Life According to Me

Penis Jewelry--WTF?!

2009-11-10T16:55:00.005+08:00

What is up with all the spam comments I have been getting for all my blogs? How do comments containing words like penis jewelry, viagra, sexual stamina and the like get through JS Kit when I have already blocked those words? I have been getting comments about increasing sexual stamina and stuff like that, even ads about the little blue pill and it really annoys the hell out of me because these spam comments are posted as me, when in fact I did not post such things... Anyway, since we are already on the topic, I got curious, I mean wouldn't you? I wanted to know what Penis Jewelry looked like and where exactly it was worn. I would post a picture, but blogger would probably ban me from ever posting another blog post, so anyway, it's just jewelry which happens to be for the man's precious jewels. Haha! I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself. Oh, just in case you were wondering, this is a paid post, otherwise I wouldn't even think about posting stuff like these. But I really do get those kinds of comments.

Random Tuesday Thoughts: Weird things and Stuff

2009-11-10T16:55:00.000+08:00

Hey all, it's the time of the week where it seems like I am random only for a day but when in fact I am random everyday but choose to only admit I am random during this specific day, which is today, Tuesday.

Last weekend, I found out from one of my sister's best friend that my classmate in high school died of a heart attack. I was so freaked out, why? Because I remember that morning that I have just adopted a freakin' duck for my farm on Farmville. How weird is it that he's been dead for a week when I found out and yet someone still plays Farmville for him. Freaky. This morning, his profile picture changed as well, and I'm like, WTF? Aren't you supposed to be dead? I mean come on, delete your Facebook account already! Great, "he" just asked me to be his neighbor in Cafe World. No offense dude, but I don't think I'd want to be your neighbor in Cafe World. Okay fine, I'll be your neighbor, but only cause I need more neighbors.

I am shopping for a new lappy. I don't care about the brand anymore, as long as it's light, fast, wifi capable and portable. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm going to name it, Jakey. Yes, I name my stuff. I'm weird like that.

Birthdays make me cry happy tears.

I feel happy when people are happy. More people should be happy. Happiness is contagious.

What the hell is the difference between Pentium Dual Core and Intel Core 2 Duo. Can somebody explain it in ENGLISH??

I want to buy so many things this Christmas, but I am afraid I won't be able to afford it all. I hope I get to buy a new phone and a lappy though. Come on, someone hire me to be a video game tester!

There are only 45 days left before Christmas.

I think B is working too hard.

People complain that Lucas' feet stink right after he removes his shoes, especially when he doesn't wear socks. I, on the other hand, love the smell. It's stinky but then I love sniffing it. It's stinkylicious. I love that word. Yeah, I know, I'm weird.

HP, MSI, Asus, Gateway, Lenovo and Dell. Your thoughts?

Live like a rock star!

I like the Disney cartoon, Phineas and Ferb.

Grandmama is Home!

2009-11-10T16:17:00.001+08:00

Finally, my grandmother who has been living in the states for 9 years have finally come home. She came home a few times over the years but she only gets to stay for a month then, but now she has decided to stay indefinitely. I am glad she's home because in 9 years, this is going to be the first time that she'll spend Christmas with us. She is my mom's mom and she raised my sister and I ever since my parents separated and virtually abandoned us. My parents are lucky to have her, she took us from their hands and gave us the good life. Sure, we didn't have a mom and a dad and our family was not the conventional one, but for a time, we were all happy. Until I became a teen and had all this angst. Haha. But that's a story I'll tell another time. Anyway, you can just imagine how much I love my grandma, and having her with us is one of the best things that has happened to me this year.

