Morality and Hypocrisy

Mobbing behaviorImage via WikipediaWikepedia: Morality is (from the latin word moralitas "manner, character, proper behavior".) the learning process of distinguishing virtues and vices.

Encyclopedia of Philosophy:
The term morality can be used either
  1. descriptively to refer to a code of conduct put forward by a society or, some other group, such as religion or accepted by an individual for her own behavior.
  2. normatively to refer to a code of conduct that, given specified conditions, would be put forward by all rational persons.
Why am I talking about this? My dear readers and bloggers, it is about several topics I have seen from different sites. Started by a blog written up by a man from England that has been demeaning to me and my fellow Filipinos. If you would like to read more about this please visit Was there a scam-part 2 and Was there a scam - The motive written by Reyna Elena.




My take on this issue he is a married man who was looking to unleash his perverted desires instead of going to a corner in England, he bought a plane ticket and went to a country far away from his comfort zone. Ignorance, stupidity? I really don't know. If he is a smart man, you would think he would have studied the culture of the people in this country and know more about the person he met online before fleeing his country. It is obvious he knows how to use the computer and should have used that knowledge prior to making such irrational decisions. Morality? Hypocrisy? I am begging you to please tell me.


Before I proceed, I am throwing stones here aiming towards nothing. For some reason you felt the stone is towards you, I do apologize in advance. This is simply my opinion and my blog so I can say whatever is in my mind.
As humans, we are prone to make mistakes. I am positive that all of you know that NOBODY and NO ONE is perfect. And yet, armed with this fact, we are easy to judge others. Is it because of our different backgrounds, religious belief or plain and simple narrow mindedness? Regardless of your answer, instead of your bigoted ways why not let the smarter part of you prevail.

Morals in my belief is a basis on how one should live their lives, so we can learn how to co-exist in harmony in this small world of ours. Before pointing your finger to the person next to you, make sure you look at yourself. Study yourself from the tip of your toes to the end of every strands of your hair, then come back and accuse someone of immorality. Hypocrisy will not help you sleep soundly because you are only fooling yourself and no one else.

So if you look at Reyna Elena, don't be judgmental if he prefers married men.

Don't accuse all the priest as child molesters because of the doing of a few.

don't judge those who do not believe in Monogamy *** open relationship is not for everyone ***

Don't judge me because I am Pink and Biik (piglet)

don't judge all the desperate searchers for love and found them on the internet. (THATS ME)

but you can point your fingers to Bush for the recession and gas hike.

Out with the Queen of Vaklingham

Yeah Yeah YeahsImage via WikipediaTomorrow is my first day in my new job and really looking forward to it. It has been exactly 26 days that I have been out of work. One would think that my blog would be flooded (was corrected by the queen)with new and interesting entries. Yeah yeah yeah, I know I am off topic right now but I have 2 hours before my bedtime so I will take my time and narrate how my boring and dull 26 days were spent.

During the first week, I walked the city of Philadelphia meeting with several headhunter. They found my resume on Monster.com and Career Builder. The funny thing is none of those head hunters was able to get me anywhere. The company who has found me a job and gotten me interviews are the one who met with me at my convenience and close to my home.

Now I can refer to those past few days as my VACATION time! As what my Cyclopse would say, "It is VACATION indeed!". What have I been busy with these past few weeks other than looking for a new job?

Since I am a mother, I wake up every morning to take my son to school. He could really walk but I would rather take him to school and he prefers it that way. After dropping him off, I would go straight to the bagel store called Victoria's Bagel buy me a coffee and bagel. Then proceed to Matil-DUH's place and hang for a bit. Then go home where I cleaned, vacuum and cooked .... Oh let us not forget SHOPPING! Yes, I did go shopping. I went bought a new shoes, a couple of pants and shirt, courtesy of The Cyclopes! In addition, I did spend a day at a spa because I was stressed out for not having a job.

