My Journey in The Blogosphere

Photo Credits: If you Give A Girl A Pen
This is always the thing that describes me: create an account and leave it behind. Oh no, not the messy things! I was referring to creating my first blog platform – Live Journal. It was created as a very personal diary. It is alive but not updated. I just leave it – stagnant. 2nd is the Multiply platform in which I have two accounts; One is a link to online resellers and suppliers while the second one is a personal diary. But then, I decided to delete the second and integrate some of the posts I’ve written there in blogger. So, I can focus only to one personal diary.

Writing in a different blogging platform is my only means to let go all my emotions and unload burdens. I did not think of it as a way to earn; I did not think of it that one day, it’ll help me with the tool in my life.


The new journey began in Manila for the second time: I face it alone and it was all negative, though. Job applications turned negative results, money was draining in my pockets and I end up washing clothes of my boarding housemates to put food right into my tummy. One online friend told me about family’s support because I was desperate to have a job. I didn’t respond but smile sourly. I wish, there was a family support, but there is NONE.

A Blog Collection of Philippines Film, Actors and Actresses, era 1960’s to 1980’s

I stumbled on this blog Video 48 while searching or googling photos of Julie Vega for my post here. In short I become his follower. I don't know about the blogger but all I know that this person is a He. :)

His blog contains a collection of films, photos of circa 60’s, 70’s and 80’s depending on an actor or actress stay in the limelight. Aside from it, he blogs about the life of an actor while in the camera and off the camera. There are also news and headlines. You will read the past events of their lives and what had happened to them.

I'm not a fan, but it fascinates me reading his blog. It's informative and it shows old films and the life of an actor and actresses in the past. What they look like during that year. One example is Annabelle Rama, as a sexy star in 1970’s. 

Annabel Rama



If you want to see more of the stars photos and read about the other actors and actress in the past, you can drop by on his blog, Video 48.

Help! Creating a Badge Exchange Page

Yay, I thought it was easy for me to create a page for a lot of badges that I want to steal. Yea, steal because I don’t intend to tell the owner that I took their badge. I am excited to put their badge in my site. A playful thing for me, err … you’re not going to sue me, are you?

I used Mclinky tool but it seems there are no addition of badges aside from Red. That is why I decided to steal and hide it in one of my pages.

And oh boy, it wasn’t easy as I thought. My techie knowledge is limited and I need another brainer’ for it. *Sigh. Is there someone who can lend a hand on how to do it for free? Thank you very much!

EMO For A Week I

For a week, I log online but I don’t stay long on my blog and didn’t do the routine blog-visits/drops. I do checked my emails everyday, checked my Facebook notifications and replied them. But, most of the time, I watched Naruto’s episodes and played Plants vs. Zombies to pass the time. If I am not facing the computer, I stayed in the room; writing then trashed it and slept. These go on everyday… until I feel better. I am glad my boyfriend understand, though. He asked me what’s wrong? But I never told him.

What really happened?
First things first, I am hiding from morning until 5pm or 6pm. But, no, there’s no police but only a cat. I am like a mouse who hides from a cat, not that she’ll eat me but kicked me out if she happens to know I STAYED HERE. These happened for three days. Instead of going into the kitchen, my bf would bring me food inside the bedroom. I feel like a sick person.

Second, I still feel this emotion of what had happened with my Google Adsense, though. I received an email from adsense about my appeal last Wednesday July 28. It says,

“after thoroughly re-reviewing your account data and taking your feedback into consideration, our specialists have confirmed that we're unable to reinstate your AdSense account.”

Fine! Both, my hands are trembling, I was really angry, though. I only have an idea who the culprit was but I can not pinpoint him or her based on photos. I replied,

“Thank you Google Adsense team. Disabling my account doesn't stop me from blogging. On the other hand, I'm glad it's disabled because no more invalid click activities, anymore. A good experience is worth it for a good lesson. Goodbye!”

Third, a site that’s into micro job have not published the work I’ve done in the tab, “Tasks I’ve Finished”. It happened twice and my mistake, I did not print screen it as a proof. I tried to cancel it because some of my info’s are there.

Last, some ptc sites I am working on has turned into a scam.

All the things that happened, I took it seriously and by heart. I feel as if I am carrying a heavy burden on my shoulders.

