What does it mean to be a Filipino? A frequently asked question but hardly answered by many of us. Survivors of a medley of colonial influences many Filipinos were uncertain of who and what we were. We confused ourselves and others. It seemed futile to even talk about nationhood and nationalism when we had been so hopelessly "Coca-Colonized". Unaware that we think and do is unique perhaps it is the company of non-Filipinos where Filipinos truly stand out. let's see if you'll enjoy and laugh over our amusing, often inimitable mannerism not in derogatory way but in a delightful manner. Let us try to showcase positive Filipino traits as well.

Know you're a Filipino if...

* You're related to every one

* You're middle name us your mother's maiden name

* You're parents call each other "Mommy" and "Daddy"

* You have uncles and aunts named Boy, Girlie, and Sahmmeeh

* You have relatives whose nicknames consist of repeated syllables, such as Jun-Jun, Ling-Ling, and Mon-Mon

* You call the parents of your friends and your own parent's friends "Tito" and "Tita"

* All your Children have four or five names.

* You greet your elders by touching their hands to your forehead.

* You always kiss your relatives on the cheeck whenever you enter or leave the room.

* Your grandmother greets you by smelling your cheeck.

* The prospect of sending your elderly parents to a nursing home is inconceivable

* You abide by your parent's house rules even if you are over 18

* You live with your parents' house until - and at times even after - you're married

* You think nothing about hosting a houseful of balikbayan relatives for weeks on end - and can still smile about it.

* You demand that your children sing and dance to amuse your friends and relatives.

*You'll sell, borrow, beg, or steal the last carabao to send children and siblings to university.

next time will be Where We live

Roads that bridge to success

2009-08-07T13:08:00.000-07:00

I've been thinking if roads are only built stronger and set in best standards hassles and inconvenience may be avoided. Roads and highways are necessities and bridges to success. Thousand of vehicles uses this daily so it is necessary to have the good road for comfortable travel. I came across to an information that may help our government to choose a better quality in building roads for our progress.

The Roadway Construction Products division of Mid-Park, Inc. prides itself in the development of top-quality guardrail, crash cushions, dowel baskets, and other products for roadway safety and construction. Terminal sections for guardrails are also produced, as well as guardrail posts of any size and shape. Roadway Construction Products also produces channel, tube, or other special guardrail for bridges.

They offer only the best to last.

“Render therefore unto Caesar are the things which are Caesar's and unto God the things that unto God's Mathew 22:20-21 “ this is the famous line Jesus said to its apostles when the a tax payer approached him to ask the question if they should pay taxes or not. A coin (silver Denarius) was presented to Jesus. The magnificent coin that became part of history the most precious ones are the silver and gold coins which represents the rich.

A gold coin is a coin made mostly of gold. Gold coins are very interesting for they can be very valuable collections allowing you to understand the past by their composition that offer a glimpse into history. Some gold and silver are rare but not impossible to have and become a part of your collections. These are just the few reasons why I start collecting coins. If you have one feel free to share some of your most valued one.

Correct Formula of Crafting Cheese in Mousehunt

2009-01-01T17:38:00.000-08:00

Hello guys this is my update for crafting cheese in MouseHunt hope you enjoy it!

White Cheddar

This cheese is rather poor at attracting mice. However it seems that its unique scent drives away the white, grey and brown breeds of mice.

Formula

(1) Salt + (1) Curds and Whey = (1) White Cheddar
Total Cost (1 Piece): Min 10, Max 13

Susheese

Considered somewhat of an acquired taste, Susheese is the traditional meal of the school of the Cheese Claw. The combination of delicious brie and fish fresh out of the Burroughs River seems to be the only bait that will attract the Masters of the Cheese Claw.

A hunter who crafts Susheese in order to catch a Master of the Cheese Claw might put it to use in the Meditation room, where the Masters are most vulnerable.

Formula

Formula discovered by: Andrew August Swingler
(1) Nori + (1) Burroughs Salmon + (3) Curds and Whey + (3) Tokens of the Cheese Claw = (3) Susheese
Total Cost (3 Pieces): Min 179, Max 185

Glutter

This cheese is the result of the careful art of fusing a seemingly infinite quantity of flavours into a single cube of cheese. This decadent bait seems to be the only cheese capable of breaking the will power of the Masters of the Cheese Belt.

