I could not work, sleep or do anything with this blistering heat.

I played Tennis last Sunday while it was drizzling and now I got an irritating colds. Air-conditioned rooms doesn’t give me any relief.

Vitamin C, Calamansi juice and Malunggay soup did help though.

When will they ever launch the reflective mirrors to space? How can I contribute to ease global warming? When will our car have air as fuel? When will we ever learn?

Too bad I already discontinued my Canadian immigration application 3 months ago. I love working here in the Philippines but now I’m thinking twice. They say Canada would be the most fertile land once global warming is in full effect. Philippines will be a waste land or should I say under the sea! I need to update my passport soon, Siberia might be open for immigrants anytime.

Betting if global warming will happen or not will lead you to this terrifying argument. It’s like gambling if there is a God or not. If you bet there is, then either way you win. If you bet there isn’t, then you lose big time when there is.

1. Anticipate upcoming big events because google adsense is all about traffic. Watch TV and try to predict which upcoming shows will have mass media appeal.

2. Identify people who has the potential of becoming famous in the future.
Example: I knew of a boxer ( Edwin Valero ) who has the skills to beat Paquiao and yet nobody is talking about him because he can’t fight in the US. The term ‘Edwin Valero’, is easy to optimize and you might hit jackpot once he will have a chance to fight Pacquiao. Right now I’m on page 2 on google with a crappy site that has only 3 back links to it .

Another is to look for upcoming amateur athletes, entertainers, singers etc… and just create a single blog post about them then optimize that page by adding 3-4 back links to it. If you have anticipated Charice Pempengco last year then you could have a steady stream of income for years to come.

3. Target audience who don’t have much idea what adsense is. The medical field and entertainment (showbiz) industry are examples

4.Learn how to program in PHP, Ruby or Python etc… Automate your processes. To explain this is quite long and might need it’s own article. Bottom line, focus on long tail keywords and misspelled commonly used words.

5. Target 3-4 letter words that are not found in the dictionary but has very high traffic. You will need the help of Google Trends to search for those words. Right now, one of the letter combinations Im targetting is PRC . I hope you’ll try to look for other letter combinations and not compete with me on this term - might as well help me.

6. This is the most important… you must know how to optimize keywords.

So what did I do on February 21st that earned me much in adsense?

4 months ago I optimized for this keyword –> Nursing Board Exam Results December 2007

That’s it.

St Peter: ‘I’m calling this urgent meeting to let you know that …’
St Peter: ‘A couple on earth is pleading ,again , for an angel to be their child.’
St Peter: ‘I’m looking for a volunteer who is willing to give up her wings’
St Peter: ‘They were asking for such for three years now, and this year they have passed with flying colors.’
St Peter: ‘I guess it’s now time to bless them’

Angel A : ‘But St Peter, we don’t have much baby angels left! ‘
Angel A : ‘The world has been asking too much and we have already assigned some angels to act as guardian angels’
St Peter : ‘This is urgent, as a special mission will be granted to this child!’
St Peter : ‘We need to find one!’

Angel B : ‘What special mission St Peter?’

St Peter : ‘You will know in time’
St Peter : ‘I made Father Fernando Suarez an instrument for this blessing.’
St Peter : ‘He will bless this child.’
St Peter : ‘Now , all I need is a volunteer!’
St Peter : ‘The task won’t be easy but you will surely be guided by our Almighty’

Angel C : ‘But St Peter, we had seen the world and all the cruelty, greed, corruption and deceit.’
Angel C : ‘We don’t want to be part of it. We love staying here.’

St Peter : ‘You must know that all of you will be going to the world one day and there are good things to be had on earth. We need somebody who is ready now.’

After a short lull moment an angel at the back of the crowd raised her hands.

Angel Yela : ‘St Peter, I would like to volunteer’

Everybody froze in silence.

St Peter : ‘And are you aware of the sacrifices you’ll have to undergo?’
Angel Yela : ‘I have thought of going to the world for quite sometime already and I guess it is time.’

St Peter paused and reflected for a few seconds.

St Peter : ‘Well then, let it be known that Angel Yela had accepted the task. Tomorrow you’ll be sent out to the world’
St Peter : ‘and today will be the last day that you will have your wings.’

And a year later she’s here !

The variety of Maki was a feast to the eyes that’s why I tasted each. It was the first time I ate black seaweeds(wakame) and it was a delight. The soup, at the middle of the picture above, tasted like soft boiled eggs mixed with vegetables and spices, to flavor, and I loved it. I’m a sashimi addict and the tuna served was exquisite though I find the wasabe not too strong for my taste. There were homemade ice cream and fruits as well.

I regret my wife was not with me during that time. She enjoys Japanese food as I do. But nevertheless it was a dinner worth remembering.

Anxious but excited.

But no, it’s not the end of life of PHP 4 but rather it is simply retiring. After more than 7 years of service, PHP 4 now deserves a break.

a) Car steering wheel growing with molds

b) or a tennis racket not having grip tape replacement for months.

Neither were true, the steering wheel of my car is always under the heat of the sun, thus inhabitable by molds, and I replace grip tape once a week.

I hear this a lot from my Lola that when palms are itchy something good, very good, is coming.

I’ll just continue with daily stuff not expecting any fortune to come by. But once it’s realized we’ll have a fiesta and everyone is invited.

Yes I was conceived on July 20!

How did I know? Well, it’s also the birthday of my brother and he just turned one year old during that lucky day and the party went on through the night.

Happy birthday Bingbong
