I believe Cattski Espina is a great singer and at the same time composer. I’ve been inspired to each lyrics of her songs. I only saw her perform live once in Ayala Terraces some time last December and it made me admire her more.

Come and join us in celebrating TEN Years of Cattski to be held at The Outpost on March 20, 2010 Saturday at 8PM. This also includes her Album Launching and Live Recording.

Everyone is invited! See you guys there!

Earth Hour started in 2007 in Sydney, Australia when 2.2 million homes and businesses turned their lights off for one hour to make their stand against climate change. Only a year later and Earth Hour had become a global sustainability movement with more than 50 million people across 35 countries participating. Global landmarks such as the, Sydney Harbour Bridge, The CN Tower in Toronto, The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, and Rome’s Colosseum, all stood in darkness, as symbols of hope for a cause that grows more urgent by the hour.

Earth Hour is organized by WWF. With almost 5 million supporters and a global network in over 100 countries, it’s one of the world’s largest and most respected independent conservation organizations. WWF’s mission is to stop the degradation of the Earth’s natural environment and build a future where people live in harmony with nature.

Earth Hour has done a lot to raise awareness of climate change issues. But there’s more to it than switching off lights for one hour once a year. It’s all about giving people a voice on the future of our planet and working together to create a sustainable low carbon future for our planet.

And for this year, please mark your calendars!  Earth Hour will take place on March 27, 2010 (8:30PM to 9:30PM). As member of the Cebu Bloggers Society, along with the other active members, we will help in spreading awareness about this campaign through blogging.

Aside from being a delicious snack with fruits on the bottom, yogurt has great health benefits. It is an excellent source of protein, calcium, riboflavin and vitamin B 12. When yogurt is compared to milk, yogurt contains more calcium and protein because of the added cultures in the yogurt. Yogurt must contain active and living cultures to be yogurt. Cultures are composed of unique living microorganisms which are responsible for many of the health and nutritional benefits of yogurt. Now I don’t have to enumerate all the health benefits of yogurt, do I?

Sa Ngalan sa Amahan is a Cebuano play inspired from Sa Ngalan ng Ama by Roberto Jose de Guzman, a Palanca Award winning play for Literature. The play revolves around the tragic story of a family ruined by the autocratic ways of the father. The story takes place within the old household of the Villasante’s. It tackles highly important and relevant political and social issues discussed in the family setting, society’s most basic unit and very foundation.

The story stresses the importance of family relations and how the country is shaped by the families composing it. Conflicts in the story do not only revolve around the family members but also involve the greater circles of the Philippine society. The lives and views of each of the family members carefully reflect the facets of our society.

A Reblog from: Sa Ngalan Sa Amahan: A Cebuano Stage Play

Please read carefully then apply correctly ….

A philosophy says “Honesty is the Best Policy (Honesty is the political / best strategy),” is what we will prove …. whether honesty concept we can use to generate traffic and more intense popularity beyond the concept of complex expert webmaster or SEO expert ..?… I believe we will achieve that goal if this concept is running properly …, and if this concept is applying in your web according to the rules, by then:
-Your Web will be swamped with huge traffic visitors day by day, without fuss or tired of the SEO campaign to a lot of web in the internet world.
-Your Web will be flooded huge backlink day by day, without fuss hunt link to a lot of web in the internet world.

If Albert Einstein use the equation E = mc2 to combine mass potential and speed of light to create extreme nuclear energy , then we will use equation = V1 + V2 to combine my web potential and your web potential to generate extreme web traffic and popularity also .

If Einstein use atom plutonium and uranium to make nuclear bombs, then we use the Honesty and accuracy to make a bomb of this traffic and popularity concept.

What do you need to do is follow these steps:

1. Create a post articles as I post this, or copy-paste this post from Copy start here until Copy Finish, and also be entitled: t = V1 + v2, How to increase traffic and popularity quickly and naturally.

2. Copy or make the next powerful sentence existing under the number 3 plug at this website on your part to section that most easily seen by visitor, for example at the top of the sidebar

3. Move or change a link or the url address post (here-1) with your url address, and (here-2) with my URL address post,to find out url address of the post that I make and that you make is to click the title / post title than we make this copy of the address bar.

Next is the post of “powerful sentence” you need to install in your web part (after the change in the url link to its corresponding provisions of the above)

“Want to increase visitor traffic and your web popularity quickly and unlimited …? Let me …, I’ll do it for you FREE …!.. Click here-1 and here-2”

-So after the powerful sentence is put on the your web then : if a visitor click the link here-1 he will directly to your link post, and if he click here-2 will directly link to my post … and this is just keep going unbreakable chain link.

4. Finish, prepare tracker counter and link checker for example sitemeter and Technorati to see a flood of traffic and your web backlink

What is t = V1 + t2 …?
t: Number of traffic that will be you get on your web in a day
V1: The number of visitors to your web in a day
v2: Number of visitors of the V1 (a visitor from your web visitors) in a day.

Traffic:
For example, my web or your website in one day have an average of 50 visitors .., and all of this we apply the concept (powerful sentences) correctly, and that 50 people from each of 50 people also have visitors from his blog , then the web we will visit in a 50 plus 50 x 50 people on that day = 2550, and will also likely continue to increase day by day, because every day there are always new visitors in the internet world, each day also have a new blogger, or web internet in the world … PROVE IT!

Popularity:
For example, our web visitors have 50 people in a day, and everyone implement this concept, then in the web that day you will get 100 linkback to your website, a link on Powerful sentence and a link on the link in my multiply 50. and will likely continue to increase day by day ….

Why the need to create links and link your link on my post …?
… this is to maintain our link eternity, because as we get more links in the post less likely erased ….

Can we do not fair or not fair sabotage this concept, for example, “remove all links of origin” and fill in the web / blogs we own …? …. Yes, and this concept will not prove to be a maximum of Honesty is a strategy / political answer ….. But I believe that we all want to throw themselves credibility by making such action cheap …

Well, what do you think about this formula? Go ahead and practice on your blog and hope that this strategy is successful
