State of the Nation Address of President Benigno S. Aquino III Full Transcript and Videos
- Image via Wikipedia
Here is the excerpt of President Noynoy Aquino’s State of the Nation Address (SONA) held at Batasang Pambansa just this afternoon (July 26, 2010).
Sa bawat sandali po ng pamamahala ay nahaharap tayo sa isang sangandaan.
Sa isang banda po ay ang pagpili para sa ikabubuti ng taumbayan. Ang pagtanaw sa interes ng nakakarami; at pagkapit sa prinsipyo; at ang pagiging tapat sa sinumpaan nating tungkulin bilang lingkod-bayan. Ito po ang tuwid na daan.
Sa kabilang banda ay ang pag-una sa pansariling interes. Ang pagpapaalipin sa pulitikal na konsiderasyon, at pagsasakripisyo ng kapakanan ng taumbayan. Ito po ang baluktot na daan.
Matagal pong naligaw ang pamahalaan sa daang baluktot. Araw-araw po, lalong lumilinaw sa akin ang lawak ng problemang ating namana. Damang-dama ko ang bigat ng aking responsibilidad.
Sa unang tatlong linggo ng aming panunungkulan, marami po kaming natuklasan. Nais ko pong ipahayag sa inyo ang iilan lamang sa mga namana nating suliranin at ang ginagawa naming hakbang para lutasin ang mga ito.
Sulyap lamang po ito; hindi pa ito ang lahat ng problemang haharapin natin. Inilihim at sadyang iniligaw ang sambayanan sa totoong kalagayan ng ating bansa.
Sa unang anim na buwan ng taon, mas malaki ang ginastos ng gobyerno kaysa sa pumasok na kita. Lalong lumaki ang deficit natin, na umakyat na sa 196.7 billion pesos. Sa target na kuleksyon, kinapos tayo ng 23.8 billion pesos; ang tinataya namang gastos, nalagpasan lang natin ng 45.1 billion pesos.

How To Get Massive Traffic To Your Blog Daily Part 1
This is the first part of the 3 part series consisting of 24 simple tips of getting massive traffic to your blog daily.
Blogging For Traffic Tip #1 – Create Original Content Of Significant Value
Content is king. If you have been in the Internet marketing scene for any period of time you would have heard this saying day in and day out. Every Internet marketing manual has this as it’s mantra and rightly so.
One of the biggest problems people have when blogging has nothing to do with the lack of traffic coming to their site. It’s a symptom of something more sinister. Bad content. Even worse then poorly written original content is content that is not original at all. This is the death bell for all blogs that want to be taken seriously.
You HAVE to have unique content. It is the lifeblood of blogging. Every other blog is lacking in original content, you have to be different.
Pay someone to write it if you have to.
Blogging For Traffic Tip #2 – Create Content That Gives People A Plan Of Action
Want to get people to not only read your blog but follow your word blindly and do your bidding for you? I kid you not, people will fall over themselves to do what you say if you do this. You just have to tell them what to do.
This is the greatest idea, especially if you are preselling an affiliate program via your blog.
Every one of your posts you write should give people an action that could be taken by the reader.
IE, every idea you give the reader, they should be able to go and implement in their business right away.
I’m not sure who I read this from but I remember reading that the best way to sell a product or an affiliate product, especially in the Internet marketing arena is to give them a plan that they can follow and implement straight away and then give them the resources to do that with.
A lot of people write ebooks or articles or blogs that are very informative but don’t really presell what they are trying to promote.

Easily submit your sites to web directories using free softwares!
Why is it important to list your website in web directories? Web directories were hot before the advent of search engines. Previously, people go to these directories to find quality websites, a potential referring traffic for web masters. However, these days, search engines made it easier for internet users to find what they’re looking for; directories were forgotten since then, sadly, even by webmasters.
SEO giants have long been stressing about the importance of building inbound links through web directories. Submitting your site to good and high-PR directories is one way of getting quality links that are highly valued by the search engines. Web directories are mainly human edited, thus a website must pass a strict criteria to get listed, hence quality links are only listed. These links are search engine friendly. Since they are organized in highly focused categories making them an invaluable resource for search engines to measure the quality and the relevance of a website.
Web directories are, thus, important not because they give direct referral traffic, but because they are given importance by the search engines to qualify and rank web pages and determine their relevance.

Googlebot Stopped Crawling My Sites
This has happened to me several times before. Even this blog has experienced this one of the worst nightmare a blogger could have. Good thing, Google has started indexing some pages of this blog again.
What happens when Googlebot stopped crawling sites? (This is based on my own observation.)
1. Of course, it would affect the indexing of your sites in Google search results.
2. Your new contents will not be indexed. (This post for example is not assured of getting it to Google index).

Make Firefox Load Faster – Optimization Tweaks, Tools, Tips and Extensions
- Image via Wikipedia
Recently, I had a problem with the loading time of my sites, including this one and it’s subdomains. I thought it was a host problem and posted a support question at their forums but the members said it loads pretty fast. I could not tell that it was due to the design of the site because I was not having this problem even before. So I tested it through Internet Explorer and this site loads faster, uh surprisingly. I totally forgot about Internet Explorer until I encountered this problem. So I am posting through IE when I am posting this one. 
Figuring out how this problem can be fixed, I found these quite useful links to optimize Firefox and make it loads faster.
