Fire, fire, fire!

Yesterday afternoon, I was seriously working in my office when suddenly the building's PA system announced that there's a fire in the sixth floor. We're on the fifth floor. A co-employee informed me that it's just a fire drill. That's a relief! Whew!

Fire drill is done every year in compliance with the Fire Code of the Philippines.

As instructed, we went down via the nearest fire exit. Then, we proceeded to the front driveway of the building to watch the shows. Most of the building's occupants were already gathered waiting for the shows to begin. White smokes were being emitted out of the building. A fire truck arrived and sprayed water on the building. Then, a victim was being hoisted down.


We didn't finish the show but instead ate "halo halo" in the building's fastfood at the ground floor.

When we finished the "halo-halo", the show also ended. Then, we returned to our workplace.

Web hosting for your site or blog

I have been blogging for more than three years already. I have created not just one, two, or three blogs but more than five blogs. During this period, I befriended some bloggers. Some of these friends have told me that they are moving from free website to hosted website. That is great, I told them. I, myself, have also considered this move. But my limited time prevented me to do so.

Actually, I had already planned of having my blog hosted. And, I already searched for the best website host for my blog. However, I would not recommend the website host that I found the best for me. My reason is what is best for me may not be even good for them.

But, what I gave them are the website hosting review sites for them to evaluate what is best for them. Among the website hosting review sites I recommended is the WebHostingGeek.com.

WebHostingGeek.com indepently reviews all webhosting providers. And, by checking the reviews and features, it would be an easy task to select the best webhosting site for your website or blog. Even if you’re on a budget constraint, there is a webhosting site you could find.

Oh by the way, wifey is also considering her blog hosted. And, she is now consulting WebHostingGeek.com.

Where to look for web hosting provider

I have been planning of having my blogs, or at least one of my blogs, hosted. I have put off my plan momentarily because I become very busy with my works. Actually, I had already window shopped for the best website hosting providers. I searched the internet and asked for tips and advices from my online friends. It wasn’t easy as I thought. With the so many providers and plans, I got confused.

One blogger friend referred me to WebHostingRating.com. He emphasized to me that he is really satisfied with its services. I immediately visited the recommended site. I’m glad that I found this site and thanked my friend for leading me to it.

WebHostingRating.com independently rates website hosting providers and features the top 10 web hosting companies. It is based its rating on the customer satisfaction, affordability, reliability, uptime and techical support. It likewise provides complete information about the web hosting provides on the plans, promotional and discount coupons and the reviews by their customers.

Goodbye, Tita Cory!

I just heard in the news the demise of the former Philippine President Corazon Cojuangco Aquino at 3:18 this morning. She was diagnosed with colon cancer in March 2008 and lost her battle after a year and four months.

My deepest condolences and she may rest in peace!

Goodbye, Madam; and, thank you for what you'd done for the country and the Filipino people.
