Infographic: Blogger Journey

2012-03-04T17:36:00.000+08:00

I've seen this Infographic with Infolinks while checking out my earnings in dashboard. It was actually originated at Problogger.net and the author really did a good presentation on how a blogger starting out his journey in blogging to effective blogger.

I actually see some resemblance in me as a blogger, I have also encounter that troubles in creating my own URL to start with my blog. As a beginner its not really easy as it looks when I started blogging, it somehow overwhelmed to work out and do my homework and learn through it all, and all you can do is to read and search it for yourself as no one you can depend it too. Though I get a supports from blogging friends but it is not right for me to spoon feed everything from them, learning through myself and exploring it, is the best teacher after all.

Enjoy the "Blogger Brain" Infograhic below!

How to Start and Create Your Own Website

2012-02-29T00:11:00.000+08:00

So, you are finally decided to build and create your own website. Nowadays more and more people are beginning to discover that the most high paying job can be just found only at home through the use of their laptops and internet connection. But the question is how to start one? How to build a website?

With the wide range of information that can be found also on net, one can actually create and build their own website for their business, it is just as easy as 1, 2 3! Just following through the whole process and a keen observation by watching a video tutorials can saves you also some time, headache and of course money.

1. Register a domain name.

This is actually the first step in creating a website, it is actually the easiest in the whole process of creating a website, but you need to take time in choosing your own domain name; that will be also serves as your brand name and niche for your website.

But the question is how to register a domain? Many company offers this kind of service such as godaddy.com and 1and1.com! They have their own process of registering your domain name and it will require you first to search your chosen domain name if they are available for you. Once you have done on registering your name and go live, you can now able to go in the next process which is finding a good web hosting for your website.

2. How to set up a web host?

Once you are done with the domain name the next thing that you need to do is find a web host and figured out how to connect your domain and your host. The web host is the company that houses your site and provides you with your email addresses, space for your web pages, free scripts for blogging, forums, social networking, and more. An important reminder when scouting for a good web host is avoiding cheap offers and find an established hosting company. Hostgator has been around for so many years now and has a reputation of being fast, reliant and a very customer-friendly host. It also offers unlimited bandwidth. Just go to their website and choose your budget package.

3. How to configure all and work it properly?

How you create your site will depend on the kind you build. For example, if you want to create a blog, you can take full advantage of the ready built-in templates that comes with the blogging platform (WordPress). I would highly recommend using WordPress because it's the most flexible blogging platform on the Web. What I like about WordPress is you will have access to a variety of templates and plug-ins you can choose from. And when you're ready to change designs and decided what is best for your site it will update instantly! WordPress is not just for blogs where your content is dated and sorted in reverse chronological order. You can use it to create a traditional site as well.

How I Solved Threaded Comment in Customized Template

2012-02-26T17:55:00.001+08:00

Just last Month I was one of the fortunate that discover and try to enable my thread comment on blogger platform , it was successful on my two blogs but not on my blog that have a customized template. Though I enjoy it on my 2 blogs it was frustrating that I cannot use it on my fashion blog to think that I even posted here how to enable thread comment in blogger, even following the keen step doesn't help at all.

Luckily a friend in the group help me to resolves the issue and may even help it out to you too, so here's the step on how to fix it:

1. First back-up your template. To ensure that you can restore it anytime something went wrong on the process of editing it.

2. Go to your "Template" and find "Edit HTML", tick on "Expand Widget Template". Ctrl F to find: <b:include data='post' name='post'/> , then find the codes below:

3. And replace it with the codes below:

4. Save it and check whether the threaded are working now!

Kill Your Blog with CAPTCHA

2012-02-21T22:53:00.000+08:00

Image Source: techi.com

Is your blog having a captcha, the one that your commenter needs to enter before it went through on the blog. Well maybe you need to consider to remove it or made a change in moderating. I can understand that you don't want someone to spam on your blog, especially if the comment doesn't makes any sense to your topic at all. And you think captcha is the one that could filter it. In a way, yes it helps but in some cases it doesn't.

What is CAPTCHA?

According to Wikipedia, a captcha is a type of challenge response test use in computing as an attempt to ensure that the response is generated by person. A common type of CAPTCHA requires the user to type letters or digits from a distorted image that appears on the screen. It is an acronym based on the word "capture" and standing for "Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart"!

Why some blogs have it?
There's a lot of reason why some blogs have it, probably the most precise is for security from spammers. Other bloggers intentionally put it so that their commenter will stay longer on their page but there's a catch for it, as for my experience if I seen that it was a hard captcha, then I'll just leave that blog. And some bloggers are not aware they have it (blogger.com make the template in default of having a Captcha) or don't know how to remove it, and they leave it the way it is. But of course only the blog's author know the real reason for having it.

Here is my experience in commenting to blogs in bloggers platform:
Whenever I blog hop usually in exchanging +1 with other and I find the post interesting I will comment on it. In this case a hero dogs that save 2 young girls before it will hit the two, the dog sacrifice himself even if it cost his life. The hero dog was lucky to be alive but it cut out half of his face.

Here is my first attempt:

Second Attempt:

Third attempt:

Finally it went through and publish already, I almost gave up on my 3rd try but gave some patience and told myself that if it doesn't on fourth then I will just have to leave it. If the comment will publish already after the Captcha then your blog are not safe for spammers. The best practice is to moderate it before you published the comments but if it so, would it be better if you just remove the Captcha and make it easy for your visitor to comment to. I really find it hard to read it and I guess most of readers too, so hope you check your blog now if they have a Captcha or just let it be and kill your blog's popularity. Especially if you don't want a comment in your blog.

Nicki Minaj Live Performance @ Grammys with Exorcising Stuff

Nicki Minaj have tried to ended up her career by performing a weird exorcism act on 54th Annual Grammy's Award where she supposed to entertain us by her rap music, but Nicki Minaj failed to portrayed it, instead she earn a lot of controversy and hatred after doing the show. Personally it was actually embarrassed to watch it, I used to enjoy her music especially "Superbass" and "Teach me how to dougie" and some artist have looked at up on her by doing a cover of her songs. It was the worst performance I have ever seen in entire grammys history.

Died Unnoticed in Internet Cafe

2012-02-10T18:09:00.000+08:00

IPhone 4s "The Search is Over"

2012-02-09T17:30:00.000+08:00

It was already a month where I was scouting for a good smart phone that I can do multi task as a communications and as a used for a good cam to captures anything in an instant. I am also planning to use iPhone to do a push through blogging out of it.

Can't wait for the iPhone:

Finally the search is over, I decided to take for iPhone 4s although I knew that iPhone 5 will be coming out in the market somewhere in the summer outside the country and experts says that it will be introduce in the Philippine by the month of December, too long to wait for and besides I never had my own smartphone ever since of its existence, I called it fruits of my labors and being a thrifty all the time.

Why get an iPhone 4s?

Well everyone says it's the most amazing smart phone yet. A friend of mine says that if you had it you won't look for any smartphone to have, and so I am convinced. Here's what Smart can say about it:

Dual-core A5 chip - the A5 chip delivers up to 2x faster performance and 7x faster graphics, so everything feels quicker, from launching apps to loading web pages.

iCloud - it stores your photos, documents and more and wirelessly pushes them to all your devices.

Camera - it features 8 mega pixel cam, while my present phone just have 1.5 only. This is good also in recording videos features 1080p HD vid with stabilization.

App store - Choose from over 500 000 apps for just about anything like social networking etc.

3 ways to get an iPhone 4s!

There are actually many ways to get an iPhone 4s but these 3 are pretty simple to have it:

1. Buy it - If you have a cash, you can buy it right away either on Globe or Smart Center, you could also ask your parent or hubby to pay it for you. And in my opinion buying it for cash can saves you a lot than having it on plans that will add some charge for having it in advance. Or you can choose the number 2 or 3 options below.

2. Get it at Globe Plans - You can get an iPhone for cash out of Php 23,976 with plan of Php 999 unlisurf combo, or Php 4,800 at plan Php 1,799 monthly. I only scouted for this plan and never bother to ask other plans, for me the second plan suits my budget, and I can pay for it without asking my husbands for extra to support that bill. By the way the plans are lock for 24 months and you can decide whether you still needs a plan or not but not that high as Php 1,799.

