Exchange link anyone?

Published on May 29, 2008 in Uncategorized. 0 Comments Tags: , , .

I assumed you have noticed some bloggers who visits your sites and telling you how they like your blog and would want to exchange links with you. I have many of them in my tag board. First, they will drop a line, usually hi! Hello! How are you? (lol! They aren’t that concern, don’t believe me.)After a few days, they will come back and tell you how much they like your post, and if you want to exchange link.

Some of them write comments in my post, and I tell you, they are making my ears clap. As a result, I am going to visit their sites and tell them how I appreciate their nice comment, and I would gladly have them in my link, which I actually do. I, more often than not, add these people in my link. EVEN WITHOUT THEM ADDING ME! (I hope these people read this out loud) Well, anyway, I don’t really mind these bloggers, unless they post good contents.

Now I suppose, I need to stop ranting. Instead of adding them in my blogroll, I am going to put a HTML code in my sidebar, which I saw in 23Blogs.com – FREE Blog Roll TEXT Link Exchange.(1:10).

This code will display 10 other different blogs titles on this blog, and I will earn 10x impressions after I put the CODE on my blog. In addition to that , I will get 1:1 click exchange, meaning when my visitors click the ad box , I will credit 1 click and the system will PAY back 1 click to me.

Cool diba?

I want to get rid of her

Published on May 28, 2008 in Uncategorized. 0 Comments Tags: , , .

I’ve seen this product before; I remember from a well known cosmetic product, my sister decided to shift to Murad to get rid of her pimples. I was just laughing with the brand name because it sounds like the name of somebody I know from the past. No, not a boyfriend lol! Murat is from Turkey, so I assumed Murad is from there too.

It is so funny that I didn’t focus on the product; I was actually obtaining information about Dr. Howard Murad that time because I thought, I wouldn’t need anti-acne products. My thinking that time was, I’ll be forever with a smooth skin. It is as if I won’t get old or won’t be affected with my sleeping habits or food that I eat.

Acne and I we’re not friends before. But after a few years of staying up late every night, we became BFF. Cool! Acne can’t live without me lol! But I swear I can live without her, so I asked my sister if Murad works for her, I want to hear a firsthand experience on products before I buy.

She told me, she used the Acne Solution for four weeks only and her skin problem just fade away. She assured me also that it works with different types of skin so If I want to try that, I won’t get any problem. And she actually volunteered that she’ll pay for it if I want to buy. Owwss?? Why not, why not! Lol!

Me and my kid

Published on May 27, 2008 in Personal. 0 Comments

I said I don’t want to make meme anymore, but I have three reasons why I can’t turn down this meme. Firstly, it’s from Ate Liza, and if it’s from Ate Liza it must be good (Seiko!). Secondly, it’s about me and my daughter. I don’t post about my daughter that much, but my online friends knows how passionate I am when I blog about “my baby” who told me yesterday morning when I called her that she already has boobs (her term). I swear I can’t stop laughing. I find her so open to her femininity which I wasn’t when I was her age. In fact, I remember myself crying when my uncle used to sing me “bata pa si sabel (sabel is still a kid)” or “dalaga na si sabel (sabel is now a lady)” (which ever that is, I can’t recall any more). Well, it’s good because it shows that she’s confident with herself and she’s starting to discover womanhood, which means……I AM GETTING OLD!!! Shucks! I can’t believe I’m getting old lol!

And lastly, I thought I was pretty in this photo. :p

Can I get a house like that?

Published on May 26, 2008 in Personal. 0 Comments Tags: .

farm-house.jpg
“Can I get a house like that?” I was pointing at the house down at the Highway 89. The house is along the highway, and yet a big farm surrounded it where cows, ponies and big horses usually loiter around.

In front of the big house is a wide space, some trees are standing and there are areas where you can plant different flowers or veggies if you like.

“That is expensive.” My aunt said.

“Oh well, I don’t need the farm. But I really like the house…and the yard.”

Take a look at this place.

We used to live there. I was born and grew up in this place, besides this narrow street is a place called Paraiso, but I don’t think you would want to call it Paraiso or Paradise in English. I spent my entire life here until I decided to work abroad, and it was just recently that my parents made up their mind and move to another place. And yet, we still call it home.

My father loves to plant some vegetables in a big pot and placed it in the neighbor’s roof, adjacent to our terrace. It’s a good thing that the neighbor is a relative so we are allowed to do that. He loves to pets different animals too. Pets like big birds which food is fish liver, I remember he had rabbit too, dogs and hogs.

I guess my father will be going to like the house I always see when I pass the highway.

Unusual friday night and my mutterings

Published on May 25, 2008 in Journal and Personal. 10 Comments

My friend and I were actually planning things to break off our boredom during weekends or is it me that is so insistent (?) because she can kill time by watching old Filipino movies that my aunt’s borrowed from her relatives. And I am not.

She said she usually went out with friends, whenever she feels liked it back in the Philippines and so did I. One time we really want to go out and rush to a bar or a dance as they called it, but my uncle who was supposed to drive us, had to change his mind. We both need a time off and be merry even for a night, but that’s the glitch of being new to one country and positioned to a town that has no buses, cab to another town is so expensive. The people who we assume can go with us and have a free drive prefer to sit in front of playing cards instead of joining us. In the end, my friend will go to play with them, and I am left out in front of my computer…my ever loving laptop that have no choice but to embrace me every time a situation has to isolate me.

This weekend, she has decided not to stay with me in my uncle’s place due to financial constraint and the idea maybe add up to her boredom or, to say it all, lonesomeness, that she asked me to have a coffee with her when my employer dropped me off.

There is this cafe in downtown Alliston features arts and gourmet eats and treats and live entertainment. We don’t need to ask somebody to drive us both as it is just a walking distance away.

 

We always see what’s happening in the cafe every Thursday where they are having an “Open mic” in our weekly paper, and this is the nearest “refuge” for the “dead-beat” soul like the two of us, and so off we went to there.

The cakes were pretty good, the coffee was splendid (any kind of coffee is very good for me), the staff were so friendly that you would like to hang-out there every day and to top it all, there was this lady who plays wonderful jazz music with her guitar. I find her impressive especially when she performs The Rolling Stones Goodbye Ruby Tuesday which we thought was Rod Stewart’s Stairway to Heaven when we heard the intro of her guitar.

It was the first time that I heard that song actually, and I thought it was a very nice song. Too bad we need to leave the lady still performing for I don’t want to walk on home on the dark street.

So I guess I had an interesting weekend…..that is sweet!

Before I forget, I still have to mutters…..