She still has some stuff left in California, where she has resided for 9 years, but I think that once she finally decides to stay here for good then I guess some of our relatives there can just hire a moving company like that of the Los Angeles Moving Company, and perhaps move her stuff in a storage facility or have them ship it over here. Also, she has decided to put her house up for sale. I think that's a sure sign that she might be staying for good. Although she is still having second thoughts about staying home with us for good, and I don't blame her, living in the US has more advantages than living here. Since my grandmother is an American citizen, she has benefits in the US that she will never have here, like free medical check ups and stuff. She also says the food is way better than what we have over here, what do you expect? We are after all living in a third world country. On the other hand, her family is here, and that is one thing that she'll never have in the US. Sure, she'll be well taken care of in the US, but we're not there and she gets lonely sometimes. My grandmother is 75+ years old, and personally, I'd like her to stay here, it's my turn to take care of her.

Moving Companies Los Angeles have professionally trained and experienced movers so you can rest assure that your stuff will be safe and sound even if it gets moved around.

For some reason, whenever I think of professional movers, the words, Movers Los Angeles is the one that comes to my mind.

Do you have stuff that you want to be moved to another place? Are you moving? Why not hire people from Moving Company Los Angeles, for a very affordable price they can move your stuff and have you settled in your new home in no time. Hiring professionals sure beats breaking a sweat, and everyone knows that packing is a tedious job, so I say, let the professionals do it for you. I wouldn't even have second thoughts about hiring someone to move my stuff if I do move from one house to another. I am saving my energy for unpacking and re-furnishing my new home. What say you?

Music Monday: At the Beginning with You by Donnal Lewis and Richard Marx*

2009-11-09T20:50:00.004+08:00

Hey all, it's Music Monday time.

This week, I want to feature a song from one of my favorite cartoons, Anastasia. If you have been a reader and a follower of my blogs, then you know that I love history and myths, which is why I love the story of Anastasia. For those of you who don't know, Anastasia is the youngest daughter of the last Czar of Imperial Russia. Years after her family was murdered by the Bolshevik Secret Police, rumors circulated that she has somehow managed to escape and numerous women pretended to be her, which made her so famous. Anyway, google her , if you want to know more about her.

So anyway, I love the cartoon and the soundtrack as well. I also love Donna Lewis, so here's a song from the cartoon's soundtrack called At the Beginning with You by Richard Marx and Donna Lewis.

Happy Music Monday all! Don't forget to check out my picks over at A Network of Entertainment and Worldly Quirks.

It's Tea time

2009-11-06T13:49:00.002+08:00

Ever since my grandmother came home from the states, my sister and I join her for tea every afternoon(although, I only get to spend it with them during the weekends and some days). I know, right? It's so English, I love it!

My grandmother is into teas, she loves all kinds of tea, everyday it's different, we've had green tea, red tea and white tea. She says tea helps the body detoxify. I am more of a coffee person and sometimes I skip the tea and have coffee, my sister, Coy, however have been influenced by my grandmother and literally takes tea all the time.

It doesn't matter what we drink during our "tea time" though, as long as we get to spend time together, it's fine.

Random Tuesday Thoughts on a Wednesday*

2009-11-04T15:24:00.002+08:00

Yes, it's called Random Tuesday Thoughts for a reason. And yes, I am aware that it's Wednesday.

For some reason, I feel worried. I know I didn't do anything wrong and yet I feel anxious, like I'm in trouble for something I'm not aware of. Maybe I astral projected and robbed a bank or something, because I feel like I am wanted by the law or something. Weird right?

Frequent readers of this blog probably think I'm crazy.

I say "something" more often than necessary.

Yesterday, instead of doing my chores and stuff, I played video games instead. I loved every minute of it.

I failed to wake up on time yesterday morning, so the school bus left Chakai because when it came, we had just gotten up from bed. I had to bring her to school, I had to take Lucas with me as well. We too a cab on the way but then I decided to enjoy the perfect sunny weather with Lucas so we took a walk and then we took a jeep home. Lucas loves walking. I love holding his little hand while walking. We stopped in a bakery for a few minutes and bought some goodies, which Lucas finished even before we got home.

