Europe's Finest Blog Advertising Media

Being the Philippines, your opportunity to make online income is somehow limited in each company. So if you want to make money with your blog, you must look for several ways to earn. Lately, I have found another online blogging opportunity that aims to become Europe's Finest Advertisers through Bloggers. This company is known as bloggerwave. They provide opportunity got worldwide bloggers to make money online.

Bloggerwave is one of the companies I am very excited to work with; not only me, but mostly my blogger friends are actually already in.

Sticky Stuff

While I was watching CSI - the man was checking out a dead body. I remembered my high school days. It was during my Sophomore Years that we experimented a dead frog. The look of the dead frog seemed OK to me but imagining how it would felt like when your fingers are against to their sticky dead bodies make me downright drowsy! But, I was just so happy when my Biology Classmate didn’t forget to bring the exam gloves. They we’re durable and you can’t feel anything sticking. So, my Biology project of dissecting the frog went smooth for me.

Potty Training

Do you have problems potty training your child? Well, when my big girl was around a year old, I did. We have a great difficulty in teaching her how to use the bathroom or even her pink potty and so as with my baby boy. They had problems of remembering that they were no longer using diapers anymore and that they need to use a potty.

It is good news though if you are having problems potty training your child because I found a website that teaches parents how to toilet train a toddler and how to handle common resistance. They teach a guaranteed method of doing such training. They also offer unlimited support to get the training done smoothly.

How I wish I have found them when I was having problems with my children back then. It could have save me a lot of effort and frustrations. Visit them at PottyTrainingBasics.com.

Page Rank Joke

As much as I wanted to have a Page Rank, I was really shocked to see a tiny green in the Google Toolbar that says my blog is now PR 1. Just like my other blogger friends, they checked and re-checked maybe Google is again playing around.

Guess what! In other windows, my blog is PR 0! That means either my eyes are faulty or Google is just toying with my eyes? But I am sure that I don't have a faulty eyes, check out the screen shot I took to prove that I saw a PR 1 at my blog.

Please click on the picture to enlarge.

So, is Google playing with me? I don't know. The only thing I can be sure right now is that I still don't have a Page Rank and I hope I can get one soon.

Being Beautiful and Healthy

Being beautiful and healthy for me is not being vain. Sometimes people don't want to take time to beautify themselves because they thought seeking beauty for themselves is vanity (seven deadly sins from the Bible). But for me being beautiful and healthy is a responsibility not only for ourselves but also for the people we love.

In this very intoxicated world, we need to find serenity in detoxifying ourselves from the negativities our body had accumulated from a very hard environment. One way of detoxifying is by going to spas. This kind of places helps in relieving the body from stress. They have different methods that are applied.

I found an article that has a San Diego spa reviews at DiscoverSD.com. In this website, you get to see articles that can help you be educated in this field of detoxifying in s very fashionable way. The San Diego spa reviews has mentioned an experienced just like the legendary Cleopatra had her bathing rituals.

Imagine, you are just concern with the detoxifying process but they let you experience how it would feel to take take a bath like an Egyptian Queen did.

Mommy or Daddy?

Who do you think your baby looks like? I really had fun doing this. Try it! It's really fun.


Big Girl



Baby Boy

I guess it's fair for both of us after all! LOL....

Are you GREEN minded?

Well, I am - even my text is green. I am a green-minded person because I love anything that is related into saving Mother Nature! I am so green just like a lush forest would look if the trees are all there and fully grown.

In my usual surfing, I have found a website that is just as green-minded as me and I really do appreciate them. Even its domain name is very green. It's called GreenandMore.com. As I read the pages of this site, I was so amazed on all the green products that they have to offer. They are selling all kinds of eco friendly products. Aside from that, what makes me appreciate this website more is that they contribute to environmental charities like Oceana and Healthy Child Healthy World and they live to their website’s mission to pursue green practices such as using recycled office supplies and kitchen materials, no using of plasticwares and the like.

GreenandMore.com’s shopping department offers a wide array of green products from energy saving appliances, eco garden and outdoor living materials, eco furniture and lighting, solar power products, energy saving appliances, home décor, accessories and even baby beddings made from organic materials!

