Be Smart with Your Web Hosting

Another year has passed and a new one will soon come in few days and with new year's resolution await everyone, we have to attend to our other needs including website's hosting, traffic and content.

For one, I need to renew web hosting for my five blogs and hope that no conflict and problems shall arise this 2011 since it may mean affecting readability and access of my blogs.

So, when you think of picking the right web hosting service, you can consider the following criteria:

• price 
• reliability
• bandwidth
• technical support
• features like email, ftp, shopping carts and etc.
• disk space

It will indeed help you if you can compare and evaluate from web hosting reviews and be more informed as to what is the best web hosting provider that indeed suits you best.

When Service Goes Beyond Humanity

Sometime in October, the SOX Bloggers community had the chance to visit the B'laan community that contributes largely to the coffee industry through the processing of the most expensive civet coffee. However, we had to traverse several mountains until we reached midway of Mt. Matutum.

Seeing how far and remote the community was and that their needs were simply limited to food, we just need to help. So, we promised to be back Christmas Season to bring forth Christmas gifts. But, angels are among everyone because another fellow SOX Blogger and a Rotarian, Lynette Gallinero, invited her RC group to render a Dental - Medical Mission. So, last December 18, the SOX Bloggers along with the Rotary Club  of Polomolok brought forth bags of school supplies, goodies, clothes and medicines to two rural communities of Polomolok.

It has always been my passion to help especially to the forgotten community, so, with all the stuffs we could carry from our boutique, we hurdled them with happiness and hope.

long and winding travel and difficult roads didn't stop these people to help

serving over 25 families on medical and dental service

The whole day travel and extreme roads and weather to two remote communities of Polomolok had  made the mission all entirely meaningful and when we saw sincere joy from the families especially the kids when they saw the gift bag, medicines and candies, they affirmed us true meaning of service and humanity.

After the successful event, we quite wish that the RC Polomolok 101 and SOX Bloggers community be partners again in their rendering of service to Polomolok and hopefully to the other SOCCSKSARGEN areas.
