Mandaue Business Month Press Conference
July 17, 2008
I mentioned in an earlier post that I got invited by Mr. Wilson Ng to attend the Mandaue Business Month press conference. The invitation was also open to other 15 bloggers but only a few responded because of some conflicts in schedule. Among those who attended the press conference are Aileen (http://sunchoke.net), Wil (http://misswilhelmina.com), Paul (http://cebudirectories.com), Nick (http://in-indie.org), Arnold (http://cebuheritage.com), and Rio (http://ngkhai.net/blog).
Present during the press conference are the people from the business sector, the media, and Hon. Gwen Garcia, the governor of the province of Cebu. The purpose of that press conference is to formally launch the upcoming 17th Visayas Business Area Business Conference and the Mandaue Business Month.

Barbeque at Larsian’s
May 27, 2008
The first week in Cebu City was very difficult on my part. I’m not used of eating carenderia food. While I was in Davao, I was spoiled with my Lola’s home-cooked meals and food from Davao’s best restaurants. I was not prepared in the sudden change of my lifestyle.
Among those things I miss about Davao are the numerous Inasal restaurants found in the downtown area. Mang Inasal, Penongs, and Banoks among others. Last night, we were able to come across Cebu’s barbeque haven. We didn’t realize that such place lies a few blocks away from our building.

Moving out to wordpress or not
January 30, 2008 | Filed under: Blog, Internet, Web
I have been contemplating on moving out to a new blog platform this last few weeks. I already asked Jehz and a couple of bloggers if I should or should not move to a new platform. My desires of leaving blogger for a newer platform increases everyday. I find a lot of needs which my existing platform can not provide.
I’m eyeing on migrating my BatangYagit.com to wordpress. Most of my non-blogger blogs are using Wordpress. I find wordpress more robust as compared to Blogger. Back-end design is also easier using wordpress, so as front-end design and blog aesthetics.
The cons of moving to wordpress are the following:
- It needs more maintenance. I have to make sure that my blog uses the most up-to-date version of wordpress. And sometimes, upgrading is a pain in the neck specially on a major version change.
- High risk of losing traffic. Since I’ll be moving out to a new platform, there is a risk of losing traffic since the URL of my posts will be changed. A large number of my previous posts are optimized for search engine traffic.
- Paid bandwidth. Since it is self hosted, I’d be spending money for my bandwidth. My blog will have limited amount of resources. There is no assurance that my blog will be up forever.
- Need for a hosting provider. I have an existing web host but I don’t think it can manage to have another load of traffic. My idea is to get a new hosting account from Gossimer.com. I’ve been looking into their services and find them ok. They have a few selection of hosting plans I can choose from. I’m deciding if I’d go for their Starter Plan or go big time with their Business Plan.
Up ’til now, I haven’t decided yet. I’m still on the process of thinking whether my advantages outweighs the cons that I have mentioned.
