We received tons of emails almost everyday and we are too tired in composing a new blog post instead you'll just copy and paste (ahem) all email materials you've got in your inbox. But hey, worry no more ... there are some ways on how you can "recycle" those posts in a new ones. I'm not saying to use the same content but rather make it more eye catching. 1. Slideshows Instead of posting 100 photos to your blog, create a presentation and tap new audience by making it more informative. Add contents to the slides, making it shareable to everyone. Upload to Slideshare or to any photo sharing that has a slideshow feature 2. Videos Create a quality video content. Be like a pro! Boost your blog by posting how to, step by step, event coverages, commentaries, reviews, etc. You can create an instant blog post using your smartphones. Just search for some app sharing video content, and tadah....you're a star! 3. Podcasts or Live Audio Not that new technique but if you hav...

For Immediate Release MANILA, PHILIPPINES (January 5, 2015) — To start the new year on a positive note, Sarangani representative and ‘People’s Champ’ Manny Pacquiao renewed his commitment to be an Ambassador and spokesperson for Habitat for Humanity Philippines. Pacquiao signed a new memorandum of agreement on January 5, 2015 indicating his commitment to support Habitat for Humanity’s “WeBuild Campaign”, which is kicking off early this year. The agreement also outlines the congressman’s P5-million donation, which will be used to partially fund 195 houses for families in Glan, Sarangani. The families — mostly composed of fisherfolk and sari-sari store vendors — will be living in “Pacman-Tata Yap Ville” in Barangay Tango in Glan, a housing project of the congressman. Each duplex unit is 32 square metres on an 80-square metre lot area. The 2.8-hectare site includes a multipurpose centre, a community park and a concrete stage that can be used for community’s special events. Pacquiao also ...

Aside from the exhibit, Ice Carving is definitely a must see activity for all ages. Sorry for the background noise (the baby behind me has tantrums).

It's the first day of a new year and we are again it's a great time to list down things we accomplished and start targeting our goals for the next 12 months. I'm not going to post "I will lose some weight" as new year's resolution but this post will be concentrated in your career as a blogger. Why do we need to set goals? We make mistakes for no reasons, we wanted some changes in our blog like moving to a new domain name, changing layouts, hiring additional workforce as correspondents, and a lot more...the main thing here is what goals we should identify and move towards accomplishing it. 2014 Blog Performance Have you check your latest traffic report from Google Analytics?

We've ordered the tree online. It's almost Christmas and we're going to set it up. Here are some tips I've learned: 1. Be careful in opening the box. Yes, do not just cut and open it. Since this is a pre-lit, wires might be loosen. 2. Read the manual. There is a piece of paper on how to assemble it. Follow what is written. 3. Check the stand, it should be "X" and lay it flat on the surface. 4. Slowly check the other components of the tree. Each piece has their own numbers (for pre-lit), assemble the tree first and then check out the section of lights it should be either color coded or numbered. 5. Put it together and test the lights after bending the rest of the branches. 6. Start decorating. There is no right / or wrong in decorating your Christmas tree. I didn't follow the "red" motif that was included on the package instead I combined all decors we have at home. Tadah, the finished product! Merry Christmas....next is gift wrapping. One of the ...

The moment I first heard that there will be a Hello Kitty Convention , my initial reaction was priceless! Then, I prayed that the venue will be somewhere in the United States so that I can attend. And, it was announced that the venue will be held in Los Angeles --- I jumped (3x!) and immediately browse for flight schedule available on October 30 to November 2. I nearly forgot to purchase the entrance tickets which is $30 per day, so my cousin & I decided to go on Friday which is October 31. But airfare during weekend is expensive so I arrived earlier (Thursday) and hangout with my longtime friend who is currently near in LA. I took the 10am flight going to Los Angeles courtesy of American Airlines. We arrived a bit earlier. Then, I took a cab going to Miyako Hotel (I spent overnight in Little Tokyo) and rushed to claim my badge which is just few blocks away from the hotel. I saw HK fanatics everywhere. The ambiance is exciting. The streets were filled with HK banners. I saw a HK ...
