ESPC Reborn

The fall of two teams and the birth of ONE....

The rivalry between the two equally talented teams (Spy ware and NS)has finally come to an end. They will no longer join the league due to lack of players .The team leaders come up with the solution to drop the teams and be united as one team and to be focus on the greater goal which is winning the crown and to promote camaraderie rather than competition between our office mates.

The team will be consisting of players from players from both shifts. Here's the tentative Line Up: (Majar, Elton, Mike Cardona, Ivan"Bong Hawkins" Roda, Erwin "Du" Daclan, Mic Wales, Agent Ale, Arjay,Allan "the Money Man" Villar, Percival, Jam, Kenneth Palabrica, Dennis Ruiz, Dennis Casa,Kurt,Ronald, Natz, Mykell "Choi" Villanueva and Me.

The Team will be doing some tune up games against some of the most notorious and well known team from the League. Will keep you update for the Schedule of Events.

Spyware Diary - Honorable Loss

Last Saturday, We played a do or die match against the Saint Peter College of Toril. Most of us is ready to play and win but due to fatigue factor we fail to win and fill the last spot for the semi-final games.

During the first quarter we were able to dictate the tempo of the game with the help of Jam's Hot Hands and Kenneth's power move towards the basket. We end the quarter strong with a 5 point lead.

The second quarter was a see saw battle. There were a couple deadlocks that ended with a tie ball game in the end of the 2nd period.

--- half time ----

During the second half we were careless and they were able to converted points from the reckless plays and lack of box out during the free throws. They dominate the rebound department and take over the game.

We lost the game but we were able to survive and loss some unwanted fats..hehhee

It is really honorable to loss fats in a natural and healthy way..


Better Luck Next Team ..... Practice .. practice yehey ..

Traffic Gen 101: Link Page Evolution

Since we started blog we created or allocate a portion for the link page. The page where we put the links of our affiliates, other blogs and blogger friends link. It is usually put in a separate page or the right or left corner of your blog /website.

If you think thoroughly what's the primary reason of a viewer in visiting a blog / website. It is simply to read the content or article that he / she thinks can be helpful to him /her.

With Live Content Pages we can maximize the page usage. We will be able to help the readers by giving them a direct link for additional resources and at the same time gives traffic to your affiliate sites in just one page alone.

So why create two pages when one page will serve the purpose of two.

here is a good example of a blog that uses Live Content Pages.

Importance of Music

Do you know that music started to exist during the time when only animals roamed the earth? It is theorized that animals is using a form of sound / music to communicate with one another.

Just a bit of reflection .. .After reading the article I realized that music plays a vital part to our existence because without communication how can the animals evolve and reproduce. If they don't reproduce then the circle of life will be in balance .. In short we don't have enough food to sustain the energy we need to do our daily task and to protect our ecosystem.

Thanks to music ...without it we don't exist.

Keyword Tool Limitations Revealed

I was doing a research on the different Keyword Research Tool and found out that no matter how advance the software or tool ...it will always have its limitation. Limitation that we need to be aware for us to avoid misjudgment and miscalculation in optimizing our websites.

1. The data presented (search volume and etc) are based on the past records. Therefore it will not give you guarantee that the certain keyword will still work in the near future.
2. The records will not show the researcher the actual traffic the specific keyword can generate since the traffic will depend on the SEO and PPC optimization, competition and your marketing strategy is.
3. The tool cannot give you the stats on how profitable your keyword is on how many customers are willing to buy your product or subscribe to your services.
4. The data is only based on the GOOGLE's market some of the products and services will have better conversion in the other competitors.
5. There are some areas we need to consider like:

• Specific Target Market
  
• May Exceed your daily budget but will not appear for every search
• Adwords Impressions include the search network but the keyword tool restricts to Google only.

Nickelback - Never Gonna Be Alone

Time, is going by, so much faster than I,
And I'm starting to regret not spending all of here with you.
Now I'm, wondering why, I've kept this bottled inside,
So I'm starting to regret not selling all of it to you.
So if I haven't yet, I've gotta let you know...

(Chorus)
Never gonna be alone!
From this moment on, if you ever feel like letting go,
I won't let you fall...
Never gonna be alone!
I'll hold you 'til the hurt is gone.

(Verse 2)
And now, as long as I can, I'm holding on with both hands,
'Coz forever I believe that there's nothing I could need but you,
So if I haven't yet, I've gotta let you know...

(Chorus)
Never gonna be alone!
From this moment on, if you ever feel like letting go,
I won't let you fall.
When all hope is gone, I know that you can carry on.
We're gonna see the world out,
I'll hold you 'til the hurt is gone.

(Verse 3)
Ooooh!
You've gotta live every single day,
Like it's the only one, what if tomorrow never comes?
Don't let it slip away,
Could be our only one, you know it's only just begun.
Every single day,
Maybe our only one, what if tomorrow never comes?
Tomorrow never comes...

