Light Traffic

Today the South Luzon Express Way is has less traffic than usual, considering that the construction of “Skyway stage 2″ already begun. The 2.5 hour traffic jam hell only took 25 mins. today from the Southwoods exit which is the real travel time before “skyway stage 2″ started.

Mckinley Hill

As usual I dropped off Wifey at her office in Mckinley Hill, Fort Bonifacio, Taguig and I happily went on my way to my office in Makati.

A Stupid Yellow Girl

As I was cruising along Mckinley rd., this lady wearing yellow suddenly appeared right in front of my car. Although my speed was only 50 kph I felt my blood rush thru my veins when I stepped on the breaks and seeing her scared for her life  as my car tires screeched going straight at her while slightly spinning to the right and hearing all the cars behind me screeched tires, my car finally went to a halt and she went along as if noting happened. I just hope the next car driver she encounters will have the same breaks and drivings skills I have.

I hope Yellow Girl is reading this so that she knows that we both almost put our precious lives to an end.

Long URLs are bogus! Tags like “nude” and “naked” are counterfeits! SEO is a big business, and from what I can tell its proponents are modern snake-oil salesmen.

These are the words from an article posted titled - SEO Fiascoes: The Trouble with Search Engine Optimization of John Dvorak a journalist from PCMag.com. Clearly this is a rant for the reason that he did not understand what he is actually doing on optimizing his own blog. Search Engine Optimization is a day in day out work. You cannot learn it in a second or even in day. You may learn the theories but you cannot put them into practice in months before seeing the optimum results of your effort.

The ignorant Mr. Dvorak claims that after changing his url’s into long urls his page views went down drastically but what happen to his bounce rate? did it decreased compared to the previous months? This is one aspect that his post did not mention. There also hundreds of other reasons on why his blog page views went down which you can see on this post from Alison. I am not claioming to be an expert in the field of SEO but I sure know that a logical URL (seo-optimization.html) is better than the default of wordpress (?postID=2009) which means nothing to your target audience and Google. Changing th eurl is not just about making it long, I think its about what you put in them. Tags also wont work when abused or used in the wrong way. There is this delicate balance of doing things onpage seo and onpage seo is just one part of seo which at the moment is not as heavily weighted as before. whats more important now is the off-the-page factors that will really boost your ranking and visibility.

This rant is clearly the sign of ignorance by John Dvorak or this might be a linkbait creating controversy by flaming on the SEO community. So if you want to react on his post and link to him I suggest that you “Nofollow” your links as this might be an SEO tactic and he could be very well inclined in SEO. A very clever post Dvorak if this is a linkbait, You’ve defenitley pushed some buttons here.

Thanks to Benj Arriola for posting the rant on sphinn and linkedIn.

My 2 cents.

Last Sunday, I officially started my workout program. I’ve been wanting to start this 3 years ago. knowing that I used to have a waistline of 28 in. and wiegh around 130 lbs. and now my waistline is freakin 36 in. and I weigh 185 lbs. imagine that increase in just 3 years. We found this gym near our house and it cost very reasonably compared to other fitness centers out there.

Why Did I Started Doing Physical Workout?

• My hieght is not proportional to my weight
• I get tired a easily
• I eat a lot
• I sit all day in front of a computer
• I have NO physical activity whatsoever
• I used to smoke
• I’m a perfect candidate for heart attack, stroke and cancer.

If you folks are the same as me, I suggest that you do the same. Get on your feet and go to the gym. It doesnt have to be daily, you can do it every other day or once or thrice a week depending on you available schedule. This is something that I’ve learned the hard way after having the operation, Watch what your eat, watch what you drink and watch what you do beacause you’ll never know.

To all the health buffs and iron junkies out there. Any special food diet suggestions?

Salamat, pareng Boy.
May mga grupo ng mga kabataan ang iniibestigahan sa mga oras na ito
hinggil sa nakumpiskang apat na kilo ng shabu.
Ang mga kabataan na ito’y matagal nang under surveillance, pareng Boy.
Magpasahanggang ngayon ay sinisiyasat pa ng mga awtoridad ang mga
pangalan ng suspects at kung saan nanggaling ang nasabing shabu.
Ito po si Lenny Cruz nag-uulat para sa Brown Radio.