3. Get it at Smart Plans - I actually don't like their plans (or I just misunderstood the agent that explains me how the plans works). For what I understood iPhone 4s (16GB) are free for plan Php 2,499 no unlisurf and combo along with that plan. And there is a plan Php 999 + Php 999/monthly that I don't understand why they have a plan like that (and in my opinion the second was a way cheaper than the first if both had no freebies of surf or combo with their plans)

So what plan did I choose?

I choose the plan of Globe Php 1,799.00 with cash out of Php 4800.00 it is already unli-surf combo, meaning unlimited internet but the load for the call and text are separated. Well I just already pass all my papers and just waiting for the release hopefully that I can get it for the next 2 to 3 weeks from now on.

Page Rank Update

2012-02-07T14:44:00.002+08:00

Image Source: seodiscovery.org

My Page Rank:

Yesterday, February 6, 2012 Google have updated all the ranks of websites that has been indexing to them and finally I was able to regain my rank. If you ever notice I lose my page rank of 2 somewhere in October because I transfer this blog to it's new domain. Although I lose all the opportunity of monetizing this blog I patiently wait and update this blog frequently in hopes that I will gain it back here. Well My wait was over because Google gave it back to me with a little increase into PR3.

How often Google Page Rank update?

According to some experts Google may update every three months. But the basis only is the history from time to time that Google have update since its all began, SEO experts are just making a predictions out of it. Only the people at Google knows when they are actually updating it, like last year the update are unpredictable with their interval updates.

2011 Page Rank updates:

November 08, 2011
August 05, 2011
July 18, 2011
June 27, 2011
January 20, 2011

Here's my personal blogging tips to earn Page Rank of 3:

Note: This is just according to my experience it may work for me but may not work for others.But I will still glad to share this with you.

Update regularly - Google love articles, so update always, post anything and try to put some sense on it.
Comment always - I always rant about people not able to comment back when I commented on them but a friend of mine advice me not to feel bitter about it, because the other may not know what he is missing, while commenting to other blogs not only that we gain knowledge from their articles, but we are able to share the linkjuice into their sites by leaving it in the comment form. The more that we spread our links Google may assume that our link has an authority from other blogs. Just remember do not comment like a spam. So I just comment, comment, comment.
+1 it - I always make sure to plus 1 my own articles and as much as possible I try to exchange it with other bloggers, it was like voting our own article to level up in the search engine. Google also announce that by having it using on our website they are already index because Google Plus is their brand (they own it).
Socially Active - I may not be a fulltime blogger and not always online but when I do I try to be more active in all social network like FB, Twitter, Google+, MP5, Mylot and etc. I also try to induce my post link whenever is possible.

I think these all helps me increase my rank,and if your site never got a rank this time, don't worry there is always another update that Google only knows the exact date or month, it maybe April or May (my predictions).

Miley Cyrus on Penis Birthday Cake Leak Scandal

2012-01-29T15:30:00.000+08:00

Click here to see the uncensored pic

There is no doubt another controversy that Miley have been facing these days. The picture above was taken at her boyfriend Liam's party. She was tease by her boyfriend to pose like licking the penis cake in a not so good vulgar way. Although Miley was embarrassed to see her pic posing like that, the photo have been leaked and circulated now on net.

This is not issue if Miley was just an ordinary teenager. But she is popularized by Hanah Montana and idolized by many young girls, who were looking up at her. The question now is: does she need to behave like this if she is a role model by many, being a top celebrity there is no way that she can hide her private life, and any stupid thing that she does will come out and publicized.

In fairness with Miley Cyrus to date she is one of the top celebrities that has a lot of charitable institute that she supports. So what do you think of Miley’s latest scandal? Should she be more careful now, considering that she was named the top celebrity role model, or is she totally entitled to a little naughty fun just like any teenager out there?

Katy Perry tweeted her fans to simmer down after the hot kiss on stage with a young model and ex-PBB housemate Ivan Dorschner in her California Dreams Tour Concert in Manila. Katy Perry added that it was all part of the act which she always do in all of her concerts and tour and the kiss wasn't meant anything at all.

other tour with a kiss, part of the show

in Manila

Katy Tweeted: "Btw, I have *kissed* 1 boy, picked randomly out of the audience, on the cheek as a part of my show for all 125 tour dates. Simmer down now."

I guess pinoys are not used to see such act of Katy; seeing a popular pop star kissed a fan from the audience. The fans who watched the concert says they are all satisfied even-though Katy was late of 2 hours on her show. She was forgiven by it for she end the show with a bang.

Kiong Hee Huat Tsai 2012 Year of the Dragon

2012-01-22T17:18:00.002+08:00

"Kung Hei Fat Choi" in Cantonese to our fellow Chinese communities especially here in our country Philippines or should we say more like "Kiong Hee Huat Tsai"/"Gong Xi Fa Cai" in Hokkien dialect which is more understandable by more Tsinoys (Chinese and Filipino combination). Whichever used to greet our fellows Chinese community the thought is there a greeting of Happy New Year, Congratulations and Wishing you More Prosperity.

Chinese New Year in the Philippines were not considered as official holiday here but this time it is announced to be a Special Non-working Holiday. Chinese New Year were not follow in the Gregorian Calendar but in Lunar Calendar which doesn't have a fixed date, this year date is January 23, 2012

Image Source: shutterstock.com

Here in the Philippines we celebrate Chinese New Year every year in hope of attracting prosperity, peace and harmony in the family. Most Filipino-Chinese families usually clean their homes thoroughly, prepare lucky money in red envelopes (ang pao), serve sweet foods (tikoy or nian gao) and display various food and fruits on a table, which is believed to invite good fortune. Chinese community also participate in parades and dragon dances that are organized in China Towns in different cities here in the Philippines. "Kiong Hee Huat Tsai." or "Gong Xi Fa Cai" and also Hong Bao Na Lai which means give me red envelop please. :D

Let's Unite to Stop SOPA & PIPA

2012-01-18T12:22:00.000+08:00

Many netizens are still lack of information about the SOPA and PIPA, but the said bill will be pass on January 24, 2012 in US Congress, in fact today many website have choose to shutdown temporarily their site in protest of these future law because they know the consequences of it after it had passed.

And why we should worry about because Internet is an open source media that everyone uses around the globe, this is also a place to protest and express freely what you feel about in an event, this is also a bread and butter for many, and most of all these are the place where we store and get some of the information that everyone needs. Social network which we mostly dwelt are not exempted with this bill and mostly these might be out of business too along with the Google, Twitter, Facebook and Yahoo.

So what are SOPA and PIPA?

SOPA stands for Stop Online Piracy Act which gives the governement the power to stop the DNS servers of pointing to a domain name in the USA where the website contains vulnerable link to something illegal. The said site doesn't need to post it themselves. If they fail to delete the link within 5 days, that would gives the government the power to shutdown that website.

PIPA stands for Protect IP Act. It allows the governement to block direct IP connection to servers for the same reasons as explained above. The poster of the illegal material / link, even if it is a cover of a song, can get 5 years of imprisonment.

Almost all entertainment industry and giant companies wants this law to pass. But the question is who would be blocked soon, almost all the sites have a link like that and even the unaware one have it! It would be for the companies owner and government to decide. In my opinion this is a very vague dangerous law idea because it gives the possibility to block all websites that they don't like! This will also target the freedom of speech. Since a lot of petitions and revolutions are started on the internet.

So you also ask, whether do we need also to join the protest even if we are not a US Citizen? I say yes, because it wouldn't take much time that our government will follow these law sooner, especially that Philippines are allies of US.

Grandma's Goulash Blog's Visit Meme

2012-01-11T01:19:00.000+08:00

I was so surprise to learn that Grandma's Goulash site included my two blogs on her meme called Blog Visit. I am actually her regular visitors and commentor before during the time of adgitize but because it was closed now I wasn't able to visit the said site.

But later, she frequently visit mine and so I also visit back, but never knew that she grab my badge for her references before the closing of adgitize. I guess all of members have been thinking of alternative ways to see each other again on blog and build again some traffics.

This post is dedicated to the owner of that site, a very much thank you for putting my badge on your site for exchanging traffic. Hope to see you more often here and others too.

The image below shows my traffic source for the last week on this site.

Along For The Ride Widget

2012-01-08T15:51:00.000+08:00

After the closing of Adgitize all of the member have been looking for a possible alternative traffic source (including me) that can help gain the traffic that we're all experiencing on the site before. All of the members now are really missing it because being on the adgetize you don't have to worry about the traffic or readers for your blog and you will only concentrate your time in blogging.

