WHAT THIS COUNTRY NEEDS RIGHT NOW

The May 11 elections for 2010 is fast and approaching. Many aspiring candidates are now doing their strategic moves just to make sound for the purpose of the upcoming election. I would say that this coming election in 2010 is a circus of good and bad candidates. Let us go deeper into the discussion as we tackle things and lives of the presidential aspirants.

Aspirant 1: Manny Villar. He was the former senate president before he resigned from the position because of allegations of the road that he approved the budget twice. That road project was greatly for his property that lies at the end of the road that he gave budget twice. He always use the slogan: "Sipag at Tiyaga". That is his personal slogan for himself. You would see him always in the television commercials as a good man helping OFWs go home because of abuses abroad. I would say Manny Villar is a champion in the commercial ring for the coming election for 2010.

Aspirant 2: Gilbert Teodoro. Not much to mention for this guy because I barely know him. He is the secretary of National Defense under the current administration of Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. He is a good guy. But he lacks the exposure that is needed to run for the highest position in the land. More years of exposure, he will be a good leader in the coming years.

Aspirant 3: Joseph Ejercito Estrada. Come on guys! Do I have to tell you about this kingpin running for the position again. He was ousted before by the Filipino people during the Edsa Dos event headed by the late Cardinal Sin and the late Corazon Aquino. He was given a guilty verdict by the Sandigan Bayan Court because of his irregular activities when he was seated as president. He is full of guts, but lacks the mind to make a good decision.

Aspirant 4: Chiz Escudero, young and energetic one. He is a first time senator has not yet proven himself in the senate to be a force to reckon with. Say Chiz! As his famous commercial would always say. He resigned from the NPC party because the chief, Danding Cojuanco did not support his cry to run for the position as president. He is going alone in a war that he barely knows.

Aspirant 5: Noynoy Aquino. His real name is Benigno Simeon "Noynoy" Cojuangco Aquino III, the son of the assassinated Sen. Benigno Aquino during the Marcos regime. He is the cousin of Gilbert Teodoro, who is also a presidential aspirant for 2010. His mother was the late Corazon C. Aquino, former president of the Republic of the Philippines. I would say, he became an instant presidential candidate after the death of his mother. He felt the burden of carrying the country back to its glorious days, where honesty, sincerity, dedication to public service and pride was the core values that the Philippines has before. I would say that in this line up of presidential aspirants, Noy Aquino has an advantage, unless cheating occurs again. He does not need to spend to much of his money because Kris Aquino is always there to endorse him. Noy Aquino, I think is more likely to win if the election is going to happen tomorrow. With the undying support that he has from the supporters of her mother and his father, He is a sure win for the Filipino People.

We have more days to count before we cast our one votes to these aspirants right now. There are many things that will be happening soon before the election day. Just an advise, we have been through many storms before and until the present. After the Aquino administration, allegations of corruption and wrong use of the funds in the government always hit front page. our nationality and international image has been ruined by our wrong decisions in the past. But I still believe that hope and change is coming right now. As we cast of votes this coming election day, think about our children, their future. A wrong decision would take 6 long years before we can change it. We do not need another people power to oust one. Just a single vote will do. Let us bring back the glory days that we once had. We must learn from the past to make a better future.

MAR ROXAS AND KORINA SANCHEZ FINALLY ONE


We are all fan of movie and television celebrities, Mar Roxas and Korina Sanchez are hot celebrities right now that we often see on television. After a long wait, they finally tied the knot that would bind them forever. I think this is a good sign for the both of them as they join hand together and start their family.

Mar Roxas is a known senator and a celebrity as well. Korina Sanchez is one icon in the televison and radio broadcasting right now. She is considered one of the most known and influential broadcaster right now.

The wedding was a simple and yet well attended by top socialites in the country. I thought that the couple were planning a simple wedding but the outcome was different as what I expected to be. Famous celebrities and colleagues in government were witnesses to the binding knot of the two.

