Manilenya

13 readers ngayong araw na to (na dati`y umaabot ng 64 to 200 -salamat sa entrecard- readers), napakamot ako sa baba ko. Pagkatapos akong maexcite sa testimonyal sa kin ni Rino Facebook biglang nangatog ang tuhod ko at nag isip na malamang sa hindi ang blog na ito e unti-unting mamamatay.

Hehehe, syempre charing ko lang yun. Eksaherasyon.  Pero kapag hindi ako tumino tino, kapag sa tingin ko e masyado na kong nahuhumaling sa pagtatanim at pangangarap na magkaroon ng isang mansyon sa Farm Town, malamang sa hindi, tigok ang blog na to.  Uso pa man din ang tigukan.

Hindeeeeeeeeeeee!!  Ayokooooooooooooooo!!

Mahal kong KOSA,

Maayos ang daloy ng kuneksyon ngayon, hmn medyo.  Noong una ang tagal bago ko maakses ang mismong sayt ng manilenya. Una, isinisisi ko ito sa kuneksyon ng kapitbahay, sabi ko bakit masyado silang madamot.  Pangalawa, halos pagmumurahin ko yung hosting ko pero bumabalik sa kin yung mga mura.  Ano ang magagawa ko, masyadong maliit ang badyet ko para sa websayt na to.

Ito na yung ipinangako kong lab letter ko para sayo, swerte mo, sa totoo lang hindi ako mahilig gumawa ng lab letter.  Una’t huling ginawan ko ng lab letter e yung tropa na dayo sa eskinita sa amin sa tundo.  Araw-araw na ginawa ng diyos, nandoon sila, mga grupo ng mga kabataang kalalakihan, nililigawan yung mga tropa kong kababaihan.

Napraning ako kasi, tatlo sila, ni isa man walang nakaisip na pasaringan ako kahit man lang “labas tayo, nood tayo ng sine” o kaya nama’y “gusto mong magjollibee?”

Ginawa ko, bumili ako ng may amoy strawberry na stationary sa kanto, tapos pinitik ko yung bolpeng may tintang mabango ng kapatid ko saka ako nagsulat ng ng lab letter, gamit ang wikang ingles.

Ang sabi ko, nag-aaral ako sa isang private school na malapit sa simbahan, noong mga panahon na iyon, sikat ka kapag sa private school ka nag-aaaral kesehodang boba ka pa.  Sabi ko pa, matagal ko na siyang nakikita sa eskinita sa tuwing dumadaan ako, at noong una pa ma’y laglag na ang panty ko sa kanya.  Ooopppsss! panga pala.  Gusto ko siyang makilala, makakwentuhan minsan isang araw, pero sa ngayon hindi pa ko handang magpakilala sa kanya, dagdag ko pa.  Balang araw magkakaroon kami ng time para magkakilalanlan,  susulat ako ulit.  yngatcapalague.

Aliw na aliw ako sa dalawang rason.  Aliw na aliw ako kasi, pakiramdam ko ang galing galing ko dahil nakagawa ako ng lab letter sa wikang Ingles at aliw na aliw ako kasi hangang-hanga yung lalaki sa lab letter na tinanggap niya habang kinukwento niya sa harapan ko yung nakasulat sa stationary, maya-maya inabot niya sa tropa ko yung lab letter tapos pinagpasa-pasahan namin siya.  Hindi yung lalaki, kundi yung lab letter.

Tatagal ka pa ba KOSA?

Alam mo bang naaliw din ako sa iyo, sukat ba namang tawagin mo kong idol;

Aw! shucks! Maraming salamat po! Pwede ko sanang pamagatang Sa Wakas ang post na ito pero sa hindi ko na mabilang na pagkakataon ilang beses ko na ring sinubukang gamiting titulo iyon sa napakaraming post na nagawa ko. Mga panahong hirap na hirap akong iaccess ang blog ko o kahit itong paggawa lang ng post dahil sa mahinang koneksyon ng internet. Pero isa lang ang pwedeng maging Sa Wakas na titulo, ayaw ko ng may mga sequel na kwento, nagawa ko na yun.

Pupugak pugak ang kuneksyon ko, mamatay-sindi  yung mga berdeng bar sa connect to network ko, parang nadedejavu ako sa panahong pilit kong inaagawan ng kuneksyon ang mga kapitbahay namin sa Merville Park sa Singapore, noong mga panahon na yun, konting katok sa pintuan e takot akong tignan at buksan.  Iniisip ko mga pulis na pinagsumbungan ng mga kapitbahay dahil sa nakaw na internet connection ko.