I'm playing Farmville while I do this. And Cafe World. I'm still trying to catch up to Bem and Bill's levels on Cafe World, but I've fallen so far behind because I played video games yesterday and wasn't able to check on my Facebook games. Facebook is evil I tell you, eeeevvvviiiilll!!! I can't stop playing, no thanks to Phatelara who influenced me to play the games in the first place.

Happy Blogoversary to Mariuca! Her blog, Wishing On A Falling Star celebrated its 3rd anniversary yesterday, Yay! Congratulations Marzie, I am looking forward to reading more of your posts in the coming years! Hugs and kisses!

Okay, so that's as random as I'm going to get today, go over to The Un Mom, my fave super hero's lair for more randomness.

Wait wait, is superhero considered 1 word or is it supposed to be separated with a space, as in, super hero?? I'm confused.

Music Monday: Relax by Powerman 5000*

2009-11-02T00:06:00.002+08:00

Hey everybody, I hope you had a great weekend. It's Monday once again, and it's time for one of my favorite memes, Music Monday, brought to us by the awesome LadyJava.

Anyway, this week, my sister has been singing a line from this song over and over. It stuck to my mind, thanks a lot, Coy. So anyway, I thought I'd feature it for this week's Music Monday.

This song was originally sung by a boy band from the 80's called Frankie Goes To Hollywood and then it was done by Powerman 5000 and it was featured in the movie Zoolander with Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson, love that movie by the way.

My sister and I know only one line of this song, which was, "relax don't do it, when you want to do it", and we sing that line over and over. LOL. I didn't know what the song was really about, until I decided to feature it for Music Monday. So here, have a listen.

I was supposed to post the lyrics, but when I realized it was about having an orgasm, I changed my mind. So basically, this is an ewww kind of song, but hey, it was a hit in the 80's and the music is pretty darn catchy.

Don't forget to check out my picks over at A Network of Entertainment and Worldly Quirks okay? Happy Music Monday All!

Friday Frustrations: Cooperation*

2009-10-30T20:45:00.004+08:00

I am so grateful that Maria has come up with a therapeutic meme. Well, it is therapeutic for me because I get to vent about things that make me lose my temper, most of the time.

This week, B went on a 4 day business trip, which meant I had to deal with the kids, 24/7 for 4 whole days. There were times that Chakai and Lucas were a breeze to handle, but then there are times that they just won't cooperate with me and I feel as if they do it on purpose just to test me, you know? Like on Wednesday morning, the first morning that B was away, Chakai burst into tears, for no reason at all, and refused to eat her breakfast. I felt so angry but tried to remain as calm as possible because I knew if I lost my temper, 1. B would hear about it and 2. Chakai wouldn't eat her breakfast and the school bus was coming in like 10 minutes. So, I asked her why she was crying and at first she didn't answer me, but then after a while she said she missed her daddy. Okay, so I told her we'll call dad when she gets home from school, and then rushed her to eat her breakfast and brush her teeth. I managed to get her ready a minute before the school bus arrived. Whew!

And then it was Lucas' turn. That evening, he just wouldn't go to sleep. He kept walking around as if he was looking for someone and refused to sleep, even though he was clearly sleepy. I tried to let him watch Barney but he just wouldn't look at the tv and he just cried. After minutes and minutes of crying, it felt like more than an hour, he finally stopped crying and fell asleep watching Elmocize. Whew!

That was some day. Don't even get me started on the other days because that is not all! Have you ever felt that whenever you need people or things to cooperate with you the most, that's the time when they don't? Sigh, so frustrating!

While we are on the subject of cooperating, Today.com absolutely refuses to let me see ANY today blogs, including my own today blog dashboard. It has been more than a month since I was able to access my today blog, Worldly Quirks from my home. For some reason, Today.com has blocked my IP address because whenever I visit Today blogs, I get an Error 403. I can access my control panel, but I can't view my blog's dashboard which is why I haven't been able to post much. I wrote to Today.com's support numerous times, I think 6 times, and 2 of my complain letters were written in ALL CAPS, and I only got a response after the second angry, all caps letter, which was my 5th letter to them. They asked for my IP address and then after I have e-mailed it to them, nothing. They just completely forgot about me. Just because I am not a top Today blogger doesn't mean I should be ignored, right? Today.com's support sucks! What? Are there so many complain letters that they can't respond within at least 2-4 days? I am so angry at Today.com! Your customer support sucks Today.com!!! Anyway, I am able to update from anywhere else except my home, how inconvenient is that? Thanks a lot Today.