Out of the three weeks I only went out once and it was with the ever famous Reyna Elena. He took me to his Babuyan Island called "Bump". Would you like to see photos? Hmmmm... let me think about it! Convince me, please. My blog is in severe need of TRAFFIC.

I really

Pink Biiks Tribute to Earth Day Part 3

Continuation....

This is the last part of my Tribute to Earth Day. I have taken all of the information from the documentary Last Days on Earth, Wikipedia and NASA information. Let us do a little recap:



7. Gamma Ray Burst and Black Hole
6. Intelligent Machines
5. Super Volcano's

The next most feasible thing Earth may face would be the list below:

4. Asteroids also called minor planets or planetoids. There are hundreds of thousands asteroids orbiting our solar system. It's collision to a planet has proven to be catastrophic. Asteroid collision to earth causes the Dinosaurs extinction which enable our evolution. Since this is one of the most feasible catastrophy our planet could face in the near future, scientist has been trying to find ways to divert asteroids path to prevent it from colliding to our beautiful planet. NASA has been observing one asteroid that will be orbiting between our satellites and the planet earth in April 13, 2029. Because this comet orbit is getting closer and closer, scientist has been working on solutions to assist in changing an asteroids orbit to avoid colliding to our beautiful planet.

3. Nuclear War - We are our own worst enemy. The creation of nuclear weapons is an amazing achievement but carried tremendous danger. Russians and the US still have thousands of weapons which is enough to destroy both countries and the world. According to Kennette Benedict, the number of weapons we have is equivalent of 80,000 Hiroshima Bombs. The bomb on Hiroshima killed 100,000 people. The amount of bombs we have could kill 8billion people and there's only 6billion people on the planet. SCARY right!? They really elaborate more but I think you should look into it. I don't want to be misquoted. But they have mentioned that 20 missiles could transform the planet.

2. Deadly Virus! Incurable infections disease like a deadly flu. Look back 90 years, we had the greatest pandemics ever to hit homo sapiens perhaps wipping out 40million people which is more than the death on World War I. This global tragedy was caused by a flu caught by less than 3% of the people who caught it. Pandemics are like earthquake, tsunamis and hurricanes they occur. There have been 10 of them in the last 300 years. Yikes!!!!

1. GLOBAL WARMING! This is happening now. The amount of CO2 being released on a daily basis is 70,000,000 tons. The effect of too much CO2 on our atmosphere causes our temperature to go up. It has been said that EARTH is more in danger in our hands than in other naturla Disaster.

There you go.

Pink Biik's Tribute to Earth Day Part 2

My Tribute to Earth Day should have been in one entry but the post would have been too long. Once a blogger or a visitor sees a length entry they simply skip and move one. Which intern made me cut my Pink Biik's Tribute to Earth in separate entries. Allow me to proceed discussing about the harms our beautiful planet may face in the future.

Recap, on my yesterday's post My Earth Day Tribute, I have shared with you about the least inevitable thing to happen in the near future which is the death of a star from 8000 light years, with an illustration of its effect to our earth and the development of a black hole after its massive explosion and collapse. Let me now share with you a couple more things they have tackled on this documentary.

6. Intelligent Machines! Yes my fellow bloggers and readers. It is possible that I, Robot could take over our civilization. Some may treat this as a joke but this is feasible to happen. On the show they have asked to look back 60 years ago. During the World War II they were using huge transistors, which could be equal to the capabilities of your PDA now a days that you can slid in your pocket. Then look back 10 years ago and look at our current techologies and see how much our technologies have evolve. With this facts, who is to say that computers are unlikely to take over human race. If they keep evolving, Computers will be trillion times smarter than us... hmmmm.... My dear acer sorry for calling you retarded on my previous blog. Please tell your future generation to not kill me... he he he he he


