For the past two weeks I’ve been working on a directory that ranks the top 100 blogs in the Philippine blogosphere. Called Ratified.org, it gathers data from Technorati and ranks blogs according to the number of incoming blog links. From an SEO standpoint, links are a measure of importance of a website or blog. It’s always easy to read a blog than actually link to it, right? Linking to someone’s blog means I’m giving it my stamp of approval. It’s like putting up a sign saying, “Read this blog, it rocks!” Imagine that a thousand similar signs have been put up on other blogs. That should mean something!

There are many other areas such as traffic, number of subscribers, niche and content that also determine relevance. Although Ratified.org focuses mainly on links and a bit on feed subscribers, I think it’s a reliable barometer on how well your blog is doing. If your blog isn’t ranked in the top 100, it can still be found through the search engine or the tag cloud. If it hasn’t been ratified, go here to submit your blog. Features include separate sections for the top rank gainers and losers for both Technorati and Ratified.org, as well as the most popular blog feeds according to Feedburner data.

If you liked Ratified.org please blog about it! To sweeten the deal, all those who do will be linked to on this post.

Thanks to Google Country Consultant Aileen Apolo for being the very first to blog about Ratified.org!

Credit goes to Abe for inspiring the whole idea of Ratified.org.

A typical hometown girl dreams of changing her life from miserable to glamourous girl. A story of a town girl who dreamed of becoming a flight attendant. Who believes that dreams never fade away. Yet, all the possibilties were open. And she grabbed one for her own.  

Inspirational and contradicting in a sense that it makes us think that everyone deserves second chance. And having that second chance gives an opportunity of opening that door that had never been opened. And it’s matter of time and decision. Looking back at our sense that everything has a credit to live for. 

The movie Accidental husband isn’t just comedy but also a lesson that most husband would think of. It’s something that husbands out there should value.

It might mingle you and your wife watching it. Because it’s exciting and funny. It’s pleasant and at the same time ironic. But it was just place in the last part.

The reason why I picked this movie. Because I have a friend who’s working on the radio station. And his a newlywed guy. And I want him to watch the movie so that he can relate to it. It’s humourous and likeable movie. So prepare to watch.

[I was buffled about the fact that… Why is it that University of Immaculate Conception is not on the list. UIC is one of the best schools in Region XI. And yet, no one did noticed that. Well I think the schools needs more improvement to be a topnotcher.But will you believe that rumour has it that the only school that will only exist in the Philippines is UP and others…. I don’t think so.]

This year the movie twilight made a lasting impression over the movie. It sincered from everyone and has stayed over a month in the movie review.

It’s a mixture of gothic and new sense of vampire movie. It’s different from any other movie that was shown months before it was released.  

 

Blogging is a personal journal written in informal type. Of course, it’s best if the writer is a mind boggler.

 

 A person can embark more than just writing. It also make more of an experience from other people. Simply, writing is more of an adventure. It welcomes everyone in your life and surpasses every challenge you can surpass.

The impact of blogging changed the interface of my life. It made me different, felt more he real me. And its a real deal. Not just for writing but for the experience of letting go what deep inside. Knowing more who I am. And that realization took place of changing the real image of me.  Not just fixing the lost pages of my past. It also divert my way of knowing others.

 

Writing is a passion I should’ve continued before I met the people behind my real change. It should’ve been earlier before I would realize the mistakes I have made. As long as writing is little of my interest. I still have to nurture what’s deep inside of me. It unveiled the package of my life. And now, blogging has fulfilled the pages that was once lost. It will not be forever. But for as long as the impact is real. Change will never be fold. It will always be a part of me. Every single day of my life.

I began using the computer in  my entire life. I have used it since grade 1. I appreciated the use of the computer in my life. It is something related in my hobby. And it is something I want to improve. Not just the user interface level. But I want to engage more of using it.

And that’s the main reason why I took up IT. IT is not just information and technology. It always updates people around the world. In business firms, huge companies and more… And I think IT suites for me. Because I can relate more about the subjects not just the computer itself but everything that is related to the topic. It’s interesting and more challenging to have this course. Except for the fact that we haven’t touched the <!– /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-parent:""; margin:0in; margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";} @page Section1 {size:8.5in 11.0in; margin:1.0in 1.25in 1.0in 1.25in; mso-header-margin:.5in; mso-footer-margin:.5in; mso-paper-source:0;} div.Section1 {page:Section1;} –> programming so I still have no idea what I am into. 