This week was a very tiring one. I hope you had a better week than I did. If you feel like venting, go ahead and join us, visit ConversationsWithMoms for more Friday Frustrations, reading about other people's frustrations make us feel better ~~always~~ sometimes.

Random Tuesday Thoughts: It's Tuesday?!**

2009-10-27T23:28:00.004+08:00

It's Tuesday?! I can't believe it's Tuesday, again. Where do the days go? I feel as if time flew past me and it left me on my spot, standing still, lazy and unable to move. Oh well.

You have probably noticed by now that I haven't been updating my blogs regularly like I used to these past months, and I hate it. It's great that I have a job and all, but it sucks that I can't blog as often as I want to. I like that I earn a few extra bucks from being a web content writer, but I hate that it pays peanuts and it keeps me from blogging. I am still hoping for a job that pays well and is not stressful, good luck to me, right? As if I can find a job that won't feel like one.

Video Game Tester. Now, that's a JOB. Anyone want any new games tested? I work for peanuts, have you heard?!

Anyway, I went out with one of my girlfriends today, I had the kids with me, it was great because my kids are well behaved whenever we're out in public. Except sometimes, I wish Lucas would stop walking around so much.

B hasn't been gone for a full 24 hours yet and I miss him so much, I am actually trying my hardest not to keep calling him, I don't want him to feel that I don't trust him, because that's what it'll look like if I keep calling him every hour or so. I think I may have separation anxiety or something...

This past week, my employer asked me to write about Forex robots and forex software. I was like, WTF? I didn't know anything about that stuff, I actually had to research and actually understand stuff about Forex so I could write about it well enough. It was so hard, I felt like a first grader struggling with Math!

Stupid Math.

I can't wait for Chakai's semestral break, a break from Chakai's school means more time for me to spend online which translates to more money, hopefully.

I want to get $600 from blogging alone. It seems like a dream, but I'm told it's possible to earn that much.

B is away on a 4 day business trip. I miss him and I hate that he's more than 4 kms away from me. It sucks.

So, my Tuesday is okay so far. I hope it doesn't rain again soon, because I am really loving the perfect sunny weather we're having.

I still get an Error 403, it's been more than a month now by the way, when I try to view today.com blogs here at home, but when I am over at my Uncle's place I can see today blogs fine. Stupid today.com and their pathetic customer support service, totally suckish.

NOTE TO FCC (First Commenters Club) Members: I hope you guys forgive me for not updating my FCSB stats, I promise I'll get on it as soon as I can.

So anyway, that is all the randomness I have for next week. Head on over to my fave superhero's lair for more awesome Tuesday randomness and see ya'll next week!

Music Monday: Everybody Wants to Rule the World by Tears for Fears**

2009-10-19T00:06:00.003+08:00

This is definitely one of my favorite songs from the 80's. There is no doubt about it, the 80's had the best songs ever! It's been a while since I did Music Monday, thanks to my suckish internet connection courtesy of Typhoon Ketsana (Ondoy) and Typhoon Parma (Pepeng) so I'd like to dedicate this to my Music Sister, who loves 80's music too by the way , Mariuca. Happy Music Monday sweetie!

This first video is a video clip from a cartoon called The PowerPuff Girls, I'm sure you moms out there have heard of it, that's what motherhood does, it makes you a walking cartoon wikipedia. In this music video, the heroes' nemesis is tired of everybody wanting to rule the world so he decides to just quit in the midst of everyone fighting and leave. He's the monkey and he's name is Mojo Jojo. This video is so cute! Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Here's the original song sung by Tears for Fears, I so love British pop/rock bands! Enjoy people!

