I longed this for a very long time ago, that’s why when my sister invited me to go with them I didn’t hesitate to say yes.

The cool breeze despite of El Niño and the familiar wild sunflowers growing along the way going to Eden’s Nature Park made me feels like I’m in Tagaytay (Oh I miss that place… sigh)



We have to rent a van, Php 65.00 each person, for us to explore the beauty of 80 hectares mountain resort - Eden nature Park. First stop is the flower garden... Different varieties of flowers painted the nature against the greenery backdrop.

Organic farming: vegetables and herbs that is cultivated at the top of the mountain. The picture below shows the garden and the Davao gulf.


95 % man made: the area was a victim of illegal logging and was developed by the owner of Eden Nature Park. Fern's are part of the 5% of the original. It is already half-decade old.

We were welcomed with the chirping of different species of birds....



Paths are carpeted with green-like-fabrics. .......

I thought it's moss...But it's a fern....


Exciting outdoor games like Indiana Jones are also provided.... We were having fun with this game....


My sister won a gift certificate - two tickets for the sky rider or the famous Zip Lining.... the most exciting game!!!


Full-geared, ready for the sky riding......



Battery empty!!! (sigh...) I wasn't able to capture our experience with zip lining...

Meet "Magic"

One of the greatest spots in Eden Nature’s Park is their Bird Sanctuary. With the chirping of the birds and the greenery around, I find it very relaxing. But one bird stands out – I don’t know if it’s a parrot. But it’s a talking bird. She’s the most talkative bird there. She keeps on babbling words which we could hardly decipher.

At first were intrigued where the voice coming from. Because other birds in her cage where she stayed were not entertaining. She was just peeking in the window of her bird house. A very shy-babbling bird!

When she decided to go out from the bird’s house we were shock with her looks – she’s half naked. It’s only her head were covered with feather. But besides her look it’s with her where we enjoyed the most. The kids love her so much that they ignored other birds. I think we spent almost an hour with her talking nonsense.

Why my title has a “Magic” word on it? She actually blurted those words the only clear words that came out from her mouth, and the kids decided to call her MAGIC.
