Blogger has improved and so does me!

By reg


Its been awhile since I shared a story on this blog. I had a lot of things going on lately. Got websites to develop, audio-visuals to supervise, a new group in Baguio to launch, a new set of ORM prospects, Region 1 expansion, speaking engagements in Baguio, in Vigan and in Eastern Pangasinan plus of course a major client to monitor.

Yeah. I’m not busy after all.

I did this photo supposedly to join a contest but unfortunately, I can’t connect to the internet in our house in Baguio City, so i wasn’t able to upload it. I find it relative to Blogger’s new interface. Its improvement is better for bloggers like me. It is better today than it was yesterday and so I am, too.

We have a lot of things coming up this September. We are going to launch Baguio DigiPreneur Society and we are so excited about it. Baguio is a highly urbanized city and people are very active and highly intelligent there. I believe Baguio ranks “Top 9 in the Cities of the Future.” Wow, it makes it more exciting to be part of a group that innovates the social media landscape in the City of Pines.

Our presence was introduced by an article at the Baguio Midland Courier written by Ms. Liza Agoot.

BMC article published on August 28, 2011

After this, we had series of meetings with prospective clients by the cafe, together with our partner NIIT Baguio led by Vlad Cayabas– its School administrator who is a very active social persona.

We wanted for this very young group to train upcoming bloggers, social media marketers and online community managers for the clientele in Baguio which is ripe for the picking.

The official launch is initially scheduled on September 17, 2011 at NIIT Baguio. Invited are the members of Baguio media community, BDS clients and ICT movers in CAR.

As the Special Projects Group, BDS will handle IT solutions, IT ventures, IT trainings and Digital Projects in the city of Baguio catering to the public and private sector.

For those who wanted to join this very young group — you may contact NIIT Baguio for details.
More of BDS in the next post.

Dragon Fruit farm in the foot of Mount Balungao

By reg
Known as the goat capital of Pangasinan province, and recently crowned for having the longest zipline in Southeast Asia, Balungao’s tourism industry continues to blossom. And to further raise the Municipality's treasure, the 2.5-hectare dragon fruit farm in Mt. Balungao is seen to attract visitors. Dragon fruit or Pitaya prefers free draining soil with sandy to clay loam types or sandy soils like the land that can be found in Balungao. Dragon fruit farming is widely popular in Central and South America. But thru research, it has reached different countries in Asia including the Philippines. The Mt. Balungao Dragon Fruit farm is located in Napudot Road. The farm was developed in 2010 but the hefty harvest started just 2 years ago. According to Johnny Espe, owner of the farm, an expansion is planned due to the higher demand. Espe is a nurse in profession but when he learned about the different benefits of dragon fruit, he started growing a few in their ancestral land in Balungao. He...

Internet Addiction and How to Stop It

By reg
Today was indeed not a normal day for me. I don’t usually wake up early for a discussion. Especially if its at 5:00 o’clock in the morning. But because Melanie Heng of ABS-CBN ( a tv network in the Philippines) asked for an interview in their morning show Bagong Umaga, bagong Balita, I did go to the studio. The discussion was about online addiction, internet addiction, addiction to social media sites, online games and other forms of digital distractions that id borne about by the internet. There are instances when kids and the youth are so into social media sites and online games that their behaviour dramatically change over time. Vanj Padilla as interviewee at ABS CBN’s Bagong Umaga, Bagong Balita with Host Melanie Heng They become passive for physical social interaction but aggressive, more violent and less respectful for other people’s rights and immediate environment. They become overly obsessed with their online personas and think that the universe revolves around...