5. SUPER VOLCANO. Does anyone know how many super volcano is out in this earth? Geologist thinks that there are at least 40 super volcano in our planet earth. So how will this affect our civilization. Yes, it is another way to end our existence. For the Filipinos who was in the Philippines when Mount Pinatubo exploded, do you remember how it shake the entire Philippine nation? When a super volcano errupts it would make the Mount Pinatubo, Krakatoa and Mount St. Helens eruption a dwarf like. Just like a Gamma Ray Burst, there is now way we can escape this situations. The result of a super volcano eruption would be devastation of world agriculture, severe disruption of food supplies and mass starvation. (Good way to lose weight I guess) In addition, is a mile high tidal wave that could wash off California's population and 9.0 earthquake. How glad am I that i no longer live there?! The volcano erupted approximately every 600,000 years and it is 644,000 years since it last erupted.

My Earth Day Tribute.

I haven't really seen any documentaries on History, Science and Discovery Channel. Monday night, as we were looking through the guide Italiano saw a documentary on History Channel called Last Days on Earth.

This documentary is about seven catastrophic scenarios that earth may encounter and end humans existence. The possibilities of these events was discussed from least likely and to the most possible to happen. Who says you can't learn from watching TV right. The thing I like the most about documentaries would be the illustration and the graphics they have amazingly put together. Not only do you learn but you get to visualize such events.



7. Gamma Ray Burst is one of the catastrophy Earth may face. It is hardly unlikely to happen in the nearest future but the possibility is there. For those who are not aware, a Gamma Ray Burst are short lived bursts of gamma ray photons. the most energetic form of light. These burst lasts from a few milliseconds to several minutes. It shine hundred of times brighter than a typical supernova and about a million trillion times as bright as a the sun, making them briefly the brightest source of cosmic gamma ray photons in the observable universe. (If I sound smart this explanation is taken from NASA Imagine the Universe site. ) It was said that the energy a GRB puts out is more than the whole universe use in the same period of time. Gamma ray burst happens upon a death of a star.

The example used on this documentary is a death of a star that is 8000 light years away. If this occurs during day time, we will be able to witness it and see two suns in the sky. Fun?! Definitely NOT! It would be a horrendous. The gamma ray burst will destroy our ozone layer that protects us from the ultraviolet radiation from the sun. Even if you are hiding in the comfort of your basement, you will suffer from sun burnt. Not only that my fellow bloggers and readers, Molecules will start decomposing and our bodies will stop reproducing new cells and eventually we will be extinct. Yikes!!!!

If for some miraculous way and you survive this, the next thing you will have to worry about would be the development of the black hole. According to several theorists, the black hole is formed after a massive star exploded and collapse. Black holes poses strongest gravity that light can not escape. You might have sometime before the Earth is engulfed by the black hole but there is no way you would be able to escape it.

Amazing Huh! Well I will be saving the rest for tomorrow. I may be late for Earth Day but I will be an EARTH WEEK here in Miss PinkBiik Island.

Intermission 1

Sorry that I haven't done any blog this past few days, I was busy with job interviews, home and some chores. It never occurred to me that there are so much work that needed to be done in the house! Oh my goodness!

I have 2 blogs that I am currently working on but haven't had the time to finish them. It would have been really easy for me if its something about my personal experience but it is not. The topic of the blog is about our Earth and the danger it faces. Most of you who are interested in this topic might have seen it or read it but I still want to write it on my blog.

Oh, before I forget let me tell you about an experience I had with one of my interview with a head hunter. I will need you guys to comment on this, please make sure to write your most honest and sincere opinion.



After filling out the application, I waited for one of the Senior Recruiter of this company for the interview. He came in and apologized that his manager would not be able to sit with me due to an urgent meeting he needed to attend. It was really not a big deal on my part so he proceeded. This is not the first recruiter I have met with and they all have different ways conducting their interview process. In this particular one, I was asked if I have a specific company and a dream job. In my stupid head, my answer would have been to work for the White House. But of course I did not spur that out. I asked if that question is necessary because I really have never thought of it. He said that it is essential to know because they could use this as a basis on what type of industry I would be most suited for in relation to my job experience. Hypothetically, if I have said I would love to work for an aircraft company that means they will not market me to any other companies which intern would leave me with a very few chance of landing a job. I told him this and he suggested that I should be SELECTIVE of the companies I applied for or consider so I don't jump from one job to the other. In response to his suggestion, I believe I have explained my reasons for leaving the jobs I have had in the past which was not the due to my feelings toward these companies for but due to personal circumstances.

