This Blog is Now "NoFollow Free"


You Comment, I FollowI have been wanting to install this amazing NoFollow plugin even before I moved to an installed version of WordPress but either I didn’t have the time to do it or when I did have the time — forgot all about it. I’m so happy that I was able to have both today — time and thought.

if my readers were nice enough to leave a comment on my blog, they deserve no less than a quality link to their own blogs or sites

I consider myself a supporter of the idea of “NoFollow Free” blogs most specially for the comments area. I feel that if my readers were nice enough to leave a comment on my blog, they deserve no less than a quality link to their own blogs/sites that might somehow increase their PR (page rank). Since Google’s and other major search engines’ adaptation of the NoFollow system, many sites were affected and lost PR. But we all know how relevant it is to a webmaster, some even go to extremes just to increase theirs. So, anyway, to show some love to all of my commenters, I am delighted to announce that this blog is now 100% NoFollow FREE! Site URL’s you leave in the comments/author area will now be followed by search engine bots. I also have the SEO for FireFox plugin so I know exactly which links are “no follow’d. But spammers be warned: URL’s will be followed only after a set number of approved comments. Right now, it has been set to 2 approved comments. So leaving one-liner commenst littered with links (characteristic of spam comments) will be nuked real-time. I have done this to ensure that I provide quality links as well. Also, as much as I’d want to accomodate everyone,I regret to inform you that I can and will only follow sites/blogs written in English and Filipino only, this is because I cannot screen sites if they are written in a different language. For that, I’m sorry. I hope there was another way.

I have also set a Comments Policy here for everyone. Please be guided accordingly.

Thank you to all my commenters, specially to the frequent ones who always make me happy. This is for all of you. Cheers!

  3. Hey RJ. After reading your post, it is clear to see that some people do have a heart. I am new to all this SEO backlinking stuff. I have been drafted into a job to help the company. After learning that most blogs now use ‘no follow’ i was stuck and as i am new to backling and SEO, i reached a dead end and didnt know where to turn. If you have extra tips which will help me, please email me. Other wise thank you for this link.

  7. Hi! We also removed “nofollow” from our wordpress blog links because it is just fair to give a proper attribution to authors. I wish more people would do so, especially in german language weblogs where still “nofollow” is very common. Come on folks: Dofollow!

About Me
Cecilia Regina Aquino Blanquera Marmol aka RJ Marmol profile picture

I’m RJ Marmol — writer, musician, and independent creator based in Manila.

I write songs, essays, and books about the messy overlap between money, overwhelm, creativity, identity, and rebuilding. Much of my work circles around what happens when life stops feeling manageable — and how we try to think clearly, make decisions, and keep moving anyway.

I’m also the author of Rebuilding Under Debt: Thinking Clearly When Everything Is a Blur, a nonfiction book published under Steady Hand Press. The paperback edition is listed under my full publishing name, Cecilia Regina Aquino Blanquera.

On the music side, I release work as HeyRJ. On the writing side, this site is where I gather my books, essays, notes, and whatever I’m building next.

Music

HeyRJ is my sonic soul project. I create raw, minimalist-style and deeply personal music interpretations that feel like a late-night conversation with your truest self.

By blending lo-fi acoustic textures with poetic honesty, my work explores love, loss, grief, healing, and the quiet in-betweens of life. Each song is a letter — a journal entry — a gentle companion for when the world feels too loud or too quiet.

While my catalogue began with intimate cover renditions, my work is increasingly being shaped by original writing, drawing from years of poems, lived questions, and emotional survival.

“Stuck Home Syndrome” released on March 20, 2026 is my first original 20-track album written during a period when time felt compressed and days began to blur into each other. The songs came from sitting with thoughts that had nowhere else to go — unfiltered, repetitive, and sometimes uncomfortable. It’s a concept album that isn’t built around singles or polish. It’s closer to a continuous inner monologue, recorded with minimal production and very little ornamentation and meant to be listened to as one cohesive body of work. The goal wasn’t to resolve anything, only to document how it felt while it was happening.

On May 29, 2026 I released new original singles – “Rapturous”, “Uh Huh”, “Look At You”, “All That” and “Blew Print”. I continue to release both original and cover songs and intend to so for as long as I can so check back every once in a while — you might. just find something you’ll like.

Books

Rebuilding Under Debt: Thinking Clearly When Everything Is a Blur

A nonfiction book about what debt does to the mind — and how to begin functioning again when financial stress has made everything feel blurred, urgent, and overwhelming.

Rather than treating debt only as a financial math problem, the book explores the emotional and cognitive realities of financial distress: shame, decision fatigue, avoidance, panic, relationship strain, and the difficulty of making sound decisions while mentally depleted.

Published under Steady Hand Press. It’s available worldwide in ebook and paperback formats on Amazon. Bookstores and libraries can also be order it wholesale via Ingram.
