If you have been blogging for a while, you probably know now how important page rank is to one’s blog. When I was new in blogging, I really don’t know and I didn’t care about the technical side of it. I became aware of this issue only when other bloggers started to talk about how their Google page rank improves and rant about when it suddenly drops to zero. And because of that I got curious about my own PR. Is it doing better like other blogs or how can I develop my site more to attract more visitors and good traffic flow?

I was happy to know that my blog has a page rank of 3 and like other bloggers feel when I got sad when it dropped to 1. So I decided to read information about increasing page rank.

One thing that I learn to improve page rank is to submit your website to web directories. Web directory is different from Search Engine but both are big factors for you to be able to have a good page rank.

Web directories contains list of websites in a wide range of categories like for example the Yahoo! Directory while search engines are tool that is designed to search information on the web.

There is a free web directory while others require a one-time charge before you can include your website on their listing. Other web directories require only a link back or reciprocal link so your website will be added to their listing. And there are some directories with specialization too like business web directory or shopping directory.

I remember a fellow blogger who told me to enter my website in a SEO friendly web directory. From my understanding, SEO friendly directory allows search engine to mine data from them.

Until now I made it a point to add my site on free web directories and read more about search engine optimization.

Only days after the 49 years old woman victim died, health authorities found her  positive with the virus when her relatives confirmed that she suffered from some flu-like symptoms before passing away.

On the other hand, the DOH told that the death of the woman was due to complications of her pre-existing medical condition and the A(H1N1) virus made her body weaker to fight her diseases.

This is our first time to visit the Sky Garden SM North Edsa since I gave birth to my second child.  When we saw this colorful bars, Ponks immediately posed for a remembrance.

It’s Father’s Day today but I was not able to prepare for it. I am still thinking of a gift for my father and hubby. The latter asked me if I have something in mind that I want to buy when we were strolling at the mall. But since I am preoccupied I was not able to say that I want a  Bling Bling Jewelry.

My officemate have this piece of Bling Bling Jewelry and we all love its style. Then he told me he wanted a Samsonite backpack so I now have the idea of what to give him but the problem now is when to buy it?

One mundane morning while browsing the internet at home, my attention was called by the color purple flickering on Yahoo Philippines website. Out of curiosity, I clicked on the mouse and it leads me to a different and exciting way of hunting.

Since I wanted to entertain myself, I proceeded in TriNoMa last June 16 as part of Yahoo Philippine Purple Hunt Mall Tour and here’s what I’ve got, a Yahoo Puple Tote Bag, A Purple Krispy Kreme Doughnut, Yahoo Stickers and Purplize Yourself Photo - all for free.

I thought after munching on the delicious doughnut, I will stop the hunting experience, but I was wrong for it’s just the start of a more exciting adventure that I will unveil as the promo continues.

Now I’m hunting for the Purple Digital Camera - Cannon Digital Ixus, and I’m happy because I guessed the location right. I am hoping to be one of the six lucky winners of the Purple cam.Please pray for my winning.

Not only that, on the final day of the Purple Hunting adventure, one lucky contestant will win a specially designed Honda Jazz. Oh my, that is too much for me, lolz.

P.S. You might want to try your luck too, just visit Yahoo Philippines for more information. Happy hunting!

When school is over, I like my child to have a meaningful and worth while vacation. I want him to learn things that he can’t learn in school, enjoy his childhood and make more friends. That is why I let him join some summer activities available in our community like enrolling him in a Kids Scout where he became the public relations officer.

The recent activity taught him about history of the largest fast food chain in the country, proper hygiene, food preparation and customer service. Aside from that, he was taught about the cooking procedure of his favorite burger. He even experienced how to encourage his fellow children to join the said kids club.

I remember when I was still as young as him, I often convince my mother to allow me to join the school summer activities with my classmates. But she did not allow me, instead, I got a surprise from her because we attended Summer Camps with our relatives and family friend. The activity includes family games like treasure hunting, trekking adventure and swimming.

I told my child stories about that memory and he like to experience the same so I am planning a Summer Camp for my kids and my family to enjoy this summer.

“The world is moving into the early days of its first influenza pandemic in the 21st century.”