Now, I need your responses. I am aware that it was a suggestion but is it responsible? If you are in a situation as I am, single mother who is paying mortgage and day care. Will you as a recruiter give an applicant such advice or suggestion?

Logo Contest Update

The other day Earth brought it to my attention that my site was having problems. For some reason, the comment field and half of the page got corrupted The fix would have been really easy if the template I saved on my hard drive was not wiped out when I rebooted my laptop.

Due to this mishap, I have no other choice but to restart my logo contest and I do apologize to everyone who have voted already. Gabriel had the most votes and it would still be honored. The only restriction is you can only pick one logo per day. In addition, I have added an addtional $


It is not a lot but I have increase the price $30.00. It would have been more but unfortunately my piggness is still in search of a job.

Thanks everyone and WELCOME to the New Miss PinkBiik Island!

When everything goes down south

Unlike the other day, I woke up with enthusiasm and a nice outlook for my day today. Before I proceed, you have no other choice but to join me recollecting the events that happened yesterday. After dropping off precious at his school, I drove to Philly to meet with another headhunter. Part of my normal routine is to harass Matil-DUH early in the morning and ask her for directions. I decided to take the mob car this time since I was planning on going to Kelly Drive to take some photos. It was quick meeting and the same questions was asked and same responses was provided. As I stepped out of the building, I decided to drive home instead of heading to Kelly Drive.

As soon as I got home, I turned my retarded new laptop on. You will find out later why it is retarded. Of course the day would not be complete, without lunch. I really did not feel like cooking so I opened a can of Laing (in english i really have no clue). I went up to my bedroom and was annoyed on how disarray it looks. I started picking up the clutter and started cleaning up. The result on my Second interview on my 2nd Interview on Monday was in my thoughts. I stopped for a minute and picked up the phone. Urgh! Apparently, the President of the company decided to pick someone he have interviewed in the past. Way to go to my going south ego. JUST MY LUCK! Well, as what my parents always says if its meant to be yours, it will be.



So my gorgeousness moved on and updated my resume. The job for me is out there. I know it is, I just have to keep looking. It has only been two weeks since I found out I was being laid off from my job but it seems forever. The feeling of being a burden to someone and the government is eating me up inside. It will not deter me though, because I am good in what I do.

While sitting and figuring out what to blog, I started playing with Windows Mail. I created folders to organize my mails, and arrange and organize my contacts. It was a little over midnight and my eyes was shutting and started feeling exhaustion. I shut down the computer and went to sleep.

Next day, I do my normal routine take my precious to school and come back home. Again, sat in front of the computer. OH CRAP! It would not boot up. Stupid ACER! I was really really upset at this point. "I don't need this right now!", I told myself. Immediately I called Circuit City apparently they could not help me because they only have a 14 day return policy. And I did not purchase the CIRCUIT CITY WARRANTY... grrrrrrrr! Yes, i was really frustrated. We bought this laptop on the 6th of March and here it is problems, problems and problems.

I was on the phone with Acers Technical Support they asked me to do some steps and it did not work at all. Frustration and anger was gulping my whole aura. I grabbed the phone and canceled my lunch with Tara. That very moment, I was feeling a bit annoyed and thinking that this is not how my day was suppose to be. I headed to go see Clarky . And there was my answer. Joe reboot my comp for me and it turned out to be not so bad of a day. Retarded!!! I still hate Vista!

Do you have a computer disaster story? Hey link to me and spill it out. Let us create a chain.