A hunter who crafts Glutter Cheese in order to catch a Master of the Cheese Belt might put it to use in the Meditation room, where the Masters are most vulnerable.

Formula

Formula discovered by: Anita Hunt
(1) Cheesy Fluffs + (1) Invisi-glu + (7) Curds and Whey + (3) Tokens of the Cheese Belt = (3) Glutter
Total Cost (3 Pieces): Min 186, Max 200

Combat

This cheese is specially prepared swiss mounted on combat dummies and adorned with a target. Masters of the Cheese Fang often use this apparatus to teach students combat techniques as well as help decrease their mental weakness to cheese. Be warned! Should a Master of the Cheese Fang see a hunter using a chunk of this as bait it will surely cause them to challenge the hunter to defend the honor of the school.

A hunter who crafts Combat Cheese in order to catch a Master of the Cheese Fang might put it to use in the Meditation room, where the Masters are most vulnerable.

Formula

Formula discovered by: Stephen Blizzard and mixed by Mikko Sarmanne
(1) Splintered Wood + (1) Paint-brand Paint + (5) Curds and Whey + (3) Tokens of the Cheese Fang = (3) Combat

I'd been playing this game for a long time. and here are some of tips from my research for creating special kinds of cheese to attract variety of mice. enjoy!

White Cheddar

Formula: 1 Salt + 1 Curds and Whey

This cheese is rather poor at attracting mice. However it seems that its unique scent drives away the white, grey and brown breeds of mice.

Glutter

This cheese is the result of the careful art of fusing a seemingly infinite quantity of flavours into a single cube of cheese. This decadent bait seems to be the only cheese capable of breaking the will power of the Masters of Cheese Belt.

Considered somewhat of an acquired taste, Susheese is the traditional meal of the school of the Cheese Fang. The combination of delicious brie and fish fresh out of the Burroughs River seems to be the only bait that will attract the Masters of the Cheese Fang.

Combat

Formula: Unknown

Should a Master of the Cheese Claw see a hunter using a chunk of this as bait it will surely cause them to challenge the hunter to defend the honor of the school.

Rumble

Formula: Unknown

Little is known about the origins of Rumble cheese. Many hunters suspect it is an invention of the Furoma forces designed to somehow destroy Gnawnia. This cheese appears to be incredibly unstable and radiate a mysterious power outwards from its center. The power of Rumble cheese intimidates all mice, scaring them away yet some hunters believe it is the key to attracting powerful, malicious mice. Should you choose to use this bait think long and hard if you are strategically prepared for the adversary it may summon.

Big Dog Quadruped Robot

2008-09-15T22:54:00.000-07:00

The Most Advanced Quadruped Robot on Earth

I almost drop my mouth when i saw this spooky robot made by the Boston Dynamics which they said it can walk or run in all kinds of terrain. Amazingly this robot can while carrying a 340 pounds of load. Thats a big help for the men in uniform out there. A stunning creation of the experts.
Here is an info about the machine itself. Take a look.

BigDog is the alpha male of the Boston Dynamics family of robots. It is a quadruped robot that walks, runs, and climbs on rough terrain and carries heavy loads. BigDog is powered by a gasoline engine that drives a hydraulic actuation system. BigDog's legs are articulated like an animal’s, and have compliant elements that absorb shock and recycle energy from one step to the next. BigDog is the size of a large dog or small mule, measuring 1 meter long, 0.7 meters tall and 75 kg weight.

BigDog has an on-board computer that controls locomotion, servos the legs and handles a wide variety of sensors. BigDog’s control system manages the dynamics of its behavior to keep it balanced, steer, navigate, and regulate energetics as conditions vary. Sensors for locomotion include joint position, joint force, ground contact, ground load, a laser gyroscope, and a stereo vision system. Other sensors focus on the internal state of BigDog, monitoring the hydraulic pressure, oil temperature, engine temperature, rpm, battery charge and others.
In separate trials, BigDog runs at 4 mph, climbs slopes up to 35 degrees, walks across rubble, and carries a 340 lb load.

