Blog From Cebu To The World

I have this problem that bugged me since last week. I can’t access Google. Is this one of those love-hate thingie that bloggers and internet-huggers have with Google? I love Google for gmail, blogspot and adsense. Of course there is the webmasters’ tools and the useful analytics. I once hated Google for taking away my PageRank, and for my very slow earnings. But this latest problem accessing Google puzzled not just me but our IT guy as well when I first referred it to him.

There are plenty of Pinoy SEO experts and enthusiasts these days, unlike a year ago when most of the bloggers I know were simply personal bloggers, and the method used to increase readership is thru building relationships with other like-minded bloggers. I say I miss those days. But blogging has evolved and the number of bloggers had increased exponentially in which expression and content are not the only things that matter for the blogger.

All ended well for Manny Pacquiao. He achieved a very rare feat in boxing history, brought glory to this ailing country, and cashed-in plenty to the envy of the many. The 9th round demolition of his tough foe, David Diaz, shows that Manny is the best boxer to have come from Asia.

History

Manny made history as the first Asian to win four titles in four weight divisions. 8 other boxing greats achieved this feat before. He started his championship rampage as a flyweight 10 years ago, moved up and captured the super bantamweight, super featherweight and lightweight belts.

Sometimes I wish that some free Wi-Fi signal reach our home so that I can this blog at the comfort of our home. Maybe not tonight, but I really hope it will happen sooner.

Max Limpag wrote in his blog (and published in today’s Sunstar) that the Municipality of Argao has a free Wi-Fi access at its plaza. It is made possible through the effort of its municipal government who wants to give tourists and residents access to the world wide web. Argao is located some 66kms south of Cebu and is famous for its beaches (including Argao beach Club), Mt. Lantoy (Maria Cacao legend) and the hometown of retired SC Chief Justice Hilario Davide. It is also my paternal grandmother’s hometown.
