Massive Traffic for Your Site

Every blogger wants their sites to be reached and found by readers. It’s a good help to get traffic so if you don’t have enough readers and visitors you’ll be writing without readers to view your post. There are many ways in order to get traffic getting to your site but sometimes it’s too expensive for affordability. Good thing there is free directory submission where you can use free SEO tool to submit your site to web directories free of charge. This is a good way to and a great chance to get your site indexed and eventually is found and searched by many internet users.

Oh I love to have massive traffic to my sites so I’ll be able to share what I’ve written in my blog. I love sharing my experiences in life and some inspirational thoughts but what’s the use of writing post if no one will read it? Well I’m thinking of submitting my sites to these free web directories now.

Some Observations

This month has a lot of disastrous things that happened around the globe and here people are busy with the coming elections. Just puzzled why every election brings about massive brownouts and in the past years there are weird stories of kidnapping of children and stories that seem to frighten people to go out in the evening. I find these repeated occurrences every election and sometimes it’s hard to know if it’s true or not. I’m not the type to believe all stories that I heard but I’m just taking these all as part of the old tradition of Filipinos be it in community or in the whole country. Hope it will be peaceful on May.

Easily Got Tired from Walking

When I look in the mirror this morning I was convinced that I really need to think about proper meal and exercise. That’s the first thing that comes to my mind to lose weight fast because I really need it. I’m not surprised why for the past few days I easily got tired when I walk two kilometers.

I’m very strong when it comes to walking and running even if I gained weight but just a week ago I felt tired after walking some kilometers. I’m not that conscious to get as slim as when I’m still younger but when it’s a question of being healthy I want to lose excessive pounds. I don’t want to acquire sickness due to my weight so I’ll be starting now before it’s too late.

:Ruby Tuesday - Arcade Car

This is one of the cars in Quantum Arcade in SM North Edsa where Josh and my girls had fun when we played there while waiting for their Dad. Forgive the slightly dark shot of his face here as the light is dark on his position. Just thought that the car is so cute just like Mr. Bean's car but different in color.

I’m Happy for My Friend

I’m very happy for my friend Janet because she finally found a job she loves aside from her teaching profession. She was currently reviewing for her board examination every weekend and preparing for next school year’s classes. She was hired two months ago by a preparatory school near to my house and was scheduled to start this coming June. We’ve been talking about her new school when she was called for an interview for an office employment. She was so excited and immediately picked an original copy from her neatly filed resumes and went to her appointment.

She earlier showed me her application letter and after the interview she sent me a text message informing me that she got the job. Her father was near to tears and told her that it’s a blessing from God for all the trials and problems that she has gone through all these months. I also thanked God in my prayers for His guidance and support to my friend when she needed Him most. Janet and I are close friends and like sisters and if she’s happy with her life now I’m equally happy for her. Besides she really deserved it because she’s a wonderful person.

Wishing for Rain This Summer

The nature hasn’t been good these past few days with successive earthquakes, tsunami warnings and many other natural disasters. Who would have thought that earthquakes can be that bad on Haiti and Chile. I thought that earthquake way back 90’s in Baguio City was the mightiest I’ll ever see. Those other earthquakes happened before I was born so the only living memory I had was that of the 90’s earthquake.

Well even without those extreme disasters we’re already down with big floods last year, El Niño at the present and Meralco rate increase this month. Imagine after the killer floods we’re now facing low water level in the same dams that let out too much water in Metro Manila and nearby towns. My neighbor told me to buy stainless steel drums so we can stack enough water if there will be water supply interruption also. My neighbor dreads power and water interruption so he’s preparing for all the things that might come up with this near drought situation in many farmlands in the provinces. I was amazed with the one who invented artificial rain which helps nourish the dry farmlands temporarily. I heard over the news that million-worth of crops were affected by El Niño and if this continues we’ll have shortage of rice all over the country. I just hope and pray that there will be rain this summer.

CCS Golden Jubilee-50th Alumni Homecoming

This is a late post as we've attended our 50th alumni homecoming last Feb. 26. We were like high school again and our batch was the noisiest (just like in our HS days). Imagine we're done with our dinner even before the others has started their own lol! The host batch' speaker describe our batch as having a birthday party as we're the only batch with balloons and cake. We're just happy to see each other again and we've agreed to bring different foods. We have enough foods for three batches and we're able to give some to others.

What caught my interest was the video of successive school years since '60s featuring each generation's uniforms, batch of teachers and some class pictures. Our school has changed a lot from the time it started up to now that it has become not just an elem-high school but a college as well. I missed my teachers who were not there and Ms. Rosas who passed away already last year.

PH#203 : Foreign (Countries)

This is one of the things present in preparatory school room and this is where the teacher points out the FOREIGN countries present in the globe. Here the students can see the map of North & South America, United Kingdom, Europe countries, Asia, Australia and other FOREIGN countries. It has many uses when studying the globe, continents, countries, cities and everything about the different parts of the world.