Happy Music Monday folks and I hope you check out my Music Monday picks over at A Network of Entertainment and finally, Worldly Quirks is back online, so check out my pick there too!

Random Tuesday Thoughts: Hits and Misses*

2009-10-13T09:40:00.005+08:00

I missed another round of Music Monday again, and this time, that's all thanks to my crappy internet provider which has gone from crappy to crappier because of typhoon Parma (local name Pepeng).

If you've read my previous post, then you'll know that our city has been isolated from the rest of our country since typhoon Parma left, and because of that basic commodities like food and fuel have started to run out, and people were starting to freak out. Finally today, somehow, people have managed to bring in food and fuel into the city. I read they used a pulley... Check it out.

photo from inquirer.net

If you click on the picture it will take you to a page with the whole story. And yes, those are pigs on the pulley. Dead pigs I hope. Dead healthy pigs.

About 300 people died because of land slides and mud slides in Northern Luzon because of typhoon Parma.

Now, the weather is perfect. It's sunny but it's not too hot.

I have a part time job, but it pays peanuts. I so need a job that actually helps me make enough money to blow off on stuff. Anybody looking for a web content writer? Hire me please.

So once again, blogger has failed to publish this post despite the fact that I set it to be published on Tuesday at 3 PM. I just noticed it wasn't published and it's already Thursday, 12:09 am. Ugh, blogger.

Just Lucky, I guess*

2009-10-11T09:02:00.006+08:00

I lost my internet connection for 2 days, and I swear I felt like I was going to go crazy. Not only did I lose potential money I can earn from my part time job as a web content writer, I also couldn't play my games on Facebook!

If you know me, then you know that I don't watch the news, unless I really have to. I don't like watching the news because I don't want to keep hearing about how bad people treat each other, because on our local news, all you hear about are killings and robberies and minor theft and don't even get me started on politics, all very upsetting news, so I don't watch it. I only watch the celebrity news. I read the news from the internet because I can choose what headline I want to read or watch, so I skip the news about killings and robberies and politics. So anyway, with my internet connection out and with all possible games on my lappy played and high scored, I had no choice but to sit down and watch tv. My Mother In Law was watching the news, and so I had no choice but to watch the news too. I was shocked, horrified at what I learned. Apparently a subdivision near us, like 15 minutes away from our house if you walk, had a landslide and nothing is left. I barely recognized the place when I saw a picture if it. A lot of people were trapped in their homes and a lot died.

That's not the worse part, apparently, no one can get in or out of Baguio via roads. ALL roads in or out of Baguio have been closed because of landslides, rock slides and mudslides. Last night, B told me that almost all of the gasoline stations have closed down, their supply have run out. The government has to clear up and open the roads soon because it won't be long until food becomes scarce, although I am hoping that doesn't happen. B works in a shopping mall right? Yes, and you know, despite what is happening to our city, people still shop, according to B, they were still able to reach their daily quota of something millions and they even managed to exceed their quota of a few millions. Yeah, people shop when they are upset about something.

So anyway, we're okay. Compared to most people, I guess we're lucky not to have suffered majorly because of Typhoon Parma (local name Pepeng). Come to think of it, losing my internet connection was the worst thing that happened to us, and for that, we thank God. May we always be this lucky and blessed.

I say a small prayer for all those people who have been heavily affected by the typhoon, please do the same, and thanks in advance.