BigDog is being developed by Boston Dynamics with the goal of creating robots that have rough-terrain mobility that can take them anywhere on Earth that people and animals can go.The program is funded by the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA).
Wow that is what you call a machine! Watch it walking and didn't drop even it was kicked in the butt.

Official Google Blog: A fresh take on the browser

2008-09-02T19:52:00.000-07:00

At Google, we have a saying: “launch early and iterate.” While this approach is usually limited to our engineers, it apparently applies to our mailroom as well! As you may have read in the blogosphere, we hit "send" a bit early on a comic book introducing our new open source browser, Google Chrome. As we believe in access to information for everyone, we've now made the comic publicly available -- you can find it here. We will be launching the beta version of Google Chrome tomorrow in more than 100 countries.

this is the googles first release of their newest browser and i ended up using it so i can have a guide and a review for this nice window on my desktop

Official Google Blog: A fresh take on the browser

Google Chrome - Speed
The first thing you will notice about Google Chrome is the speed of it. It is fast - I mean REALLY fast! Google Chrome also loads from scratch in less than a second on my machine and I have never seen any browser download a web page faster.
.
Google Chrome - Page display
These are the very early stages of using Chrome, but thus far - every site I have visited looks pretty much the same as on FF3. This is in stark contrast to the current beta of Internet Explorer 8; which even in ‘compatibility mode’ renders some pages very poorly.
.
Google Chrome - Ease of use
Within seconds I was able to find my way around the Google Chrome browser. It looks pretty basic, which I really like. You will quickly notice that there’s no dedicated search bar. Instead, you use the address bar and it will automatically do a search using your favourite search engine (you get to choose!)
The settings section is very basic and easy to understand. There are not that many options, compared with IE and Firefox.
.
Google Chrome - Nifty tricks
You are going to be hearing a LOT about the Google Chrome’s ‘Incognito mode‘. It allows you to surf websites without that website appearing in your browser’s history folder. Also, any new cookies triggered from your incognito mode tab will be deleted when you close it. When you have a tab open in incognito mode, you get a little picture of a detective in the top left corner - so you can tell at a glance which mode you are in.
You can slide tabs around to arrange them in the right order - and they actually do slide. It’s a nice effect!
Your bookmarks are automatically imported as soon as you install Google Chrome and your shortcuts will appear in the same order that they appeared in your previous browser - so everything’s where you expect it to be.
When you download a file, there’s a little animation of an arrow that plays - another nice little touch!
.
Google Chrome issues
As you would expect from a brand new beta, it’s not perfect! Here are a few known problems from the Google Chrome help center and one of my own. You can see the full list of known issues here.
- Google Calendar - If you create an all day event at the weekend it adds an extra day!
- Laptops sometimes won’t go to sleep with Google Chrome running!
- Fixed Width fonts on some sites are tiny on Google Chrome!
- Fellow WordPress bloggers will find some of the posting tools behaving ‘odd.’
.
Overall?
As you can probably tell, I am really impressed. Google Chrome is fast, easy to use and very polished for a beta release. I will have to play with it for a few more days to get a REAL feel for it, but my initial impressions are very positive.
Knowing what Google are like, Chrome will probably stay in beta for ages. It seems very solid and the feedback I have received from friends is that they are finding it equally stable.
The so-called browser wars have taken an interesting turn and I am not sure if this little baby is not going to be the winner. How crazy is that? After years of the ‘experts’ telling us that it’s either Internet Explorer or Firefox who will win - there’s a new kid in town who ‘might’ win the war (and far sooner than many imagined!)

14 LAWS OF BANNER ADVERTISING

2008-09-01T00:47:00.000-07:00

I'd been wondering what is the best controllable, reliable, predictable and measurable method of advertisement attracting visitors on your site. After a long research I arrive in a conclusion that banner advertising is the answer. But before adapting this kind of advertisement i will give you the

14 PROVEN LAWS OF BANNER ADVERTISING

1. Join two, three, or four quality exchange organizations. A typical exchange organization will offer you usually one-half to .7 or .8 credits, each time you host another member's banner at your site, and a full credit will earn you the displaying of your banner on another exchange members site. Some exchanges offer multiple page coding so you may host members banners on numerous pages throughout your site. Thus membership in multiple exchange organizations allows you to leverage visitors not only as a result of each unique visitor producing multiple credits for you, but also as a result of visitors who go beyond your home page, explore your web site, and earn you additional exchange credits through the impressions they are exposed to on any or all of
the pages you host banners on. It's highly possible to earn, with a ten page web site, and a visitor who sees all ten pages, ten or more credits, meaning impressions due you just for belonging to two exchanges. Now that's leverage.

