Captivating Capiz: Clearing the Path

October 25, 2008

Almost several days of not being present on the net and I have seen a lot of changes on the result of the search engines. I’ve been busy with some requirements at school and I can’t give time to deal with my entries. I have seen that I have “over touched” the wordpress version of my entry on captivating Capiz and it falls down the ladder. It just show that the other people involve on this event are really trying hard to make it to the top. As the theory I have said that if my entry on the top stays this weekend, it will be the last position for this week’s rank on the captivating Capiz. Still I have this doubt about it because I stop from doing something to make the entries crawl more on the top and seen my other entries falls down from the official list of leaders.

I want to clear the path of my success to this captivating Capiz competition and I can’t still see any clear sign that it can really have this success. Still hoping for the best but expecting for the worst to happen later. The screenshot shows my entry that was not able to stay on its page one position. I thought I could still make it gan another ranking but I was too “greedy” that I over made it. That’s why, the page might get hurt in the process.

Almost There in the Captivating Capiz

October 21, 2008

Whew the long winding road of blog experiments is almost done. After a month of several blog posts and other optimizing activities, the result has shown. If my entry on the best captivating Capiz post will stay on its rank for a week, then the victory is mine. I have several lessons learned from this and my mentor is really correct about some theories he presented to us. Theories that I keep on practicing through out the competition. Of course at first I don’t believe him that’s why I created a new blog for the competition (sorry for that, you already know me). So that I will apply my own technique to my original blog so that I can dispprove his theory but instead he dispprove mine. I’ve been dirty but now I have learned (it sounds like the TV commercial). Next time I will really follow every words he will say about it. I have seen some concrete proof on his theories and this is enough for me to give my trust to every single teachings he impart.

Of course as he is always saying, the fight is not yet over if the final day does not comes yet. So I will keep on doing what he said that I should do for captivating Capiz. Actually that’s one of the formula that he give to me and that is “don’t give up by not stopping!”

I am almost done with Captivating Capiz

October 19, 2008

I am getting tired and my words are already fading. It seems that my blog about the province of Capiz located at http://mingoton.blogspot.com and http://www.gurlash.wordpress.com can’t do about the paid domain entries of the other participants of the captivating Capiz. It only shows the weakness of this domains when it comes to real fight like this. Well I might say that at least two of the blogs gains prestige when it can be seen in page one of the result pages. What I am wondering right now is how could I manage to take over with the current number one of the rank. It seems that the number of his strength is far from the strength gain by my entries. Maybe all I can do right now is to be satisfied by what I have acquired.

Captivating Capiz contest is really an interesting competition. The goal is really noble. The skills required for the competition seems really high. How could I win? Is this rambling of my blogs enough for it to garnet a great position? I hope so because that’s what I need right now.

October 13, 2008

After several weeks of chanting about my plans about my vacation in one of the most enchanting paradise of the Philippines, the captivating Capiz, I finally got to the question, “to visit or not to visit…”. I am still undecided but the reasons for me to have the vacation of my life is clear and dear. Clear, because the beautiful facets of the province were explained and graphically demonstrated by every bloggers who already have visited the place. Dear, because I am really captured by the fact of this one of the best untouched tourist spot in the country plus the delicacies were really yummy! I just can’t wait to eat them all.

Wild Flowers in Captivating Capiz

October 7, 2008

Aside from natural rich seafood in the province of the captivating Capiz, the place is also known to be a good place to plant beautiful wild flowers like orchids and the like. It is because of the nice climate and very conducive weather condition of the highlands and even the lowland which makes it possible to grow great kinds of flowers like as shown in the picture. Apart from it, the province of Capiz is seldom visited by strong typhoons. Last known typhoon that hits the province was the typhoon Frank but this is not frequently happening in the province. Large part of the areas of the province is still available for this kind of planting ornamental plants. That is why the province has a great potential to this kind of flower industry in the Philippines.

I don’t know if the captivating Capiz can keep up with Baguio’s capacity to produce large amount of flowers. Baguio is known to be the largest growers of orchids and other ornamental plants in the Philippines. They are actually celebrating annual festival every February to showcase their grown flowers. In Capiz the known municipalities that focus on this knd of products are Dao, Panitan, Sigma and Panay. I really love this kind of flowers and how I wish I could go to the places of this gardens of wild flowers and see their growing beauty.

Someone is Bugging Me

September 30, 2008

The pathetic loser from Roxas City, Capiz keeps on bugging me. He/she keeps on insisting that this “contest is not for me”. Well all I can say to you is that “Shut the f*ck off!” You do your SEO thing and don’t try any unfair remarks again. If you can’t win the captivating Capiz contest, then shut up! If you’re so dumb enough and got a very fickle type of brain just put all your hands inside your body. You’re making the appearance of your province so ugly because you’re showing how DUMB and brittle minded you have. Maybe you were not able to study it in college or maybe you were born yesterday and you just don’t understand the game and cruelty of competitions.

I dare you, beat me in the captivating Capiz competition! If you can then I will conclude that you’re not a mongoloid!

One Day Fame

September 19, 2008

I felt the other day that I won the lottery when I saw my blog got a high importance rating from the leading search engine. It’s a first for me (I hope it will not be the last), to be ranked number one for the key phrase: captivating Capiz. I actually did some minor ranking tactics to make it rank but I never thought that it will be sudden. But saying goes, faster you get, the faster you forget. That’s what happen to my captivating Capiz post, it just stay for almost 24 hours and that’s it never shows again even in any page of the result pages for the said key phrase. Maybe it got penalized or the server for Google rotated or conducted a clean-up so temporarily they use the old server for the search result of captivating Capiz.

I said it is old server because when I tried to view the cache of my blog, it shows the old appearance and not the current content. This mean that Google shows a heavy down pour of the post about the captivating Capiz and pauses for a while and uses a certain “proxy” to replace for the main server temporarily. That is my theory. But it is just a crazy thought about this phenomenon but I hope it will not permanent and will not happen on the last day of the judgement for the captivating Capiz day. Go girl don’t lose hope, that’s what my love said to me. :)

That’s why I got inspired again and made a new captivating Capiz write-up to build more competitiveness against other blogger rivals and I use Wordpress for that purpose.

Captivating Dishes in Capiz

September 17, 2008

I search on the web regarding different captivating and delightful dishes from the province of Capiz and I found nothing in particular on the web. No recipes nor featured dish of specialty of Capiznons. Maybe they are not just particular with this kind of specialty. My guess is that almost all the special dishes in the captivating Capiz are made from their sea foods such as crabs, oysters and shrimps. A friend of mine told me that they are fond eating fresh fish and sea foods in restaurants in captivating Capiz near the beaches. Its a cheap and delightful food. You just simply chose from the fresh fishes and sea creatures on your sight (of course displayed on their calderos), then they will cook it for you in grilled or in tasty sour soup.

This mouth watering food from the captivating Capiz really give me a change in my appetite. I am feeling hungry right now just thinking of this sea foods. Opps I forgot I am on diet but if in case I got my fingers on this finger-leaking and looking good sea foods I might got amnesia about staying in a sexy figure.