Luckily, I saw and read on forum this AFTR (the thread was talking about traffic by that time) so I followed the said site and read their rules. I also ask Ed Zafra and here is what he says about it: "The developer has already posted that AFTR's advantage over other blog ad networks is that the visit to a blog will register the URL of the blog where it was clicked. Other blog ad networks show their sites as the origin of the clicks which is could make search engines to classify them as fraudulent"

Here are the official rules for submitting a blog:
Note: You will need also to wait for the approval of your blog before you put their widget.

Site must be a blog.
Relatively family safe. Relatively best describes blogs like mine that are 99% safe with the 1% not safe (but with warnings if needed).
No pop-ups or pop-unders of any type or nature.
No auto-playing music or videos.
No nudity. Important note: some sites, like those dealing with abuse, may have adult oriented discussions not suitable for children. These blogs are forced to Class 3 (Mature).
No porn, hate, or racism.
Blogs with only skantly clad women will not be accepted.
Blogs can NOT break the "Along for the Ride!" frame. This is considered and treated as page hijacking. Offenders will be removed until the hijacking stops. If hijacking becomes repeated, the blog will be banned from AFTR and its directory.
Nothing illegal (no warez, virus, malware, guns, drugs, etc...)
No Ads only blogs.
No MLM (multi-level marketing), pyramid, ponzi or such type schemes.
No MMO sites (make money online). Business opportunity blogs are welcomed as long as they are NOT "get rich quick" or scams (ponzi, et al).
No blogs promoting software to "game" search engines, AdSense or advertiser (Click) fraud.
Blogs over one year with no new articles will be considered abandoned and removed without warning. Email addresses that are undeliverable will also be considered abandoned.
RSS feed with date of last update. Description or article contents are NOT required, only the date of the last article or when you last updated the blog. This is used to verify that only blogs updated in the last 7 days are in the rotation.
At least 12 articles/posts on the blog
All blogs must be in English. The only exception to this is if the blog uses Google or some other Translator and translation is easily and readily available on all pages.
Blogs that do not have the AFTR widget will be listed in the directory, but will NOT be apart of the traffic sharing system (advertised on the widget).
Blogs that have articles older then 7 days will not be listed on the AFTR widget, but will remain in the directory.
All listings and rankings in the AFTR system revolve around AFTR's revolutionary "low man on the totem" (LoMan) algorithm.
The owner may, at any time, edit, reject, refuse, or remove any blog without notice or reason.
Anyone can submit a blog to this directory as long as it complies with these rules, not just the owner. Note: this system uses a spider to find and add blogs to this directory as well as owner/contributor submissions.
You agree to accept periodic emails on updates and other AFTR related news. Your email address will never sold, given out, or shared with anyone else.
Rules may change without notice.

Anti Reflective Zenni Optical Eyeglasses

2012-01-06T17:29:00.000+08:00

Every Friday hubby and I are making sure that we may talk and chat on net, but this week he ask me to chat on Thursday because he will attend a training every Friday which is also a day-off in Middle East countries. Of course we almost talk about everything including his problem in health, hubby is experiencing a slight dizziness and sometimes random headache and I presume that he really needs a glasses which is also prescribe before, when he came here for vacation last year.

So after we finish talking, I immediately search online for a glasses that he may use and will fit on his face. The reason that he doesn't want eyeglasses is maybe it wont fit and suit on his face. Luckily I browse at Zenni Optical site where they offer a frame fit for different size and shape of face that you can actually put on your chosen glasses. I am also amaze on how low their prices are that starts only from $6.95 prescription eyeglasses.

Zenni Optical offers a new innovation of Oleophobic coating that is fingerprint resistant and anti-reflective coating. Their technically advanced super-hydrophobic/oleophobic coated lenses effectively repel water, oil, dust and fingerprints which is common problem in a glasses, while still reducing annoying reflections. Their lenses stay clearer, and are easier to clean which my hubby was looking for. As an AR coating, it significantly reduces reflections while driving or from overhead light reflections, and makes your glasses less noticeable and less reflective in photographs, which is most people regret when seeing their self in a pictures wearing a glasses that reflects in lights. Hubby love it after seeing in on his mail he will soon order one for himself and can't believe how affordable their prices are.

Forget the New Year's Resolutions but Set up your Plans

2012-01-03T21:11:00.000+08:00

Hello 2012, a new days again to renew our life or changing for the better. But I think that most of us get tired of promising new year's resolution which will last only for a month and will forget about it after some time. Most individual will sets a goals of dieting, or quitting in smoking, or will save more and stop the shopping madness and watch their spending habit. But unfortunately just before the coming month of February these promises are soon vanish.

Image Source: ehow.com

Why not changing your resolution by setting up the plans this year like finishing the works that you have started last year. Although it may sounds easy and the procrastination will prohibit us to do it, but plans are more oblige to fulfill than making a resolution.

An example of it is planning on how you will get out of debts, a construction or remodeling of your house, continuing your studies if you are a student or wanted to level up your position at work, resigning from work and get more time to spend with your family. So go ahead now and write down your plans this year, I haven't made mine but I will keep you all updated as soon as I did mine.

Happy New Year Everyone I am anticipating more positive vibes this year of 2012.

Happy New Year 2012

Happy New Year Everyone!

Hope that this year is more prosperous than last year, may we all receive more blessings, good health, and happiness this whole year.

Closing of Adgitize

2011-12-29T01:00:00.001+08:00

Yesterday I receive another email from Mr. Ken, expressing the closing of their service. It sad that it is just a month that I've learned about it and enjoy the traffic that it gives on my blogs. And my friends are right I don't need now to decide if I should continue the ads on them or not because it'll be close anyway in January 2012.

Thanks Adgitize for introducing me to some friends and blogosphere, thanks also for the publisher there that spent time and comment on my blog. And to Mr. Ken the owner of Adgitize.com thank you for answering my queries as soon as you read it, I am glad to have a business with you and hope the best for you and your staff.

Adgitize: Should I Continue It?

2011-12-27T06:00:00.001+08:00

Today I receive the email from Mr. Ken Brown CEO of Adgitize.com informing me that my advertisement will expire in five days from now. Actually I decided to become an advertiser from being a publisher because of a sudden change on my stat. The reason behind it is changing a domain after a long time of using blogspot sub-domain, I decided to buy my own domain since I already earn in blogging but never thought that it will dropped my Page Rank and Alexa Rank on web.

Though I still not gain my Page Rank the adgitize help me increase my rank on Alexa from 23 millionth place to 400k rank in just a month, but now I still can't decide if I should continue to advertise on them or not?

The ad cost is $14 a month and within a grace period of 20 days after the first purchase ad your 2nd ad cost $8 only, saves $6 for another advertisement. Actually I can also recovered what I invested, all I have to do is to post everyday, click ads of 51 blogs, and post 10 ads in each of my blog wherein I have 3 blogs and alternately I updated each one of my blogs just to get my article points of 100. Doing all this everyday gives me back $0.50 to $0.80 everyday.

What I hate about it, I got a pressure to post something everyday, actually I seldom update my blog on the past but after some vacation on blogging and became active again, I then decided to become active and learn how adgi really works, until I became an advertiser. And now can't decide whether should I continue this or not?

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays Everyone!

Few Hours to Go and It's Christmas!

2011-12-24T15:36:00.003+08:00

Today, I know that most of us are busy as a bee preparing for the feast this Noche Buena (Christmas Eve) which we will be celebrating it after a few hours from now. But I am here in front of my laptop and still browsing and blog-hopping; while mom is cooking and busy in the kitchen. I don't know what's got into my mind but I became generous today, that I commented on all of the blogs that I visited, maybe I enjoy to read it also, because everyone now is talking about this great season.

So please don't be surprise if suddenly I had a comment on your blog it is either "Air" or "Chrisair", and maybe you may think that I am just a fool to waste my time to respond on your blog. Cause I also don't know what makes me do it, all I know is I want to give you a very Merry Christmas! Consider this as a bonus from me. Lot's of love and hope you had a good time this Christmas.

Once again Merry Christmas to you my friend!

An Open Letter to PRC in Qatar

2011-12-20T09:29:00.011+08:00

Dear PRC,

I hope that this blog post may reach you and haunt you in conscience. My husband took an exam in Civil Engineering recently, he is one of the unfortunate that did not pass the exam. Surprisingly, only one examinee has passed the exam out of 152 takers.

He took the risk of taking the exam in Qatar even though it will means a whole month salary to pay on the review center, a month of no budget and no allowance too. My husband also experience a restless work due to persistent review every night after work causing him to sleep in less time. I can see that he loss his weight due to this exam, he really wanted to pass the exam but it looks as if your exam don't want anyone to pass it.

