Tonight, I'm packing my things...no, I have already packed them but had to re-packed so I could sneak in the stuff that my sis asked me to bring home...talk about "pahabol"....lol. Anyhow, tomorrow, I'm going home to my hometown, which is where the majestic, perfect cone Mayon Volcano is located and will spend my New Year there...It's nice to be going home again, as the holiday festivities is much more fun, extravagant and loud. And there's also my cousin's wedding which I will be attending, so it means reunion for us..Yahoo!!!

Will be away for six days and won't be able to update this site as often as I'd want to so as early as now I'd like to greet everyone...

Have a Blessed New Year!!!!!

Quote.....

"Four be the things I am wiser to know:
Idleness, sorrow, a friend, and a foe.
Four be the things I'd been better without:
Love, curiousity, freckles, and doubt.
Three be the things I shall never attain:
Envy, content, and sufficient champagne.
Three be the things I shall have till I die:
Laughter and hope and a sock in the eye....!"
- Dorothy Parker

Holiday's at Rustan's

The past days, I've been out to the malls again to do some last minute christmas shopping....Thank heaven's I'm done with it...It was a tiring one, what with the long queue at the cashiers and at the gift wrapping section..so after going around and looking for gift items and paying, and while waiting for them to be wrapped, I found some time to take pictures....Sofa's just like the one in front of the christmas tree (partly captured here), are specifically placed in strategic areas around the store for tired shoppers to lounge and relax a bit....... One reason why, I like Rustan's..But on this photo, guess, I'm not that tired yet as I still manage to pose for picture....lol!

Finally able to take a picture on the beautiful crystal trimmings and decorations....

Getting Paid Through Writing

I just signed up for Paying Post, yesterday and got approved within 24 hours. This is a new opportunity for me to be able to earn through writing and the quickest approval I ever got....I read about Paying Post through my former colleague and blog buddy Jhari, and somehow got me to registering here as well. Registration was a breeze, you visit the website - which by the way has a very beautiful lay out, click on the register link, then you register your blog by filling up some forms, click submit and you wait for an email confirmation. Voila! You're done and all ready for some opportunities that you can reserve and write about. It got me excited at the fact that they are very fair in approving your blogs regardless of how long you've hosted it or what entries you write about. Now isn't that cool!

I am relatively new to blog advertising although I have already earned a few on my other blog which I have been managing for a couple of years now. I would not claim I know a lot about it, but based on what I gather so far, blog advertising allows you to write about certain topics or opportunities that is suitable for the kind of blog that you keep. You just have to take note of the task descriptions or instructions, and you're set. The topics that may be assigned to you are based on the preferences that you specified upon registration as well as the payment rate. I'm also looking at the possibility of earning through their affiliates but that would have to be after I see some positive results on this first task...So what are you waiting for, click on the links I've set above, register and get paid through writing....

Going Vente!

I just love going back to this stall called "Vente"...They practically sell a lot of stuff from picture frames, address books to kids toys and accessories, all of these at 20 pesos each item. The past week, I kept coming back to this store to buy some things for my nephews and nieces...I just love the fact that I am able to buy things with a little money to shell out...hahahha..it's a good treat having to get some reasonable prices in today's crisis, when almost all prices are going up.....and still up.....Call that kuripot but I have a better term for it- practical...lol!

Randomness....

Today was a busy one for me....Had to finish a lot of household stuff because tomorrow I may not be able to do it again as I'm planning to go out with my sis -to shop for gifts, eat out probably and buy myself a new phone....Not those fancy phones nowadays, as I don't feel it would be practical purchasing those, in times like these when economy is down..(gosh, is this really me talking...lol!) Ok, so today, I'm glad that I already finished doing my laundry, cleaning the bathroom, and defrosting the fridge....and had a really sumptuous lunch after that..
---------------------
I'm browsing through the net and was quite disappointed with one baker who had a really cool site on multiply, but apparently does not reply to your queries even if she's always online...I was soo looking forward to receiving a response from her because she just happens to have the baking supply I needed, which I would be sending to my Mom. Oh well, I sent her an email again, and I'm hoping she'd reply tomorrow.

Checked out Chico Garcia's blog and had a good laugh on his the best and the rest posts...
---------------------
Was surprised to learn that Edwin, my former colleague in GT uploaded a new photo...Nice to see he is looking good...Sent him a message asking how he is on his "side of the planet"....lol...

Special Performance

This is a video of my super long time crush--were talking about 1994 to present here and still I'm hooked on him..lol...Anyway, he has migrated in California since 1996, but since I have the biggest crush on him, I'm glad that I'm still updated about what has happened to him through the years. Now, he is part of a band, the name I wanna keep private, they are based in Glendale, CA. and have some gigs already. "My Man" is the one playing the white guitar and it's such a treat to see him enjoying himself....and who would have thought that they would do a cover of one of my favorite Neyo songs - Go On Girl....

Can't "Shoot on the Spot"

Was tagged by Jhari on this meme called Shot on the Spot. The instructions were quite simple and tempting too- you just have to take a picture of yourself, the moment you read your tag, no fixing of hair or changing your clothes and no editing... In short just take a picture of the plain, right off your bed look...lol! I regret however, I can't do the meme for this reason - my camera is nowhere in sight...which I remembered, was brought by my sis at some shower party she was going to attend....So there, I guess I can't "shot on the spot"...Next time jhari....hehehehe....