In this website, you will also access top notch information from reliable sources like US Department of Energy and the EPA at their learning center. Not to mention, they also have a green blog called “GreenMusings” where green stories and photos are being shared by employees to the public.

If you are green-minded like me, I recommend that you visit GreenandMore.com to check on all green stuff they have (especially the baby beddings made of organic marterial)!

Thank God, Big Girl is OK!

I want to say thank you to all my blogger friends who stopped by and asked about how my big girl is doing. Thank you very much for your concern. My big girl is now OK. She went to school today and now she is already playing with her brother.

My husband and I just thought she had a very strenuous playing at school yesterday that might caused her knee pains. She has this episode every time she gets involved with physically straining activities. You know children, they don't stop until they drop when they are playing with their classmates.

I am glad she is OK now but I am still observing her moves and the next few days. I have read a lot about juvenile rheumatism. Children can get affected by rheumatism also but sometimes it's not well-noticed just like us adults. Juvenile rheumatism takes a lot of test in a span of several months just to get the results if positive or not. I hope she doesn't have one.

I don't want to see my big girl into pain again. As much as I am around, I want to take good care of her and her baby brother. They are the greatest gift God has given to me!

Opportunity to Make Money Online

It's been awhile that I have been blogging. As we all know, I started to blog because of a depression situation and then later on because of fun and friendship. Now, aside I am very addicted to it because of the friends I have met. I have found way to make money with it as well. Of course, through the help of my blogging friends. Recently, they have introduced to me the company named Blogvertise. They told me that this company pays you for blogging.

So, I went to their site and found out that they really are in the business of paying their bloggers and giving satisfying results to their advertiser. Not only does it says "we pay you to blog" but they are an actual company that has proven itself to a lot of bloggers in the world. Blogvertise is a legal company and has helped a lot of people already especially mommies like me who have traded the corporate world just to stay at home with the kids.

Blogvertise has proven itself also to my friends. Many of my blogger friends, asked me to check this company out. One of them mentioned that the staff of this company are very friendly as she has encountered most of them. So for me, I am pretty hopeful to be a part of this company soon enough. I would be happy to take a slice of their cake.

Love Affair with Firefox 2.0

Some of my readers using Internet Explorer might not appreciate the looks of my blog. Well, I am not saying that my blog is darn so beautiful but what I am saying is my blog is best viewed in Firefox 2.0. Every time I edit my blog, I use Firefox 2.0. When I am satisfied on how it looks, well thats it. Though sometimes, I look at it using I.E.

I am much comfortable using Firefox and I feel safer and secured when I do transaction online. Aside from that, I can personalized it according to my tastes and preferences using thousands of add-ons.

But the best part is, it's totally and absolutely free when you want to download it. So, if you want to see how my blog look using Firefox 2.0, click on the button found at the upper right side of the screen to download it for free. Guess what?! It has a Google Toolbar with it!

By the way, you may asked why it's a love affair? I came to the point of actually searched the WWW for a way wherein I can spread the love of using Firefox by becoming an affiliate. I joined the "Spread Firefox Community"! If you like Firefox too and what to spread the love, please click the button below to become a member of "Spread Firefox Community."

Thrill of Las Vegas

I am really fond of watching action movies. I am more manly when it comes to movie taste. But one thing I like about watching action movies is the place where they take their shoot. It makes me imagine how it would be like to be there and experience the place physically.

Oceans Eleven (and the other succeeding movies) was taken in Las Vegas. I don't like gambling though but I really love the lights and the showgirls dancing - thats one of the reason why I wanted to go there. So, I wondered, how much does it cost to be in Las Vegas. Again, I took a surfing trip to my dream vacation budget. I wondered if there are affordable hotels in Las Vegas. Well, to my amazement, I found a list of hotels - not just hotels but even some cheap hotel Las Vegas. Sometimes, knowing the price will give you more perspective in planning your dream vacation. All I need to do now, is prioritize the place for my dream vacation!

