Mama Adang with Papa Troy

Happy Mothers Day to my witty, hardworking, understanding, and sharp-humored mother.  Thank you for:

• always being there
• understanding my flaws
• silently supporting my endeavors
• cracking “humorous” jokes
• loving Papa Troy
• cooking the family’s “favorite” dishes
• updating us the latest neighborhood “news”
• loving us unconditionally

My mother gives up her teaching career for US.  I got nothing else to say but THANK YOU.  Thank you, Ma.  We love you.

Have you been a victim of these credit card agents who would just suddenly call you at home and would forcefully ask you of your latest ITR copy, telling you that it’s the only lacking document so that your credit card application will be processed?

My first reaction was actually like, Oh, WAIT!  What’s the name of your bank again?  And then I went blank because I couldn’t remember that I applied for a credit card account to that bloody bank.  The very loud agent would then argue that I did sent an application and I should fax the lacking document so that I can start using their instant credit card.  And, I was like stupefied.

And after I hang up the phone, everything just sank in.  How did that bloody agent got all my personal information?  I only have two existing accounts and they are like the best credit cards that I have so far.  And I don’t have any plans to apply for another account because it would be just a waste of money and time.  Handling two credit card accounts is definitely not easy.  It’s just that, I want to maintain a good credit history for future purposes.

Anyways, that’s actually not the first time that a credit card agent tried to lure me to apply to their bank.  I’m just wondering how they get all my personal information.  I think someone is selling data from one company to another.  Something fishy is going on here.  Tsk…tsk.

Webthesurfi Rugs Webdesign are the keywords that we are currently competing to top in the Google SERPs. Clairemont Webdesign spearheaded this contest, which started last middle of March and will end in the 2nd week of April.

This is my very first SEO contest, and I really feel its thrill. My original intention why I joined, is to drive new traffic to my main site. Winning is not really my aim because truthfully, I still have a lot of things to learn about search engine optimization.

When I joined this contest, I was actually thinking that I would learn a lot about SEO since I will do my best to at least put my entry in a higher rank. Thus, it will drive me to be more resourceful and find things that I don’t know about.

At this very moment, I can already tell how those 4 entries made their way to the top. And it’s very obvious that their efforts are much larger than mine, though I believe that I also did a tremendous job so that my entry won’t end up in the bottom list.

One thing I learned about being part in this contest is, if you are wise enough, you can actually mimic the strategy of the other contestants. This, is because of the web’s transparency.

A contestant who is wondering why this certain entry is constantly topping the SERP, would eventually do some analysis and will pull out resources to diagnose it. After the nosing around, if you are really keen to details, before you know it, you already discovered their secrets.

For the first quarter of this year, there are only 3 keywords that won’t get easily erased from my mind…webthesurfi rugs webdesign.

Anyways, have you joined a contest lately?

N.B.: I wrote this post on the last week of March and shared it to my forum comrades.  I posted this now here in my main site to at least push my SERP rank.

I just happened to visit a website wherein they offer free unlimited text to their visitors.  Yeah, no bullshit intended.  I tried it just a while ago and it works.  You can send text messages absolutely free.

I was actually browsing the CBS forum this early morning and saw a thread about Pinoy Chikka inviting us for a meet up.  As usual I’m curious what it is all about.  So, I checked their website and there, I stumbled upon their free text feature.  What a nice morning offer especially if you are too lazy to wash your face and go out and buy a load.  Hehehe!

Anyways, I’m not actually promoting the website, but I can’t help it.  Their feature solves my morning laziness.  Well, if you have free time, please check their website.  You may stumble upon something that interest you.  Happy Sunday! ☻☻☻

“I will never do any money transfer transaction with Cebuana Lhuillier!”

I was really pissed off this morning when I accompanied my friend to get his money from a Cebuana Lhuillier’s branch somewhere in Colon.  We actually expected that we can get the money right away just like any other “money transfer” services that we already tried.

The security guard asked him if he has a Cebuana Lhuillier card and he said none because it was his very first time doing a money transfer transaction there.  The lady behind the counter asked for an ID, but told him that it is not valid because it’s not his present company ID.  We were a bit disgusted why it would matter if it’s not his current company ID.  The basis of the ID is just to verify that he is the person who is authorized to claim the money and most importantly, he has the unique transaction code.  Unfortunately, Cebuana Lhuillier’s strict policy doesn’t allow their customers to claim their money if their ID is not valid (according to their new “bank-like” standard which is too much a hassle and brings inconvenience to customers).

To make the story short, three hours later, we managed to bring someone who has a valid ID, asked the sender of the money to change the recipient’s name to that of the former, and sighed in relief that at last, the money can now be claimed.  But, for the very last time the friggin’ strict company policy intercepted.  We were told that they need a photocopy of the ID before we can claim the money.  WTF!  After claiming the bloody money, we swore that we will never do any money transfer transaction with Cebuana Lhuillier.  Why would we when there are lots of better and hassle-free money transfer services out there?

From the people who brought us HOBCON (June 2009) and Satin Eclipse (November 2009), here’s another cosplay and fashion event that would surely captivate the hearts of all cosplay and anime fanatics here in Cebu: Cane Events’ Ai”Love”.