I don't want to bragged his knowledge to you but I know my husband's capacity and even his classmates in review center thought that he can pass the exam, it seems everyone assuming it. But how can anyone pass a licensure examination having a 100 problems in every subject in Civil engineering for a shorter of 300 minutes (3minutes per problem not including the shading of answer sheet).

How come in the Philippines the Civil Engineering Licensure examination was composed of only 30 problems per subject while in Qatar 100 problems, are you loosing your mind. I am sorry for my sharp words because congratulations you have been stolen some opportunities that will give to our fellow OFW as what we all called "hero of the nations".

Thank you also for making my husband frustrated that he lost all of his interest in taking the exam in Qatar, thank you for pulling down all hopes and dreams of those who take the exam.

We need an explanation on the part of PRC because it was a unprofessional to change the system without informing the examinee.

How to Put Watermark using Picasa

2011-12-18T13:52:00.000+08:00

I love using Picasa as a photo editor because it is free to download and can be use to store your photos too on its web. Though I never use that feature cause I am more on the editing side of the software as using it in water marking in my pictures.

How to Switch the Position of Your Blog and Post Title

2011-12-08T01:52:00.002+08:00

I am not really an expert in SEO thing, but many would says that changing the position of your blog title over your post title (blog post in a day) will have a great impact on the search engine. Especially if you have a very long blog title.

Take note also that Google truncate only up to 50 characters of the blog title and post including spaces. So if you had a very long blog title plus the title post it may only eats up the blog title to be search and all your post title will be left behind in the search engine. So it is important that you switch the position of it.

This is only for blogger platform as I have no idea about the WP. Go to your layout in blogger and edit HTML. Control F (to find) and look for this
<title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title>

and just replace it with this code:

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>
<title><data:blog.pageName/> | <data:blog.title/></title>
<b:else/>
<title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title>
</b:if>

And then save it. After doing so test and see if the position has changed like this one:

Google Friend Connect No More for non Blogger Site

2011-11-30T02:24:00.002+08:00

It was confirmed, the Google Friend Connect (GFC plug-ins) will be remove by Google for non-blogger site one of these days, see it here. They officially announce it on their official blog along with other widgets. I honestly feel sad about it, exerting our effort to make follow by other bloggers are meant to be a meaningless now. Though we can't control everything (who are we to complain) but just to accept the fact about it and move along.

So no more asking for "follow me, I'll follow you back" and some plus points in winning a contest in blogs by adding the owner through GFC.

Well let's move on, after all that widget have been experiencing some glitches from the past two weeks. And so instead of saying "Could you follow me in GFC" we will be saying now "Could you follow me on Networked blogs and like also my page"!

Such a very long sentence to ask, don't you think? By the way please follow me on Networked Blogs and like my blog too! Lol^_^

How to Use Entrecard to Advertise your Blog

2011-11-29T18:35:00.002+08:00

I love all free forms of advertising my blog, and one of them is Entrecard. It is not easy to build up my popularity in blogosphere that's why whenever I can make most out of it as long as it is free; I grab the opportunity. Basically Entrecard are easy to use while most of my friends can't understand how it works, well at first I can say that I am also one of them until I read and search what is the purpose of it. Only one word that I can say about it "Advertising".

So how to use it:

Whenever you blog-hop or read other blogs and you see the word "drop" on it, just click it, and that's it you got an "ec points". The more that you can collect points is the better, you can use it and advertise it through Entrecard. But remember this, you need to log in first on Entrecard site before you can drop and you will know that you are not log if instead it says "Drop" you will see "Get one!"; meaning you need to log in your account at Entrecard so you can drop. Wait till it says "Thanks!"

Here's how to advertise at Entrecard:

1. First you need ec points you can see it on top right of the site. The cheaper advertisement cost is 2 ec, which is fairly fair (imagine having 300 ec points equals to 150 blog advertisement).

2. Go to campaign tab and it will lead you by category; choose cheap. (I always do because the popular blog cost 40 - 300 ec per day).

3. You will see a lot of badge blog and below it is: wait, price and advertise; it means the day that your blog will appear on them and the price per day or ec points)

4. Click the "Advertise" to buy it with your ec points and that's it. Your blog badge will show on their blog and a tendency that you will have a visitor thru their blogs.

By the way if your reader drop on your Entrecard you will also get points, a win win situation for you and your reader. So go ahead drop on my Entrecard.

Got Hit by a Virus (NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM)

2011-11-25T02:59:00.001+08:00

Just recently my laptop got hit by a virus/worm or malware virus, whatever I called it, it is nasty and needs to remove fast as soon as possible. My lappy keeps on restarting after booting up a while and then here comes the message that my laptop will get restarted after 1 minute and it will have its countdown and then boom restarted.

The message is:

This system is shutting down. Please save all work in progress and log off. Any unsaved changes will be lost. This shutdown was initiated by NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM.

Time before shutdown : 00 :00:59

Message
Windows must now restart now because the DCOM Server Process Launcher service terminated unexpectedly

What I do:

As usual searching for an answer thru internet, good thing I have a computer shop for me to browse net for an answer. But before that I unplug first my cable where my lappy connected so that It wont spread in network. But unfortunately can't find a solid solution on my laptop but finding out how to stop the restarting process but never the removal of its virus.

Whenever the message pop out I should run a command of shutdown -a and it will stop to restart for a while. Though I have Mcafee anti virus it didn't detect for a 10nth time that I scan it so in two days I am using my laptop running that command while scanning and updating Mcafee ( I am really so lazy to format my laptop I forgot now where is my driver installer located that's why...)

And finally my antivirus detected it and deleted it, without reprogramming my system. And back to normal browsing and usage.

Making my Blog a Friendly Comment Posting

2011-11-20T10:00:00.016+08:00

This post may apply only to blogger platform.

In my experience of blogging every commenter that posts on my comment leaves their URL link or their website. I understand of course why they do that because it was my way too; hoping that they will have also a courtesy of commenting back on my blog. And of course since I need also traffic I commented back to those who will comment on my blog.

I try to put commentluv (intending to show comment's recent blog post) on my blog but in order to do that I need to use IntenseDebate before it can work out but some problem arises. The IntenseDebate sometimes crashes and don't work for some time or having its error time, so my reader just turned off commenting on it. Some can't see my IntenseDebate comment form and some can't comment at all. I had no choice but just remove it at all.

Now I only use the Blogger comment form which is mostly the easiest to do but I add "Anyone - includes Anonymous Users" so that my commenter may have a privileged to leave their link along their comment without hypertext or hyperlink on it. Although I allowed it also but this usually goes direct to my moderation dashboard. How many times that you want to comment back using their google profile only to discover that the user has a lot of blogs listed in his/her profile.

Click the picture for a larger view

I also remove the captcha which is sometimes annoys by reader to post a comment. I still believe in blogger spam filtering (hoped so). And use only embedded below form to reduce the bandwidth of reader if they happen to comment on my post.

So just for summary my comment form is:
1. Embedded below form
2. Includes anonymous to comment
3. No CAPTCHA
4. It displays automatically
5. An e-mail will notify me if anyone commenting on it. (usually it does for all)

We miss you Elisa, RIP !

2011-11-15T17:43:00.000+08:00

Thanks be to the God that we had a picture with her.

This is Elisa named after my son's friends and I don't have any idea why they choose name Elisa for our new puppy. She came with my brother from Laur, Nueva Ecija given by him from his colleagues and he knows that my son will surely love it so he gave it away to my son.

But not so long ago in only two weeks of staying on us Elisa suddenly died out of no reason, we really don't know why. So sad to know that she die, I almost hid a tears for her. Bye Elisa we hope you had a good time with us and thanks for the joy that you've been with us.

Why you need some hosting image on your blog?

2011-11-04T22:25:00.000+08:00

This is my question too before, as I start in blogging in 2010. I used to be active in a lot of blogging community just to gain a readership of my blog. All of my peers that visited my blog have complain that my blog loads very slow on their browser. Some advice me that if I want a good follower, I need to lessen the time of loading of my page. And if I don’t do anything about it I might just lose my reputation as a blogger. Afraid that their theory might come true, I need to figure out of why my blog loads so slowly.

As a newbie I thought that having some cool gadget and unnecessary element can beautify my blog but never thought that this can ruin my blog also. I did everything to minimize the loading time. Until I notice that the pictures is the culprit. The only solution that I can find out is to host it to other site. It is like a site holding all the pictures for your blog.