Job Opportunities

It’s the graduation month and I have two graduating students here in our house but they’re only graduating from preparatory and another one in elementary. Still I’m so busy with looking and searching for appropriate schools for them. I’m done with my eldest and she has already passed the entrance exam and for my little boy I’m just waiting for some requirements needed for the entrance exam. Well for those who graduated from college it’s one of the most fulfilling moments in their lives as they’re slowly reaching out for their dreams.

Every graduate has dreamed of landing a good job that will give them an opportunity to earn money and help their families. Some wanted to look for a job here but others who have higher ambitions want to try their luck on international employment like jobs in Philadelphia where they can reach their dreams of having a good-paying job. Some get lucky when they heed the call for getting a job somewhere far and across the globe. But others find themselves risking their lives by working on dangerous countries where there’s war. It’s good to dream and aim high but with limitations on the safety of your job location. Remember that John’s luck may not be lucky for Peter. It means that we have different talents, skills and wisdom and we should be able to accept the blessings that came our way. We should be happy for those who succeeded in their career and thank God for the smallest of blessings that we receive everyday.

Comfort and Ease of Using Ceiling Fans

It’s very hot and humid today so I chose to stay inside the house. I intend to go to SSS to update my employment status from employed to self-employed. But I finished my work at 5am early this morning and when I woke up at 7:30 pm I feel really lazy to go out. My kids wouldn’t let the fan be turned off and every area in the house should at least have its own fan. I surmised that it would be more comfortable to have ceiling fans in the living and dining room for more ease and comfort. It will not occupy extra space and it won’t be blocking any space. I should get quotations from DH’s company store so I can figure out the size, style and features. I reckon it would be a longer summer season that we’ll be expecting since it started this March and will probably end before the month of June.

Some Relevance

My printer is down and I need a scanner because one client needs my signature on the agreement emailed back to them. I was heading for my friend’s internet café when my cousin offered her pc, printer and scanner to me. I was relieved that I will just cross the street and walk some meters instead of going to another town. Anyway I don’t want to go there in my friend’s shop and just stay for a little time. When I go to Bes’ place I want to stay just a little bit longer for some chikkas, fun and laughters. We’re like in high school days the only difference is that we talk of blogs instead of our subjects in math, we talk of assignments in companies that we write for instead of assignment in school. Quite some relevance don’t you think?

Need to Get Back to Diet Meals

I noticed that after 2 months of not taking herbal tea my tummy becomes noticeably bigger again. I also eat rice in the evening because I have many tasks to do at night and I feel dizzy working without a full meal. So now I’m back with a big tummy after slimming down a bit last December. If only I can rest in the evening I will not be also compelled to eat a full dinner. Now I’ve been reading review about diet plan, meals and treatment when I saw adipex reviews which is known to be effective but with caution to patients. It can be bought also through doctor’s prescription only.

Anyway I’ve drafted some lists of what I supposed to eat at night as I can’t sacrifice my breakfast and lunch meals; I need them to stay alert and awake while writing some posts. This weather makes me sleepy always and the only way to keep me awake is to eat and drink cold water.

2. I want you to take away all white hairs from Auntie.

6. Try it now and then I’ll see if I can too.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to staying super late up to dawn to finish tasks before cutoff, tomorrow my plans include buying graduation clothes for big girl and little boy and Sunday, I want to buy them new pair of shoes!

All-Natural Cream

I just happened to chat with my former office mate about his present job and his present health regimen this time. When we’re still in the same department we always talked or joked about the things that can rid excess pounds. Because our job then demands overnight for consecutive days we were on the excess weight side. You know if you lack in sleep you’ll make it up with foods so you’ll get fat. I’m not saying that this hold true for others. Well my office mate is asking me about this testosterone cream that he wants to apply for an added muscle. He’s into gym workout and it’s easier to have desired muscles with creams like that. I reckon he’s just shy to ask if it’s also good for hair loss and for treatment of other male disorders. For the best brand I told him to read reviews and website so he can choose the best all-natural creams for his usage.

Perfect Foods for Weight Watchers

After I’ve cooked a 6-kilo pork hamonado recipe for our weekend church service DH told me that it’s delicious and perfect in his taste. I got a ‘wow’ from my family too so to pay them back for praising my menu I promised them a repeat performance today so they can feast on it. Actually it’s a simple recipe only but you have to be cautious of the blending of taste. From my ingredients of pineapple, brown sugar and cheese you’ll know that it’s a combination of salty, sweet and sour. Well the final taste of pork hamonado is really good though the rolled one is much better.

Anyway with this viand it’s hard to stick on your diet meal plan as it contains sugar and cheese plus the fact that it’s pork. If I’ll do it often I guess I will be searching for the most effective weight loss pills because I’ll surely be gaining pounds from eating this kind of food. Now I have a resolution that after this day I’ll have my own meal for a week and I’ll stick to veggies and fruits just like the past month. I’ve proven these foods to be the perfect meals for weight loss. I’ll do it not only to be slimmer but to be healthy as well. I know I’m not getting younger and I should really watch what I eat to prevent being overweight and to avoid getting sick.