Let us Reconnect

Do you belong to any social networks? Most of us, even those not computer savvy's are a member of one or two networks. My membership I would say would be somewhere close to ten. I have notice that they are like mushroom sprouting from the ground. Here is a new one I have discovered. It is called 3GB Community. Since you guys already have a couple I say give it a try and join 3gb community www.3gb.biz.

My Son's Idea of a Job for Me

Italian street, with laundry hung to dry

Image via Wikipedia

I can't even begin how to describe the events of my day. Last night, I really had trouble sleeping looking forward on my day coming. It seems forever that I have been looking for a job when in actuality it has only been 10 days. The days has not seem to drag since I have been busy looking for job and I was being a mom last week, straightening out the house, cleaning the rooms, doing laundry and have my precious clean up his room. It was not a really good idea for me to ask him to clean-up the clutter in his room. Although, I should admit he did somehow do a good job. But after doing a thorough inspection, he simply place all his car toys in a huge bag and shove most of the clutter in his closet.

Precious spent his weekend with his father. Most of the time I pick him up, he never fails to tell me everything he did, learned or anything that amuses him. The past weekend, he said he got sick on Saturday because of me. Yes he blamed me for being sick. The day I took him to his father, I was having bad allergy and my eyes were burning. He was really convince that I had a virus and I made him sick. Then, he told me that his father enrolled him to a Karate School and he fell off his bike.

This morning, I got up and get myself ready for a job interview. But before everything else, I checked my emails and chat with another blogger. It was a quick one and then I started getting ready. My precious woke up and started doing the same. After he got himself together, he started yelling for me as he entered my room. He said, "Why are you dress Mom?". I told him that after dropping him off at his school I will be headed to a job interview. Then his remark was, "Why do you have to be dressed up for a gas attendant and shoe shinning job?".

What am I suppose to say to that?!

Memory Lane

A sign near City Hall points to the sister cities of Los Angeles.

Image via Wikipedia

You think that I would be able to post more stuff on my blog now that I am not working. Sadly it is not. I can't seem to find inspiration on what to write, no ideas or thoughts. Actually, I have at least 7 drafts somehow could not find an ending to them so I deleted it.

My days have been occupied by looking for a job I like and hopefully get noticed to land an interview. I have gone to a couple and hopefully things would turn out for the best. The other day, I went to the city and met with a few head hunters. In my head, help from job hunters should speed up the process for me to get the job I want.

Looking for a job is easy but looking for THE JOB is not. I don't have to drag myself every morning to go to THE JOB. Deep inside I know that I would be miserable if I go to a job. What type of jobs have I landed so far?

Let us go revisit my memory bank. tuninonio... Excuse me Buraot!!! I need a background to play a music for this. Back to my story.... It is a bit rusty and faded but some remains fresh and surreal. My beloved parents, as great as they are, gave me a graduation gift. It was to visit my cousins and experience the life here in the US while I get myself condition to attend law school. (It was my dream to be a Notary Public at Recto).

As months passed by, my Uncles and Aunts convince me to stop asking my parents to wire me cash. Oh yes, life was beautiful at that time. Money was abundant and I was a spoiled princess. And lets return to the story, In the back of my head, I wanted to return to the Philippines but ok. Let me try looking for a job. The first job I landed was to be a baby sitter. It was not a hard job but really it made me cry. I was crying a river. "This is not me and not the job I wanted!", remarks I would always remind myself. But I was determined to prove that I could do something with my life and not be Daddy's spoiled princess when I return home.

With no work experience other than my internship at Sulpicio Lines, it was really difficult. While seating at the den reading the newspaper, I found an add about a job hunter in LA. Mind you, I have only been in the US for about 3 months at this time. The spoiled first born of my daddy dear head on to her adventure. I did not borrow a car nor ask any of my relatives to take me to the city. It was nerve wrecking and exciting at the same time. Hopped on the bus then took the train. And there I was standing in the heart of Los Angeles, CA. I was filled with mixed emotions. Everything was unfamiliar and yet there I was trying to be independent. Unsure on how the strange city would treat me, I was very careful not to attract any attention towards me. After a couple more days, I got accustomed with my trips to the city. After a week, I started my first Financial Analyst job. It was a small textile company and was a very good experience and exposure for me.

