I have 2 employees who is helping me with the day to day operations of my Internet Café and Web Hosting business here in Binan Laguna. Senior Server Admin and technical support not included since they are part of the server package. The first guy started 3 years ago while the other one joined late last year. They been have a good employees but sometimes at the back of my mind I asked questions whether they are dedicated to their work or not.  This is because I noticed they usually sacrifice their work in exchange to have drinking session with their friends.  You know things like they have the whole night enjoying and drinking till they drop and the next thing I know I have a text messages informing me they won’t be able to show up the next day. I’m not against with this because that’s how they live their lives though I just hope I can always understand them or face the consequence that they might lose their job. 

When I opened an account on friendster several years ago all I did was browsed and searched for friends as often as I can remember. Then, after a year a two I only visit the site like once in every month.

Today, after doing some work I took a break and I remembered friendster and checked my account. I was smiling the entire friendster session after seeing some childhood friends and neighbors in the province. We have this neighbor before where all of his siblings are boys and after browsing to his account I saw a picture of his family together with his 3 brothers. All I did was smile because I know how these boys like when they were still little. It’s really nice to see friends and reminisce some happy moments together. I think this is one of the best things what life can offer.  Happy memories stay forever as long as you keep it.

I have an OPM Lyrics website which I started last February. At some point I stopped updating it then came April, that’s the time I gave more of my time and religiously updating it. The website traffic then improves and later on spammers found the website.  Eventually, spam comments were increasing from like 10 comments to hundreds then right now it is hitting thousands spam comments a day. To fight this spam I enabled akismet plugin for wordpress to at least minimize spam comments but still I’m getting hundreds of it everyday minus what the spam buster has eliminated. It’s really time consuming to delete those spam comments every now and then and worse once I missed deleting it for a  day it just accumulates so fast. Its even harder to delete it in the long run.

I think I need  to scout the web and find additional ways to battle wordpress comment spam. Does anyone know a better solution for this?