 It’s better to explore more about computers because you’ll get to be face-to-face with the computer on hand. And learning it would be really fun. Most would’ve quit the subject but for others it’s more of a series of challenges. That’s why I prefer BSIT. It’s not just the heart of computing we’re learning here. That also includes the environment and fundamentals skills you can apply on it.

I went on to college to make a better career for my future. To make a living and deal with my work more seriously. But honestly, did I ever had a glimpse of how my 1st’s in college.

Of course, it’s exciting to take a glimpse of my past few months in my 1st’s in college. 

First few days… things were creeping me out a little. It’s not just me but everyone else. I’m still new to the environment of a new level. A college student abide by the rules and steps in withe the rules. And I briefed myself before coming into class. I greeted everyone with a smile and made new friends. I first met Mark, Jenny and Jassen. And they were great to be with. I also appreciate there company and love to hang out with them. Of course, computer subjects interests me most. I love the way my new professors teach. There teaching technique is new and something that is fresh from the box. They are very wit and keen with there sense(it’s the very first thing I have observed). And it’s an improvement for me. Because I can get to learn the basics of the computer.

And things get out off hand. When the Midterm’s approaching. everyone was very busy and has no time for anything else. I belong to those people who crams up for the exams. Because it’s something that I never get used to. Something that I was still acclimatizing. And yet, I did every assignments, projects and essays, with great effort.

At last, "The finals". Everyone did a great job doing things on place. And had cooperated with everybody. Before doing steps. Everything should be polished. And then, everyone realized that it was this hard. I had accepted the fact that though its difficult. Its something I was born to do. It is to be challenged and fight. Everyone was like giving up and I did encouraged them not to stop and do it with an easy mind.

Dream is something that we can make to change and reach out from our own abilities. It’s something that we really want to attain. Something that we are really craving for…

Since, childhood I have always dreamed of being a nurse. Following up with my brother’s footsteps. Except for the fact that he’s a doctor. I wanted to be a nurse to be able to help my family, assist my brother and help more people. It’s not just working for other people. But the principle that you can benefit is that it makes you feel better by helping people. You can make them feel so relieved. But several years after having most of my puberty changes.

Ever since, I got out from being a kid. I am more aware of my current environment. And have accepted the fact that their is nothing special about my skills. I am no talented person but good thinking comes along the way.

I have always dream of becoming a leader, someday. And that is to be a manager. It has been always my dream since I am a huge dreamer. I’ve dreamed of it more often. The one who manages time delicately and with great effort of leading people. It’s not because I can’t do anything other than playing pc games. But it’s something I have been wanting for longer than my parents would even know.

I am into business related things. And I want to organize plans, decision making, traveling and doing things promptly. Something out of hand and something out of proportion. It’s great to be famous like Judy Ann Santos did. All I wanted is to be someone someday. Like a typical person who makes a daily living. Nothing more nothing less than wanting to go abroad. Live my life to the fullest and travel to Paris someday.

 

Hope is something that we need to find ourselves for some particular reasons. Hope makes people ask for something that they’re waiting for…

 

Outside you will see that every person in this planet is waiting for hope. Hoping that things will change, hoping that things will remain the same and hoping that things will be normal again. But reality works old tricks and things will never change. Events happens once. It will never be repeated or rewind. 

You will see in every person in this world wishes to be happy and hope will resolute problems. But as I see it. People are changing there own pace. And sometimes for the things they ask and hope. People tend to think that whenever its right its enough to make it right. 

I have met this old woman on a jeep. I actually don’t know her name but I know there is something wrong. Seeing her in that kind of disposition makes me feel horrible myself. Because you can actually see that there is something inside that she wants to tell. And so, my curiosity aroused. I asked her unbendingly, “Is something wrong ma’am?”. It’s obvious because she sat in front me. “I have a cancer”, she replied sadly. Then I froze for a moment like something struck me that hard. After moments later, I comforted her, instead because I can’t do anything. But in her eyes I can see that hope is still in there. Waiting to be found and waiting to be unveiled. And that’s how I realized that I found a hope in her
