The long and short of it

I've been trying to start a blogsite since 2004. Yep, it's been more than 5 years since I've thought of making an online journal for myself. How time flies and so many things has happened since then. I got married, got pregnant, lost a child, got pregnant again and alas became a mother. We'll that's probably the long and short of it. Now, the story-telling begins...

My metrobank was hacked and my reserve claim was denied!

I could not believe my eyes! My request for dispute has been denied! To make the long story short, about a month ago, my metrobank account was hacked, I have been a victim of a phising scam yes but one that was brought about by a text coming from Metrobank's official SMS number. This was the same number that texts me for updates and posted about my transactions and OTPs! I would have no reason not to trust it because the sms came from their official system. Assuming this, I calmly requested for reversal and waited patiently for the decision, only to find out that they denied my claim! How can they be so cruel and heartless! But alas they are, they really are. All I can do now is to warn as many people as I can about what happened to me because Metrobank is a callous heartless bank who would not care if your money got stolen from their bank. No to Metrobank! If I were you, leave this bank now. Pull out your money and put it somewhere safe. Beware of of Metrobank!

How knowing SEO changed my career path

And because of that, I have been able to practice SEO not only with one website but with 12. One year later, I've seen these websites grow impressions by 1k% and traffic by 500% because of organic and local SEO. It actually surprised me how powerful SEO really is in achieving traffic goals which will help you eventually grow leads. We now have a steadily increasing number of leads across the 12 brands. But recently I have been trying to assess if I were...

Balik Probinsya Program: Preparing for the new normal

Vista Land supports the Balik Probinsya program by offering several affordable house and lot packages in hundreds of locations nationwide. The government recently extended the ECQ in Metro Manila and critical areas of the country to May 15, 2020. While the rest of the world continue to battle the dreaded virus, PH has more worries ahead. the economy is on the brink of collapsing and people's lives are also on hold because of fear and uncertainty. The different Department of the government each has its own contribution to the Task Force that is helping each other to solve the crisis. But left out in the picture at least for now are the economists that would like to push for more detailed plans on how to revive the economy after the COVID crisis. DOH on the other hand is still on the limelight sharing it with the DSWD in making sure that the spread is controlled and that people would have food on their plates everyday. Short term stops are on its way ...