Cooking Is A Science

2009-10-08T09:25:00.006+08:00

I have always wanted to become a Gourmet Chef. I'm like Remy the Rat in Ratatouille, only I am not as good a cook as Remy the Rat. Which is why that is one of my frustrations, but I guess I wouldn't have made a good chef anyway, because I am not that adventurous when it comes to cooking and as much as possible, I stick to the recipe. I'm not like Coy, my sister, or B who'd take risks and cook something different or out of the ordinary. As a matter of fact, B reminds me a little bit of Heston Blumenthal, the author of the big fat duck cookbook. Heston Blumenthal is known as the proponent of Modern Cooking and his style is reflected through the courageous dishes he makes, like that of his bacon and egg ice cream, snail porridge and parsnip cereal. He has been on numerous shows such as Kitchen Chemistry with Heston Blumenthal, Heston Blumenthal: In Search of Perfection and Heston Blumenthal: Further Adventures In Search of Perfection. Heston Blumenthal did not have formal culinary schooling and yet he has become one of the top chefs in the world. He's known for his bacon and egg ice cream and snail porridge. He put up a restaurant which he called The Fat Duck. The big fat duck cookbook tells the story of how Heston Blumenthal opened up The Big Fat Duck restaurant in 2001. The book is divided into 3 parts, the first part tells the story of the inspiration and the opening of his restaurant, The Fat Duck. The second part consists of recipes that are on the menu of the Fat Duck, as well as recipes that were once part of the Fat Duck's menu and the third part is devoted to the science of cooking. If you are a Heston Blumenthal fan then you'll love other books he's written which you can purchase online via borders.

Although I'm sure his recipes taste good and all, but I am more of a Rachel Ray kind of cook. Rachel Ray also didn't have formal culinary schooling, but she is one of the top chefs in the world too, although she prefers to be called a cook, I admire her because she is so humble and she has great recipes that the average joe can make in 30 minutes or less. I love Rachel Ray's 30 minute meals, they are fast and easy to do, perfect for a mom of 2 like me who can't afford to slave around in the kitchen all day. It's a good thing that a Book Shop online offers a lot of cook books, in book form, audio books and ebooks as well. I love technology, you can find almost anything online these days.

Random Tuesday Thoughts on a Wet & Rainy Tuesday*

2009-10-06T19:55:00.006+08:00

I haven't done RTT in a while and it feels so good to be back!

How long does it freaking take to grill milk fish? Cause mine has been on the grill for 1 hour now and it is still not cooked all the way through. Frustrating. It smells so good and I feel so hungry.

I am addicted to a new game on Facebook that I recently discovered ~~no thanks~~ thanks to my friend, Cj. It's called Cafe World. It's like Restaurant City but in this one, you have the option to choose the food you're going to cook and serve your customers, and each food have specific cooking times, I can't freaking leave it alone because I'm afraid if I don't serve the food right after it's ready it gets spoiled and then you don't have enough food to serve your customers and your ratings go down. Stupid game. I don't know why I play it! I'm almost to level 10! WooHoo!!

We had Lucas' head shaved yesterday. I was reluctant at first but they said shaving his head will make his hair grow thicker, and since I don't want my son to grow up looking like he is on chemo, no offense to people undergoing chemo, I gave in and took him to the barber's shop where they shaved his head.

It has been raining non stop since this weekend. The wind is blowing so strong, I feel it trying to open the windows and I can hear it. Pretty awesome and yet creepy at the same time. Typhoon Parma is hovering over us still, it's been 5 days since he came and it looks like he's not going anywhere, anytime soon. I know for sure that a couple of landslides are bound to happen, I just hope no one gets hurt.

I love the rain, but too much rain is not fun.

The part I hate about typhoon season are power interruptions. Sometimes the electricity goes out and it takes like 8 to 12 hours before it goes back on. I keep worrying about stuff I need to do on Facebook. Not fun. LOL

I am craving for a stuffed crust, bacon cheeseburger pizza from Pizza Hut.

Ooh, and a ham and cheese calzone from Yellowcab. Yum. I am so hungry.

I went to the store to buy charcoal for the milk fish I am grilling, and the rain was so strong, the store is 5 minutes away from our house, but when I got home, I was soaking wet. I even used the big umbrella, no help at all. The rain goes with the wind and comes at me from all sides.

