goodmorning! KARAOKE





i woke up this morning hearing a familiar voice in a karaoke machine outside. at first i thought it was my friend that was singing so i shouted "Tang ina! ang ingay!". i was joking so when i opened my window i saw my kapitbahay singing. i was ashamed of what i have said so told my kapitbahay "lupet mu kumanta ah" following with a laugh.

this past few days i have been going to everyone's houses and sang in the karaoke. my favorite song is half-crazy (Freestyle Version) and I'll be over you by Toto.



i like to sing but singing hates me. haha.. my voice is not good. really. but they said that we pinoys love to sing. as all country said to us, our race have a happy personality. singing is in our blood even if our voice is bad. hahaha !

karaoke was invented by the japanese, yep i will admit it but it was us who first conceptualized it. in 1960+ pinoys have this lowtech minus one that plays on the stereo. in those era they created a new trend in singing. japanese then created a device that plays and records it's performance. it doesn't have these lyrics appearing on a television sets. it's just like what we have in that era. that's what i know so far. we conceptualized they did the device.

people really love to sing. everyone love to sing. like what i am posting on my facebook account "Music connects people whatever genre it is"

today, here in the philippines. music trend is not that strong. bands have disbanded, artist are going overseas to promote themselves, and we fans are left out. in my opinion, we did this to ourselves. not that we don't support filipino artist but it is because of the lack of confidence to fully support our artist. but there's always an upcoming artist/band that will take the limelight. and i just hope that those artist/band will have the will to be strong. it sucks to see your idol band be disbanded for a simple reason. but eventhough they're disbanded. they're music will not be forgotten. thanks for the KARAOKE MACHINE :)

Tagaytay Escapade

it was 4am when i received a text message from my friend that she is going to tagaytay with her friend. i usually don't reply to a text message in the middle of my sleeping time but when i saw her text message that she's near pala pala which is near to my place here in cavite. i replied and told her to wait for me and i'm on my way. that time i didn't care whether the water is cold or what am i gonna wear so i just run to the bathroom, got a quick shower and get dressed as fast as i can. then my friend texted me that they will just come to my place cause of the time. it's too early to go to tagaytay that time and you cannot see the beautiful spots there when it's dark. so i said that they should stay at my place and just go after my shift so that i could come with them. so they arrived at my place. they didn't care whether my place is at a mess. hahaha.. luckily i cleaned my room that day before i went to sleep.
as i said it was 4am that day and i have to go to work at 8am so i just let them in and i went on to sleep wearing pants and shirt for work. (pretty useful though) hehe :)

it was lunch time when they woke up. they texted me that i must come back to my place cause they cooked something special. as i arrived at my place i saw that they've used my rice cooker as a frying pan. hahaha ! what did they cooked is a can of spam. (that's the special thing that they have cooked?) i thought it was my favorite dish like sinigang or tinola, but i didn't mind it cause it's a spam. and spam is one of the greatest canned goods for me.. hahaha. so i bought some coke float for them just to say that i appreciated what did they do for our lunch and went back to the office.

when i got back to the office. i realized that it was thursday that day and thursday for me was like an all in one busy day for our department. it was our deadline day, meeting day, and daily task reporting day. so i went on to do those things and after that i checked my watch and saw that it was already 6pm. WTF ! it's already dark outside and we were not gonna enjoy tagaytay. so i went home.

let's just skip that part cause they've been sleeping that time. just use your imagination what happened that time. hahaha.

so we went to tagaytay and it's so dark we didn't know where the hell are we that time. so we walked on the road. it was cold that night and i felt the breeze straight to my bones. but it was a once in a lifetime experience. i never walked in tagaytay when we go there. we were on the car and just strolling to whatever we saw there. whenever the road takes us. that day i was fun. we talked while walking (one of my favorite thing to do) laugh so hard because of her friend. hahaha.
and was pissed to know that the restaurant that we usually go to is too far. hahaha.

so we arrived at the restaurant. by the way, the restaurant's name is GREEN ATS.

this is one of the best restaurants in tagaytay. i don't know why but for me it's the best.
the view in this place is extraordinary. you could see taal and taal lake in full details. and pagcor building that is glowing and blinking because of the fog. but we felt something strange to this restaurant. it is full of dwarf statues and an ethnic figurines so we thought it was creepy but it's okay for us. we we're starving that night because we walked so far. haha.

we can't decide on what to order that day. there's too many to chose from. so i started to tell them how great their bulalo was. then they ordered chopsuey and grilled pork.
our order we're served after 30 mins of waiting.

after eating there we went to go to the place we usually go to after strolling. there were many bar and restaurants there. we chilled and took a break on everything. we talked about what makes us stressed that day and how fun to have an adventure like that on tagaytay.

it was a fun experience. even though we didn't saw all the good spots in tagaytay we still enjoyed going there. the fog is thick, it was cold and creepy, it was an awesome experience!

i told them that we should do that again but it should be when the sun is still up next time. hahaha!

then we went to my place and stayed all day there before we went back to manila.

another way for an INTRODUCTION

I introduced myself as an SEO Specialist on my other post. i forgot to tell what do i do when i get bored or if i'm off on my work. i have a lot of friends. i visit them on my off. yep. i visit them all in different places. hahaha :D i don't know why but i like to do that. i want to see my friends everyday. when i'm with my friends i don't care what will happen next. and i don't want to know.. hahahaha. well i don't usually get along with everybody. cause they misinterpret what i'm doing for them. they took me for granted (awwww but that's true) and it's ok with me. as long as i'm happy in what i am doing. seriously. :D