After the wedding, it's back to business again. Korina Sanchez-Roxas will be supporting her husband as he bid for the second highest position in the land. Mar Roxas would definitely need a Korina Sanchez right on his side. For the both of them, congratulations and best wishes!

HOME SWEET HOME AGAIN

I used to enjoy traveling but I guess my desire to travel is slowly fading away. I just got from my travel again and I am very tired. The bus was an air conditioned one but I cannot feel the cool breeze of the air conditioning unit due to the crowded bus that I am in.

From Kidapawan City to Davao City, it would take around 1 hour and a half. But on this trip the time was extended because of the poor road condition. Adding pain to the travel is that the seats of the bus were too small for me. I am thinking that I did not gain more weight. My knees were reaching the backrest of the seat in front of me. My muscles are all tired up and I needed to rest for a awhile.

Next week, I'm on the road again and I will be going back to General Santos City, where I will meet one of our sales force. We will be doing a work-with type of job where processing of new account will be fast. Aside from next week's travel schedule, I will also be going to Lebak Sultan Kudarat. That is the farthest area under Davao City serving and I have to go there. Based on my inquiry about the area, it would take around 12 hours total in travel going to the town of Lebak. That would be a good adventure for me. Lebak Sultan Kudarat is blessed with beaches and abundant in agricultural products. I will be posting more about Lebak Sultan Kudarat later on. But for now, a bed rest will do the trick on my soar back and muscles too.

SEARCH ENGINES GOOD FOR SEARCHING IN THE INTERNET

I woulds say that I am savvy in doing research using the internet, particularly, using search engines in finding what I want to find in the internet. The search engines now a days are very easy to use the very user friendly to all. Even beginners would say that they use search engines rather than just visiting sites.

I have an experience with this kind of research. I tries using several search engines, Yahoo and Goolge search engines and I was able to get the information that I am looking for. I was ahead by two days from my classmates. Good thing about search engines is that you can find the article the you are looking easy and sweat free.

NEW FEATURE WITH EVERY BLOG POST

I have been thinking for the past few days about this blog. I think I need to overhaul the blog post in my blog. I am thinking of going full fashion and technology posts for this blog. I have gain so much knowledge in SEO and this is the best move for this blog in order to regain its page rank again. Just to recall, this blog has a page rank of 3 before it was stripped by Google. I am not saying that I cannot regain the page rank. But I think I need to do more for this blog to gain back its reputation. I will be focusing more in the above mentioned topics and news around the world. This blog will become a super blog again. But I really need to extend more hours in making post.

LIMITED INFO REGARDING TURKEY FOWL PROPAGATION

I was trying to find information about turkey fowl propagation and found out that there are few informative sites that give information regarding turkey fowl propagation and even breeding. I am interested about this because here in our city where I am residing, few farmers have grown turkey as their main fowl in their farm. There are many chicken farmers but few or even non-existent farmers raising turkeys.

Turkey propagation is really not hard. Farmers should understand that turkeys are extra sensitive in terms of caring and handling. Unlike chickens, turkeys are prone to fowl sickness and they need extra care. I am thinking of raising turkeys again. I had an experience with handling and propagation of turkeys but I still need more information with it. Unfortunately, internet information about turkey fowl propagation is few.

MY COIN INVESTMENT IS NOW WORTH SOMETHING

It all started as a hobby of collecting rare coins with value. I was introduced to it by my friend who was a rare coin collector for about 10 years. I would say, my friends was an expert when it comes to rare coin collection and dealing. He was part of numismatics, a group that is respectable when it comes to rare coins.
At first I started with few coins and I keep it in my safe. He encourage me to buy more and told me that the prices of the coins will be increasing soon. I did what nhe told me and to my surprise, the coin price was indeed increasing. Since then, I got calls from different rare coin dealers asking me about my coins. They want to buy it. I never expected the price of the coin that I collected was that high and many would buy it from me. Now, I would say I am a full pledge rare coin collector. I don't just collect, I also earn from the coins that I collect.