It's Laundry on Tuesday!

Photo Credits: INMAGINE
It's time to do my weekly laundry! I didn't have the time as scheduled because I was busy or is it laziness that sinks in? Hush!

After cleaning, I'll have a date with the washing machine. No, I was only dreaming. It's totally a hand-washing-clothes! That's the reason I am lazy to do it. My hands are irritated by the laundry solutions and laundry soaps. It's painful! Sadly, I have to bear the pain until I'm done.

FREE Personalized Twitter Button

Wherever I blog visit, I saw different twitter buttons. So, I decided to browse the net and here I found it! Some buttons are funny and made me smile. These are animated twitter buttons on a site. It is a flash generated code. If you want to see it, click twitter buttons  or the gallery of twitter buttons.


How to install: Flash Buttons. 


Choose the animated button and click Get the Code Resize it! This depends on the width on your side bar.
Enter your twitter ID and click “Apply your Twitter Name To The Code”.
Copy the code and paste it in the notepad. Why NOTEPAD? I saw a link that should not be included in the code. See the photo below:



Yes, you have it paste but DO NOT SAVE IT YET! DELETE the underlined words in color red. If you can hardly read the photo, i'll write it down for you.


[a href="http://www.bingogalaxy.co.uk/" title="http://www.bingogalaxy.co.uk"] http://www.bingogalaxy.co.uk[/a]

DELETE IT. It is a link to a website Bingo Galaxy. If it will not redirect you,  then it might be a pop up. Who knows? It should not be included in the program code.

After deleting the said code, you can now save it. You can check mine on my left side bar.

If you want to try it! Please leave comments and tell me what happened.

Adsense was Disabled

Google Adsense Team has sent me an email last July 19 and unfortunately, I checked it (late) at 2:30 AM Philippine Time on July 22. I guess, I focused more on the other online gigs like the paid-to-click and blog visits. Also, I am not feeling well these past days.

The Reason: It was disabled because of the invalid click activity. But, I received comments from Anonymous persons/profiles here.

I sent an appeal. I admit I had a site that violates polices and that’s Earn Money Online, though. I removed the AdSense ads almost a month ago before this thing happened.

I have only $80 dollars for eight (8) months. Yes, it’s not as big as what you have earned. I was expecting my Adsense revenues before this year ends.

Aside from paid-to-clicks, I depended much on these even if it took me a year to earn $100 pay-out from them. Honestly, I have no other source of income except these online gigs. Sleepless nights; forced me to stay awake until morning.

Look at the date of my posts, it has a gap. Blog update stops on July 15 and starts again on July 21. Whoever that is (do the invalid click activity), mabungkag unta siya!! :D

A Filipino Maid Inherited Millions From Boss

I was about to close my browser when I caught a glimpse of the Australian Yahoo News: Devoted maid inherits millions from a boss.

A devoted Filipina maid has inherited six million Singapore dollars ($A4.53 million) from her late employer after more than 20 years of service, a report says.

"I am the luckiest maid in Singapore, with or without the money," the 47-year-old single woman -- identified only by the pseudonym "Christine" -- told the Straits Times in an interview on Wednesday.

The windfall, including cash and a luxury apartment near the Orchard Road shopping belt, came from the estate of her employer Quek Kai Miew, a medical doctor and philanthropist who died last year at 66. She was very close with her employer. How lucky for an employer to have a maid like her. Also, she was lucky and blessed. Serving 20 years as a maid is no joke. Good luck and God bless to her.

No Internet Connection and Brown-out

Hello every one! I may not be able to log online for a few days. Until when, I don't know yet. We have no internet connection and I have no idea when they will fix it. I decided to use internet from the other shop but sudden brown-outs (black out) makes me think twice.

This is a big hassle especially to those people who doesn't know why I am log on most of the time. They thought I was only playing games on Facebook.

I can not  stay longer.

Until then. See ya when internet and electricity are both fix. God bless to all of you..

A Football Hero Turned To Murder

I was stunned reading this because it’s really horrible! I’ve read this from Yahoo! News yesterday morning.

Bruno Souza was a star goalkeeper and a captain defending club champion Flamengo. He was an idol for a nation who loved football. He was also a married guy. And, he had a previous affair with a woman named Eliza Samudio who had four-month-old baby.


