Can you toss me your unwanted children’s books please?

An Open Letter, Featured, books, pinoy diaspora

I don’t know if there are surfers or bloggers near around Innisfil and Alliston City that stumble here, but if there’s any, I hope they will see this post. One or two people who will read this plead and will decide to chuck some old and unwanted children’s books in front of my uncle or my employer’s doorstep is huge enough for me and the kids who will benefit this little good deed

My nanay (mother) and I had both agreed that I am not going to send Balikbayan Boxes - full of canned goods, clothes and some necessities the Filipinos assumed relatives left in the Philippines needs and would love to have. We both know that they can buy all those stuff back home with lesser price, so I better send money than goods, I am okay with that.

Breast Cancer Awareness and my mutterings

Featured, Meme

It’s hard to refuse a tag if it comes to Ms. Leah, although I don’t do some of her tags, and I don’t want to justify my shortcomings, this one is a tag in support for all my fellow women who’s suffering from this perilous disease.

Ms. Leah shared this to me.

Help spread the awareness on the Breast Cancer Awareness month of June. Please help convey the importance of regular examination and early detection of breast cancer in order to catch this disease when it first erupts, maximizing the chance of survival and recovery.

These are the some information/symptoms that I’ve got upon searching the net regarding Breast Cancer.

* A change in how the breast or nipple feels
* A lump or thickening in or near the breast or in the underarm area
* Nipple tenderness
* A change in how the breast or nipple looks
* A change in the size or shape of the breast
* A nipple turned inward into the breast
* The skin of the breast, areola, or nipple may be scaly, red, or swollen. It may have ridges or pitting so that it looks like the skin of an orange.
* Nipple discharge (fluid)
* Early breast cancer usually does not cause pain. Still, a woman should see her health care provider about breast pain or any other symptom that does not go away. Most often, these symptoms are not due to cancer. Other health problems may also cause them. Any woman with these symptoms should tell her doctor so that problems can be diagnosed and treated as early as possible.

Help spread awareness. You can help the lives of many women by spreading the word about The Breast Cancer Site. If The Breast Cancer Site receives 8 million clicks on the pink button in June, their premier sponsor -Bare Necessities- will donate $10,000 for more free mammograms. CLICK the pink button today!


Here I am tagging Jena Isle, Ate Liza (my tatay’s wife hehehe!), tin-tin, She also known as Sasha (I am used to call her in her real nickname) and Karen (although I love her malaya’s nick)

My Saturday/Sunday is incomplete without this play so please bear with me and my mutterings.

  1. Rambling ::      blethering
  2. Magnetic ::       board
  3. Again! ::           what?
  4. Acoustic ::       guitar
  5. Mahogany ::    my mother’s hair color when she dye her hair
  6. Promises ::      are made to be broken
  7. Ill fitting ::      inappropriate
  8. Sublime ::       inspiring
  9. Poop ::            bush <–I have to bring Rocky (the dog) there
  10. Disoriented ::  confused

If you want to see how other play with their words, please come to join us here.  And to all mutterers and visitors who will pass by this blog, if you could please do the Breast Cancer Awareness tag that will make us get the $10,000 for free mammogram.  Thank You!

The party contest is over and I won a prize.

Blogging, Featured, books

So happy days are not over yet, I supposed it was. After posting a thank you message to all entrecarders who always drop in my ads and of course my new Google page rank, here is another awesome surprise from The Hochstadt.com Party Contest!

I have posted here a few days ago that a friend invited me to join the party, honestly, I was not that interested to join. I saw the contest many times from different blogs I visited, but it was just another blog contest for me and I am not really a fan of blog contests. Except if the contest host is my friend, I have joined one, and I did not know what happened after I commented to the contest post, that I am joining. The other one was, I just voted for my favorite logo, luckily I get 25 by simply voting.

This was the first time that I joined an ultra extravagant blog contest, and it was like, there was really a big party going on with many much awaited prizes. Thank you Guardian (I was considering of calling you Angel instead, but I guess you like being called Guardian) for the invite, if not for you, I will not be going to get this.

Marcus Hoschtad said I can get my prize through this:

Contestants, go ahead and actively approach your sponsor to claim your prize. Giving him/her this post’s URL makes their life a lot easier. Most can be contacted via the Entrecard community, a contact form on their blog, or by posting a comment in the most recent post on their blog. Your sponsor will then give you further instructions on how to claim your prize(s). Thanks for your help!

