You Are Pie

You are sweet, but there’s more to the story than that. You’re quite complicated.
Sometimes people don’t appreciate you as much as they should. You are really quite special.

You are deep, thoughtful, and get better with time. You are subtle but powerful.
You are very traditional, and that’s a good thing. You remind people of simpler and happier times.

So…another blog will be up soon!

I remember one night when Mommy Ruby told me via YM that she is giving away domains to the top 3 commentor of  a certain post in The Domain Angel.  I then checked out right away and left a comment.  I was really thinking i’ll miss the spot but luckily i got the third domain.  I was so happy. :)

I already have 4 active blogs that includes that one that I have for my daughter which I started in January early this year.  But of the 4, only 3 are being updated at least several times in a week.  Aside from the 4 blogs, i have 2 others blogs that still exist but has not been updated in a long time – my first blog and my scrap blog.  But inspite of that neglect, i still want want to have a fashion related blog.  Although am not a certified fashionista but i knew that I have an eye for beautiful clothes, footwears and accessories.   So i named the new domain fashionistainme.info. My first choice of domain name was fashiontrip but it was no longer available.

In a day or two, www.fashionistainme.info (fashionista in me) will be up in the blog world.

Now this is not easy.  This is going to be a hard task but i will try my best to finish it.  Winner or not at least I have to say my piece.  A person will really do everything just so he or she can bag a prize.  As i’ve said manalo man o hindi – here’s what i can say of Orman’s blog.

Thinking on about how i know  GandaEverSoMuch brought me back to MBS3 even in Cagayan de Oro last year.  That was my first time to see Orman, the ganda ever kapatid of Avel whom i met for the first time in General Santos City during the MBS2.  We were not introduced personally but being in a bloggers crowed one can somehow felt being connected due to the fact that you share something in common with everyone – and that is blogging.  That was the first time i heard of Orman’s blog.

Ganda Ever So Much!

There are millions of blogs in the blogosphere and to each his own. But Orman’s blog is a very unique one. There’s something in it that makes one keeps coming back. His writing style can draw a crowd to a post. If you check out his blog, the first thing that will greet you is a smiling frog. Yes, a smiling frog that made me wonder – why frog? Bakit baki? Dahil ba ang baki ay komokokak? Kokak! So i presume that Orman’s blog is a journal of his thoughts based on his everyday life – be his day sunny, rainy, stormy, gloomy, wintry, etc. he will write about it. He shares what makes his day sunny and what makes his day gloomy or rainy. This kind of sharing enables his readers to connect with him easily.

I can state many reasons why i keep coming back to Gandaeversomuch {dot} com site, but i will only share the important ones:

1.  Maki chika!  Not really but am drawn to Orman’s writing style.  His post brings a smile to my face.  His posts are full of life.

2.  I can relate to his heartbreak posts that i can save some of those tips so that in the future if ever i fall in love again, i got some notes to glance on in case the journey turns bumpy.

3.  His ever bongga Blogsary contest!  Because he is giving away fabulous prizes I decided to join.  Being one of the lucky winners in the 1st and 2nd week, I am now craving for more.

In order to get a a third cupful serving of his giveaways – I am now posting this entry in my blog and submit my link to one of the most popular blogs in the world – Ganda Ever So Much!

Mabuhay ka Orman!

Mabuhay din ang iyong blog.

I wish you another year of a very colorful blogging life.  May you continue to inspire others through your writing.

I won in another contest.  I cannot remember when was the last time i won a blog contest but last week i posted here my entry for the Week 1 Blogsary Contest at Ganda Ever So Much blog and luckily i was one of the winners!  When one hears the word winner for sure it makes one excited!  No matter how big or small the prize is — being a winner gives one a happy feeling.  :)

I was so happy.

Now Week2 Contest is up and it will be the LUCKY COMMENTER method.  I am given 3 chances to comment and i hope that one of those comments will happen to be in a winner’s slot.  Again the prizes are soooo fabulous that am hoping too that I will be one of the winners.  :)   YOu can check out here on who will be those lucky commenters and its corresponding prize.

While i was browsing for the latest quick weight loss tea, i come across this personality quiz. My friend tasked me to check out the safest weight loss tea because she is going to be the matron of honor at her best friend’s wedding. She’s going to wear a gown and she wanna look gorgeous.  I gave her the option to take a tea or a weight loss pill.  And the brave girl that she is, she is not scared to try into these pills.

Going back to the quiz – below is the the result. The quiz is called WHAT’S THE HIDDEN MEANING OF YOUR NAME.  You just need to key in your name and presto, the result is out.  This is the result to my name -

You are usually the best at everything … you strive for perfection.
You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive.
You have the classic “Type A” personality.

You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You’re always up to something.
You have a ton of energy, and most people can’t handle you. You’re very intense.
You definitely are a handful, and you’re likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun.

You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow.
You are light hearted and accepting. You don’t get worked up easily.
Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is.

You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone.
You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together.
At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together.

You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people.
You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts.
You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals.

Nice one! Some were almost true but others were sort of unusual. hehehe.