A year later I moved to Philadelphia and that would be a different story.

Sincerely,

Where too


Where too? It has been months since we last travel to unwind and relax. Our travel destination has been to New York, Virginia and Pennsylvania. We have been planning on finding a different spot on our next trip. Since we love the New England area, we were contemplating going to Maine or the beautiful Boston. It is a common knowledge on how expensive gas prices are now a days. I guess Boston would be a better choice. We are all aware that gas prices are tremendously expensive. In order to cut off on expenses, we thought it would be smart to utilize the sightseeing tours available. In one of my search I happen to stumble on Truested Tours website that offers you different tours running between 1 to 3 hours. They have several selections and the rates are really affordable. Not only do you enjoy the sites you see but learn the history of the place. Educational isn't it?!

The tour selection I would like would be the Boston Whale Watching Cruise, Cape Cod and Provincetown Ferry and Boston Harbor Sunset Cruise. The Boston Whale Watching would be an excellent experience. You get to see them in their natural habitat and not in a huge aquarium. I am not sure on the Cape Cod and Provincetown Ferry because of all the good things I hear about this places. Lastly, is the Boston Harbor Sunset Cruise because it sounds romantic.

Now eventually, I would like to plan a trip to California. My son has been bugging me to visit San Diego. I have used the Trusted Tours site as well to look up San Diego zoo tickets and see how much it will cost.

Bored with my Layout.!!!!

I am getting really bored with my layout. This is the longest layout I have had. Right now I am currently creating a new one but I am just so slow in getting it together. It does look like my current one but I am using a white background. You can check it on my Test site.

I am very open with suggestion but I still could not put together the type of header I would like it to have. I wish some of you have my logo ready because the last day is getting closer and closer.

Business Strategies

Are you currently working on finding new strategies for you small or medium size business? I was thinking of new ways to advertise my friends website. They currently have been selling things on ebay and I am simply trying to find additional ways that would help them maximize their exposure here in the net.

Since I have a lot of free time this past few days, I was able to surf the web and found a free directory site. It would be perfect for her small business and it would not cause her a dime. The site is called Dirmania. It is like a phone directory instead it has a list of several online businesses organized by categories. In addition, your website ranking would have a chance to increase page ranking if you have them list your site. Remember, this site is a free directory service and it takes a maximum of 24 hours for you listing to appear. Make sure that your site has content and not just links to be approved.

Simple isn't it.

Open Letter to everyone...

To my dearest friends, neightbors, lover"s" and countrymen:

Modern global cities, like New York City, often include large central business districts that serve as hubs for economic activity.

Image from Wikipedia

I would like to thank all of you for your SUPPORT. When I heard the news that I was being laid off, it was really difficult. A part of me sensed that it would eventually happen, especially I was aware of the things not turning out how we expected it to be. The situation of the US Economy did not help our business plan as well. They held on to me as long as they could but things are just not happening.

To all of those who tried to uplift my spirit. I thank all of you. The kind and consoling words where really helpful. Something will work for me and hopefully it will happen soon. Plus I have Italiano who has been giving me support and DATUNG to get through this. ha ha ha ha ha.

Additional help and would be for you to increase my PR so I can get more opps here in the blogosphere ha ha ha ha ha....

Wala pong kamatayang pasasalamat ko sa lahat na kapwa ko Filipino!!!!

nagmamahal,

Culture Shock!!!!

