It wasn't an easy win for the Lakers since everybody knew that it is Boston's homecourt. One of the factors why teams playing outside of their homecourt&amp;nbsp; tend to lose is the boost of fans. It is the Celtics' homecourt advantage but am damn proud that the Lakers didn't mind the advantage. It just proves that Lakers is still the best team on the NBA! And they are versatile and skilled at playing as one. Cheers Lakers! High and Mighty!

People right now often do find spas relaxing especially the ladies. Others find time to go to the beach when they have their leisure time to destress. Life as of the moment is a lot stressful and we do get old from all of the stresses. Good thing that with the fast paced life, there are new experts in handling products for beauty and wellness, products that are rich in antioxidant, and anti aging creams. Girls are the ones that are really into these regimens, but boys are also following their lead since this time, everything is equal! One product specialist for this is Oxis, they offer different products for beauty and wellness, products that are rich in super antioxidant called L- Ergothioneine. One product for example is their glutathione that are very in demand nowadays, and penny stocks &amp;amp; free radicals. These are just samples of their products.

At first, money making wasn’t really my top priority when I started blogging, I wanted to prove something for myself that time and then later on I learned about making money while blogging, so I said why not try it, I won’t lose anything somehow( well I was wrong, dead wrong).  I have established a good rapport to some bloggers whom later on became friends, they were the one who influenced me to write paid posts.. So it was a win-win situation! I also learned some tips about getting good backlinks from credible websites whose page ranks are greater than 3. It’s hard to built a blog with pagerank  greater than three so be contented with a pagerank of 3 when you are still a starter, a pagerank of 3 can go a long way in terms of paid posts, believe me. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I have managed to get some good backlinks through commenting on other bloggers’ blog posts, posts that have quality content, now the result to this is a little bit slower than you think, it will take up to about 3-4 months before you can see the changes, but I believe this is a much better work than having that PR Storm that people are talking about. I don’t want to cause any untoward incidents for your blog nor for mine. PR Storm is a little bit overrated perse for starters  and  as they say, slowly but surely! You can also check this site out, hopefully it can help you. It teaches everyone a step by step method  about getting good backlinks. Another one is your blog post quality of content which I believe is of importance to SEO or Search Engine Optimization, you can google about SEO if you want, there are tons of posts about it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Well, as for me I am greatly honored to have had a few blogs that have reached pagerank 3 before until such time google changed thier criteria for giving out pageranks, I was the lucky few to have had got a staggering pagerank of zero for both of my sites - that happened early 2008. I think what happened before was that of carelessness and selfishness. I was eager to accept paid posts so much that I didn’t mind what will occur in the next few months for my blog. That’s life, sometimes you just have to sacrifice something in order for you to learn your lesson. and that lesson takes place in a later period that might cause so much trouble on you, a person, or a thing. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;That incident really made me swore not to blog anymore, but I’m still here! I’m still here because I love blogging and the benefits I can get from it, building friendship, expanding my network, rant about my silly old life, and of course earn a little bit of money. hahaha. So go on, start commenting on blog posts like this one I sure love to hear you out! :P&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2742959372911417442-294422991297405804?l=flipnidus.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://flipnidus.blogspot.com/feeds/294422991297405804/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2742959372911417442&amp;postID=294422991297405804' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2742959372911417442/posts/default/294422991297405804'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2742959372911417442/posts/default/294422991297405804'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://flipnidus.blogspot.com/2010/03/increasing-your-backlinks.html' title='Increasing Your Backlinks'/><author><name>Janus</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OA-38axqbbc/STSoYvjrJsI/AAAAAAAAADc/qcIeQJ_-HPI/S220/1_953674767l.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2742959372911417442.post-5511255811486794134</id><published>2007-12-09T21:26:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2010-05-06T11:03:21.246+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='philippines'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='life'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='davao'/><title type='text'>Difference of a Davaoeño</title><content type='html'>This was from a friend Yukki Gallardo…, I kinda liked it, so I posted it in here… &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;How can one distinguish a Davaoeño from a Cebuano? Or to a Cagayanon? Difficult? Easy! Davaoeños are one of the most unique people in the world. We can easily stand out if we are placed in a crowd of Filipinos from other parts of the country. And how, you say? Language.&lt;/div&gt;Davao City, aptly called the melting pot of cultures, is home to many dialects. Tagalog, Cebuano, Ilonggo, Ilocano, Chavacano, Moslem, Bicolano. Name it, we’ll speak it. If the Filipino language is a composition of all the dialects and languages in the Philippines, you might as well say that the language we speak in Davao City is the real Filipino language, and not Tagalog. However, since it is hodgepodge of different tongues, it is sometimes funny to hear our language “bastardizing” for a lack of better word, the other dialects. Strangely, that distinguishes us from the rest. Try these… &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;In stating a fact:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Manileños say: &lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;“Talagang mabait si Weng”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;In Davao, we say:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;“Mabait bitaw gyud si Weng”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Too assertive?