Hosting image on other site can really saves some time to load on your blog. As a blogger image can have a very good impact on the quality of your content. There’s a lot of site that offers free hosting for your image like: Flickr, Photobucket, Tinypic, Free image hosting and my favorite of all is Facebook.

Yes seriously, I host my picture on Facebook, the reason for this is I don’t want to redistribute my pictures on the web for free. If they will get it on my blog then it’s okay because it means another traffic on my site but if it will just readily available on the net, then chances are they can’t get it on my blog but on others site.

Another thing that I love to host it on my Facebook account is that I can make it private that my friends won’t notice that picture but still can view it on my blog. So save some time to load your page by hosting the images on other site or in your own Facebook account.

Birthday sweets!

2011-10-22T23:00:00.002+08:00

Even if we don't tell anyone our birthday because the fear that our friends might tease us to throw a blow out or treat them a feast, they will know anyway because we are all have an account in FB that we forgot to set the notification. October 19 is my birthday, my favorite number too because it is always a winning number in small lottery (jueteng lol!). And so my wall have been flowing by birthday greetings; thanks to all who greeted me there and thank you also for keeping on coming back here even-tough I'll seldom update.

Thank you Lord for the life and blessings, this past few month are very tough but you never let me down. Thanks also to my sweetest husband who texted me tonight to see his profile pic:

actual pic

He is in Qatar and it's been 3 years now since we never been together with our birthday, and he bought this cake for me but I never tasted it, still sweet!

Dengue Prevention

2011-10-14T01:11:00.002+08:00

Dengue is on the loose again. Every-time that rainy season is on, expect some diseases like dengue. And so this post of mine is kinda helpful to all moms out there who wants to protect their children from getting a dengue.

Let me tell you about the dengue first. Dengue is transmitted by several species like mosquitoes. It has a four different types of virus. And this virus are present mostly in Asian countries were the climate is tropical. They bite primarily during the day. Humans are the primary host of the virus, but it also circulates to a non human primates. Mostly children and babies are the common victims of this disease and the fact that the child is well nourish he/she are more prone to have this disease.

And so how can we protect our young? Some tools and equipment could help with a little creativity and approach:

1. Using a mosquito coil (katol) - mosquitoes tend to go away when they saw a smoke plus the fact that it has an unpleasant smell. Mosquito are sensitives too that they don't appreciate its smell. But it is way better to have this smoke around us just to be protected.

2. Repellant lotion or spray - is just like using an insecticides but has a lower content of chemicals than that they use on farms. Of course its smell is not pleasurable at all but these companies manage to lowered it because some children tend to not wearing or having it because of it's bad smell. And so the mosquitoes too.

3. Bugs Repellant - This has smell too that both children and mosquito didn't like it. But it helps to repel the mosquitoes. Let your children wear this as these might help them not to have a dengue disease. It is also relatively cheaper nowadays. Than to spent your days with your child in the hospital.

4. Mosquito Net - this was usually use during nighttime. It serves as a barrier from mosquito.

5. Electric Mosquito Bat - Just charge it and you are ready to kill those nasty mosquitoes, just sway to the target and it will toast.

6. Increase your young immune system by eating and drinking healthy food. A former principal of my son advices us to give our children a tonic and energy drink to boost the immunity of our child.

And this will end of my post, there is a lot of suggestions as to prevent dengue by me but due to a tighter budget , i only suggest what works for me. Thanks for your time.

The Finger Letter Assignment

2011-10-07T23:19:00.004+08:00

It is now exam time for my son and I am having a hard time to teach him the lesson that he need to review. And so because I am in the mood now to type his reviewer and even make a diagram that he could easily remembered.

The subject is Computer, the least of his favorite in class. And during our recap he can't memorize the finger letter assign in each finger. I am actually guilty about this because I am not really a good type writer person, I used to make a dot there, here, and everywhere whenever I type.

I make my own diagram, its not good but at-least the assignment of each finger position is the more important than my wacky drawing.

And maybe someone could also used this as their reference. And from now on I should practice this finger assignment for each finger, which can make me a pro type-writer, and will help me speed up my typing ability.

My Wedding @ Palayan City

2011-09-10T21:49:00.001+08:00

Recently we held our wedding at Palayan City last August 14, 2011. It was a horrific experience for me to organize it only by myself. And at last it wast already done. The most stressful job Ive ever done in my life. But the truth is we already legally husband and wife thru the office of our Mayor here in our town Bongabon, Nueva Ecija in almost 8 years also known as civilly married.

Well our Church Wedding is a promise actually by my loving husband, we decided to postponed it a long time ago due to lack of financial and concentrate on my pregnancy and his job hunting during that time. And so after 8 years it didn't occur to me that everything have change now, I never realize that there is a lot of things to prefer and to consider it unlike before. There is a prenup that I think it never exist before. Some Photography and Videography that I never thought will be the burden to my budget. Well maybe weddings now are more complicated than ever before. So guys think twice, thrice and even a million times before going into this world of family. Going to this wedding thing is really a first thing trial on the part of husband and wife to be, so you need to really value it.

SmartBroadband Connection

2011-09-06T23:11:00.000+08:00

This Internet Service Provider has been killing me now for quite some times. When my due date is up their agents are really fast to call you and reminded you that it is now time to pay the net or else you got disconnected. This is okay if their ISP are really fast, but no they are not. If you open a 3 browser at a time the browser will automatically disconnected and you will get disappointed. Also you cannot upload your video because this slow provider with a very fast agents to remind you to pay the bill will make you wait for 3 days to upload the video. Oh well, I wish that PLDT will launched their DSL here in our area and if that time comes, goodbye SmartBroken, you broke my heart I realy need a fast connection here in Bongabon, Nueva Ecija.

Ive got boil (How Sad)

2011-09-01T23:12:00.000+08:00

It's almost four days now that I am suffering in this boil I got out of nowhere. And my annoyed husband always teased me with it, he says that I got a disease that only a prisoner always got. Hu huhu how sad it really hurts me right thru my bones, it is located in my left side body and i can feel it thru my ribs.

I wished that I noticed it early, I thought that I only got a pimple on my body, too late that it has grown its size to a boil. Because if I knew it early I could prevent it by my cousin's traditional remedy for this boil. Putting an oldies pomade around the area could have it disappear and will gone without noticing it. But the problem is pomade is not available anymore huhuhu, maybe because its nasty smells or maybe its not a demand anymore because of different gel product that come out.

I hope I could dig some preventive remedies for this skin disease. But for now I am waiting for the eye of the boil to come out and stop this suffering.

New Bill

2011-07-02T00:10:00.000+08:00

Today I declared that this is my lucky day, because this is the first time that I ever received the new bill that was been made under the new administration PNoy (President Noy). Well at first I'm a bit suspicious about it because I can't tell whether it is authentic or not.

But what a heck, just hoping that it is authentic and this is the first time that it was handled to me, a payment for a load because I am a Load Central dealer and retailer. And yeah I feel lucky today and the next day, I feel gratitude about it, i feel excited about it. I am welcoming money pouring on my account, in my wallet and in my box cashier. Please money stay with me and always come to me, you are always welcome in me. (just daydreamin...(^_^)Air.)

The Skin Shop Cosmetics and their BB Creams

2011-05-31T21:35:00.006+08:00

I've been hearing about the goodness of these BB (Blemish Balm) creams also known as The Beauty Magician for the last years and so. Mostly these cosmetics really popularized in Korea and now even celebrities here and abroad are raving for it.

I also stumbled it upon in cable channel where our Cable provider also include Korean Channel where there was a show that features a beautician and applied it on the Host of shows and then compared the before and after the application of BB creams and the result is really amazing in an instant.

My anti depressant remedy

2011-05-18T23:35:00.000+08:00

A lot of things that happen in our life's either positive or negative yet we can overcome it or we can't contain it. If it positive then its okay to celebrate it. This maybe a success in career or business, a lovelife, family safety, a social gathering or reunion with old friends or from far away relatives. But if it is negative we tend to become sad about it, lazy and totally depressed at all. As soon that it hit us we may think that boom, its the end of the world or its really helpless at all.

I believe that every one of us are having our own trials and even me is not exempted at all. I wanna share my own anti depressant remedy, hoping that maybe I could learn more from you or you can pick up from me:

1. Having a conversation with someone. The truth is this will tend me to hear some gossip from anyone. Hearing some stories from others with their own problems is like a reliever from me thinking that, atleast I don't experience that or I'm much luckier from them.

