That's what I am! I have been neglecting to greet my friends on their birthdays because of the many things in my hands right now. This is very unusual of me. And maybe they are also surprised or (probably annoyed) as to why I have been missing out on sending them greeting cards. I usually do it by the bulk monthly, but now, it is just so hard to cope. What more when I have 2 kids! Oh no! I guess shopping for gifts online will suffice the missed-out birthday cards.

Usually I turn to ShopWiki for complete list of gifts for my girlfriends. Also, I like the page:
ShopWiki gift guides because it gives me a complete information and tips on how to find the best gift deals in town. I guess I have to allot 1 whole day (or at least when my toddler is asleep) and shop for some affordable and easy to mail gifts. I hope they forgive me after all, it's better late than never.

To end this week, here's my 3rd if you think... entry. I never felt inadequate of friends, I have always been blessed with loyal and beautiful friends. Although 2 of them have betrayed me and I don't know why up to now what I did to them for me to deserve what they did. I have learned to move on and forget about them, also forgave them for what they did. After all these years, more true friends came to my life.

However, for the past days, I am quite bothered with a friend. Everything in her life seems to be in shambles. Her once very sexy body looks like a body of a 40 year-old with 6 kids and she hasn't given birth yet. She is evern contemplating on taking Phentermine for desperate measures. Also, her finances are falling down and worst she doesn't have a job. For once, I don't have answers to a very confused friend, I always have the right words for a friend confiding in me, but this particular friend, her life must be too complicated that I cannot comprehend. Thus, I am not helping her. I guess for now, all I must do is pray for her and continue listening to her woes and rants. God Bless Her.

(my entry is so blah, I am extremely bothered with her current state.)

I (with hubby!) just solved 6 problems of management science model and it's 4:30am!!! We did it for 5 frikkin hours! I am wondering if I'll wait for the sun to shine or hit the sack. I am so energized now, but I know I'll turn up to be really cranky later which is not a good thing for my son. Anyways, to divert my mood so I could be a little less energized, here's answering randomness...feed your mind and your blog 1st ever meme when they started the blog in July 2005 and it's about Summer Love!

I am a frequent visitor of gossip and celebrity blogs. I am amused by them. They sure help keep me out of my homesick moments because they keep me entertained. However, one of the gossip sites that I frequent is off the air now. Although, I anticipated this because they were really hitting it below the belt while keeping their anonymity. Apparently, one of the celebrities they singled out on is currently threatening them with something really scary and thus, the expert on gossips calls her the bully. Uh-oh, I smell intrigues and war! For now, aabangan ko na lang ang susunod na kabanata!

Very nice and quick fillers I might say hee!

If you watched transformers, you know what that symbol is for. The decepticons.

A close blogging buddy has just informed me this morning that the big G decepticon has hit on her PR3 blog as well. She followed every rule to veer away from being zero but still...

So I guess it's a hit or miss thing, bilog ang mundo, trip trip lang nya! But why hit on the small time? Are you too afraid to hit the bigger ones?

Just enjoy it while it last and if you still believe there is a way, follow these rules: The most comprehensive entry I read on how to protect your sites from the decepticon!

I have come to love blogging and one of the highlights was when I joined SocialSpark. I was really hesitant to join another social networking as I've got other networking sites which I neglect or seldom checks. But after so much probing from my blogging buddies, I gave in and join. Eversince, I signed up with them, I have no regrets at all. The site did not only let me meet wonderful people in the blogosphere but also help me monetize my blogs, build community and drive traffic. As a blogger, we have been constantly tracking our site meters, traffic and even page ranks or real ranks for that matter. I still am finding the perfect profile theme for my site and some tweaking and I'm all set to meet more friends. I've had a few number of friends request on the 1st week and this is my very 1st friend: Sawickis!, I like her profile too and we are both married and proud parents. I have also grabbed a good number of opportunities for this blog and my detour blog. So far, it's really a great thing that I have signed up with them. If you haven't checked them out yet, do it now and join us at SocialSpark. You'll not regret, I assure you. And don't forget the best part of joining is driving traffic to your site while earning some decent money for your shopping desires. Happy Thursday everyone!

I have come to love blogging all 4 years of my life. I never regretted sharing my life, opinions and views to the whole worldwideweb. It's nice to be heard by someone you know and don't know. Someone might not agree with your sentiments but sharing ideas all together is fun and such a learning experience for me. Then when I decided to be a fulltime stay-at-home-mom, I learned that I could make money out of blogging or even bigger income out of blogging. So I did, and learn word of mouth ethics from my blogging buddies and eventually learn the ins and outs of blogging in style while earning. Then, I joined payperpost. I am loving it so far because I can choose the opportunities which I would take and talk about, unlike other sites which gives me assignments that I could never refuse to accomplish because they're supposed to be assigned tasks. Refusing to do so would mean suspension of your account, but with PPP I can choose everything and anything from their wide list of available tasks. I still clearly remember the 1st time I got paid from all my blogging tasks, I shopped for my shoes and then bought take-out goodies for my family. It was so overwhelming. Who would have taught that staying at home will bring in money in my wallets and lest, earning while doing something I love!

I swear I love to meet people on the net and more than half of them became my friends. My mom find it weird and also strange at the same time. My brothers are warning me to be really careful but honestly, social network people are almost the same as those I meet people personally. I remembered a friend writing about something that she heard on a blog forum/seminar that if almost everyone are social networking, is anybody still have a real personal social life?

As I was bloghopping, I chanced upon this blog with website: hiloa.com. It talks about how it is to meet people on the blogosphere or social networking. It also talks about some important points on how mobile phones have evolved in our lives and how it became the most ubiquitous device. Actually both the net and the mobile phones have become natural vehicles in meeting people. I am so extremely amazed by how technology somehow took over our lives.
