Would you have invested with the skinny little geek? Sometime last week, my Dad asked me to attend a multi-level marketing seminar involving Voice Over Internet Protocol (V.O.I.P) products. He wanted to attend the seminar personally but he asked me to attend the seminar primarily for two reasons first he had another meeting to attend and secondly, he just did not understand what the product is all about. (This also goes for all other “hi-tech” products) So I reluctantly attended the seminar. An American gave the presentation. He was very eloquent and convincing. The product was equally good as well. But what really intrigued me was the sales pitch he made when asked he people to join the multi-level marketing company. He told us that Microsoft is one of the richest and one of the most successful company in the world. The company is currently worth more than $ 200 Billion dollars. If these guys would come knocking at your door, you wouldn’t hesitate to give them your … [Read more...]
How to add a giant RSS button in your header
The thing about deciding to stick it out with a theme is that you get to learn a lot. You are forced to study in order to tweak the theme. One of the things that I’ve always wanted to accomplish is putting a big RSS button in my header. Sure you can have the default RSS button in your side bar but it is a small teeny winy button. I wanted a big RSS button, not only because it looks nice but because they say it will increase your number of readers (subscribers I should say) And I must agree it will increase your feed subscribers. For who wouldn't wont to click that shiny orange button ? Go ahead click on mine ! I discovered a big nice juicy orange RSS button by GEEK WHAT. So I decided to use this button. Now that I have the .GIF file for the button how do I link this to my RSS and how do I place it in my header file? It's quite easy. I’m no good at HTML. In fact I just learned to manipulate HTML codes for the past few weeks because I have no choice. I was forced to study it … [Read more...]
Mactan Island Lawyer’s league acceptance speech
"There are always three speeches, for every one you actually gave. The one you practiced, the one you gave, and the one you wish you gave." ~Dale Carnegie I agree with Dale Carnegie. However everytime I make a speech I only do two because I never practice before giving my speeches. (Except for contest purposes) However after I give my speech I always wish I could have done more. The following is the short acceptance speech I gave to the Macan Island Lawyer's league sometime late 2007 when I just passed the Philippine bar exams. The event was held at the Hilton Hotel. I didn't mind giving the speech because I tasted the good food that the hotel has to offer. Anyway here is the speech: Distinguished guests, colleagues in the most noble profession, friends, relatives and loved ones Good evening. I have been given the Herculean task tonight of delivering this acceptance speech in behalf of my distinguished colleagues. I still have a vague idea as to why I was chosen among … [Read more...]
Financial literacy for OFWs
Janice, an Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW) regularly sends an average of P 30,000.00 to P 40,000.00 (Almost a $1,000.00 U.S) a month to support her husband and two children. After several years of working abroad she comes home expecting a loving husband and two healthy children to greet her. Instead she finds her household in disarray, her children not in school for more than a year; her husband living with another woman, no food in the refrigerator, debts piled up at the neighborhood store, no money in the bank and worst their house is about to be foreclosed by the bank. The scenario may be exaggerated and may even be fictional but this kind of situation is happening to thousands of Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs). The Philippines is one of the largest foreign workers sending country. Statistics show that 1 out of 10 Filipinos are working abroad. Sadly, some OFWs and their families end up worse then what they were before financially then when they left to work abroad. A study … [Read more...]
What’s the big deal about “No follow” and why you should disable it ?
From time to time, I do some blog hopping and if I find some good blogs, I try to emulate what they are doing. I have noticed the “U Comment I follow” sign but I never knew what that meant until lately I discovered its importance, so I placed one on this blog. What the “U Comment I follow” sign basically means is that if you place a comment in this blog, hopefully the search engines will follow the author links, or the links on the comments that you placed. This will will result in the commenter hopefully getting a back link as a result of his comments. I used the word “hopefully” since some search engines (like google) say they do not follow the links in the comments. However a test done has revealed otherwise. Others (like yahoo, msn etc.) say they treat the links as if it is any other link. But no matter what, disabling the “No follow” will both be of mutual benefit to the blogger and the visitors of the site. So what is this “No follow” nonsense? Well it all started out … [Read more...]