I’ve got the story and I gotta tell
Kwentong pang-tropa but I only mean well
For the good of the kabataan, I mean you
Who are wasting away dahil sa shabu

Poor man’s cocaine, some call it chase
Puff the magic dragon all the way
To your lungs, ito, anay sa laman
May foil, may butter, tooter na lang

Nagkulang, pwes, gumawa o manghiram
At ‘pag ayos na rin, ating sindihan
Ang sarap, feel the rush to the head
It makes you crave for more of it instead

Oh fool, pagbilan ng piso o katorse
Buwan after buwan tumataas ang dosage
Lalo lang nalunod at saka ka nabaon
Sa utang, kawawa naman at malaon

At patay ang utak ng tropang ubas
Makinig sa akin at ako ang lulutas
Ng problema nila, ng tropang gising
Ang kasaysayan ng mga praning

Praning #1 ay artista pa naman
Multi-awarded, idolo ng karamihan
‘Di niya nakayanan ang fame at kayamanan
Marahil insecure at balang araw masapawan

Ng bago o mas gwapo at mas mabango
Sa producer at sa press, lalong na-depress
Nainggit, he tried it, gumamit, he took it
Bumatak ng pahamak sa parak at sumali

Gang bust, pero nasa kalaboso
Naging paranoid at naging suspityoso
Ngayo’y nakakulong at kami’y nanghihinayang
Sayang, si Praning #1

Praning #2, graduate ng beauty school
Maraming bagets at boys, I mean new kids on the block
At siya’y part-time pusher
Dugo ng babae, number one hairdresser

He’s duce, seduce and even introduce
‘Cause of the boys while making the use
Drug, you can call it crystal methane
You can call it want you want but it’s all the same

One day, he was robbed and stabbed seven times
His boyfriend left in the scene of the crime
Patay ang bading ng dahil lang sa shabu
‘Wag sanang tularan si Praning #2

CHORUS
Tropang gising, tropang gising, tropang gising-sing
Mga praning, mga praning, mga praning-ning
Laging gising, laging gising, laging gising-sing
Mga praning, mga praning, mga praning-ning

Praning #3 ay gustong mag-artista
Gustong maging bida, kay direk siya naniwala
Gumawa ng pelikula, ang tema ay bastos
Isa palang pelikula ang dapat nang idaos

Ng kakawang star at ang kailangan niya’y gamot
Na dapat ratratin upang siya’y makalimot
Ng bagay na ‘di nais na mangyari binabalak
Sa sinapit ng ilan at siya’y biglang nawala

Ang isip kumitil sa shabu’y sumisid
Ang isip ng fit ngayo’y lumiligid
Sa Ermita nagbebenta, ‘di kaya
Sa matihin ang katawan ang kawawang Praning #3

Praning #4 ay mahilig sa pagtulog
Pero ayaw namang aminin na siya’y nalulong
Patikim-tikim, kung tumira’y palihim
Pero ‘di niya akalain na siya’y sasamain

Palad, unti-unting sumabog ang lagim
Biglang napikutan ang barkadang praning
Isa isang na-bust o pinasok ng magulang
Pumiyok sa parak, nandamay ng pangalan

Ng source ng mike, basta’t dinampot na lang
Dinala sa dilim, walang awang pinaslang
Nagtatakbo na siya’t ayaw nang umiskor
Sindikato ang kalaban ni Praning #4

CHORUS
Laging gising, laging gising, laging gising-sing
Mga praning, mga praning, mga praning-ning
Tropang gising, tropang gising, tropang gising-sing
Mga praning, mga praning, mga praning-ning

BRIDGE
Tropang gising ang mga praning
Laging gising ang mga praning

Ngayong alam n’yo na ang mga ilang istorya
Ng mga taong nagpagamit sa droga
Hindi lang isa, dalawa o tatlo
Hindi pito kundi libu-libo

Ang nasira, natalo, namatay, nagutom
Nawalan, nakulong, gumagamit ang naloko
Shabu ba at ang crystal methane
Anay sa laman, poor man’s cocaine

Sa unang tira, ‘di mo mapapansin
Ang tama ng mediaphetalamine
Hydrochloride, suicide assorted
‘Yan ang mangyayari ‘pag gumamit ka ng yes

(Yes, the rhythm, the dribble)
You gotta stop and then you’re gonna stumble
Down, walang maitutulong ang bato
(Eh, gumamit na lang kayo ng pito-pito, eh)

O ano, tatanga ka lang ba d’yan
Baka abutin ka lang ng siyam-siyam
Umpisahan nang itigil ang salot ng bayan
Titigil ka lang ba ‘pag ika’y pinaglamayan

Dinaanan ko na ang buhay ng patay
Impyerno ang hatid nito kapag ang panay
Gamit ng shabu, dumalangin
Na ‘wag maging isa sa mga praning

CHORUS
Tropang gising, tropang gising, tropang gising-sing
Mga praning, mga praning, mga praning-ning
Laging gising, laging gising, laging gising-sing
Mga praning, mga praning, mga praning-ning

Tropang gising, tropang gising, tropang gising-sing
Mga praning, mga praning, mga praning-ning
Laging gising, laging gising, laging gising-sing
Mga praning, mga praning, mga praning