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;One asks,  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;“Ano nga yung pangalan mo?”&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;In Davao we say, &lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;“Ano gani yong pangalan mo?”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;When somebody commits mistake or surprises someone, we always never fail to say &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;“Halaka! Duh!”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;We are fond of re-constructing the language.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;There’s the GI + verb, such as “Gisabi kasi ni Helen na mag-absent si Bernard bukas” or “Ginanon”. You’ll never find “ginanon” in any language in any dictionary, I swear…&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;There’s      the KA + Adjective, as in, “Kaputi gyud ng mukha ni Yang-Yang” or “Kapayat      gyud ni Jason ngayon”.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The      MAKA + verb form, such as, “Makainis talaga si Albert uy!” or “Makauwi na      talaga ako ng matagal ngayon”&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The Nag + verb, as in “Nagsabi kasi si Tita Precy na pupunta  daw tayo ng airport” or “Hindi pa man siya nagdating dun uy!”&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Adding new words or new meaning to old words to the dictionary is one of our favorite past time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;NAKIN: &lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;“Alam man nakin ‘yan ba!”, “Saan nakin kita nakita gani?”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;KU-AN: &lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;“Ku-an daw ang gawin mo”, “Si ku-an kasi ano masyado”. (Non sense at all).&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;ANO: &lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;“Na-ano ka diyan, Bryan?!”, “Ano man yan si Van uy!”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;HA: &lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;“Lake-ha na ng tiyan ni Lulu uy!”, “Gwapa-ha niya uy!” &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;BEH: &lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;“Sige daw beh, dare!”, “Pakipasa dawn g ballpen ni Tzaris beh”.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;KAY: &lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;“Huwag na, Wowie, kay nandito naman si Norma”, “Umupo ka muna kay nasa-CR pa si Elma”.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;To express disgust over someone, we utter, “Gago kaba diay para maniwala sa kanya”, or “Ano man yan siya uy!”, or when pestered when doing something, you’d quip “Huwag lagi ba!”&lt;/div&gt;On the other hand, when we praise somebody extra special deed or talent, our Davaoeño tongue slips words like &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;“Kuyaw lagi yan siya!”, “Galenga niya uy!”, “Ayusa niya uy!”, “Kuyawa ni Orly uy!”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; or &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;“Hindi ako makatu-o sa ginawa niya!” &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hay, makatawa talaga. Ooops! There are just too many words to mention. Just check out the words you spew everyday. Sometimes you just laugh at yourself when you realize that you’ve just said those very words. No matter how long you stay in Manila or in the States, the moment you back to Davao, your tongue feels as at home as you do. Language is the very soul of every being.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;You just can’t do anything about it. Or as how we say it &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;“Anuhin man natin yan?”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Hope you enjoyed reading this… &lt;img alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" src="http://janusrichardronimo.i.ph/blogs/janusrichardronimo/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2742959372911417442-5511255811486794134?l=flipnidus.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://flipnidus.blogspot.com/feeds/5511255811486794134/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2742959372911417442&amp;postID=5511255811486794134' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2742959372911417442/posts/default/5511255811486794134'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2742959372911417442/posts/default/5511255811486794134'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://flipnidus.blogspot.com/2007/12/difference-of-davaoeo.html' title='Difference of a Davaoeño'/><author><name>Janus</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OA-38axqbbc/STSoYvjrJsI/AAAAAAAAADc/qcIeQJ_-HPI/S220/1_953674767l.jpg'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2742959372911417442.post-5482369065281115661</id><published>2007-12-09T20:44:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2010-05-06T11:03:21.831+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='philippines'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='life'/><title type='text'>Philippines: A Third World? Think Again.</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Who said that the Philippines still belongs to the third world? One day, the day when the Big Brother SWAP was announced, I researched about Slovenia (Just out of curiosity, though I know it is located in Europe near Italy. Mind you, a scientist must have a curious mind… Hence, I am a scientist in the making! SWEET! HAHA.). And so I searched on the net about Slovenia. And my search brought me to Youtube ( where the world's coolest and lousiest vids are located). I saw one media news in Slovenia, talk about the Philippines, I can't comprehend with the language though, but the video has a lot of bad side of the Philippines rather than the good side. And I was irritated and searched for some of the good stuffs the Philippines has to offer, gladly, I saw an article that talked about third world countries.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Yes, my title was really right! Who said that the Philippines still belongs to the Third World? Haha! We don't belong anymore to the Third World, nor to the Second World. We're in the group they call Newly Industrialized  Countires - "Countries that have more advanced economies than developing nations in the Third World but have not yet attained the level of developed countries in the  First World." Love it! Mwahahahahaha! Now there's no reason why you would not want to be a Filipino eh? Hehehe… The growth of the Philippines nowadays is fast, a lot of big foreign investments and I know we are worthy of it. We worked hard for it! Kudos for us!!!
