When I was younger, there was a time when my parents had me learn and memorize a new word from the dictionary every single day. When they got home from work, I would need to prove that I learned a new word by telling them a sentence using the new word that I have learned. I believe this was sometime during my primary schooling (elementary) days. This training did not last forever of course but I did learn a lot from it.

English is not my first language but my second. Thus there are still a lot of words that I am unfamiliar with and that would require me to look for its meaning. Since the advent of the internet, a lot of petty everyday tasks has been automated and that includes looking for the meaning of a word in the dictionary. So how do I do it?

Type this command in the Google input box:

define:[word]

Just replace [word] with the actual word you are interested in.

Google will do the job for us. Google will look for the meaning of the word we have put into the input box from the various online dictionaries available and will present it to us in a neat formatted page. Thank you Google.

I am taking this a step further by creating a page in my blog which I have entitled “Dictionary“. Some of you might think that this is useless because I am reinventing the wheel. But that is not my purpose. I created this new page so that I can track my progress. A year from now, I can count how many new words I learned within that time span.

So there you have it, that is the reason why I have a new page and I would like to say that out loud so that I have a new blog post ready for the Google spiders to devour.

So it is already the second month of the new year and yet I am setting goals only now? Well, as they say better late than never I guess it is not too late to set goals to improve this blog since it is just the start of the year. So what do I have in mind?

I plan on making this blog “stronger” and more relevant in the face of the search engines so that anything I right will get serious consideration from them. Good enough? For me it is. Here is how I plan on doing it:

1. Write more often to build more content. Right now I am think of writing at least one post per day for five days every week.
2. Find more blogs to connect with so that the blog gets interconnected more. Other than the obvious advantage of having a link from another site connect to this site to get more traffic, there are a lot more advantages in terms of SEO which I will not discuss here
3. Submit my blog to blog directories for more exposure.
4. Write helpful posts and not just ramblings. This way, my blog reader count will rise as well.

So I guess that’s it for now. If I think of anything else I will just update this post.

This is just a quick post.

Many say that 2010 is not only the start of a new year but also a start of a new decade. It is true that we are having a new year but starting a new decade is entirely false. We do not have year 0 and as such the first year of a decade always starts with a _ _ _ 1.

Thus, the decade we are living in started on 2001 and will end this year 2010. 2011 will be the start of the 2nd decade of the 21st century.

I am selling my PC which I seldom use. I bought this PC last year and is in good condition. Actually, I bought it for my then fiance who is now my wife. Now that we are already living together, there is no use in having a laptop and a PC. We could both use the laptop at different times. She uses it in the morning while I use it the whole day after that lolz.

Price: P11,999

Here are the specs of my PC:

Hi there! This is my first post on this blog. This would be my personal blog from now on as my other personal blog (Phawville) has been converted into a news site inadvertently.

Like other personal blogs, I will cover pretty much everything under the sun as I see fit posting. By the way, I am using a free theme from WPThemeDesigner and would like to thank Chiq for that.

As you can see, this blog still needs a lot of tweaking. I’ll be updating the logo, removing the sponsors and others that don’t match what I like.