 Eliza Samudio was a student, model and a pornographic film actress in her country. She sought to establish that Bruno is the father of her child. She disappeared and Bruno was the suspect.

He surrendered himself to the police after his 17-year old cousin spill the beans. Her cousin admits that he was helping her abduction. She was tortured and killed. Also, a former police officer, Marcos Aparecido dos Santos had helped him. Samudio’s remains were fed to the Rottweiler dogs by Santos.

Samudio’s baby was found with Bruno’s wife, Dayana Rodrigues. She was detained

Bruno said, “He had a clear conscience”.

My opinion is it’s a barbaric and horrible solution to a problem, he was facing. You have no right to take another person’s life. With just a click of your fingers, every things is gone.

A Tearful Note

Friday Dating Meme: Quick Hide Your Cat

 Welcome to The Dating Profiles Meme

This meme is based on a feature from WTIT: The Blog authored by Bud Weiser. This is a bit different than an "answer this question" meme. Either you have used sites such as Match.com or Yahoo Personals or you’ve read them. Weekly, we scour those on-line dating sites to respond either a person's profile or often their headlines as most of us would really like to do. We use only "lines" that are gender-neutral. So, your mission is to respond to ten we choose each week. Seriously or with humor is your choice! The spelling or grammar errors were in the original profiles.

Join us each and every Friday!

Days of our Lives paid tribute to Francis Reid/Alice Horton this week
(Francis, the actress, died in February, Alice (the character) died last week). She was 91 years old and was protrayed as a smart, witty, funny, loving, always gave the best advice type woman. Wonderful mother, grandmother, friend... many characters (and cast members) commented on how they strive to be the type of woman she was.

Is there someone in your life that you strive to be like?
Yes, that's ME :)

Do you attend parades?
When I was in a teen and those are part of the school activities

No, I don't think less of her because they need it for ingredients. Berleen told me... hehehe

If all the flowers but one kind withered and died, never to grow again, but that one kind of flower would grow worldwide forever, what would you want the surviving flower to be?
Sunflower to give us all the sunshine in all our lives..

Be Aware: Facebook is giving an Apple Iphone

One of my friends has shared a link in my Facebook Profile. But when I saw it, I asked her what it was. As it turned out, she does not know about it. Probably, this is some kind of virus that gets the name in your friend's list and post the link without the user's knowledge.

The link is about an Apple Iphone promotional item. It shows a photo of an Apple Iphone with a link that says Facebook: Apple Iphone Promotional Give-away. I am sorry I forgot to print screen it. I am fond of giveaways, I checked it out. But then, this is what I saw:


It's asking me to log-in, into my Facebook account. But, I am and that's weird. WAIT!! Check out the URL below:



The link shown here is http://error-facebook.com/b1/b1int/ (I remove the link, if you want to see it, just copy and paste into url address).

That is not the URL of Facebook! Whatever page you go clicking and browsing using Facebook, the url always look like this: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php? with a series of alphanumeric characters.


I think this is one of the Phising scams scattered around Facebook. According to Mashable, Facebook Attacks more Phising than Google and IRS. Read it here.

Too Personal: Is This Pride?

You be the judge because I haven’t thought of this word that describes me.

A woman told me today that I have a high pride. Oh, is it? I’ve forgotten about the past pains, hurt and all the bad goodies in the world in which I pushed in one bag and throw it out of my life. It’s all about forgetting and starting a new life ahead.


Until a call came, it was a call from a woman... Old wounds revived and tried to wiggle its way up again.


I was outcast from my brother’s house. Both my father and brother are angry with me. I don’t know where my brother’s anger came from against me. He was very angry that he wants to throw a punch on me but pull it. Also, my father was angry against me because of the other woman. I defend my mother who is bedridden against my father. I defend that illiterate teen that doesn’t finish elementary education against my father. I understand her illiteracy and teach her in a way that she understands. But father was perfectionist! I tried to explain and reach my brother’s understanding. But some of the words I uttered were reiterated against me. I keep my mouth shut because I know; I can do nothing to change it. It is my youngest brother’s word against mine.


If he hears those hearsays, let that person come forward and let’s talk, like a tête-à-tête. We are civilized and educated; we’re not a child anymore. But, no foot came forward. It was like everyone was angry and I am a black dog. It chocked me. I decided to go back to Manila even if it was a gamble. I doubt if I can work again.