GARDEN CITY OF SAMAL

Tomorrow, I will be going to the garden City of Samal to check a grocery store that I approved last year to have a credit line. I was informed by our salesman that the subject has already changed ownership. it used to be called Fernandez Store before. But now, the ownership of the grocery was already transferred to a Korean national, who is residing in The Garden City of Samal.

Before going there, I will first report in the office to get some things that I will be needing for tomorrow's trip to Samal. Just a piece of thought about the place. Samal Island is known here in Davao City as the place where beaches are abundant. The famous Pearl Farm and the always visited, Paradise Resort are just two of the many resorts situated in Samal Island. Tourism is the main source of earning for the Garden City of Samal. Aside from the beaches, there are also other agricultural products that Samal is known for. Like the coconuts or copra, mangoes, and hardwood.

I need to prepare everything that I will be needing since I will making a report after the trip. I will be canceling the credit line that I extended to the entity to prevent future loss for the company.

COMPANY MATTERS

Its no nice to go home and had someone waiting for you. This is what I realized this evening after work. My wife was waiting for me to arrive from work. I told her that I will be home by 7 pm but I was early than that.

She already prepared the food for dinner and other things that are essential for tonight's meal. I bought some cold ice cubes in the nearby store for the juice to be cold when we drink it. Before when I arrive home, the house was dark and silent. Lights are on off mode and the only things that makes sound were my dogs.

This is the big difference when you are single and already married. Life is more enjoyable than before. Everyday is a brand new day. New things discovered and learned. My friends in the office always ask me about the things I do when I got. As always, it is nice to be home when somebody special is waiting for you.

PLANNED ACTIVITY FOR OUR ANNIVERSARY

We were very tired in entertaining our guest last Sunday. Our plans on how to celebrate the occasion was temporarily suspended because of the guest in our house. After the Sunday's event, me and my wife went to a hotel in downtown area to spend time with each other.

We stayed at Sunflower Hotel. It is a mid size hotel with 40 rooms available. I would say it was on of the hotels under the budget class. But the accommodation was very good. We had the supreme room. it was equipped with a television, air conditioning unit, a hot and cold shower room and the most important of all, a spacious bed for the both of us.

Before proceeding to the hotel where we will be stayed, we dined at Grand Men Seng Hotel, where our reception was held last year. We got a gift certificate from the hotel administration and we selected the buffet dinner for two. We finished our dine around 8 pm.

We also booked for a day tour stay at Pearl Farm Beach Resort. This is the most beautiful beach resort here in Davao City. Most visited by tourist and locals because of the amenities and facilities. That I have to post later for my wife will be uploading the picture in the web. That I will post later my friends.

HECTIC SCHEDULE

I am very busy this past few days. I just celebrated my first wedding anniversary last Sunday. I was not prepared for the occasion. Me and my wife was already cooking something for our anniversary. But I was not prepared when my mother was also cooking her own recipe for our anniversary.

It was just the Saturday before, when she told me that she had already invited my aunts and uncles in our house for our anniversary. On the anniversary day, we went immediately to the market to buy some ingredients for the things that we will be cooking. I also bought a lechon for our first year anniversary.

The party ended at 9 pm. I drove my cousins to their houses and my aunt, who lives in Lanang area. It was a very tiring job of cooking and entertaining as well. But I am just happy that our anniversary was celebrated well.

DOING THE LAUNDRY AT NIGHT

I just got home after paying my credit card bill at Makro. Upon arrival at the gate of our house, I noticed my wife standing outside the house, holding a hose and putting water on the bucket. I thought she was just watering the plants but when I open the gate, I saw her rinsing the clothes that she already finished washing.I immediately parked the car and took off my clothes and assisted my wife in the laundry.

I was the one doing the twisting and squeezing of the clothes.After that, I gave it to her for the hanging task. Doing laundry at night is much easier than doing the laundry in the morning. It is because the wind is cold and you don't feel tired even you are sweating. The only down side of it is that your clothes don't get dry because there is no sun to provide the heat. Wind dry is not enough. I think we will just leave the clothes outside for wind dry.

