It took me some days to pick my favorite post from the 400  plus posts (actually 438 at the time when the Week 5 contest started)  of the blogger, Orman.  As part of his blogsary contest, a participant has to post what is his or her favorite post in the ever kagandahan na blog called GandaEverSoMuch.com site.

I really think that this blog is one of the most influential blog in the face of the earth. Why? Because as i’ve said in my previous contest entry, his readers (isa na ako dun) kept coming back for more of his posts.

From his long list of categories, two are my faves and that is the Tips Ever and Love Ever. Those were the first categories I read after i was tagged of the Week 5 Contest in Facebook.   Bakit Tips Ever?  Because Orman’s tips ever posts are most of the posts i come and read even before his weekly contest started.   Another reason is, his tips are very practical for every day living.  Bakit love?  Because his lovelife is very colorful and everyone can relate lalo na ako.  Iba talaga ang babae ma inlove and Orman is so great at that.

So, let’s come to the main point ~~~ What’s my favorite post of all the posts?  I had 3 to choose from and took me a hard time to pick the best.  I felt that all 3  were nice but after many hours of thinking, I decided that this gonna be my favorite post.  Drum roll pleaseeeeeeeeeee tang ta dang…

At ang paborito ko na post ay ~~~

SAMPUNG DAPAT GAWIN PAG KAKA-BREAK MO LANG NG SYOTA MO

Bakit iyan? Dahil ang mga tips nya dyan ay para sa lahat. Ma babae ka or ma lalaki pag kaka-break mo lang sa syota mo pwede mo yan gawin.

This particular post made me smile the first time i read it. Why? Because they are so practical, can easily be done, yet never ever in my life i have done it kahit gaano kasakit. I have healed of past painful lost loves but i mused to myself  now bakit hindi ko ginawa ang mga tips na ito? Imagine i still have notes, letters, memorablias in a scrapbook of all my past relationships? Sounds tangingot but ganun lang siguro ako. So nag comment ako sa post na ito na maybe in the future, when i love the next time around and lost it afterwards, i might do these tips.

All the 10 tips are favorite but the best advice ever are the following:

Magpakitang-tao ka! Show to the world na carry mo ang pagiging single uli.  Ano ka, affected?  Esmyuski lang.  Rampa ka to the max.  Go ka sa mga gimik left and right.  Saka ka na lang umiyak-iyak pagkauwi mo at pag nasa loob ka na ng kwarto mo.  Don’t forget the tissue.

Hndi ko ito magawa dati kasi feeling ko dapat pa ako magpaalam kahit hiwalay na. Haii lokaloka talaga ako.

Palitan mo na ang pictures ng ex mo sa naka-display na picture frames. Start with a clean slate.  Kung di mo kayang punitin, sige, itago mo muna.  Pag nalulungkot ka, utang na loob, wag mo nang titingnan ang mga pictures nyo together.  Palitan mo na ng pictures nina Ninoy at Cory Aquino.  At least hindi ka talaga nag-iisa nyan.

(let me add: alisin mo rin picture nya sa wallet mo!)

Buy something for yourself.  Buy something expensive. Take note, dahil sa ex mong yan, andaming naunsyaming things-to-buy ang buhay mo.  Now is the time.  Keber nang mahal basta para sa sarili mo dapat at wag mo na syang bilhan ng para sa kanya, gagah!

(this advice is really a great hit for me coz when i am inlove during my younger years, lahat makita ko sa mall or saan saan ay nice things for my guy. nothing for me. lol!)

Magbakasyon ka. Pero please lang wag kang pumunta sa mga lugar na pinuntahan nyo ng ex mo.  Iwasan ang mga lugar na pwede kang tumalon at magpasagasa.  Wag kang over-acting dyan.  Get a real vacation.   Isama mo ang pamilya mo.

(i think this is really going to be a great treat to oneself.)

So ayan, alam nyo na kung bakit ko fave ang post na ito.  Makakrelate din ako ano?  Am sure lahat kayo dyan ay na inlove din at some point in your life, you have grieved, did foolish things in the name of a lost love, and also moved on.  Kaya from now on, if you need some thoughts to perk your gloomy day dahil ka break mo lang, or ala kang pera at ala kang magawa, o gusto mo pumasyal ng General Santos, o gusto mo lang talaga maki osyoso sa buhay ng mga magaganda then don’t forget to visit GandaEverSoMuch.com ~~ and surely you will say life is too short to be grumpy, angry, and sad.  There are lots of things even the simplest things in this world that will you smile or make your heart feel lighter.

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.

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.