Beef oxtail in peanut sauce.Image from WikipediaSince I am laid off from my current job, I will be focusing on my blogging career for the meantime while waiting for the outcomes of my other interviews. First thing I did yesterday knowing I will be home for who knows when, I went to the Asian Store and grab stuff to make some Filipino Dishes. My meal plans for me and my precious are Kare-kare, Sinigang, Tocino, Longanisa and Menudo. For days that I want something else, I will be making a ham, steak, crab cakes, stuffed chicken and whachamever I desire. At the store, I saw some live crabs. My precious loves crab so I grab a couple.

I do have a point just keep reading!

I am so excited on my menu for the whole week. But of course, first things first. After placing everything away, I was getting ready to cook the fresh crabs I bought. As I was placing it in the pan, Italiano was on his way to the kitchen. I immediately place the pan down and sprinkle some salt so I could cover it before he gets in the kitchen. As I was grabbing the cover, he was "ARE THOSE CRABS ALIVE?". He was really freaking out seeing the crabs moving while I was covering it. "HOW COULD YOU DO THAT? ARE YOU AWARE THEY ARE ALIVE?", he asked. "Yes, and that means it is fresh.", I said. He was just staring at me with disbelief. I went on with, "When I was a kid, I would go with my mom to the wet market and you would see live chicken there. You pick which one you like and they butcher it right there. It is just like the foods we get from the grocery store except you do not see that part.", I explained. He asked me never to bring home a live crabs ever again. I brought out the fact that its the same thing as going to Red Lobsters picking out the lobster you would like to eat. He claims it is different because he don't see it.

What is your stake on this? It seems normal to me to pick fresh ones over dead ones. I guess because he grew up not seeing how things are prepared really did tormented him. He even kept on apologizing to the crabs.

Open Letter to my Readers.& Visitors

Let me start this entry by thanking everyone who have supported my pinky piglet skin. I would have not been fortunate to be part of the Hall of Fame for the Filipino Blogger of the Week 102 hosted by The Composed Gentleman without your votes.

I am still astound on where and how this numbers came from but one thing I know is I could not be more thankful enough. After hearing some dreadful news yesterday, this acknowlegement really brought sunshine to my gloomy day. Some may think I am over reacting. I am aware that this is not the Academy Award, Oscar or Famas. But for newbies like me, this is an excellent opportunity.

I have heard of bloggers who has been really critical and bashes other bloggers who hold marketing strategies such as this. Why begrudge others instead of being happy for their success? As I have mentioned, newbies like me are could not be thankful enough to the experts in the blogosphere.

Most of my visitors and readers have been coming from the sites below:



Thanks again!!!

Blogger Users: Template and Keeping Widgets

This entry would hopefully reach other newbies in the blogoshpere who are using Blogger.com. Being online for I am writing up this post for my new found blogosphere friend, Earth! She has an amazing skill in writing which I so admire. On her recent post she was asking about creating a three-column template for her site.

Earth and Buraot!!

You have two options on how to do this. The first option is to upload a free blogger template or create your own. Of course it is easier to upload a new one than creating your own. If you are able to decide what you would like to do, I might be able to help or assist you. I am not an expert nor do I know everything. My addiction in blogging does not start in posting and publishing, its more on uploading several templates and personalizing them according to my taste. Let me suggest to you visiting my two favorite layout sites which are Eblog templates and Blogger Buster. Once you find the layout/template you like download it to your hard drive. They have instructions on how you can do this and they usually varies depending on the designer who is hosting it. Before changing your layout/template please make sure to read Amanda's entry on how to copy widgets from one entry to another. Her instructions are really easy to follow. I suggest you download her ebook as well.

If you have any other questions, feel free to contant me.

One big blah, blah, blah


I am having a hard time determining what to post for today. Ideas would be floating in the air during day time but it seems to be washed off the moment I face the computer;-) Another unfortunate and a huge dilemma I face is that I am grammatically challenge so I feel really intimidated but that will no longer stop me. How else will I learn unless I put an effort to improve it? I have accepted reality that I am not a writer. But one thing I know and what I was born to do is explore and experience life in every aspect, curve and angle.

