Better SEO Linking

Let’s face it. If you have a web site, you want to attract lots of visitors. That’s probably why you’re reading this post right now. Well, guess what? I found ten more tips on how to improve your site’s SEO standings.

Most: The Movie

Was browsing through the site of Fr. Stephen Cuyos (www.StephenCuyos.com), and saw in his sidebar a featured video.
Check out Most: The Movie, which was nominated for Best Live-Action Short.
I was struck by the way the video below made use of just music. No words. No spoken words, that is. Watch the power of text, music, […]

Hunahunang Layaw

Mga Hunahanang Layaw (translated: Random Thoughts) caught my eye because part of the lyrics of a Visayan song my dad taught me recently is the word “huna-huna” (mind/thoughts).
And my curiosity was rewarded, because the MHL blog has an entry which features a song sung in Bisaya: Bato Balani Sa Gugma (Gozos Sa Novena Sa Sto. […]

Komikero Video Channel

Gerry Alanguilan launches his Komikero Video Channel at http://bidjo.blogspot.com
I like the name he chose: BIDJO
It sounds like the Tagalog word for “video”, yet it’s spelled colloquially. It’s as if I could hear him say the word, along with a very Pinoy accent. A similar example would be: Dibidi-dibidi.
I like watching Gerry’s videos, because […]

Philippines 2010 Elections

Janette Toral writes about important issues regarding the coming Philippines 2010 Elections, and invites you to share your thoughts on what is important to you.
I wish I could participate meaningfully. Anyway, off the top of my head (though not necessarily in order of importance):

Alternative Energy
Housing
Education
Healthcare

Ack. Political blogging? Am feeling awkward.

May Gitago Kong Pagbati

Here’s another Visayan song, again thanks to Robert Petines and his friends in the early 1960s…
May Gitago Kong Pagbati (I Have A Secret Feeling)
May gitago kong pagbati
Alang ‘day gayod kanimo
Ang kahadlok ray nagalabi
Nga balibaran mo
Daw sayun ang pagpahayag
Kadako sa huna-huna
Mga hanaw lang ang pulong ko
Sa atubangan mo
Sa akong mga damgo
Gikaloy-an mo ako
Tinuod ba kini
Nga ako […]

Nabilanggo Ako

Got hold of some of the lyrics of Nabilanggo Ako, a Visayan song Roberto Petines (from Manila) learned in the early 60s from drinking buddies in the Visayas.
Nabilanggo Ako (I Was Imprisoned)
Nabilanggo ako sa gugma mo
Tul-tuli ako ngadto sa dalan
Nga wala’y kalisdanan.
Init ug ulan gi-antos ko kining tanan
Wa mo tagda kay wa ka man nahigugma
Mag-unsa […]

Living Together Blog

The Living Together Blog tells of the journey of married couple Althea and Armand Tan. Thea hails from Iloilo, while Armand was born in Cambodia.
Exciting, right?
Check out their photo gallery, where you’ll be amazed with the quality of their photos, or where you’ll be envious of the many places they’ve traveled to. Must. […]

Chova N Chorvalyn

Chova N Chorvalyn (http://chovanchorvalyn.wordpress.com) is a funny blog written in Filipino / Tagalog by Lawrence Fernandez.
Catch a glimpse of Philippine culture through the eyes of someone interested in Philippine politics, television and showbiz.
Speaking of politics and history, seven years ago from January 17 - 20, we experienced EDSA Dos. There was no People Power celebration/commemoration […]