Another thing is when my peers is so happy with what is she talking about and she seems so happy and very positive with their life then it maybe contagious that I automatically happy about it and forget the heck of what is my problem by that time.

2. Using a social network. Internet now become a doors leading us to communicate with our friend as easy as 1 2 3. Just saying hi and hello. Some chatting and talking each others life. As for me I can caught my sister online on FB, and my time also to share my about to her, some advice and some laughter with her gives me some security in life.

3. Watch, watch and watch. Whenever I'm depressed I tend to become busy watching video on youtubes, some post video on Facebook and in TV. But I only watch those video that will make me inspire and I actually ignore some current news and a tear jerking movies. I only watch movie that is a comedy and a light romance with a character that can never let down by problems.

I specifically watch "How clean is your house" in youtube a reality show in UK where Lovely Ladies visits house that became filthy because some of these people collecting filth in their lives are mostly those that also a depress people, and then seeing some light and a right path to cleanliness. And a new start also to deal with daily lives.

4. Read. I always read all things that interest me. Reading can manipulate my mind and can make my imagination busy so I forget my problems. I also encountered some solution in my problems through reading and researching.

5. Some prayers. Although I am not a religious type person but I tend to talk to God with my problems, asking some help and a lots of thanks by reminiscing all good things that happens in my past. It was like a magic that can swept all my worries in no time.

Actually I really hate it whenever I feel down and depress because I know that this will also attract more negative thoughts and more problem in me and will make me slowly sink in emotions. So depression is also equals to negative thought that repel some good opportunity and welcomes all complicated situations and arise more problems.

What's up with the picture!

2011-05-10T23:54:00.000+08:00

I want to post a blog behind this picture on what is this thing about. But I am skeptical about it because it looks like gross in some point of view.

Well I need your vote whether I will make a post about this one on my other blog Raketer Mama or not. Please help me to decide by voting and commenting here.

Place cleansing

2011-04-29T22:42:00.000+08:00

Have you ever thought why some place or business does not prosper even if the place has been offering a good service. Well I do, though I always think of it in a positive way that maybe some clients are just resting or just postponing to go to that place because of a sudden trip somewhere or meetings with others. Ive been thinking it that maybe because of negative vibes that surrounds on that place and repel some positive to come by.

Feng shui beliefs is very common to all of us Filipino influentially by our old generations and by our ancient subjugator, and by our fellow chinese whom to choose to live here and migrated here. And I could say that I am one of them though I am not really an expert but pick up some practice.

Actually last month I open a business but until now I still can't see it to go well and I am thinking that maybe the previous dweller there left some bad vibes energy as they also not succeed on that place and decided to leave the place, and now that I am the new owner of that place, I am planning to cleanse the place to remove all the negative energy circulating in that place.

To cleanse that place I will need a sandal wood or incense, rock salt and an affirmation. An affirmation is something like "I enlighten this place with positive love, prosperity and good health, as I banish all negative energy to leave this place and never ever come back again". Start with removing unnecessary things and clutter on that place and myself to cleanse first and not to absorb the bad vibes by burning the incense and let the smokes surrounds my body and around with my feet and above my head. Work my way on clockwise on each of the room while smudging and reciting the affirmation, filling every corner with the smoke. After this I will throw a pinch of salt in every corner of the room or place. And as I do this I need to be very positive about doing this as we should also be whether we are a believer or not. Let see if this work and I am hoping that it will. Wish me all the luck.

Summer tragic

2011-04-20T22:32:00.000+08:00

While eating my dinner last night my brother told a bad news to us. That the very prominent resort here in Bongabon, Nueva Ecija had their swimmer died on the pool, it was a heartbreaking news because the person that died that day is just as young as my son is, which is seven years old only, he then added that if we planed to go there, we should be careful, guard and watch our children while they play on water, it doesn't matter if we don't enjoyed it as long as we make sure that the childrens are safe while enjoying pool. My appetite that night have lost thinking how does that happen. My brother also told that the child is still in the below of water before someone step on it and noticed that it was a boy on the bottom of the pool.

The next day I've told it to my cousin which is my good foreman of my ongoing construction of the house, I told him to be very careful when they have gone swimming and really watch the children, cause I know that in their compound there is a lot of children and they didn't miss summer without going to the beach or resort. I was surprise that the time that the young boy died on that resort, their whole family are also there and witnessed the scene while trying to survive the boy. They also conclude that the boy survive and live because they saw a boy with the same shirt and short that the drowned boy wearing were walking again on the side of the pool and looking over the water pool and leave the place. But then someone told that the boy doesn't survive, the pulse of it was gone, and it was declared dead already. And they feel goosebumps thinking who is the boy that they saw and walk along the side of the pool.

My cousin told me that maybe while constructing the whole place they never offered a live blood on that site to prevent a future bad-luck on the place, because that was the third year that the resort takes life and it has been believe that it will go on every year from now and then. I almost laughed at it but my cousin's face is so serious that I respect his belief and became also serious as he is. My cousin has been on the construction eversince he graduated in highschool and he learned his skill as the years go by. And every construction that his team make they pour blood on the foundations, small or big project it never missed to practice this way, he also added that one time the owner ignore this belief one of the sub-contractor of the steel for the roof framing have slipped and pierced by their own steel and died on that project. And so after that incident they insist it from the owner of what they construct for to pour and offered some bloods on the site to prevent some lives to be taken in present or in the future.

The boy that drowned that day wasn't with his parent, they only knew that the boy is with his cousins and some neighbors only. That resort doesn't have a train lifeguard to watch over and to put some first aid if accidents happens even if it is always full pack during summer. So we decide not to go to that resort this year. And I prayed that the boy may find his rest in peace and a prayers also that it wont continue to takes life.

Construction superstition.

2011-04-13T23:40:00.000+08:00

I graduated as a Civil Engineer known to be a responsible in constructing roads, bridges, buildings and houses. And here in the Philippines a superstition is a part of our culture that believes also practicing by our early generation, superstition are strictly followed by builders. I only knew one because superstition of course doesn't discuss mostly by my professor during my college years, and that is "don't mixed cement inside a renovating house or one of the members of that home will die soon". Creepy, that's why every one followed than sorry.

live chicken cut on their throat

But during my construction of my own house I still learn that there is also a lot of superstition that I only knew at that moment. One of them is to pour blood came from a live animal in every post of your house, believes that these can make the structure more stronger. There is also belief that the owner should throw coins in every footing of the house making the owner shouldn't struggling in their home finances. A belief also to put first a lugaw (cooked rice in mush) full of chicken in the perimeter of wall footing. The stairs also had only a number of steps by repeating oro, mata, plata and shouldn't be falls in mata which means bad luck. Each doors of the house shouldn't facing straight to each other, one should move a little so that they are not. The main entrance door should be in the direction of the rising sun.

As for me because I am also obsessed by Feng Shui I also followed its lucky number and prevent the number of bad luck. My house plan had a 13 columns in it's original plan but I decided to disregard one to make it 12 during the construction.

This superstition is only my personal choice you could or any builders don't followed it, but for me there is nothing to lose if we followed it, as I've said before it is better to follow than sorry. But most important above it all is your faith and being positive about it while building your home.

From black head to cystic pimp

I've never learned my lesson, not to pop out my black head or white head out of my pore. Today I went to see a doctor just to check my pimple that I tried to pop out but unfortunately it didn't so the result charaan cystic pimple (ouch).

Last week I was tempted to poke it out because it is nearly ripen out of my pore and maybe because of my carelessness, stupidiness and clumsiness I am awarded by hardened pimple. The bump is small in the beginning but as the days goes by the bump becomes bigger and bigger and hard too. Worried that it might getting worse I went to a Dermatologist which I didn't usually do when having a facial, I prefer aesthetic beautician as it is more cheaper than to look for a professional.

I went to Skin Center in Mega Center the Mall in Cabanatuan City as this is the most popular Derm Clinic in the province, I thought at first that the check up was an easy appointment but then I was again wrong. I waited for almost three hours in line and patiently waited for the other patients to finished their check up before my turn. And even as the time goes on (I arrive there at 2 pm) the patients in this clinic are still keep on coming as if there are something wrong with their skin (honestly I can't see what's wrong with some of the patients).

