What can I say? But, now I can really feel the sentiments of other bloggers whose PR's had indeed dropped from something to nothing.Huhuhuhu!
I screened the opps to take so at least I can maintain my second blog's rating. But, this was at all futile.waaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!
But, this is indeed the price of paid reviews, unless there are other viable reasons for the drops.
I just wish I can have it pulled up again. Best of luck for me!
As a blogger, I want my blog to be known on things that I love well. Best of all, I want to meet new people who share the same interests that I do.
While I write with what had happened to me or any of my loved ones or simply anything that cross my mind, I want to increase my traffic as well by doing blog hops. So, I go from one blog site to another and leave my mark. Further, I do check blog-pool communities which can help me increase my blog popularity.
One of the blog portals that cause blog traffic is FeedCluster.com. I checked the site and I can be one of the aggregators who shall invite other bloggers who share the same passion as I do. I know this will make me know them more and in the process, I can learn from them a lot, may it be for personal education or otherwise.
I can invite my blogger - friends to the site and increase all our traffic at the same time. I can add a widget too to link my blog and increase my popularity. There are a number of aggregators who are hosted by FeedCluster.com. You want your blog to be popular? Do sign up now. And don't forget to add my blog. Just click on the link, and automatically, we are hooked.
Since I started blogging, I use this skill and medium to help my students learn more through the net and its resources. I could not give them all as my knowledge is limited too compared to what the world holds.
So, I made class blogs for them, so I can post assignments and notices. But, I wish that I could help them more by giving them online resources that they can just view at any time. College students seldom really bring notes that they do poorly during exams. Hehehehe! Students of this generation is really far different from yesteryears. Agree?
I shall start writing for my education blog to hold programming lectures and articles in Java, C, and C++. This will help me indeed when I shall start writing a new book this summer as a learning module for next school year. I guess, this means, I shall be more busy in the coming days.hahahhah!
Now that blogging has become a routine to me, I helped my sister, Tammy in her newly acquired domain blog. She helped a lot with my Entrecard dropping since I go to work and to school among other things.
So, I helped here through sites that can help her get some review offers. She struggled a lot like any amateur which I had more difficulty since I had no one to help me except Twerlyn who is living in a remote city.
But, with persistence and reprimands from me, my sister is learning the blogging craft.Hehehehehhe! Way to go sis!
This is way overdue and actually my first.hahahahahha! But, I thank these kind bloggers below for constantly visiting my blog. Do check them out too.

It has been months since I lack my usual 8 sleep hours. When my kid decided to sleep with my parents, I get to stay late and work on my masteral requirements, lectures for school, shirt printing and just simply watch old movies, hop blogs. Hahahhahah! These mean staying very late and waking up early morning. waaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!
I only take vitamins to keep my immune system up. But, I surely miss jogging among other things since my lower back pains more of constant sitting for longer time.
As I type, my head is spinning from 4 hours of sleep only. But, I have to head for work early since I have to administer our midterm exams. Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! Any advice.
With the increasing economic crisis, where every commodity has gone more expensive, one can only think of ways how to to earn extra and pay less for more. How Much Energy Does a gadget cause anyway?
We have a lot of gadgets from the house, TV's, cellphones, radio, lights, and entertainment appliances, fans, laptop and notebook and more. Our electrical bill has been increasing, and this means paying more.
But, somehow we manage to save on the energy. If no one uses the room, lights then should be off. We wash and iron our clothes by batches so not to waste energy on individual activity. We do not iron house clothes. We hung our laundry so not to iron them much. We ask the kids to play the games only during weekend and only for an hour. We turn off the aircon after 5 hours of use in the evening and just open the windows for the morning breeze. We need these equipment for convenience but we can somehow save energy if we just know how to maximize it.
This is indeed long overdue since my other blog has been redesigned a month ago. Hahahhahaha! But, I finally had the time and the sanity to do what must be done.
I have been an advocate of peace and from my studies, peace does not only mean absence of warm but freedom as well from mental, social, physical and psychological harm. Philippines has her fair share of problems brought up by wrong economic policies and/or wrong implementation. I could dig a number of social problems to specifically address these.
But in the other side of the earth, these problems had occured too, specifically in Ukrainian between 1932-1933 where 1/4 of the population of Soviet Union died of golodomor. Golodomor comes "golod" means hunger and with the label, golodomor, it means killed by hunger or mass famine.
In that year, scholars estimated a death of 6-8 million peasants where the aggregated number came from these areas of Soviet Union, Central Russia - 2 million deaths, Kazhastan - 1.7 million deaths, Ukraine - 1.3 million deaths, and North Caucasus - 1 million deaths.