(Verse 4)
Time, is going by, so much faster than I,
And I'm starting to regret not telling all of this to you.
So if I haven't yet, I've gotta let you know...

(Chorus)
Never gonna be alone!
From this moment on, if you ever feel like letting go,
I won't let you fall.
When all hope is gone, I know that you can carry on.
We're gonna see the world out,
I'll hold you 'til the hurt is gone.

I'm gonna be there always,
I won't be missing a word all day,
I'm gonna be there always,
I won't be missing a word all day.

Spyware 101: What is a Point Guard In and Off Court

Point Guards are Hard Court Generals .. They are the one who calls for the plays and the person who creates opportunity for his teammate to score in a ball game.

Here are some responsibilities of a point guard in and off the court.

• Keep constant pressure on a passer or dribbler forcing them off of their desired path of attack.
• Talk constantly on defense helping their teammates to recognize potentially dangerous points of attack by their opponent. They keep their focus throughout the course of a game, and pay attention to details at nearly all times.
• Advance the ball up the court from the defensive three point line to the attacking three point line with 2-3 dribbles while under control, and they always pass ahead when a teammate is open down the court who either has an open shot, or can create a numbers advantage from which the retreating defense cannot recover .
  
• Able to play excellent defense and create shots for himself in the halfcourt offense. He needs to be a weapon from long range as well. This is true because the better a shooting guard can shoot from behind the three point line, the more it forces defenses to step farther out on the court to guard him. This in turn allows the lane to be open to both penetration, and for the post players.
• Get their teams prepared psychologically for practice and for games. They know which players need to be provoked to pick up intensity or concentration and which ones are excitable and need to be calmed.
• On the fast break they constantly find a way to get open on the outlet pass as far up the court as possible.
• Able to be a spot-up shooter—to be able to catch and shoot—as well as be able to create his own shot off the dribble.
  The shooting guard is often called upon to get the team a quality shot when their offense has broken down. In other words, when a play has not worked, or the opposing team's defense has thrown a team out of sync, the shooting guard must step up and be able to create something out of nothing.
• Know how to get their best scorers the ball on a consistent basis, but are always on the lookout for how to create high percentage scoring opportunities for offensive teammates in a lesser role. They are able to keep all of their teammates involved offensively which makes the attacking team more difficult to guard.
• Know their own team´s optimal tempo for both offense, defense, and in transition. They know when to speed the tempo up or slow it down.
• Always have their head up and maintain full court vision at all times. They do not see one opponent or blocks of 2 or 3, they see all 10 players on the court, and understand the relationship of each by positioning.
• Pay attention to situational advantages such as on the free throw line, during jump balls, or in the flow of the game. For example, when an attacking team has a penetrating guard with no one getting back for defensive balance, they know to attack hard and quick on the counter fast break.
• Quickly and clearly communicate play calls or changes both in the open court and on dead ball situations. They also have the ability to quickly organize a team after an offensive pattern breakdown.
• Seldom turn the ball over due to pressure, and when they deliver a pass to a teammate it is to a point closest to the best position from which their teammate can score. Not occasionally, but virtually every single time.
• Understand completely a coach´s (and therefore the team´s) playing philosophy from top to bottom and every ounce of energy and effort is put forth to execute that philosophy. I have seen good guards who are great physically who constantly break out of the team philosophy creating confusion over the team´s offensive and defensive goals. Great guards understand you cannot win if all the oarsmen are not rowing in the same direction.
• Rarely get caught out of position in defensive transition and the best have the ability to buy time, and space to force the defense into a low percentage shot in the open court even with a superior numbers advantage. They may not stop the break every time, but if they stuff it half the time, they will save you 8 or 10 free points a game.
• Can stop dribble penetration on defense
• Able to dribble without thinking about dribbling or about the opponent who is guarding you. This will free you to see the court, ready to pass to a teammate who is open.

whewh .. It's not easy to be a Point Guard wahihihih

Eversun Cup Conference 2 Day 1 : Spywares VS Assumption Broken Arrows

It was the first game of the conference and faced the formidable Broken Arrows.. We lost 3 of the encounters but with the help of new team addition Center Nat's we were able to stop and limit their transition points .. and dictate the game to a slow and set up tempo ..and escape a 15 point lead at the end of the first quarter ..

During the two succeeding quarter it was a see saw battle between the two teams but were able to get an 8-0 run during last few minutes of the 3rd quarter.. and were able to maintain the lead until the buzzer sounded.

We fortunately got our first win against the Broken Arrows.. hehehe "Chamba" .. keep it up SPYWARE .. and may the force be with you ...

After the game we were able to get a chance to play with our next opponent ... but sad to say we lost the game .. the good thing is that its only an exhibition game .. :)
