The Strategic Choice: SEO

The Internet has been my second home since its inception. The Philippines has been in the forefront of producing some of the world's best hackers, red hats, white hats, black hats; and network geniuses. This goes the same with the whole region and the market that this creates essentially needs to invest in full proof on line presence so people checking them out would be able to see them on great search engines. If you are being mentioned in one or more reputable web sites around the globe, then you have achieved Link Building power. This is important for any web site and essential for businesses if they depend heavily on clients from this medium. I invested a lot of time and words to have my own site to exist and this is the same concept that they employ also. Marketing strategies are continuing to evolve; none of which are only stuck on information commercials as seen on TV. This medium reaches a wider audience. If the plan is going out of the country, regional or even just off state markets, it would be easier to present a professional looking portfolio via the Internet. Did I say it costs quite less too?!

Getting cost efficient and a little prudent on spending is but a natural occurrence at these times. The government is also doing the same thing so business can stand up faster without compromising quality. Make a noteworthy choice in the marketing industry and invest in some steps that would be a better alternative than going direct to consumers. People after all are on line more these days and if you get to that audience more than those on free TV, print, cable or other media then it would be beneficial for your business. Making the right choice is crucial for the survival in these hard times. You know what to do so make sure you do it right, for all the good or bad reasons! Take it from me; I'm saving quite a remarkable amount because of it! SEO is the strategic thing to do!

Daily Rants 09012010

I'm continuing to discover some other bloggers in the metro and they are pretty good to me. Although most of these people are veterans, the new ones are all just as good. I've met some of them already and I must admit I am eager to meet more of them. I like some of their writing styles because it is somewhat unconventional. Mine's pretty much just like and essay everyday. I don't even know if it needs improvement or not but nobody's complaining. I hope! LOL!

Some of them are really funny. They are in Filipino and I often get it. I don't know why I started my site in English in the first place but I wished there was some way I could do another site in tagalog. Weird I know, but I think it's just me. I envy people sometimes ha-ha! After how many years of writing and I just said that here?! I must be crazy!

I also see some of their photos. I envy them because they talk about their everyday life. I still have some inhibitions letting people in my house let alone show them my room. I just feel its not safe. Stalkers and stuff are abound but I never got one. Must be because of me. I'm weird really!

I want a lot of things now, the IPAD, IPOD Touch, a Macbook, some decent headphones. Portable speakers, a second camera body, an UWA lens (preferably the Sigma 10-20), and a good tripod. The list might go on and bore you but I have that now on my Christmas list. I just put up a Christmas countdown on my website just in case you wanna know how many days hours and minutes left before you can get me those things. Ha-ha! I wish it was that easy. I can't talk about my work so much in my site because of confidentiality stuff, you know how it is these days... what stays in the boardroom STAYS THERE!

Saving money is like going down the drain now. I needed more money for home expenses. I don't know why but I'm losing funds now. I usually save more but I'm kinda spending so much these days because of groceries, utilities, Dad's medicines and other things. I want to complain but I think they are necessities. I wanna shout and stop spending but what can I do!

I need to go to the gym more... it was a good thing I did yesterday. It felt really good running again on the treadmill. I wanted to lift more weights but I wasn't into communicating with other people in the gym, I wish there was someway I could all ask them to go out when I'm working out. They are disturbing me! Shooo! Sorry, they smell bad!

I'll rant again soon, this will be something regular so watch out for it! =)

Real Deal HD Video for GMAIL Users!

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of faceVsion Technology USA. All opinions are 100% mine.

I work for a VOIP network company and I know how important it is for video conferencing capabilities not to fail when you need it. Services like these cost a lot and if you depend on them too much it would probably be way off the budget. We wouldn't want to see quality to degrade if we get other brands but I got first hand information on what would be a better alternative than the pricey RADVISION, POLYCOM or TANDBERG. Have you heard of faceVsion?! This is the best and most affordable high quality High Definition Video conferencing solution for all GMAIL users. FV Express Combo makes no excuses for streaming HD video unlike other ones like what MSCINEMA or LOGITECHPRO 9000 has. I would prefer this above those big pricey ones that do not show the real deal HD resolution they promise. The H.264 protocol compliant chip set built in on every FV Express Combo gets true HD quality video calls over Internet even with low system and bandwidth requirements. It's one of the best things that FACEVSION Technology USA has ever produced! I'm so impressed!

If you have some other things in mind that would be better than the FV Express Combo HD Video Conferencing solution, you must be dreaming. The others couldn't even fare with its ability to import and synchronize your GOOGLE GMAIL contact list for HD Video Conferencing. The FV Express Combo product image has never been tarnished and so do the hundreds of people who harnessed this technology. They also have an ongoing promotion also at the faceVision on line store taking out $10 off any purchase. You just have to put in the promo code of FVTBTS2 while checking out. Promo ends September 30, 2010 so hurry now! Visit shop.facevsion.com and other value added partners!

More Graveyard More Fun!

It looks like a ruckus today in the office. A lot of people apparently have work these days and a couple of interviews with clients. Business seems booming at this side of the corporate world I live in. It's so fun now... I remember it was only me who was here on Sundays. Now, it looks like we're around 20. Weird! Heheh...I am also getting a lot of feedback with my photos. The model apparently likes it and made it her profile photo too. I wonder what the other photographers think of my overprocessed ones. Well I did try minimal retouching but the make up was really showing so I had to cover it up bigtime.
I also made this at night which made me a little sleepy at times. But I think I did a pretty good job shooting it. Just look at how pretty she is!
I like how the photos turned out. The ultra red treatment on the umbrella was a little painstaking. I also had to work on that and the branches. Some of the hairlight was flooding over to the face and I had to remove that. The oversaturation on parts of the body was also showing so I had to clone that up and heal so it would look natural. I did rework that hairline edge so don't worry I gave a clearer one to the model. Did it work?! =)

She's so pretty noh?! I'll show you her full set soon. I'm excited! =)