The MBS 3 organizers, no other than the CDO Bloggers launches a blog contest.  One has to blog about their experience during the summit held couple of weeks ago in Cagayan de Oro City.  I got the info through my email and just forgot about it.  Good thing i cleaned up my mailbox and come across the email again.  I still have second thoughts of joining because i don’t write well. But after awhile, i decided to join and here’s my entry -

MY MBS 3 EXPERIENCE

The deadline for entry submission will be on the 6th and from the qualified entries, the winner will be chosen through random (dot) org.

Your Ex is Getting Over You

It seems like you are getting mixed messages from your ex, and that can be confusing.
You ex may still be into you but reluctant to rekindle that flame.Or maybe your ex isn’t sure if you’re the one anymore. There seems to be some doubt.
Either way, it’s time to give your ex some space. Just don’t write your ex off completely.

And i really don’t care! Maybe one day i wish that we will bump into each other and have a talk. And hopefully by that time, i have already moved on. :)   And this is ex # 1, # 2, # 3, # 4 and the list can go on. :D

Am surprised!  Being a top commentator for the month of April made me win a token of a fashion bracelet from Yen.  You may read her post here.  It was Mommy E (thanks to her too) who first informed me because i was not logged in my blog or i could have read Yen’s comment first.  I wlll make another separate post of this again soon when the bracelet arrives. :)

Btw, it’s Yen’s and her hubby’s 8th wedding anniversary.  Congratulations to them and i wish them another ten fold 8 years in their marriage life. In relation to that, Yen launch a very easy to join contest which is open to everyone.

To win a prize,  here are Yen’s guidelines:

+ Just comment in any of my post from April 25 to May 31 posts. Make sure you don`t make spam comments because I will be very sad with that..LOL And I have a right to erase them if they aren`t related to the post.

+ Be the Top 15 commentators and you will have a chance to win something! I will use a Randomizer to pick for the Top 3 winners! So, you don`t have to be Top 1 or 2 or 3 in the commentator as long as you belong in Top 15, you will have a chance to win something since I will use a randomizer!

The prizes? Here.

I will definitely join!

Come one and all let’s join the fun!

My post’s title is the theme of the writing competition that is on going  now at Lainy’s blog to mark her blogging anniversary.

Now all i have to do to be able to qualify to this hot blogsary celebration is – i have to write about my blogging journey.  I had the whole day to think of how should i start or where should is start.  So, let me start.

I started blogging, actually journaling online in September 14, 2006 in my friendster account.  I got interested to start that because i’ve already been reading many other blogs, especially of Mitch, but i can’t bring myself to start one, not until someone urged me to do so when he read my posts in my friendster account.   With the encouragement, of Rhoen, amd with the inspiration of Mitch, i started making a blog for Dimple which i later deleted because i integrated my posts with my main personal blog.  I would say personal because it is a free wp hosted blog and money making is not allowed there.   Earning is not my aim when i first started blogging.  I find my blog as an outlet of what i think on anything and what i would like to share.  With my first personal blog, i began to blog hop through Mitches visitors and that was almost the time too i joined a Filipina mommy community

From that point of blogging, i then started my photoblog in May 2007.  I was getting the hang of blogging and am enjoying it very much.  I then started to meet bloggers  who earn while blogging.  I then thought maybe i should try.  I did not wish to earn much money, i just want to prove that is it really true to earn dollars by blogging – so my blogspot blog was born.  In 4 months time, i already got 4 blogs to maintain.  Meaning, i got hooked! lol!

It is almost 2 years now that i have been blogging, and i can say i enjoyed every minute of it.  Talking of perks i got in blogging aside from oppsss – there are lots but i would just like to mention some major ones as they help me spice up my blogging life.

1.  I met a lot of online friendship that continue even offline.  Special and huge thanks to Kerslyn for helping me me realized my first personal domain and later free hosted another personal domain for me.

2.  Another huge thanks to Mommy Ruby for being an angel by making my freehosted blogspot blog into a domain one.  And then later she offered very affordable hosting so she enabled me to wp hosted my blogspot blog.

3.  I feel i have developed blogger friendship throughout these years and they are many to mention yet i have them each one in my mind and heart – they inspired me to continue blogging as i got ideas on what to blog about, they let me learn blogging etiquettes (if there are some) lol and they help my blogs in one way or another get famous in the blogosphere. (yeah am famous) lol!

4.  Mitch played a big role in my blogging life.  I dunno if she believes me when i say that but really through her personal blog, i was inspired to start my own.  She introduced me to Pinoy Moms Network where i met a lot of great moms and also to Paraiso Philippines where i won my first $50.00 cold cash by just posting endlessly (non-stop) for 8 long hours.

5.  Through blogging, i got active in the forum site of  Paraiso Philippines, a travel information site, that made me able to attend the 2nd Mindanao Blogger Summit in General Santos City in October last year by sponsoring all my expenses.  That event made me met the author of this competition in personal.  Actually i only met her there and we talked a lot during the night of the Tuna Cocktail party.  That time she informed me of her on going contest of which i become one of the winners later.

6.  Rhoen, another longtime friend, is the one who gave me the strong push to start blogging.   Or else i won’t be blessed by what i enumerated above.

Now, let me congratulate the active blogger girl in the person of Lainy.  I wish her more success in blogging and real life.  Personally i also have to thank blogging or else i will never have the chance to take these photos with her:
