Why the RUSH??? Ponder some points...
Why are they so hard to feel? Why are they so hard to find?
Why is love, happiness and contentment cannot co-exist in harmony?
Truly, life is not always fair…
But in the end, you will realize that everything is just in your hands...
Grandma with Cancer at Age 67, Lives Until Age 85
My Grandma Lily is a fine and cheerful old lady. You will never see her wrinkled face without a trace of three or five smiles everyday. She dresses neatly and beautifully and at her age, she still smells sweet and fresh. I can remember that Grandma is fond of cooking and ballroom dancing. Grandma loves us, her family, so much, especially Grandpa. She is the most thoughtful and caring person I’ve ever known.
At age 67, Grandma was diagnosed with cancer and said to have only six months to one year the most to live. That time, at a young age of six years, I didn’t remember any worried expression on Grandma’s face. I remember that Grandpa, with his teary eyes, appears to be more frightened than anyone inside the hospital room. Grandma said, "Oh Philip, I hate to leave you like that. You know that I love dancing as much as you do. I know that you can never leave a day without my cooking. I love to dance, I love to cook, and most of all I love you." Even though, this times curing cancer is really a great challenge, Grandma said, "Philip, if these doctors can not cure me, I will cure myself! I will live further! I will not die ahead of you."
Grandma became more careful of the food she eats. She religiously followed the doctor’s advises and she prayed to God even more. Grandma told us that everyday, for the 6,556 days of her life, she thanks God because she is still living. She thanks God for all the people who are always there to support her and she thanks God that despite of the pain, she can still smile and makes other people smile.
I was then stubborn as a little girl. I always do naughty things to our pet dog Bernie. Sometimes, when I am in the mood, I destroy my toys so that Grandma will buy me new ones, and if she didn’t I will cry. I will cry forever, until Grandma feels guilty and give-in to my vices. However, Grandma never runs out of patience. My father is very lucky to have Grandma Lily as his mother.
Grandma died last year, at the 26th of May, the same exact date when she was born. She lived up to 85 inspiring years. Grandma taught me the value of life and love. I will never forget what she told me when I was only seven years old. She said, "ALWAYS love your family and friends because life is so short. Do not be afraid to let go of the persons whom you have loved so much. Instead, be afraid to let go of them whom you have loved less, regretting that you should have loved them more."

Increase Blog Taffic - How to Place Meta Tags in Blogger?
In this post, I will share to you the easiest but most effective tip on placing the meta tags in your blogger blog.
As mentioned in my previous blog post, meta tags are the invisible machine readable codes that is needed by many search engines for indexing. The chances that your blog will be displayed in the search engine results do not fully depend on the meta tags but also to other factors such as keyword rich contents, number of blog posts, back links, track backs, search engine submission and pings.
"Ok, ok... I already know that. Now, tell me the proper way of placing the meta tags in my blog!"
Ok, all right... here are the steps:
1. Go to your blog and "sign-in," of course
2. Click on Layout
3. Then go to edit HTML
4. Click on Expand Widget Template
5. Copy the meta tag generated by the meta tag generator
6. Click on the HTML portion of your blog and press Ctrl and F keys simultaneously, type head enclose it in <>, then press the enter key or click next
7. On top of the very first head code that you found, paste the meta tag
"Ooops...I already did that, but after clicking on save templates, I am getting an error message saying: Your template could not be parsed as it is not well-formed. Please make sure all XML elements are closed properly. XML error message: The element type "meta" must be terminated by the matching end-tag."
Yes, I know, for sure you will get this kind of error message, especially if you will simply paste the meta tag code, as generated by the meta tag generators. In this case, what you need to do is actually in step 8.
8. Don't click on save templates yet
9. Edit the meta tags
"What? Edit the meta tags? But, I don't know how!"
Then, you will know NOW!!!
10. Put a / sign just before every >, make sure that you will only do this for the meta tags, be careful not to touch the other codes.
11. For the title part of the meta tag, the one that has the specific code below, leave it as it is, you do not have to place a / anymore before the >, because the meta tag generator already placed the / before >. Observe the code below, the / sign is placed before title>.
12. Finally, click on save templates.
Did you make it or still lost?
If you made it? Yehey! I'm glad I was able to help!
Still lost? Oh my, what happened?
Please watch out for my next post...

Increase Blog Traffic - Analyze your Meta Tags with Meta Tag Analyzer
For instance, in this blog, my Google search engine place as of today, August 19, 2008, for my blog post entitled EMAIL SCAM # 4- GAMBLING APPROACH*, is number 10, although I didn't make it "yet" to the first place, at least in about two months time, I made it to the top 10.
Some might be wondering how I did it. Honestly, I did not spend a single dime to be displayed in top 10. But, I will admit that I spent a considerable amount of time and effort for it.
Let me share to you my secrets bit by bit. While it is important to mention the relevant "keywords" several times in your content, it also makes sense for you to incorporate the appropriate keywords in your meta tag, because many search engines directly refer to the meta tag for indexing.
I suggest that you visit the free meta tag analyzer under the free tools tab of submitexpress.com for you to have a free analysis of your blog's meta tag. Based on the analysis, you can correct the detected errors by your self.
Increase Blog Traffic! Meta Tag's Role in Search Engine Optimization
Anybody who wants to engage or is currently engaged in earning online needs to master the secrets of increasing their blog or website traffic. In increasing your traffic, submitting your blog url to various search engines is one thing, but making your blog fit for search engine indexing is another thing.
I am not an internet guru nor a technology expert but, I can share here some tips that you might find useful in optimizing your blog's search engine rankings.
Before submitting your blog url to the different search engines, be sure that you had placed the appropriate meta tag element in your blog or web pages. A meta tag is a hidden code placed in the section of your html page. The meta tag element is an HTML or XHTML element that provides information on your blog description and keywords. Many, yes many... because not all, search engines classify and scan or crawl the submitted blog based on the information associated with the meta tag.
If you want to increase the probability of your blog from being found by the search engines, you have to create a good title for your blog and incorporate the right meta tag element. However, as already mentioned, for some search engines meta tags do not really have a small relevance at all, because your blog can also be indexed based on its contents.
I will not go into the technicalities behind the meta tags. However, in order for us to take advantage of their importance , we need to know how we can integrate these elements in our blog.
Things would be much easier for us if we will use meta tag generators. Several websites offer free services related to meta tag generation. You may try to use the free meta tag generator of submitexpress.com. Go to the free tools tab, then click on meta tags generator.
After filling up the required fields, you should have a code is similar to the one below.
The words in red will depend on your blog title, description and keywords. On the other hand, those elements that are in blue, may or may not be changed. Anyway, when you go to the meta tag generator at submitexpress.com, you will be presented automatically with the appropriate meta tag for your blog according to the information that you will enter there.
To place the meta tag in BLOGGER, go to layout, click edit html, then click expand widgets. Paste the meta tag right above the code below.
Click save templates and that's it, you're done.
