The Burning of the Effigies by the Colombians: Kalma Lang, Hindi Natin Kailangang Bumawi

Wazzup Pilipinas!

The controversial burning of Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach and Steve Harvey effigies in Colombia enraged netizens in the Philippines. Even Filipinos living in other countries have something to say against the Colombians, especially the guy seen burning the effigies.

This prompted Ethel Booba to post on her Twitter account another humorous reply towards the action of the Colombian. She seems to be in a roll and keeps coming up with witty rebuttals to all the ludicrous realities out there.

Imagine what it would be like if we are with her 24/7? Must be a lot of rolling on the floor laughing out loud like there's no tomorrow.

It was necessary for everyone to react because by that act alone by the Colombians, they have shown the world, the universe rather, that they are not confidently beautiful with a heart. Bitterness does not tell beauty, and it is an attribute of its exact opposite. Why blame the Philippines? Move on!

Clickbaits: You Wouldn't Believe Why I Wrote This, What Happens Next Will Shock You!

Everyone's reaction was priceless! What you will witness will restore your faith in humanity!

Have you resorted to applying the art and science of writing effective headlines or click-worthy lines that would tempt the readers to click and read the actual story?

These type of clickbait lines really works to lure traffic to your website but ...the big butt ..I mean BUT is .... you are nothing extraordinary if your actual content is rubbish. You just created a lot of hype but under-delivered.

However, "“If your headline isn’t good, your article is irrelevant. And if your article is irrelevant, then you’re not getting any traffic."

But how do we really write a good headline that is shareable, draws people in, and is not manipulative?

Most people wanted to get lured in by clickbaits. As they browse through their timelines in Facebook or read new posts all over their other social media accounts, the search for an interesting headline is bound to lead to one or two, or more, clickbaits. What exactly is the phenomenon that entices us to click?

I received the email message below yesterday (January 1). What a great way to start the year.

"Hi Ross, 

In behalf of __________, I would like to express our gratitude for your excellent write up of our restaurant. The positive exposure you gave us on social media provided us with a nice introduction. Customer response has dramatically increased since then and we hope to maintain this upward momentum with quality food and great service at reasonable prices. 

As 2015 ends, We wish you a Happy New Year and we would like to give you Gift Certificates. These can be availed at _____________ Quezon City. You may call ___________ for time of pick up or reservation. 

Here's my mobile for any concerns __________. 

Best,
________________"

It reminded me that there are yet so many Gift Certificates we have in our possession that still needs to be claimed. Actually, many of the GCs have already expired already due to so many months of being unused. What I don't like about them is the fact that they have expiration dates. It is not so convenient on my part to visit the establishments just to claim the GCs so they are usually remain in storage until I have the opportunity to have an event within the area where the establishments are located.

Thus, I agreed to my wife when she asked if we wanted to go out and eat. The reason was because it was going to be our son's birthday on January 6. We couldn't celebrate it during school time because all of us will be very busy even on weekends. My kids would often complain of too much homework and projects at school that their weekends are never free. The weekends are also wash days for my wife so everyone is just too occupied in chores.