Movers when Moving

This coming April 2008, me and the kids are finally going home to our dearly beloved hometown of Cagayan de Oro City. We are not just going home to have a vacation but we will be moving-up everything there. We might settle there for a year or so until the plant where my husband works will finally produce steam (geothermal power plant). Even though, it's a month plus away, the thought of it is tiring already. Moving everything you have bought for 2 years (believing your staying for good) is a little bit overwhelming.

Anyway, I wish we had movers here in Bacolod to Cagayan de Oro. I think it would be easier. Like my aunt and my uncle who lives in the Big Apple, they didn't have any problem moving from one place to another. They enlisted the help of some New York movers. They didn't have any problems at all. The service provider was fast, reliable and very responsible. My aunt and uncle was really stressed-free when the moved!

I can only wish for now...but better yet - I should start packing. Maybe that would lessen the stress when the final day will arrive.

My Big Girl Crying

I was again doing my usual blogging session around 12mn when I heard somebody was crying. I looked at my baby boy to see if he was the one crying, but he was sound asleep. So, I opened the light and I saw my big girl crying. I asked her why was she crying, she told me that her knees were in pain. I rubbed her knees with a herbal liniment and made some few massages. But still she kept on crying. Since, I am new at this, I got so alarmed and waked my hubby. He told me that I just take care of her and she needs my attention. Gesh! That was some solution. Anyway, I massaged her legs until she closed her eyes because she was still very sleepy. After awhile, she cried again and said that the pain is still there. So, I opted to get a hot water and poured it into an empty glass bottle, wrapped it with some cloth. I placed it near her knees and ankles as long as she could tolerate the heat. Afterwards, I kept on massaging and rubbing her ankles and knees. Now, she is sleeping again. I hope she would sleep soundly. I don't want to see her in pain and crying. But I decided to stay awake, do some little blogging and just in case she would be in pain, I can readily rub her knees again.

Feeling Wow! Looking Wow!

I remember one of the famous Filipina actress who was once a chubby gal and now, she is as sexy as she can ever be. She has a good career and a very handsome rich boyfriend.

Well, being sexy and beautiful is not for celebrities and is not bad at all. Besides, I for instance wanted to be pretty and sexy all the time. Of course, as a married woman, it's for my hubby's eyes only - others may look but no touch! (LOL!) Sometimes, when women get married, they tend not to take care about their bodies anymore. Which in fact not healthy, not only for marital reasons but also for health reasons. I, in my own opinion, it's a must to be sexy, beautiful and healthy!

If you have gained weight, no need to worry. Science and technology have found many ways to trim down safely and reasonably-priced. One of these and pretty much popular is the used of diet pills. They have been proven helpful and safe. But still, when using these products, you must take caution and find the best diet pills. Research online and try to access data on best diet pills, so that can also compare prices and contents.

My sister does take diet pills. Now, she is really feeling wow and looking wow! Of course, she does exercise too.

Rate My Life Quiz

In my blog hopping session, I saw these "Rate My Life" Quiz. I wanted to try at first but decided to pass it by and then again, I was able to visit Mommy Sheng's Blog and I saw it again. I was curious to try to see how they would rate my life. Here are the results and they said it's reasonably high but I should say...it might be true in some aspect and others...well, I doubt. Compared to my friends who took this test, mine is somehow very low and I don't know why. Maybe because I answered "never" to exercise? LOL! Anyway, try it...it can be fun!

Take the Rate My Life Quiz

Your Life Analysis:

Life: Your life rating is a score of the sum total of your life, and accounts for how satisfied, successful, balanced, capable, valuable, and happy you are. The quiz attempts to put a number on the summation of all of these things, based on your answers. Your life score is reasonably high. This means that you are on a good path. Continue doing what is working and set about to improve in areas which continue to lag. Do this starting today and you will begin to reap the benefits immediately.

Mind: Your mind rating is a score of your mind's clarity, ability, and health. Higher scores indicate an advancement in knowledge, clear and capable thinking, high mental health, and pure thought free of interference. Your mind score is not bad, but could be improved upon. Your mental health is not weak, but you are not achieving full mental clarity and function. Learn how to unclutter your mind. Keep learning, keep improving, continue moving forward.