So when my turn now for check up the doctor see it as cystic pimps, the doctor pricked it out immediately and inject something on my pimple, really ouch, and I just could feel the fist of his hand as if it is continually beating my face because he also prick some of my black head that already ripen in my pore. Then prescribe anti biotic med and ask me to press the said pimp for 20 minutes. (Can you imagine me pressing my face while paying, buying, eating and sipping waffles and buko express, hungry the whole time that I've waited).

Next time I won't do anything stupid on my face again, huhuhu!

I heart my new found mascara!

2011-03-24T22:10:00.001+08:00

I have tried a lot of mascara from expensive to the cheapest. And I end up throwing them away or giving it away to relatives. I just hate that the purpose of it doesn't serve, instead f giving my eyes an attractive look it result only to smudge, fake and bringing down lashes instead of curling it up.

I actually admire all girls that give justified look when they use mascara it looks sexy, innocent and charming whenever they wear it, and desiring also to have that look but sad that it wont work on me.

But then as an avon lady (franchise dealer of Avon) I am tempted to get for myself and try other make-up available at Avon especially if they are on sale. So when SUPER SHOCK is on sale I never think twice to get for myself.

This mascara is different from other mascara that Ive tried, the package are long and so the brush also and the diameter of brush is bigger than ordinary mascara. What I love also in this mascara is it separates my lashes giving it an emphasize on your lashes, too bad that I had a short lashes but it still curled up with this mascara, and this mascara looks really really good for longer lashes, you should try one of this when it is on sale. I got mine for only Php 199.00 ($ 4.58 ) minus the discount as an Avon lady.

Ready to shine this summer?

2011-03-17T23:30:00.001+08:00

This year everyone now is awaiting for the summer to begin, as we all experiencing a long cold wind weather. And my family are now excited, we are planning to go to Gabaldon, Nueva Ecija this coming summer. The family want to hike and of course enjoy the beach and their resorts.

Even if I am into whitening I just can't resist to pursue this plan as I want to enjoy the sun and the view, and who doesn't want to relax a bit and unwind, I guess no one. As I am also a camera pose addict this is the time to shine and post like a nothing to care of. But of course we need some extra protection under the sun so we may not end up burnt our skin. Good thing that sun protection factor are readily available in almost all lotion which also serves to have a whitening effect in our skin.

Taking a ride

2011-03-15T21:10:00.000+08:00

Just today I almost get myself hurt while riding single. It was really a windy and dusty all over the town so my advise here is to wear sunglasses while riding. And just like a bad driver who always take over the lane I am also guilty, I am in a hurry today to get to the place that I need to go to. But thankfully save again, I thank our Lord that he always guided me and never let me get into the accident because of carelessness.

Green Monday # 2: Church

2011-03-14T12:15:00.001+08:00

This is my entry this Monday.

The church behind me is called The Divine Mercy church located at Palayan City, Nueva Ecija. The church is private and it is situated in the middle of farm. It is really peaceful there and a good place to get unwind and relax, the grass also is inviting to make you want to lay down. The place also surrounded with beautiful landscape and of course trees. A beautiful place to get married (wink).

pink fridays: milk soap

2011-03-11T08:47:00.000+08:00

Last time I wasn't able to join the Pink Friday. And now I wake up early just to join this meme. This is my entry today at Pink Friday.

I actually sell whitening products both online and here in my place. While I am into whitening Ive got this idea to sell too since I'm always run out of stocks and all my products are not easily can find in any grocery or drug store.

This Yoko yogurt spa milk soap are originally came from Thailand it whitens skin and it smells really good. This soap are very gentle and i love it when starting to get foamy in my face, it feels really soft. The soap itself are literally colored pink.

Please support also my cuckoo clock entry here, please make a comment also. Thanks in advance

Happy Pink Friday to all.

How I remove my caffeine addiction

2011-03-09T22:57:00.000+08:00

A lot of people will agree to me that drinking coffee makes us feel refresh and energize. This is okay if I drink it moderately 2 cups a day is good but 6 cups a day is way too far. But sometimes I was beyond more than six cups of coffee per day. And this is called caffeine addiction.

There are also benefits in caffeine but if it exceed is not good also. One of the good benefits of caffeine is anti-aging and anti-oxidant. But the bad effects is insomnia and ulcer.

I actually don't have plan to remove my coffee in my everyday life until I decided to loose weight. Yes, coffee is related to my reducing weight because of the pills that I purchase (which I don't actually want to advertise it, unless you want too just contact me for the details). That pills obligate the user to refrain from drinking coffee as it will reverse the effect and it will help you more awake when you take coffee at the same time.

So choosing from unhealthy fat me with my everyday coffee or a healthy fit me (that now I've achieve) without coffee, of course with my eyes closed I choose the second one, I sacrifice the coffee for the sake of beauty. At first it was hard to start the day without coffee thinking that I can't fully awaken myself without a splash of hot coffee in my stomach, I get used to it. I started to love powder milk which we now shared by my son. And what I discovered is that I only wants coffee before because I want something hot in my stomach, which milk can serves it too.

I choose Bear Brand this is the most affordable milk in the market.

Coffee makes me want to eat more, I drink also coffee in between meal before, it makes my stomach ready to accept more food because the coffee washes them away making some room for more food that I believe I gain more weight.

So that's it I removed my caffeine addiction for the sake of my appearance which now pays a lot, my hubby loves my new body now, It makes him crazy too to want me more (lol.)

Jeans + Leggings = Jeggings

2011-03-07T15:43:00.000+08:00

I have actually no choice but to choose to wear jeggings than my old jeans, although I had a pair of skinny jeans, it is not fit to me anymore, so to prevent myself to buy another size of jeans cause you know I am a wise spender and I don't know when will I loose or gain weight (my weight and tones before are inconsistent due to my home workout), and with my eyes closed I buy a pair of jeggings which cost Php 899.00 (21 $).

The jeans that I wear in both pictures are the same from fit to become ugly loose jeans.

Jeggings is like leggings when fit but the structure and texture of it outside are look like a real jeans.

Bought at HerBench in N.E Pacific, Cabanatuan City

when worn...

The size of my jeggings are 27 inches which in truth my real waist is 28-29 inches. So I can wear this jeans even if I loose or gain weight cause it will not noticeable where in reality it is actually leggings which is stretchable. (^_^)

My son's dreaming of having our own cuckoo clock!

2011-03-02T19:16:00.003+08:00

My son started to get fascinated with cuckoo clock popularly known as the family of grand father clock when we visited my Auntie in Alabang who is at that time have been bedridden already. They had these cuckoo clock that got attention of my son when it sounds "cuckoo". And in addition to this my son also beginning to amaze with cuckoo clock as he also sees it regularly on cartoon network. He started to wanted also a cuckoo clock in our home.

My Auntie's cuckoo clock have been older from me, I am now 30 years old and also as a young myself I am also fascinated about it when I was young, but then I thought clock like that has not to be tough by then until we saw it again for the last time that is is still actually working.

So having a cuckoo clock will be worth if it stays too long for us and will also be enjoy by my future grandchildren. Also having a cuckoo clock is like treasuring a good furniture and will be also noticeable if we had a visitors in our home. And having an advantages to gaze about cuckoo clock on the web, my eyes caught an attention with the Sinix Corporation who mostly they are the most leading wall clock world class manufacturer today.

Their Sinix cuckoo clock is made of wooden case, Poly urethane carving, every hour cuckoo or doll alarms with melody, it is also auto night shut off which is not really disturbing in our sleep.

Card reader

2011-03-02T15:58:00.000+08:00

Card reader is essential gadget for many especially those who have computers, cellphone, digi cam and for us owner of Internet Cafe shop card reader is a must. Although other gadget like cellphone or digital camera have their own usb cord there will be time that these will be worn out and for me that always oblivious in many things losing usb cord is just ordinarily known in me.

Looking for the replacement of my usb is card reader only. I found a cheap one in CD-r king where you can buy any gadget under the sun. I actually give a budget for my card reader for 150 Pesos (3.4 dollar) because the last time that I buy a single card reader for just a mini sd card is 150 also. It still surprises me that I could actually buy an all in 1 card reader for only 50.00 Pesos (1.2 dollar).

I patiently fall in line for this one because as you know CD-R KING have always a lot of customer in it even nearing its closing time. Though skeptical that for the price of 50 it wont actually work, what the heck I can always return it in a given 1 week replacement period and 1 month service.

Falling in line in CD-R KING are tolerable but their sales are sometimes annoying. If you need to buy something into their store my tips to you is don't ask them because all the time they don't know what you are talking about just pin point what you need to buy and pay, then go home.