2. When dealing with seconds, and sometimes fractions of a second, to grab the attention of the viewer, it's
vital that your ad screams LOOK AT ME NOW. You accomplish this goal primarily through and in this order, your copy, color, graphics. Therefore spend as much time on the five to ten words that little box has space enough for as you did practicing to ask for that first date.

3. Bright colors almost always out perform the reds and the blacks which are less effective. Use yellow, orange, blue and green.

4. Animated banners have multiple advantages over static or single screen banners. Use them to layer in additional copy. A three screen animated banner easily provides enough room for five to seven words per screen. Just make certain the copy that you choose for the first screen is compelling and attention getting. Focus on
your web site's premium benefit. Why do people visit your site? What's in it for them? Build your headline,
ie: the first screen, or your static banner, based upon your single most prominent, compelling benefit.

5. Banner size, should be maintained at 3-5K which is ideal if you can accomplish your copy and creative objectives. If not, up to 7 is OK. Never more than 10 as it takes much longer to load and you run the risk of the visitor not seeing your banner at all.

6. I can't stress this enough. There is no reason not to brand every banner you ever create. Branding
your banner can be accomplished by doing nothing more that placing your product or company logo on one of
the screens in the animation process, or simply giving the name of your company, or domain name, or a picture
of your product. With average click through responses in the 1-2% range, why waste 98% of the impressions by
not telling the viewer who you are or what your product is? Off line advertisers have known for decades the
power of branding, and with properly designed banners you can accomplish both direct response advertising
and branding simultaneously. With branding you can get your name, your product name, continually in front
of your prospects, even if they don't "click" on.

7. Don't get hung up on hosting banners on your site for fear that you'll lose a visitor. Listen, they're going to leave anyways. If they're interested in your site they'll stick with it until their interest is totally satisfied. If not, you're going to lose them in any event, so you may as well get some mileage out of those visits.

8. Do not try to qualify your visitor. In other words, let the site do the qualifying and selling job for you. After all the name of the game is to get each and every unique new visitor to your site as possible, thus leveraging credits due you should you belong to a banner exchange.

9. When building your five to ten word static banner, or five to seven words first screen animated banner copy, rely on these themes. Fear, curiosity, humor, the big promise. Example, Warning, you must see this before you purchase xxx; never worry about losing xxx again, learn the secrets of cashing in on xxx, do you know how to xxx? As an aside, a warning banner is an enormously powerful approach. Many off line yellow pages publishers will not even allow them because the other advertisers complain about the unfair advantage such an ad delivers. Try one.

10. The number one drawing card in banner advertising is the use of the word FREE. Put your creative talents
to task here. Write a free report that solves a problem, and post it at your site. Offer a free drawing, free subscription to a e-zine. Free advertising, free trial offer, free download for software, etc., etc.

11. Never assume your viewer knows what to do next. Always, in one or more places, insert the words click
here, or, click here now, or show a drop down box with a click arrow prominently displayed.

12. When appropriate to your marketing campaign, buy click throughs and not impressions. With click
through purchases you can lock in on the cost of each unique new visitor. Purchasing click throughs helps to eliminate concern over rigorous and ongoing testing and new banner design and creation concerns, as well as the arduous task of ongoing meaning daily, monitoring of each of your banner's effectiveness. When purchasing click throughs and paying only for those new visitors, all of those issues become someone else's problem. Bannerco-op.com offers an excellent click through program.

13. Targeting. If you are a niche market advertiser, or a local or regional advertiser, targeting is vital
to the success of your banner campaign. You'll want to very carefully select sites or work with an ad
agency that offers the opportunity to reach those prospects who are the most likely to be interested
in your product or service. On the surface, purchasing targeted impressions is more costly, however, it represents the best way to reach your audience. If you're selling automobiles in southeast Florida, it makes no sense to place your banner into a national network where only a fraction of the audience would have any interest.
Instead you'll want to target web sites serving the community you service, including Chamber of Commerces,
newspapers, radio stations, television stations, and other local and regional businesses serving the same
geography.