In that period, Ukraine was in the regime of a communist Soviet Union, Joseph Stalin who sought massive transformation in his bureaucracy with extremely harsh collectivization of agriculture.
I began my research with the real causes of this tragedy but even historians and experts are divided by the real causes. Some say that the famine was deliberately engineered that they changed the golodomor to holodomor which sounds like "holocaust", and must then be meant as genocide. This was done to undermine or attack Ukraine but this was disputed by European Parliament in its resolution on 23 October 2008 rejected to call the famine of 1932-1933 in Ukraine as "an act of genocide" but a crime that was "cynically and cruelly planned by Stalin's regime in order to force through the Soviet Union's policy of collectivization of agriculture".
My research also revealed that there were other reasons for this famine. These included poor general and agricultural management and planning, despite the significant amount of modern agricultural mechanisms like agricultural tractors, harvesters employed. But the main reason was that they continually sowed wheat from 1929 on the same areas and even without fertilizers. Sovkhozes also suffered from a lack of manpower and infrastructure. Losses during harvesting were extremely high.
Further, under the strict rule of Stalin he pursued export of food when there was nothing to be be harvested, thus contributing to the famine.
I could only know that the failure of Stalin's management had contributed to this mass famine and should not be connoted as holodomor.
My Only Picture from the Hundred Shots I Took
My Kid and Nephew who look like a BIG 10
My kid and nephew are having their educational tour today. I decided to be absent from class so I can at least spend time with my kid.
I brought the yaya with me so at least, I wouldn't be having hard time to look over the boys. We were only 1 hour away from the city. And as I type, the boys are having good time in their kidde pool. However, we have to spend the whole day here. I know the kids will surely have fun, but I have to sneak away from them, so I can somehow update my blog. Bad mommy! hahahhahah!
Are you worried with your age and looks when you started to see wrinkles and lines on your foreheads or under your eyes? I do but these are the things that we have to endure as we age and we go through with our pressing lifestyles and polluted environment.
But, I also find ways and means to at least contain the signs of aging. One of the top ways is through botox. Botox is a protein derived from botulism toxin that is injected underneath skin in order to minimize or smooth out lines and wrinkles on the face. With small doses, this can relax facial muscles that would give the patient a clear and smooth outcome.
Their Medical Set
I joined the blog contest of Bariles on David Pomeranz since he will be holding a concert on Feb. 14. I submitted my entry a day before the deadline and I was told that a number of very good writers had submitted too. I didn't really expect much since my story was somehow a story only heard in a Love Segment of AM station.Hahahhaha!!!!
But, when Bariles, texted me this late afternoon in between my classes that the result was finally released, I simply asked my sister, Tammy, to check but not at all expecting.
When we got home, we were both adamant to read the complete story. And, guess what? My entry was in the top 5. It means, I am one of the big winners. Yeeeeeeeeeepeeeeeeey! I couldn't contain my joy because we get to have 2 VIP tickets instead of 1 as originally announced, and we had 1000.00 worth of gift certificate each from this glamorous resto in the city, Grab a Crab. I am thinking of using my gift certificates to have my entire family in that place. With that, I get to hear beautiful songs of my icon, David Pomeranz, and dine with loved ones.
To all the writers, judges, sponsors, KUDOS!See you all there. Hurraaaaaay!!!
I have once written in this blog, see related article, that I was fooled in broad daylight by a scam website, EmailPaysU (or something) that asks members to read emails for $100 each. I know this is so good to be true but as trusting as I was, I actually subscribed.
With that experience, I right away checked in the net if BUXPTR where I was also a member is also legitimate. The site I checked did not include at all this website. So, I continued with my membership. The site looks very legitimate with all the testimonies of the clients. But, when I reached their minimum payout, BOOM!!!! I couldn't actually withdraw it. So, I emailed them several times but to no avail. With this, I checked if there are articles on scam websites particularly this one. Goodness! I had read that all the members complained of the same issue where I am in.
The Culprit!
Perfume is one of my vanity. I always want to smell good and with that, it seems that everything around me is as beautiful.
I go for Vanilla Lace, My Love, Dreams, and Sweet Temptation from Victoria's Secret, Harlston, Britney Spears, and Claiborne among others. Then there are scents from Calgon's and from local brands. I know they come in different sizes with different scent variants at varying rates. I just know that they are well-spent items.
I wonder if there is perfume blog covers about other scents and perfumes that I don't know. Our store sell varying perfumes but our clients would still look for brands and scents that I didn't smell yet. I still have to dig more about their orders, then, maybe I may like them myself.