To make it short, I didn’t find a job while staying in one of the boarding house in Pasay. I feel desperate and very depressed until I decided to move out of that place. It was an accessible place in looking for work. But it is also making a big hole in my pocket; drained my savings.


Moving out was the biggest decision I made. Acceptance is a value that I learned; I can not have a company job anymore. Aside from my age (out of the calendar), my English is not perfect for an international call center company. Sometimes, I stammered and I have difficulty pronouncing the TH and F sounds.


The pain is gone but the scars are left. The painful situations had taught me a lesson. My mind is at peace. I had forgotten all about it until that call. A woman’s call telling me what had happened with my brother’s life and father’s vices. I told her, I can’t do anything about it. My brother has money; he has the power against me who has nothing. All I can do is pray and offer it to Him. She ended the call by asking me to warn my father against those vices. She added something that distressed me, again. Sorry, I can not tell you what it was. If it's true, he's the son and I believe in Karma. Whatever father had done, he was still the father and old now. If it is not, God I know you hear it! Sadly, I can not do anything about it.


Am I too proud? Is it pride?

A Commemorative Coin

Are you an enthusiast of collecting coins? This is also known as a King’s Hobby. The motivations of collecting coins is varied, some hobbyist collect it for fun and enthusiasm. The other reason is investment; depending on the value of the coin. It is like a land, as the years go by the value of the land will go up.

I have this commemorative coin. This coin had passed a lot of hands. What I mean is this: It was given to my Aunt from her former Korean mother-in-law as token. I guess she was grateful and happy to have her as her daughter-in-law. After that, my aunt gave it to my father who in turn gives it to my mother for keepsake.

We are always moving on different locations; mother decided to give it to me for safekeeping. I have no knowledge of the coins worth but the personal value of this coin is very important to me.




 Sorry, it's blurred, I am only using my cellphone camera.

This is a commemorative coin when the Olympic was held in Seoul, Korea in 1988. Here’s the information from the coin.
XXIV Olympiad Seoul 1988
10000 Won

Blog for A Cause (Help for a Baby with Hernia)

I have not experienced being pregnant or have a child at this age. It was only my bulging tummy. Sadly, I can’t do anything financially to help them except by re-posting:


That’s Baby Belle 8months old. Oh, I grabbed this photo from Pehpots Make or Break blog. Of course, I grabbed the photo without their knowledge. I hope I won’t be jailed from doing that. I am only kidding, sorry I didn’t ask permission guys.

This baby is suffering from Hernia. (Quoted from Red’s post):
“A HERNIA is the protrusion of an organ through the wall of the cavity that normally contains it. When a hernia is not repaired, it may become strangulated. When strangulation occurs, there is a danger that part of the intestine be caught in the hernia cutting off blood supply to the tissue. Also, when a bowel obstruction occurs, it leads to severe pain, vomiting, nausea and inability to have a bowel movement or pass gas.”
In order to raise funds for Bella’s operation, a blogger will purchase a blog review from her that costs $10. No need to worry because hers is a Page Rank 3 blog. The review consists of 150 words with 2 links (home page link) and an image of the header or screen shot of the blog to be reviewed. One link with the blog title as the anchor text and the other link are on the image. 

If you want to purchase a blog review, send an email to Ms Ruby [pehcats@gmail.com]. That includes the url of the blog for review. A reply from Ms Ruby consists of url of the post and paypal.

If you want to know more about the baby, just click -for the baby's fund donor > Bella Grace: Fund Donors page. 

If you had extra money to help and donate, please send her an email! Thank you.

Father's Day

As I made my walked around the Blogosphere, I always read about Father’s day.

I would like to share this to you because I know it is not only me who has encountered this kind of life’s happenings.

Father had done mistakes with our family. It involves another woman – another mistress! Eventually, our feelings towards him have changed especially me. I will come near his path and would turn away from him. Feeling is gone of a daughter towards his father.

Of course, mother had done everything to win him back; to make him stay back in the house. We do not know the real reason. Is it my mother’s love towards our father? Or is it because of us his grown-up children.
But then, it was changed! He had a heart attack and high blood pressure! We are only two siblings! I am the only one living here in the Philippines while the other is out of the country. It happened for a reason, I think. I came back as his daughter and watched him in the hospital.