It's times like these that coffee tastes and smells oh so good, coffee + rain = cozy.

Go check out my fave superhero for more randomness while I go eat something. Happy Tuesday folks!

Music Monday: I Gotta Feeling by Black Eyed Peas*

2009-10-05T03:10:00.003+08:00

Don't you just love Mondays? Well, I do, and it's because of Music Monday!

I love the Black Eyed Peas, and I love all of their songs, and this one is definitely one of my favorites ever, and check out this cool video that was featured on Oprah, if you listen really good, you can hear Oprah say, "oh my fucking god" in the background... LOL I mean come on, wouldn't you curse too, if the entire audience suddenly starts to break out in a dance? It's so amazing, curses are absolutely justifiable... LOL (She says it around 3:05)

So anyway, my blogger buddy Debbie a.k.a. Phatelara has been having a bad day today because of problems caused by Today.com, so I am dedicating my Music Monday pick to her. Cheer up Debbs, I know somehow everything will work out fine. This song's for you sweetie!

B and his Skin

2009-10-04T15:14:00.003+08:00

B has skin asthma, but despite him having that, he actually has good skin. I mean, when mosquitoes bite him, they don't leave a bump, I don't think it even itches as much as it should. He also doesn't get pimples that often, sure he gets an occasional zit once in a while, but still, over all, he doesn't have to deal with acne or any of that kind of facial problems I have grown accustomed to this past few months. Yes, my face haven't fully recovered from nasty pimple scars I got months ago. It's so unfair, I take good care of my skin, I exert effort to keep it looking good and to keep acne at bay, whereas B has never even tried to use any Men's Skin Cream, ever, and yet he's the one with great skin. And you know what, when B gets a pimple, it doesn't leave a mark, and it's like he never had a pimple at all. It's so not fair. Sure, he has skin asthma, but his skin asthma only attacks whenever he feels hot, and we live in a place where the climate is cool, so that rarely ever happens. Oh well, at least only one of us needs to spend money on skin care products.

Mother Nature Unleashes Her Wrath*

2009-10-03T21:32:00.008+08:00

It's been exactly 7 days since Typhoon Ketsana (local name Ondoy) flooded cities in our country's capital, thousands of families lost everything in the flood and were only left with the clothes on their backs. A lot of people also died or went missing.

My family and I were lucky enough to have not been affected by Ketsana. Our city is on top of a mountain, so floods aren't that common. When Ketsana hit, we weren't really that concerned, 30+ typhoons hit the Philippines yearly from July to March, it's but common, plus the rain wasn't even that strong, so when we watched in the news about the flood, we were totally shocked. I immediately tried to get my mom on the phone because she lives there with my step siblings and my step dad, I wasn't able to get her on the phone as lines were down, but I'm told they weren't affected by the flood, thank God. Anyway, now, as I write this Typhoon Parma (local name Pepeng) is angrily pouring its angst on our city. Although we aren't worried about floods, because as I've said we are on a mountain, we are worried about landslides. When the ground gets too much rain, it gets soft, and the result, landslides. I am hoping and praying that this typhoon speeds up and just leaves us as soon as possible. So far, no reports of any landslides have been made, so that's good.

The rain has not stopped since it started last night. Too much rain can't be good.

An earthquake in Indonesia, a Tsunami in the Samoan Islands, and typhoons Ketsana and Parma unleashing their wrath. It's time to wake up people, Mother Nature is pissed off and she's letting us know.

I'd like to say thank you to all the people who expressed their concern about me and my family's well being, we are all fine and I'm hoping that we'll get through Typhoon Parma okay.

Typhoon Parma's winds are so strong, you can hear the wind blowing and you can hear how strong it is, and the rain is so strong it feels like at any moment the roof will just fall in. It just feels that way, but that's highly unlikely. I hope. Anyway, I will keep you guys updated.