:TC - High or Low - Ferris Wheel from Below

Thursday Challenge

for fun and learningHigh

Low

Got a pretty shot here from below where Josh and I were both staring at the towering ferris wheel in enchanted kingdom, one of the best amusement parks in our place. We didn't ride in one of those stomach fluttering seats, we're contented enough to watch from where we stand. I'm afraid of heights and I wouldn't trust myself with my lil boy with me lol!

The second one is a shot from the top of the five-storey building (I was in the fourth floor inside or rented room for the church). It's actually my first time there last year and I just wanted a scene from top to show it to my other church mates who were not there with us when we visited it first. It's between 8-9pm then last August 2009. The weather is humid and after the shot it rained a bit.

Our Crowning Glory

I’ve seen my former high school classmates in our recent 50th alumni homecoming and it was so good attending events like that. You’ll get to see your old friends, maybe your first crush and of course some of your not-so-nice classmates which turns out very friendly after several years. Well for us it’s been 25 years after high school and we prided ourselves that we made it to arrange ourselves a pretty good silver anniversary last December.

Anyway some of the girls didn’t change much except for added weight like me especially those who has given birth too many kids. Some others you will not easily recognize and few men especially from other older batches started to have thinning hair. Maybe they’re not too cautious of their hair because I know that there are many available treatments for hair loss like procerin which is an all-natural treatment for male hair loss. I reckon some people are not comfortable with consulting their problem to doctors because of many personal reasons. If only they knew that some treatment need not be bought with a prescription so it only goes that it’s safe for common usage of men for their hair loss problem. Some says that it’s not important to be so vain in maintaining your hair but to me hair is a crowning glory of a person and it’s a protection of our head as well. Don’t you think so?

Super Mom Sked

Got too much schedule for today. First we’re the host of our weekly bible study so I got to cook for 50-60 people. Well I’ve already ordered 6 kilos of meat and did my grocery for the ingredients. I’ve cooked pork hamonado, a favorite here in our house and also our specialty. I just did the unrolled hamonado with mouth watering pineapple sauce made thick with cheese, pineapple tidbits, sliced bread and cornstarch. I’m finished at lunchtime and my judges (my kids and Mom) rated my menu with flying colors lol!

Next, I got to run for the 3pm meeting in Ruth’s school with the graduation committee. Ms. President asked me to preside the meeting because she’s caught up in traffic. The meeting was finished at 4:30pm and I went home with my two girls to rush again to submit my weekend meme entry before arranging everything needed for the church bible study dinner. Lastly, when everything was checked and completed I finally went to see DH half on my way to the church. We went back home before 12 and I finally finished my very hectic schedule. More again tomorrow!

A Life Worthy to Live For

People have their own weaknesses and strengths and we should be able to identify it on ourselves in order to cope up with life’s daily challenges. Handling life’s difficulties always depend on the person’s capabilities to deal with it. We have our own ways of managing our problems. Some seek refuge by turning to God and asking for His spiritual guidance through prayers. Many survive from the help of family, relatives and friends but few keep their problems inside and turn to drugs or alcohol to forget their anxieties. They don’t want others to take pity on them and believe that with the help of drugs they will forget the bad things that happened in their lives.

I have a relative whose long journey with drug addiction has led him to a life with no direction. He has forsaken his family and made his life miserable. Several years ago he has been sent to a treatment center like that of Michigan Drug Rehab and we all thought that he’ll change his ways after his 8-month treatment. He changed for a month or two but after that he returned to his vices because he has some friends which coaxed him into taking too much alcohol. We’ve always been aware that his friends are bad influence on him and that time they succeeded on making him addicted again but this time he became addicted to alcohol.

His immediate family is thinking if they will return him to a drug rehabilitation center to give him recovery program like what Michigan Drug Rehabilitation is doing on their patients but we found out that the cause of his addiction is dealing too much on his frustrations in life. That’s the common problem of people involved in addiction they pity themselves too much that they resort to drugs and alcohol just to forget their miserable life.

The result of my observation shows that some youth who find themselves hooked on drugs and alcohol are those who are seeking special attention from their parents and loved ones. They don’t think that what they’re doing is a problem because they’re having fun with it. The case aggravates because sometimes their families don’t want to let these things out in the open because of embarrassment for the family. But the truth is it’s them who can really help their children who are in the wrong side of the road. By letting them know that addiction is a problem they can very well ask them to let them undergo treatment on trusted rehabilitation center like Drug Rehab in Michigan who can give the proper counseling, behavioral therapies and medical treatment they badly needed. Helping our loved ones change their lives for the better will not only make their lives worthy to live for but happy and peaceful as well.

Readying Car for Next School Year

It’s another year again and next month we’ll have to deal with renewal of our car’s registration We’re thinking of how we’re going to have it registered with its current status. Anyway we still have two weeks to finalize our decision. We have our quotations now for the complete repair and it spells expenses. Although it’s still in repair status I’m searching for an affordable auto insurance quote so when the car returned to its normal running condition we’ll be ready with the processing of insurances and registration. How I wish the car will be ready for the next school year opening of classes as I’ll have three students on three different schools.