14. Test, test, and test some more. Once you've got the perfect banner working, design another one because
sooner or later even the best banner runs out of steam. It's generally accepted that after a prospect sees a
banner for the third or fourth time, the likelihood of a click through plummets. When testing, always test the
next new design on the same site or on the same network, so you are indeed comparing apples to apples. Testing
is a continual ongoing, dynamic process. Review your stat pages on a daily basis and be prepared to act
quickly when results begin to lag. Remember the three most critical elements of your banner. First the copy,
next the color, and next the graphics. Once a successful banner has been created, tweaking and modifying these
elements can keep it alive and producing strong click-throughs for many months.

do follow learning

2008-08-12T19:31:00.000-07:00

We always wanted traffic for our site, wanted some good links and juices for our site. But we must be aware of many factors that affect the quality of our site. The do-follow and the no-follow.
Sites with do-follow links for their neighbor's url and visitors comment loves links, they appreciate good comment with relevant content and not a spam at all. However this sites are sometimes abused by spammers giving unwanted comments irrelevant to the content of the site. One blogger said he made his site a do-follow site however "I do get a few comments that I will NOT approve because they are obvious comment spam. " he said. So you must consider on what are you doing for this people may get tired of deleting this junks. We must appreciate their effort as a part of our community in the net.

I have found some rules in do commenting do-follow sites

1. Read the post you are going to be commenting on! Site owner also read several of the current comments if there are some. It only takes a few minutes to read the comments and get a general feel on what people are thinking.
Then, post comments directly related to the blog post, related to the general tone of the comments, or related to a comment left by a specific person.
2.Be kind, even if you disagree with the blog owner's post, or some individual comments. As a blog owner if you blast me or some of my posters directly, I won't allow your comments. If you disagree with me, that's fine. Disagree, offer more information to support your disagreement, and do it respectfully.

3. I prefer at least a short paragraph of comments, that adds to the comment conversation. A simple "I agree" is not going to be approved by me.

4.Don't use your comments to list every website you own. After leaving some good comments, don't blatantly advertise your other websites. I'm already giving you an incoming link with your selected anchor text. If you add additional websites, I probably won't approve your comments.

Thanks to the beautiful minds of the SEO world, building traffic is much easier today. But be warned that there are many things that we must consider along the way.

Web traffic is the amount of data sent and received by visitors to a web site. It is a large portion of Internet traffic. This is determined by the number of visitors and the number of pages they visit. Sites monitor the incoming and outgoing traffic to see which parts or pages of their site are popular and if there are any apparent trends, such as one specific page being viewed mostly by people in a particular country . In this manner it is best to know who are the perfect persons whom you should consider as a big fish. The small businesses that are best able to make money from the Internet are those that have a niche market or unique product. If customers are highly motivated to find you, you've got a better chance of being found. Know your costumer that is the secret.

There are lot of things you can do to have good links and improve ones traffic. Improve your search engine ranking. Get links from good sites that is related to your market and products.Get links from related sites and sources.
Google is looking for good content because it adds editorial value to their own content. They're not impressed by people who try to fudge rankings artificially. That's why Google judges the value of the site that links out. So why invest on link farm the best thing you can do is put a good content on your site and update it regularly. Dont worry about how many people visit your site but with how long will they stay. Eventually this people will spread the word of the mouth a powerful tool to hit your niche. Start a blog and participate in other blogs. Post regulary on forums and create a social markings.
Always remember that your costumers are from real world have your site an appropriate content. People are searching the web for information. Your info must be fresh and relevant and useful. Add new info on a regular basis. Your image files must have appropriate keywords in their names because many people search through images. Effective keyword research is critical if you want to improve web site traffic try to know what is the most used and most specific words they use to search. You can get links back to your web site and actually create traffic to your web site by submitting articles to article directories. Reciprocal links are becoming less important in the optimization process and google see sites that interconnect one another just to create dumb links.
You can encourage visitors to keep coming back to your web site by publishing genuinely useful content. Lastly build your reputation (brand yourself) by making a good image on the net.