In doing washing clothes, I prefer using the granule type of soap rather than the bar type. It is because I can soak my clothes in the soap and let it stay for about a hour before I do the dirty job of washing the clothes. Our clothes are not dirty as other might think about it I little pound and squeeze and that's it.

LAND TRANSPORTATION OFFICE

Have you ever tried to renew your automobile's registration? For the experienced people, well yes. They find it very easy to do that since they have been doing it for quite sometime. But for me, this is just my second time to do it. Early this morning, I went to the Land Transportation Office to renew my car's registration. It was quite easy if you know the things to do before going to the Land Transportation Office. Here are the steps to be done before registering your car:

1. Check the Official receipt and the Certificate of Registration. It would be better to photocopy these things for they are very important when you are going to process your car's registration.

2. Emission Test. Emission test is a kind of test that is done to your car to check whether your car is still worth driving based on car's exhaust.

3. Have your car stenciled. The chassis no. and the engine number. You have to fill up tha registration from.

4. Car Insurance. This is required by the registration office that your car must have an accident insurance. In my case, I just got the TPL type of insurance. It is cheaper compared to the comprehensive type of insurance. The difference is, your car and you is much safe and secured when you got the comprehensive type.

5. Attached your emission test result, photocopy of the Certificate of registration and the original copy of the official receipt of the previous year's payment and the insurance.

6. Submit in the Receiving area of the registration area. It would take around 1-2 hours before your car's papers be encoded. it would be advisable that you come to the Land Transportation Office early to avoid the crowd of people who are processing their car registrations also.

7. After the encoding of your papers, it will be released and you have to pay it in the cashier. ten proceed to the sticker and plate section for the stickers for your car.

The seven steps in car registration is very helpful for those first timers.

CHECKING MY FRIEND'S WEBSITE

This morning, my friend called me up and told me about his problem in his website. I told him that I will be coming by 6 pm this evening since I am in the office right now. According to my friend, his website is loading slow and pictures are unavailable when loaded. In this kind of problem, I am considering that my friend had loaded some scripts on his website that is making the delay and the lag for the loading of pictures.

His website is already 10 years old and I was one of the developers who helped him build his own website. I will bring one of my good friend who also is an expert in website problems. In my wild guess, there are scripts that are loaded to the website that is making this problem on my friends website. I better be prepared for to nights website repair.

GOOD WEB HOSTING FOR MY WEBSITE

I have been teaching web site development and web site creation since 2004. Most of my students are my college friends and some close friends that are interested in building their own website. They often call me up and invite me to their place to teach them website creation.

I would say that being a teacher also makes me become a student in terms of learning new things from my students. What I learned is that having a good website is not enough. You must also have a good web hosting for your website. It is because there are so many web hosting services right now but you must be careful in selecting one. Their services vary from each other and also site features. Even the most experienced website developers would agree to what I am saying right now. That is why when I teach the course to my friends, I always suggest that they must have a good web hosting service.

One of my student/friend asked me where to find the right web hosting service for their website. I told him about webhostinggeeks.com, where you can find the right web hosting service for your web site. What is good about webhostinggeeks.com is that they have already ranked several web hosting service site and has made a comprehensive review on each site that they feature. To those who are into website development, I suggest that you visit www.webhostinggeeks.com now and find the right web host for your site.

MY WIFE

I just got home from Shoe Mart Shopping Mall here in the city. I bought some things for somebody close to me. I have been a home buddy every since. I would prefer staying at home and doing things alone. I may be a loner but I can still mingle with others. Tonight I realized that I miss someone very dear to me and that is my wife.

After our wedding, we haven't spent real quality time together. The Hong Kong trip was not enough to be called a quality time. But I am planning some thing for her. Our first year anniversary is upcoming and we have not yet finalized the details of the celebration. We are planning on going to Pearl Farm and stay at Marco Polo Hotel here in Davao City to commemorate the tie that bond us for lifetime.

This is very real for me to say that I love my wife very much. Many guys would find it hard to say this but I am the exception to that. My wife is very special to me. She will be my half side for life, until we grow old.