Luckily my card reader that I bought from them are actually working and if these stays long for its purpose then my 50.00 pesos are worth it.

Choosing rural bank is not bad at all

2011-03-01T16:12:00.000+08:00

We are patronizing rural bank for how many years now. In fact the employees and the manager of our rural bank knows us really and treat us good, that we had always a gift during the Christmas season. Though some of rural banks in the country have been upside down and choosing rural bank might be risky for some and will definitely choose commercial bank instead.

The truth is these rural banks have offers more higher interest rate than known commercial bank. Not knowing that rural banks are more friendly when it comes to their service rather than a commercial bank. Rural banks offers up to 10% per annum while commercial bank offers 2% per annum.

These are the monthly interest earned in rural bank but I decided to rollback it adding to the principal amount and have it earned also an interest every month.

I like also idea that they help micro enterprise to save in a convenient way, by sending a collector in the market to collect depositors money, and luckily I was also entitled for these benefits that's why I seldom go to the bank now. These micro entrepreneur mostly consist of market vendor and for them going to the bank is the least that they do, their time mostly devoted into their business transactions and obtaining goods on consignment basis. And like any banks in the country rural banks is the easiest bank to borrow money for your starting business.

I highly recommend that you start to patronize the benefits of having a rural bank in your place. Just make sure that it exist for a long time, and know that these banks are insured by PDIC bank.

Tip to all Civil Engineering grad or planning to take the exam...

2011-02-23T23:10:00.000+08:00

After my hubby announces his plans of taking the board exam in CE, we decided that I will also help him in his rewinding again to fill those stagnant years. I will research every possible problems on the web and will E-mail it to him, then he of course will make his way to solved it.

But World wide web seems somehow limited to its content and he is not contented with I have research for him. It looks like that all I gathered seems easy to solve for him and he is actually complaining that it is all in the same patterns and differs only in numerical. 

He wants me to find a good book in National Bookstore that suits for the exam in Civil Engineering although I am a little irritated with him(costly again) I don't have any plans to argue and just decided to follows what he wants, after all I need to support him in his exam, even if we are miles apart.

All of his housemate are very supportive too, they even suggest a good book to him and help him to understand better some problems (some of his housemate are board passers already), and they actually discovered that all the books of Besavilla which is very common reviewer and actually recommended by our Professors in our University in Nueva Ecija University of Science and Technology (NEUST) are full bunch of errors and mistakes.

Yes, Besavilla books are not really reliable, some of his problems and formula are complicated and it is actually wrong. My husband has always encountered it during his self studying and annoyed that why in the hell he can't compared the answers as it told in the books of Besavilla. That time it was also the same observation of his fellow housemates that the book itself is giving a wrong answer.

My husband's housemates suggestion books are not from Besavilla and that was the book that I am looking for at the National Bookstore as he told me to look and buy it,  but what I've discovered is all that they sell in Engineering are mostly from Besavilla.

The National Bookstore actually knew that all of Besavilla works contains mistakes and error (my gosh they knew and yet they still buying and selling it to the poor consumer possibly will take the board exam).

I just hope that the author will revised it and will give also some privilege for those who already bought the book because we actually did before. And for those who will take the exam and have plans to buy the book of Besavilla (especially those who will take planning to self-review), to try to look for other authors or you might as well get irritated during your reviewing causing you some headache.;)

My wishlist: Fitflop

2011-02-21T00:24:00.000+08:00

Get a workout while you walk. 

Ows come on! I actually saw some girls wearing this one, and curious why it is called fitflop, I immediately asked Google why fitflop are everywhere now, wearing by every girls and ladies in mall, the design for me looks simple and ordinary. So why this sandals are worn now by many and why am I the only one not know that it is actually exist now, thinking that maybe I am now late again with the new trends.

Here is the google answers:

1. Increase the bottom muscle activation up to 30%

2. Increase hamstring muscle activation up to 16%

3. Increase quadriceps activation up to 19%

4. relieve joint stress by absorbing up to 22% more shock

While walking it helps you tone and tightened your legs muscle without exerting effort. The footwear also can relieve aching feet. So this is really recommended while on tour and in places that required a long walk.

Now I know now why this baby is a hit, everyone now wants to be fit by wearing this one. 

And now I am wanting this so much, I am really interested with the results it gives, and if does not, well  it does look good also to wear but maybe for their prize it actually work, hopefully and wishingly my hubby could buy me a pair of it.

To Jig or To Pig?

2011-02-17T23:21:00.000+08:00

While watching amazing race Asia during my lunchtime, my eyes caught the episodes on that day.

I am already on the half of program so I wasn't able to watch the whole thing.

Traditional Pukpok Palayok in Philippines

I am on the Pukpok Palayok time where they have to blind fold one member having a wooden rod to hit the clay pot while the other is for direction using tambourine. After they break it they had their choice task to jig or to pig.

I am shocked at the Indian teams where the member throw the rod to hit the clay pot knowing that it is really one in a million impossible to break the clay but 90 % accurate to break someones head.Oh well first time is first time, good thing that it wasn't.

To jig is to dance correctly the traditional dance step though it is nice and cheerful to look at, but really complicated to follow. They will practice first in just a few minutes then they will perform the dance in front of judges. The two judges are so strict that a small mistake is not acceptable.

To pig is to catch an oily pigs in the mud, only one team really choose this one and this is the FilAm teams Richard's cause they know they cannot stand it to dance (not appropriate for them cause of their macho image heheheh). The Indian teams choose this also as they see traditional dance move very complicated but backing out when they see the mud and the pigs. Choosing to pig means the team should catch 2 pigs each member equivalent to 4 pigs.

So which one will you choose to jig or to pig?...me I'll choose to jig also can't stand the mud also hehehe.

Reviews from LinkReferral dot com

2011-02-15T00:03:00.003+08:00

In journey of my blogging career, so far the best traffic that I received are from this site, that's why I keep coming back from this site. I highly recommend this site for those who just starting in blogging just like me.

The site is intended to exchange traffic while making a review of all the blogs that submitted to them. I really reviewed the sites and other blogs that I visited there. I followed some of the blogs there because of their content and some also become my followers. What I like about the sites is that you have to give a review of the site that you have visited, and they will know it if you gave the same review on all the blogs which is prohibited. You will only gave 5 reviews and 30 visit to other blogs and your blogsite will be feature on their first page, the time interval to visit is every 24 hours. Being on the first page will gave you an opportunity to be visited more by other bloggers.

One reviewed from my blog is this!

"From wala to okay A basic mommy blog from nothing into something... A unique blog using the Courier font, I have never met on the website and blog. Good. You create a blog with different flavors. Full of beautiful art . "

The visitor actually noticed that I love the font of courier! And he actually copied my blog description then he wrote his review about my blog. I'm happy on what he gave reviewed about my blogs (it feels something to be proud of.), good thing that I never gave a bad reviews on other site or else I will feel guilty.

But of course if someone gave a good review there are also a bad review:

"Overall a good site. Some nice posts and graphics. I would like to see a nicer, more oraganized layout though.."

The reviewer actually gave me a rating of 8. The lowest so far! And I keep on figuring out what was wrong with my presentation, that's why I rearrange it! The reviewer was right, my old presentation layout was bad and cluttery! Thanks to him I organized now my layout and try my best to make it minimalist.

So do you think that my layout is good or bad? Let me know and I will glad to correct it!

Board Exam @ Qatar

2011-02-13T23:02:00.000+08:00

My husband Chis has finally decided to take the board exam in Qatar. After years that we graduated at Nueva Ecija University of Science and Technology in year 1997, finally he is now decided and he is hoping for it that soon he will pass it.

I actually had a doubt about it, when the time that he tells me of that exam, I initially said no. (Although I know that he is really smart academically.) I am thinking that he cannot make it because of the years gap that pass by and thinking that it is also costly makes me crazy.

But my husband's decision is final, he even convinced me to give him some problem that he will solved it right in front of the web-cam. And I am amazed that out of 10 problems only 1 mistakes he got and that is because only for the sign.

I am hoping and prayed that he really gonna pass the Board Exam, the sum of the cost of it all is almost half of his monthly salary there and we have an outstanding loan here in the Philippines that will be due in September.

But if he will pass the exam, a lot of opportunities will be open to him and will give us very large remittance making our loans disappear in no time.

Please pray for my husband to pass the board exam in Civil Engineering this coming November 2011 in Qatar! May God bless him in taking the exam!