Ngayon, please lang, pwede bang huwag mo ng itanong kung saan galing ang wi-fi connection ko dahil ang isasagot ko ay isang malaking GUSTO KO NG BUMALIK SA TRABAHO PARA MAY INTERNET AKO!!!!

Yan ang buhay ko bilang domestic helper sa Singapore sa loob ng dalawa’t kalahating taon……ang mag blag gamit ang internet ng kapitbahay (teka tawa ako….bwahahahahaha!)

Hindi ako palalabas tuwing linggo kasama ng iba pang mga domestsic helper, medyo sosyal ako kasi nagbabar ako at bihirang magpunta sa Lucky Plaza (teka tawa ulit ako….bwahahahahaha! hehehehe para kong luka luka sensya na.)

Anyhoo (see sosyal talaga ako), Ganyan pa rin ang buhay ko dito sa Canada, magtrabaho maghapon at mag internet magdamag.

Ang pagkaka-alam ko sa malalim na tagalog na ito ay inidoro o di kaya nama’y palikuran, kahit ano sa dalawa, isa lang ang ibig sabihin nyan.  Washroom, comfort room o minsan ginagawang bath room.

Naisip ko yung kasilyas namin noong bata pa ako, unang sariling bahay na natandaan kong tinawag kong amin.  Mula sa pagrerenta buwan-buwan ay naging amin dahil sa reblocking noon ni Marcos sa Tundo.

Wala itong inidoro kaya may lagi kaming handang dyaryo at plastik  bag na paglalagyan ng binalot na, alam mo na tapos sabay bato sa ilog.

Noon din, kapag umuuwi kami ng Abra, probinsyang kinalakihan ni nanay, mayroong palikuran ang tyuhin ko na hiwalay sa bahay.  Nasa likod bahay ito.  Napapalibutan ng sawali at may pinto na pwede mong isara kapag gagamitin mo.  Ang maganda nito, mayroon siyang inidoro na nakatanim sa lupa, aktwali yung inidoro e hinukay na lupa lang tapos nilagyan ng mga kahoy ang palibot ng butas kaya kahit papano okey na rin.

Katabi lang ito ng kalsadang pataas sa bundok, ang problema walang bubong ang kasilyas kaya kapag may dumadaan at may ginagawa kang milagro sa kasilyas, hindi lang amoy na amoy ang milagro mo kundi kitang kita pa pati ang pag iri mo.  Sagwa!

Ang tanong, bakit ko naisip iblag ang kasilyas?

Una, natawa ako sa isang apps sa facebook, may nagka interes sa aking sang rekwang larawan sa isang dating apps (hehehe opo, hindi ko alam kung ano ginagawa ko sa apps na yun pero meron nga ako nun - walang pakealamanan)  na Casillas, bigla ko tuloy naalala ang aming pinakamamahal na madilim na kasilyas sa tundo.

Pangalawa, kung ang kasilyas ay tinatawag ding inidoro na ang kolokyal na katawagan ay trono (ano nga ba ulit ang ibig sabihin ng kolokyal?), gusto kong ibalita na ang manilenya.com po ay nakasukbit ng pang anim na inidoro este trono sa Top 10 Pinoy Expat/OFW Blog Award 2008.

Maraming salamat po sa mga bumoto, magandang regalo ito sa ikatlong anibersaryo ng manilenya.com noong nakaraang Disyembre 23.

I was talking to my daughter in YM last night and I can’t stop myself from my mirth.

Imagine that you have a 5 year old daughter sitting in front of you while you are doing your stuff in the computer. She nonchalantly pressing some letters on your keyboard and you definitely feeling messed up with whatever that stuff that you’re doing online.

Well, I was just chatting and maybe my then 5 year old daughter already felt that I was totally not paying attention to her. Given the smile that affixed to my face and a chuckle from time to time, she was certainly bored, but I was celebrating the joy of impenetrable conversation with other people online.

She had to retaliated. You know how the kids that age and below will wreck your amazing day. So I left her in front of the computer, I put the browser to Disney channel so that she will enjoy all the pictures and the shows that she usually loves to watch on TV.