Since my partner has chicken pox, I have to sleep in another room, so not to be contaminated with the virus although, I had my fair share of the sickness before when I was a kid.
So, I sleep now with my sister and her baby. But as I sleep late, working on requirements, I get to be interrupted too with the cryings.waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
I really hope things will be all normal again or else I shall be down with cranky disease too.
My family and I are into sports. We find these as our relaxant. We tried badminton, basketball, war games, and outdoor climbs among others. These games not only bring you to sweat but they also make you more relaxed and completely away from your usual routines from work and social functions.
I have a very busy schedules too. You can say I am indeed workaholic and very passionate about it. My works bring forth heavy and difficult pressures on me, physically and mentally. These too stress my family members as we struggle between our time for work and family.
We indeed need a vacation! Summer is soon to come. And as a teacher, it means vacation time from the hurdles of classrooms and requirements. This a time also for my kid to rest from school.
What is my dream vacation anyway? I wish that I can be in a place like in the historical sites in Germany where there is nature as a background with wonderful lakes and landscapes, and beautiful spa services.Best of all, I wish I can try other sports. I have been wanting to play golf, but some say, this is only a game for the elite. I hope then that I can have a Golf Vacation or in German, they call it Golfurlaub.
This golf vacation will teach us the fundamental and advance Golfkurs (golf course) lessons by very patient and expert trainers on wide gulf field with complete hotel amenities. They can even teach golf for handicaps and children through Platzreife or a playing test before you can play golf in Germany.
I checked a Geman golf portal, and they offered this golf holiday where you can enroll to their golf academy and learn to play golf like a professional. Next thing you know it, you may actually play golf in places like Italy or Spain among others. Best of all, they offer wide selection and collection of golf articles and equipment and peripherals that indeed can help you learn and master this craft.
This website is written in German but I simply used a website translator and I could right away understand the content. I have to say, they are indeed the expert in their field. I look forward then to having that holiday with them.
I am a teacher by work and have been one for the last 10 years. Ooopps!!!! But my life then was quite a dull. My other deviations were only to work as an administrator and to watch Korean soap operas.Hahahhahahahaha! In spite of these, I seemed to be contented already only that I was frustrated because my IT background was not fully maximized nor supported by masteral degree in it when I was supposed to.
So, when I hit home here in Gensan, I acted like a wild goose on the loose.heheheheheh! I held pure teaching job of 44 hours per week, enrolled in masters in IT and took classes every weekend, started blogging, joined the department's publication and ventured on fashion accessories. Geez! Writing all these works made me wonder where I got all the energy.hahahahah!
Why was I motivated to acquire all these anyway while others were settled with one job and their family? Perhaps, the constant advice of my father before of not wasting my time is the culprit.hahahahahha! I couldn't really stay put doing nothing. Is this a sickness or what?
So, I researched the possible effects of multiple jobs: stress, pressures, work-life imbalance among others.
I could not however redo what I started, I only wish I have more time.hahahhaahha! This only means, more jobs to acquire! Silly me.
But, what do I get from these anyway? I listed my answers below to at least appreciate still my enthusiasm:
Jobs/Benefits
1. teaching:
- steady income but happiness of knowing that students have learned from me academic skills or otherwise
2. schooling:
- self-respect and community's recognition that I practice my education
3. blogging:
- meeting new friends/learning from them and earning extra at the same time
4. fashion designing
- pride and creativity to express my concepts and getting others to wear them
5. mountain climbs
- peace and self-reflection
6. etc
- just simple joys
WOW! I seemed to be happy with what I am doing. I wish that I can write mothering and be very good at.I am indeed a struggle on this area. Holding multiple jobs pay off alright but usually its the balance between these jobs and social life that is sacrificed.
Do you have friends or family members who are addicted to drugs and alcohols. I had a fair share of stories to tell. Having known them makes me feel sorry for the dependents and the families as they too experience the ordeal of having an addict at home.
But, we should not outcast the users. And, since we love them that we don't want them to waste their life more, we provide means to help them move on and have a better life.
Addiction requires professional help. Good thing, there is drug treatment that specifically addresses the unique care needed by the dependent. It is a promise of renewed hope for the users and for the family who care and love a lot.
Some of my friends say that I am a working superwoman.Hahahahhah! I played many roles and I don't seem to take a break. Whenever I don't have classes, I go to our store and start working either on my masteral Java programming or designing handicrafts.
But, what I indeed miss is spending time with my kid. I wish to help him read so he can be ready for school. I know I have to slow down, otherwise, I will be missing again the most valuable work for me, being a mother.Sigh!