Music Monday: The Way You Make Me Feel by Michael Jackson*

2009-09-28T09:25:00.001+08:00

Have you guys watched "Center Stage"? Well, I love this movie. This is one of my favorite scenes from the movie and of course I love love Michael Jackson's song, The Way You Make Me Feel. Happy Music Monday folks!

For some reason I can't see any today blogs, so I don't think I'll have any updates on Worldly Quirks anytime soon, but please do check out my Music Monday post on A Network of Entertainment.

I need me some Eye Cream

2009-09-26T02:05:00.003+08:00

I don’t even have a job yet and still I have been working my ass off to get me a job. Does that sound like it makes sense? I have totally neglected my blogs, and I feel like an ass abandoning all of you. I hope you guys understand though, the Christmas holidays are coming soon and I am in need of some serious cash. Right now, my main concern is that I have eye bags the size of real bags. Can you imagine? I totally look tired and I do feel tired, but hey, no pain no gain right? So now, I am in the market for a good eye cream? Anyone know of one that can soothe and rid me of these awful bags under my eyes? I need me some Eye Cream Reviews. I am going to buy me some eye cream this weekend, I am hoping I can find Life Cell here because I read that it can reduce dark circles and puffiness around the eyes, and I need that right now. Damn, I really need a job so I can buy me some expensive eye cream!

Why I Have Been MIA*

2009-09-24T23:50:00.005+08:00

Hey all, I have missed my home in the blogosphere so much. If you know me, then you know that I am almost never away from my blog, and the only time I am ever away from my blog is when one of my kids or B get sick. Oh, don't worry, B and the kids are just fine. I have been away from my blog because I have been busy sending out applications for online writing jobs. I have had quite a few responses from employers, and they have been giving me topics to write about, they are still trying to figure out if I can handle the job and if I am qualified, which is why they test me. So yeah, it's mentally tiring, but I so want to be employed. I want to be earning at least $300 consistently every month. I can't wait until the dust settles, can you believe I skipped Music Monday and Random Tuesday Thoughts this week? I never miss doing those memes, oh well, I guess there's a first to everything. Oh well, I can still catch Friday Frustrations tomorrow, although I am so hoping to not be frustrated just yet, I love that meme, but I don't want to feel frustrated just yet. Tee hee

What is up with firefox tonight? It keeps freezing on me! It's driving me insane! Yesterday, when I had some pending test articles to be submitted, my internet went haywire and decided to sleep. I had no internet connection at all! I was so freaked out, I called their customer hotline like 30 times, just begging them to let me be online even for only 30 minutes so I can send out all the stuff that I need to submit, but they weren't able to do it. So, I am so considering leaving my current internet provider and switching to another one. Yes, it is a threat SmartBro, shape up or I say hello to PLDT's DSL.

So, I may be in and out of the blogosphere for a while, at least until I find a job and get back into a routine or something. Please know that I miss you guys all so so so much and I feel so sad that I haven't been able to chat with you through twitter or JS, but I promise, when I get hired, we are going to have a blog party!

You can still catch me on Facebook though, since I usually log on there to unwind a little.

I think I am going to call it a night now, love you all and see you soon!

The Mail Man & I are BFF's now... LOL... ***

2009-09-18T09:43:00.007+08:00

Not one but 2 surprises came in the mail for me today. Both gifts were from a few of my BFF's online. Big hugs and thanks to Mariuca and Shemah!

A gift from Mariuca, from her Tokyo trip

A Mysterious box with a loving message

A cute dolly was inside the box... I love it!! Thanks Mariuca!

And these were gifts from Shemah.

I am loving this key chain, how clever, it says, "Just Outstanding, A Naturally Nice Extrovert"...

I love this Shem!! Now I have a coin purse! Thanks so much!

A cool refrigerator magnet of Sabah...

I love my online buddies so much, I am expecting another surprise from another online BFF of mine, and I am so excited because she is probably the best crafter I have ever known, so I know what she sent me is something awesome! Ooh, I can't wait!

Don't you just love gifts? I know I do!