Expressing my gratitude to the evolution of our current technology is not enough. Blogging has been my oxygen for the past few weeks. It was really bad when Italiano got me a new laptop, we (meaning me and the laptop) were inseparable. My obsession with pocket books, shoes and clothes seem to have deteriorated. Actually, it is replaced by my passion for new techno-gadgets available out there.

This is where I will end this blah, blah, blah I could go on and on. Jump from one topic to the other. Hopefully, tomorrow I will find something that touch me and be passionate with a topic that I would like to write about.

For those of you who think I wasted your time. Thanks. At least, I am not alone. ha ha ha ha ha

Help me renovate my Master Bedroom & Bath


I currently live in a Condo in the beautiful town in South Jersey. The decision to move her was basically because of the school system provided by the township. It happens to be one of the best schools here in NJ. Since the area is great the single houses in the area is really expensive. I ended up getting a two story condo. I have just replaced the carpeting next year and change the kitchen and dinning area from carpet to hardwood floor. I would love to do more work on my bedrooms and bathroom but financially it is just not doable at the moment. I was watching my favorite rerun of Friends when I saw the ad of Renuzit Transform Your Home. What can I do with $20,000.00? Images started flying in my head. First and foremost, I will get a new full size bed with matching dresser and vanity and it's got to be dark cherry color. Even though the carpet in my bedroom is new, I would like to replace it with hardwood floors. Next would be getting a bigger Plasma TV to be and hang it by the wall. Update the lighting in my bathroom, replace the small tiles with nicer ones. Update the vanity in the bathroom, and so much more. Of course, let us not forget the fresh scent of the Renuizt Morning Meadow. We always believe that having calming scent in our room makes a very tiring day at work relaxing. It is our haven. Joining this contest is really a breeze. Simply visit the site upload a video or photo and blab away why you deserve to win! Don't forget and “Be sure to follow the official rules.”

Woman's Intuition

The Thinking Man sculpture at Musée Rodin in ParisImage from WikipediaHave you ever had a feeling of sudden strange feeling over powering you? Feelings that is making your stomach flip that makes you sick for some reason. I use to think its panic attach. Now after doing some reading, it is just my intuition so strong trying to wake me from a long dream I have been fantasizing on. The story behind that will be revealed later on a separate entry. This is more on what I have read about Woman's Intuition.


Intuition is E V O L V E D ."

Consider that human SENSE is very primal: smell, sound, sight, touch and taste.
From these senses comes experience. From experience comes the FEELING (emotion) of what that experience meant. From that feeling comes the INTELLIGENCE (logic) that informs decision making. All evolved.

Consider that a sixth sense (intuition) is that which comes precisely from the totality of your sensorial experience thus far. For example, when you look at a book you can "intuit" just how much effort you will have to expend to lift it. Of course, you may be surprised (heavier or lighter than you though), but it is this sense memory that is in service here.

One can suppose that all adaptations become second nature in the normal human experience.

Men, generally speaking, equally unique in their own innate talents, are not "physically cultivated" in their own biological sense memory to the extent that women are. Women invest TIME in menstruation, child birth and child rearing. This is a purely biological fact, regardless of race, culture, education or religion.

Simply put, a female human being, literally has to deal with the realities of the human Life Cycle. She has a biological experience: a fuller impression and expression of the ability to sense logically for the overall benefit and welfare of her children. Her Life Cycle sense memory develops pointedly and differently from men. It is to this that comes, I believe, the expression "women's intuition."


Do you believe this? Have you had such feelings? Hey, I got an idea why don't you write it up in your blog and link back to mind!

By the way, below is a test I took to see how INTUITIVE I AM.

Are You Intuitive?
Your Results:
Princess of Possibilities

Although you haven't reached the pinnacle of perception, you're interest in developing intuition is high. It may be time to awaken your womanly intuition and learn more about listening to yourself and others.