Now who is Robert G. Allan? I viewed the contest post to see Robert G. Allan and his link but I cannot find the name so I google his complete name but it is Robert G. Allen that I saw and he really have his own book, and his book is about money-making strategy, that’s cool. So who is who? Are they the same person? I have no idea. Maybe I’ll get my 10 cards account at SendOutCards.com for the meantime.

Now who’s going to make my One Buck Wiki page for Sitehoppin.com? Anyone please?

Thank You Entrecarders

Blogging, Featured

I am so happy today. No, I am so excited. It is my first time to reach 300 drops in Entrecards, but that wasn’t made me feel so cheery at this moment. Although I am wondering what will happen if I made 300 drops, so far I can’t see any difference.

I guess I am just so fiery to drop more because this blog is doing well this week and not to mention that I can’t think of anything to do this Saturday but to get busy prowling – yes just prowling in front of my computer. So why not drop while prowling?

Like some blogs that I visited, they are all so liven up with their new Google page rank and so do I. I’ve got PR 4 without a sweat; I’m not even linked to any blogs that has higher page rank. I believe I owe it to Entrecard since most of my traffic comes from them.

Party People Come Join The Hochstadt.com Party Contest!

Featured

I miss parties, not the party that my uncle and his wife throwing, whenever they feel like it. Theirs is parties with foods, beers and tong-it’s (a Filipino well-known card game). They will stop eating and drinking beers and coffee or tea will take place but the card games will stay until morning.

Sometimes I lock myself in my room, of course with beer in my hand and touch my keyboard until it gives me the assurance that life is not boring after all, even me not “partying” with them. I don’t like card games. I don’t like their kind of parties.

I miss the bar hopping actually. I don’t do that much when I was in Singapore but there’s always a date for me and my sister together with some female friends. I love to dance and drown myself with the noisy music (I miss the noise actually - I grew up with noise) and it’s been a while since my last step in the bar that we frequented.

Two days ago a new friend blogger have invited me to join the biggest party ever in blogosphere. I didn’t ask him if there’s live band, since I have no time to reply. When I checked the host site, I forgot about the live band. What bring me in are many prizes that I can win if I join. Yes this is some kind of party contest.

Let’s see what The Hockstadt.com Party Contest will give me if I win.

Pizza.com was sold $2.6M in the auction

Featured

I have heard a radio DJ reporting a snow was selling on eBay some two years ago. and it sounds ridiculous to me, who’s going to buy a snow anyway? I guess the DJ was just kidding but when I had a conversation with a friend who’s into selling her products on eBay one day about a woman who’s selling the playing cards which is of no value her son had stolen and was actually sold because of the dramas that the woman has posted, I think selling snow is not far from selling the playing cards that has no value at all.

I don’t know if the snow was sold but the woman had a week supper from eBay buyer.

Now here comes a story about the domain that cost $20 in 1994, Clark the owner of Pizza.com (Everything about pizzapizza_slice_3.png - from coupon to Internet pizza service to pizza games to pizza videos and all you can think about pizza) put his domain name to auction and gained $2.6 M after the auction closed.

Well of course auctioning a domain name is different from the peculiar selling of snow or stolen playing cards especially when the site contains everything that sells but coming from Chris mouth, he said “it’s crazy, it’s just crazy”, it’s like, he himself couldn’t believe it.

Now I am thinking which domains may be worth an attractive fifty pence piece in the future. Any suggestion?

Shine, Yahoo’s New Website Intended For Women

Featured

shine

Yesterday, March 31 Yahoo launched a new site that aims for women, it is the first time that Yahoo is targeting an audience, and it benefits us girls because it’s all about US.

From the look of the site, I can figure that all women yahoo users will love it. It’s more than just a My Yahoo website. I remember I activate My Yahoo account sometime ago; I didn’t use that frequently although I organized it for my own viewing.

If you have your own yahoo mail account, you can access your inbox directly from the site. Make it your homepage and you’re going to have a web magazine about women’s in just a few seconds (that is if you have a fast internet access). They will tackle everything from fashion and beauty to healthy living, entertainment, parenting, love and sex to work and money, food and home. Now this will be a wonderful online experience for us girls.

The site is called SHINE (means to stand out) will bring out original blogs and content from their primary partners like Conde Nast, Hearst, and Time.

Technorati’s Favorite Exchange - And Get Some Good Readings

Featured

Whether getting a lot of bloggers who add you to their technorati’s fave will make your rank to get to Technorati’s Top 100 or not, I find Supercharge your fan base (Technorati’s favorite) so amusing to carry out.

I was invited by Jay, a fellow Entrecard user to participate on his project TECHNORATI’S FAVORITE EXCHANGE which is aiming to get placement in technorati’s top 100 lists. I don’t
