The Manila, Philippines capital has been named by the <a href="http://www.cnngo.com/">CNNgo.com</a> travel and lifestyle website as the world's city for driving. Before it is also has been tagged as one of the most dangerous places in the world for motorcycle owners.

CNNGo, the travel news website of the Cable News Network, made a “non-scientific” list of the ten worst cities in the world for driving, which is based on different surveys, World Bank statistics and other Internet sources.
 

 
CNNgo said In 2001, Manila borrowed <a href="http://www-wds.worldbank.org/external/default/main?pagePK=64193027&piPK=64187937&theSitePK=523679&menuPK=64187510&searchMenuPK=64187283&theSitePK=523679&entityID=000094946_01060804031083&searchMenuPK=64187283&theSitePK=523679" style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial;" target="_blank">US$60 million from the World Bank for transit-related activities</a>. Among other things, the funds were meant to “promote the use of non-motorized transport.” 
 
 
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 1em !important; margin-top: 1em !important;">
"A campaign asking locals to “Please stop driving,” however, wasn't necessarily the best approach to traffic management.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 1em !important; margin-top: 1em !important;">
According to one report, “Residents perceive traffic congestion as their number one problem, followed by air pollution, garbage collection, flood control and the need for security.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 1em !important; margin-top: 1em !important;">
So, Filipinos care more about getting to work on time than they do about respiratory ailments, mounting trash heaps, drowning or being assaulted? Capitalism wins again!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 1em !important; margin-top: 1em !important;">
Redeeming quality: You're in a country in which smooth-flowing traffic is apparenly of utmost importance to residents. So, you gotta figure somebody, somewhere is working on the problem. Right?" CNNgo said</div>
</blockquote>
 
Worse than Manila were also two Asian cities like New Delhi, India and Beijing, China  which rank 2 and 1. 
 
Completing the list were Lagos, Nigeria; Sao Paolo, Brazil; Moscow, Russia; Toronto, Canada; and Monaco, which ranked sixth to tenth respectively.
 
 
CNNgo also named Manila as one of Asia's greatest food cities early this year including Seoul, Singapore, and Bangkok.

Mahirap lang eh kung ikaw lang ang may interest dito. Isa sa pinakamasakit bilang isang blogger ( para sakin) eh malaman na ikaw lng ang reader ng sariling blog mo. Pero bihira naman mangyare siguro yun, dahil kahit papano may maliligaw at mapapadpad din dyan, at minsan madalas pang scenario eh yung mga bagay na bihira lng mapansin, gawin, mangyare o makita eh  yun pa ang madalas na ginagawa, nagyayare, napapansin at nakikita ng karamihan.</li>

Minsan okey din ung maiksi pero malaman at nakakabusog kesa naman sa ubod ng haba eh wala namang kwenta, masabi lang mahaba kahit galing sa pwet ang pinagkuhanan ipinapublish na, Tulad nito. Ok din ung mahaba, hindi nakakabitin pero dapat hindi nakakatamad dapat kung alam mu ng may parte sa sinulat mo na medyo tatamarin ang reader mo sundan mo agad ng parte na magbibigay ng pakiramdam na maging Masaya sya, un katulad ng pakiramdam ng ( hndi ko na kayang sabihin pa ).</li>

Know your target, tulad ko nagsulat ako sa tagalong dahil syempre Pilipino ang target readers ko sa post na to, kahit mas sanay ako mag ingles (Ulol!). pero mas ok kung ang 1st language ng blog mo ay English, more readers! Saka ka na lng maghalo ng post na tagalog, kung sa tingin mu ay may ok to sa tagalog. Tulad ng mga post na may galit at inis. Mas masarap kaseng basahin ang post na may mura na tagalog kesa sa ingles, para sa akin. .( sa tingin ko di kita natulungan sa part na to, ang labo ko! )</li>

AT Wag kang maging Unique! Wag ka gumawa ng blog entry na ikaw lang ang nakakaalam! kung naiisp mung gumawa ng entry tungkol sa pagtatalik ng Ipis wag mu ng subukan! (nagawa ko na yun) at maniwala ka di maganda ang resulta. Sumabay ka sa uso, sumabay ka sa trending! at maghanap ka ng magtetrending! At magulat ka na lng sa mga susunod na pangyayari.</li>

Di ko alam. Pero sa tingin ko lahat naman ng nagblog gumawa nun dahil gusto nila at gustong ipamahagi ang nalalaman nila. Gumawa sila ng blog entry ayos sa gusto nila at nakuha nila ang panlasa ng mambabasa pero syempre habang tumatagal may nagbabago. Kailangan magsulat ng entry na magugustuhan nila, kailangan ng bago ng di sila magsawa. Pero kung may aalis naman, madalas may kapalit. Kaya ayos lang.</li>

At ang panghuli, iwasan mung magbasa sa mga blog na may post about sa kung paano ba gumawa ng magandang blog. Karamihan sa kanila hindi naman nakabasa ng tips sa ibang blog. May Originality sila! At dahil siguro successful ang naging outcome nila gumawa na sila ng post kung pano gumawa ng isang magandang blog ayun mismo sa experience nila. Yung iba naman trip lang nila magpost ng tips tungkol sa blog kahit di nila alam ang mga pinagsasabe nila at wala silang alam tungkol dun ( tulad ko ).</div>