Father's Day Comments from Dolliecrave.com God has its own way! Whatever had happened, we can not change it! The blood that's within us! Bygones be bygones!

He will always be our DADDY, my PAPA!

The Artist In Me

I love to cut even if I can’t do it straight! Yes, I can not cut it straight. Sometimes, I asked someone else to do it for me or I have to do it with a grunt. I have few materials for a scrapbook but it’s always set aside and kept in a box. 

I miss the time when I've worked in an Internet Cafe wherein we accept graduation pamphlets, school certificates, wedding invitations and any cards. I do all the design with the use of  Print Artist (clip art) and Microsoft Word only for the encoding and word art.

Someone told me to self-study Photoshop online but I find it hard to understand. I am slow to learn new things. That is why I prefer to hear it first from a teacher who will guide me the basics then I will do it online for further information. That is how my slow pace goes.

A nurse asked me to help her with the encoding and signage's/slogan: It was like my ears are flapping with excitement! I feel happy and glad she asked me! I browse the net for photos and change the font style of the old one. Of course, the statement is the same but it will be different when it comes to design. It is done in black and white because we have an ink problem with Mr. Printer.

I forgot the term, but I add the "look-like-a-stick-man" for fun
sitting in the "not" word. It catches the eye and will make them laugh


 That's in Filipino language. It says, "What I need is the THE MILK 
FROM MOMMY to stay Healthy, Smart and Alert."


What do you think mommies and babies? Do you agree?

Adgitize: Traffic Rating & Adgi-score

 Yeheyyy!! Do you mind if I jump up and down? Oh the earth won’t shake with my jumping! Don’t worry about that. I was very happy to see traffic rating & adgi-score after a day! Take a look! Only for A DAY!

I’ve been checking my traffic rating and adgi-score in Adgitize website! The result is N/A and they can’t find the blog. The reason I know is that I did not visit 100 websites a day! A friend Marose a.k.a. Red checked my site and told me there’s she did not see an adgitize banner! I wonder how come she didn’t see it. I had one banner in my personal blog, though! I notice in other blogs there’s the word “Adgitize Me” with two columns of different badges. Now, I know! Oh my wrong thought beats me! I thought that those 2 columns with it six badges are only for those adgitzers who pays $14. I was wrong! After adding my blog, I did not click the GET CODE tab. So, I went back and hurriedly get code and add it in my page.

Fortunately, a website has a banner that says “Adgitizing Made Easy – 100 Points”. Without second thought, I click it divert me to Pehpot’s Make or Break with a post for Adgitizing Made Easy! They have created an adgitize tool to make it easier for us to click 100 sites a day! Visit them here.

All you have to do is copy the code and paste it (add html) in your blog’s lay-out.

Saturday: A Very Tiring Day

I was real, really tired! Ten o’clock was an early hour for me to log on the computer and do the marathon! It was like a marathon because I opened seven (8) windows and each window has five (5) tabs. Partly, I haven’t organized and list the what-to-do-first online.

Let me summarize it: 
  1. I open three pic (paid-to-click) sites. This was easy because you can leave a window after another window. Then, go back and check each window for 1 minute or 2 minutes. 
  2. The 4th window is the Readbud.com wherein, you will read articles and rate it. 
  3. 5th Window was mybloglog.com website. In this site, for every message who gave me a favor, I visit their blog and kissed their ads. After the kiss, I will send them a message – favor done! 
  4. 6th window is my blog dashboard. I tried changing my blog template in one of my sites to the new designs of blogspot. As a result, my widgets went somersault. Good thing, I download the old template and returned to its old state! 
  5. The 7th window is my Facebook, but I kept on refreshing it for available gifts and new messages. 
  6. 8th window is the adgitize.com – I told myself that I will give my best to have a 100 points. And so I did.
I stopped for meals and then went back to a computer! I’ve ended at 8 pm! I feel very tired and exhausted! I left the computer and took a nap in the bed for how many minutes, I don’t know! I took a bath because I taste salt, already! Then, I went back to the computer and log on to Blog Catalog when my boyfriend asked me for dinner time. Well, that’s refreshing because I made two posts! Yeheyyy!
