The first part contains all the gratitude to those who helped me when my wife and daughter had Dengue fever. The second part explained my history in blogging, how I started, and all the hardships it encountered. This includes the extended support of my fellow Filipino bloggers to renew its domain and hosting service.
However, I think the best part is blogging tips that I shared. They are the ones I tried and proven effective, and I hope you can get something from them. Read more of this >>
At long last, I have finally completed my list of Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs for 2009. Actually, I have been collecting blogs to be nominated some weeks ago. But since I am really very busy in the real world, I stopped for a bit. Then, I was surprised when learned that I am included in some lists, which is why I am very happy. It is definitely such an honor to be included, and thank you very much from the bottom of my heart.
By the way, this is the third part of Ms. Janette Toral’s project since 2007. It is her own little way of giving recognition to blogs whom readers think has a great impact on them. So with no further ado, here is my list. Read more of this >>
Two days ago, my blogging partner Mon and I attended a free Internet marketing seminar at the University of Sto. Tomas, Manila, Philippines which I learned through Manuel Viloria. Anyway, the seminar was entitled How to Make Money and Lucrative Job or Career Online. The speaker was no other than the Internet Marketing guru himself – Joel Christopher Remandaban. The rain was very heavy and I traveled for more than 4 hours since the place is around 75 kilometers away from home. But still, I managed to arrive around 10 minutes before the scheduled time 6pm. Mon arrived earlier, though.
The seminar encountered some mysterious troubles, but Joel was not affected. As he joked, Murphy was there, referring to Murphy’s Law – If anything can go wrong, it will. He entertained us for a moment by asking how we knew about it, where we came from, and others. While his team is arranging the set up, attendees were arriving from different status in life including UST students, deans from different departments and average businessmen. Read more of this >>
Philippines may be a third-world country, with a lot of natives going abroad to seek for a greener pasture and where corruption is a common topic in every table. But Filipinos are born with great talents and they can shine anywhere, given the chance.
I do not need to mention the names of Manny Pacquiao and Charice Pempengco, who are now doing very well in their respective fields. But these two are just among the millions of great Filipinos who are doing their best for their country and families.
Filipinos are also known to be sociable and hospitable, and blogging is another field where we can prove that we are. In case some of you are not aware, John Chow is very thankful to the 13-year old Kid Blogger Carl Ocab for saving him through a guest post. But this is not just about him; this post is a salute to all the Filipino bloggers in every corner of the world. Read more of this >>
Although the venue was around 68 kilometers from our place, and the event was scheduled until 11pm, I did not hesitate to come. It was a great honor to meet fellow Filipino bloggers for the first time, especially those who became my virtual friends. I also had a chance to see Filipino bloggers who are doing well in this industry, and bloggers from different fields. Read more of this >>