Body: Your body rating measures your body's health, fitness, and general wellness. A healthy body contributes to a happy life, however many of us are lacking in this area. Your body score is fairly average, which means there is room for improvement. Keep a focus on your physical health. Protect your body as it is your most valuable physical asset. Nutrition, stress reduction, and exercise are key.

Spirit: Your spirit rating seeks to capture in a number that elusive quality which is found in your faith, your attitude, and your philosophy on life. A higher score indicates a greater sense of inner peace and balance. Your spirit score is relatively high, which means you are rewarded by your beliefs. Spirituality is clearly important to do. Never let it slip, and continue to learn and grow.

Friends/Family: Your friends and family rating measures your relationships with those around you, and is based on how large, healthy, and dependable your social network is. Your friends and family score is quite healthy. You have a social network you can depend upon. Count your blessings, but never forget that these bonds need to be maintained. Keep your friends and family close.

Love: Your love rating is a measure of your current romantic situation. Sharing your heart with another person is one of life's most glorious, terrifying, rewarding experiences. Your love score is fairly average. Things could be worse, and thankfully they aren't. But you must work to improve this area, turn an average score into a great score.

Finance: Your finance rating is a score that rates your current financial health and stability. You have a rather good financial score, which is not all that common these days. Keep doing what works. Avoid common pitfalls and save for the future. You will be glad you did.

Insuring Your Family's Future

More and more I spend each day with my children, a thought about my children's future always come into my mind. Would they be safe? Would they have a good life? Would they survive the future? Well, I guess that's perfectly normal for a parent like me. You want everything smooth and easy for them. As much as possible, you want them to be there every time they make their decisions just to supervise them.

Anyway, as children as they are right now, it's not their burden to carry my worries. It's mine for now. It would be my initiative to make everything smooth as much as possible (though that would be an impossible statement since we don't hold the future in our hands) in little ways I can. One of those that I have been thinking lately is a family life insurance. The thought of being prepared (a little as possible) when the unexpected will happen makes me a little more comfortable. Well, education, food and clothing are basic...we are already here to prepare for it...but what about accidents and events?? I don't wish for it but I guess it would be a good choice to get a family life insurance. Since, I don't have a fixed paying job, I need to find one that is very affordable and easy on my budget just like what I saw from another website last time. Maybe, I should get one!

NIGHT-OFF

I am usually up during the wee hours of the night till dawn. But last night, I just have to take a night-off! I was feeling very tired and sleepy. So, I slept early than the usual dawn-sleeping. FLASH NEWS: My was husband was kind enough to wash the dishes after he played with my PC.

Maybe my body is still adjusting to the things that I have been lately doing. All are basic - cook, clean and care for the kids; but I now I know how it really feels to be a" stay-at-home" mommy. It's very tiring and exhausting but definitely a well-paying job - with lots of kisses and i love yous and never ending mommy calls.

EDSA's 22nd Year Anniversary

I really don't remember what happened at EDSA 22 years ago. Hey! How would I know that my country was about to explode? I was yet 6 years old back then. All I cared about was chocolates and toys. Hehehe....

Anyway, our country is celebrating the 22nd year anniversary of EDSA Revolution or the 1st People Power. No work for the government and some other private sectors, including my husband's plant.

I didn't watched T.V. I am not into political matters...they don't listen to small people like us anyway. They just listen during elections and promise you good projects if they get elected.

I am just thankful that today is a holiday...I get to see my husband at home for 3 days (Saturday until today). Yep! See....because we are not doing something together...he just plays a game at my PC and I am stuck with his laptop. He promises to go swimming but it didn't happened. He promised to go to the mall but it didn't happened. How I wish I could make my own EDSA Revolution now against him! LOL!!

Back to the EDSA topic...it's just nice to remember that once in the history of the Philippines, I saw people got united! - Once?- I consider the 2nd and the 3rd as a remake...nothing original - all politics!!

Below is a pic I saw while searching google about EDSA.
