Today, if you don't know yet, let me tell you that you can DONATE TO CHILE THROUGH TEXT (for ALL GLOBE subscribers). All donations would go to the RED CROSS which will ensure that your donations would reach their intended recipients.

Just text CHILE to 2899.

Ex. CHILE 300 and send it to 2899

Available donation amounts are 5, 25, 50, 100, 30, 500 and 1000 pesos.

This transaction is free of charge. For prepaid subscribers, this amount will be deducted from your regular load balance and for postpaid subscribers, this will be charged to your account on the appropriate billing cycle.

Chileans are facing one of the toughest tragedies in their history in the aftermath of an 8.8 earthquake and recent aftershocks. Many of the civilians have resorted to looting delis and convenience stores because of the lack of food and other necessities. The situation is so out of control that the government have issued additional police powers to make arrests and restore order.

These are not your usual looters. They are ordinary people pushed to the limit by lack of assistance and possibly, hope. Let us make their lives a little bit bearable by giving what we can.

Remember, every little bit counts.

Please pass this information to as many Globe subscribers you know since not all subscribers have their Globe Advisory alerts enabled. Many may not be aware of this yet. Thank you.

Basic SEO Kung Fu for The Newbie by the Newbie:

** The following post has been inspired by a commenter by the name of Lloyd, a soliloquist blogger from Davao. Thank you for your comment Lloyd. This post is my response to the question he raised in my post "So This Is How It Feels Like: Page Rank 3". I hope he finds this useful. **

Hi there! If you got to this post through a search in Google, please let me know by leaving your comments at the end of this post. I would appreciate it if you can tell me what keywords you typed as well. God knows I'm dying to hear that. And I'd faint instantly if I ever even see five, yes five comments confirming that. You see, more than anything known to me, I think this blog is more an experiment than an outlet of personal thoughts, opinions, reviews and frustrations. Of course, I'd like to believe that all I care about in terms of this blog is all the fun I get in telling "mini-stories" of my experiences that most likely don't matter to a lot of people (heck, maybe even to me..lol) but subconsciously, I feel that I also blog to test myself and see if "an old dog really is incapable of learning new tricks". For those of you still clueless as to Continue reading →

I honestly didn't think I'd figure out what exactly went wrong with my WordPress-powered blog that made this already invisible blog more invisible than it already is. As I've written in this post and in this post, the recent upgrade to WordPress 2.6 caused my blog to go down, down, down for at least three (3) days. The frequent "script-tinker" and "never-seem-to-be-content" person that I am had me thinking that it was my messing with the redirection script for mofuse.com that created a mobile-friendly version of my blog for those readers accessing via their mobile phones (as if there are any..*sigh*), has caused this problem. And for a while there, I actually told myself that I wouldn't mess with scripts anymore (at least for this blog). As I've lost hope in ever identifying the root cause of this "blank screen of death" as another blogger puts it, I've abandoned all interests to continue researching online or elsewhere. But as fate would have it, maybe reinstallation wasn't bad after all. Maybe it's what I really needed -- a fresh start, so I can see things clearer. Continue reading →

Weight loss and diet tips are all over the internet. Diet fads come and go. Sometimes they work, sometimes (oftentimes actually), they don't. In this podcast, I share with you what made me lose my stubborn extra pounds and how I keep them off. A warning though, I'm not a doctor, dietitian, or an expert in any medical field. Follow at your own risk. This may or may not work for you. I am posting it as a tip to other people who may want to give it a try. As for me, it's working fine.

This must be my lucky day. Well, I guess not really that lucky but few people I suppose would come across something as surprising as this. You see, I have Google's PR button installed on my browser courtesy of course of the Google Toolbar. It's very helpful for surfing because I can immediately tell the site's/page's relevance, at least in Google's point of view. I'm new to blogging and web site maintenance, so SEO and PR, although known to me, aren't the kind of stuff I spend time poring over..at least, not these past few weeks. As we all know, high PR is like a webmaster's/blogger's nirvana. So, imagine my surprise when after loading my first blog At A Loss for Words: Writings Of A Blogger Wannabe, I happen to have noticed something weird. PR7? On my blog??? what the? :) Continue reading →