Do i date someone? no. why? because i forgot how to date a girl. hahahaha !!
there's this girl i dated for almost 3yrs. we became lovers. but after 7mos we broke up. (i know you're not supposed to date a girl for a year but i enjoyed courting her) it didn't work cause i fall out. i can do everything but if i get tired of doing that thing over and over again i quit. even though i loved that girl so much. after that girl i dated again. who is she? she's the one. hahaha (cheesy right?) but it didn't work out again. why? cause i fall out again. hahaha.. i don't know why but i get tired easily with those thing i'm doing repeatedly or with the situation that's happening everytime. well i know that it's me who have that problem but i tried to divert things and ,i changed for us. but if my partner is like a child that don't know what she wants for us. well go to hell and rot there ! hahaha ! (bitter)

I'm an open minded person. if you tell me something i analyze that in a good way and in a bad way. everything have a reason. so i can tell you what is good and what is bad.

You can do anything to me. beat me up, call me names, all those crap you put me through wont make me hate you. why? cause hating is for kids. hahaha.. you can't hate a person if they told you that you're a fag or you're a bad person cause that's their opinion. you know yourself better than anyone else except your mom. :D

hmm.. that's it for now. i feel like doing this whenever i have something in my mind. haha.. i like to write cause i can express myself. i like to talk. haha. my mom said that i always talk and it makes her more agitated or irritated with me. so instead of talking or telling someone what's on my mind i'll just write, no more talking anymore mom :D

well that's it. i'll just post whenever i have my free time. till then :D

Introduction

Hi Everyone ! I'm Mark. This is my 1st time doing a blog so please bear with me. hehe :D I'm a Marketing Manager for a Solution Company and I'm handling SEO for them

I have a degree on Information Technology and i know it's hard to to believe that I'm in a Marketing Department of our company. It first started when i'm just an intern for the position in Web Design and i got the job. And then i got to this project in advertising and propose that it's not convenient to do a manual advertising like fliers and brochures. I thought that Internet Marketing is good because everyone is using the Internet as their basis for information around the globe.

That's when i started doing some Email blasting for our company's Product. But sad to say it is not that successful. I never thought of using what I learned about SEO in college cause' i really didn't focus on that when I'm studying. I like to design not to post links to every social bookmarking sites and Authority sites. but that day comes when i think of something that will Market our Products so I decided to study SEO again.

Yep SEO or SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION.

SEO/SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION is an organic way to put your Website/Webpage when searching on Search Engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing. There's really no technique or stable algorithm when ranking a Website/Webpage said by Google but everything on the web helps you to Optimize your website. It's really up to you on how you do it.

First is DO YOUR ON PAGE/ON SITE SEO. Yep you must do this in order for search engines spiders to easily crawl into your Website. Meta tags really helps you increase the chance that your website gets indexed in search engines. but google doesn't really care for some Meta Tags now cause people like me abuse the power of Meta tags today.. hehe.. :D and there's this ALT TAG for images. I really advice not to use one keyword on each image's Alt tag. although i don't have any news about abusing Alt tags by using one keyword on all your images but I advise not to do this cause it's such a waste if you have 10 images that's directing only to one keyword. Spread your keywords on this. this really helps you to get a traffic and backlinks on this.

Now for the Great Part ! OFF PAGE SEO. This is what the power of Spamming is all about. Yep ! SPAMMING ! I know it's really bad to spam on other people's post and websites but it's a good way to get a backlink and traffic for your website. and i know people will react on this if they saw OFF PAGE AND SPAM in one category but yes all we do is spam on other peoples webpages. don't get mad on me. get mad on the people who invented the word SPAM. :D even if you post a related keyword or content on other peoples work it's still considered a spam for me. why? because you did it on purpose. you post something on other peoples website/blogs and all you care about is promoting your website. you really don't care what the blog or website is all about. all you care is some backlink for your website. am i right? :D yeah i know I'm mean but let's be honest here. we do this to create a backlink not to be touched by someone's article and blog post. if your asking me if i read articles and blog before i place my link at the comment box I'll answer you with IT DEPENDS. It depends if the blog or articles catches my eye. If it's interesting yep i will read it first and maybe have a chat on one of the people who comments on it. but if it is somewhat boring at the first part. I'll just place my link there then go on with my life. :D

AND THEN LET'S MOVE ON :D (I've been telling you what I'm really doing when I get bored at my work and life. it's not my fault, i love to read :D)

There's this WHITEHAT and BLACKHAT in SEO. Whitehat SEO is the natural way of getting backlinks and traffic for you website. there's really not much to explain cause it's the NATURAL WAY. no questions asked here.
and then Blackhat, people say that we must avoid this technique and i really don't know why. why? really? you'll ask me why? as i said to you about Off page we're spamming. and spamming is really bad and then Blackhat is really bad. then what else you want me to say about this? hehe. seriously avoid this cause when search engines find out that you are using this technique your website will be banned. really, you'll get banned. just remember or find an article about BMW and GOOGLE and you'll know what i mean. :D

I guess i'll just post something again whenever i get a free time. This is too much for an introduction really. hehe...

SO UNTIL NEXT TIME. :D