I left the room and climb downstairs, I needed to block the annoying feeling that surfaced after she bothered me. I hadn’t left a minute yet when I heard her loud cry and when I returned, she was lamenting how the browser went so fast while she clicked some words with highlights. Of course, it opens to a new window. She was completely lost online.

Now she’s 11 and maybe spending time as much as I spend time online too. She started playing online games at the age of 7, torturing those other players when she has to linger in market places (I’m sure those playing online computer games know this) and bugged all players to add them to their team, later she already selling ammunition to all players, smart huh!

She taught me this online game where you will compete dancing with other players online (I forgot the game’s name but I became addicted to it when I visit home).

I asked her last night if what she was doing and I was surprised with her reply, “I am making my classmates profile. They said my profile page is so lovely and they want to have that lovely pages too. They paid me 10 every page.”For a mom who’s into blogging, of course I was speechless when I learned what she’s doing online. This is my life after work, and I do it for my friends for free while my daughter is earning a bit by doing that.

“You should learn the html codes”, I said.

“Html codes? I know that,” she pasted the html codes for a page with backgrounds, title and its font, the colors and more which was not done yet.

“But I want to make my own background, I already have the image here.”

“Oh you have to upload that in photo management and photo sharing application,send me the image and I will upload it in my flicker so that you’ll have your image link for your background.”

What will I do? She’s doing a good job and all I need to do is to help.

Next day’s won’t be happening, sorry guys but my battery is dying, and I left my notebook’s AC adapter at work. 15% remaining and I’m dead.

But that’s okay. I have all the time to start my cross stitching and of course, I’ll get back to reading my Love in the Time of Cholera book.

See you on Monday Night!

Three years of blogging had taught me to believe in myself (a little) and to know the things I am capable of doing. For an easy going and was been tagged as “irresponsible” happy go lucky parasite( I just made up this, please mother don’t get mad at me), blogging turned out to be my crowning glory.

I was nothing but a freeloader when my parents and my sister resolute to bring me to Singapore to look after my niece. There, I end up using my free time browsing the net – I was not allowed to chat anymore for they spent hundreds of bucks during my one month stay some years ago. There was no DSL and cable internet that time.

I didn’t chat this time but I discovered a whole lot of new things that I thought were far different from wasting time bitching with other bitched online. Sad to say…the latter part of my chat life wasn’t good. People are fighting over – I hate to say this- money, power and boys.

I have no money, powerless and boys were not born to get close to me, so I better stay away with these people or else, they will eat me alive.

I said that I have to move my butt from laziness. I feel so sluggish making a post after three consecutive sponsored posts; it is so unlikely of me if you’re going to ask some friends/readers about this whole blog monetizing changes in my site. A blogger who once thought that making my blog a business will corrupt my mind (pardon my little brain exposing my then thought.) Even so, I have to accept now that I enjoy it, when I see my PayPal account accumulate some bucks from advertisers.

I enjoy everything about it, except of course if I know nothing about the given task, it screwed up my mind, it seems like playing a 2500 piece of puzzle, It’s challenging though. I have to read the product or the sites first before I do the task and finding myself typing a blah blah blah in the end. Still, I have to be thankful because the advertisers accept the posts.

My next? That’s a big problem, what do I know about a hen party? But still I have to do that assignment, especially now that I intended to buy Nikon D60. I said, I want to get the camera by hook or by crook (insert a cynical smiley face here), and I don’t have anything in mind where to get the money to buy my next baby but doing some product or site review and maybe affiliation soon.

I’m doomed to pursue a business until I get my US$700. Wow! I just set a goal now, I can’t believe it.

Now I want to show you this photo I took yesterday afternoon, after playing in the trampoline, yes I played with them, and I did nothing but to scream while the big girl, Miranda, doing her usual gymnastic stunt in the trampoline. It just makes me believe that I am getting older and older; I can’t do the jump as higher as the kids do anymore and my knees are now complaining (Jesus! I want to cry.)

They asked me to change into a bathing suit after the trampoline fun and go straight to the pond, but I declined. I told them I’ll just watch them because I didn’t bring any bathing suit, I’m too shy to wear one, maybe some other time.

I could be better if I’ll post as  the photographer of a real action gymnast stunt by this pretty and surprising Miranda in the dock. She’s good, I wonder why she stopped attending her gymnastic class. What’s funny here is she did a lot of stunts in the dock but scared to touch the turtle with her feet while swimming in the pond.

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?
