Posey is giving away a LUSH product this week!

Hurry! Entries must be submitted by Friday, June 19th, 2009 and that’s tomorrow!

Heart is important to everyone but to my family, heart diseases is the culprit to most deaths and I hate it because this would mean less fats and meat intake for us. Oh I love pork so much that I can’t give it up so knowing this my aunt invested in a heart rate monitor for us. She surveyed US shops and found Omron HR-100C Heart Rate Monitor to be the one we were actually needing. It’s easy on the pocket and better than most brands – quality wise.

Thanks John of John is Fit for the recommendation!

I suck at weight loss but hearing about this contest made me think otherwise. So you think I’d lose 20lbs in a month? No way!

It took me 2 hours to finally solve my problem.

I logged-in around 6am this morning using my newly installed Google Chrome browser only to find out that I could not go to certain sites including blogger. I keep on getting broken links much to my dismay.

I first thought Google have completely blocked my site because as I have said on a blog entry, my PageRank went down from PR2 to 0 but upon using the site: command on the search box, my site was still there. So my site wasn’t blocked at all! Anyway I already submitted a reinstatement request in the Webmaster Tool yesterday so I am hoping that my PR will be back this week.

My next step was to delete all history, cache and temporary internet files. I did it but nothing has changed, I am still getting the effing (I’m starting to like this word, bwahahahaha) “Oops! This link appears broken. Page not found-connection failure.” message! I was thinking of Google Chrome as the culprit and did try to uninstall it but I love it so much that I can’t afford to click the “yes” button so I thought of other ways. Then I remembered that Google 5 Toolbar for IE and FF (ironically this is not compatible with Google Chrome! hahaha) was installed yesterday so removed it and voila! here I am making this blog

There are a lot of ways to fix this problem but I chose to remove it na lang, sakit lang sa ulo!

Hayden’s videos are so overrated and I’d get so irritated everytime I hear anything about it. What surprised me is seeing Lara Precious Quigaman in Wowoowee a few days ago! What? After all that brouhaha babalik din naman pala siya? I have nothing against Lara Precious Quigaman or Willie Revillame at that, I just don’t think it’s proper to go back to a show who already accused you of false misdeamenor before. As far as I can remember Lara was axed from the show because of jealousy, Willie felt this towards Lara’s then boyfriend when he paid him a visit in one of their US shows. Now we’re talking about Willie-loves-Lara story here, huh?

Is it really the rain that makes me so sad? At this very moment I am thinking a lot of things over a cup of coffee and a plate of roscas, a native delicacy of Barugo, Leyte.

I am feeling bad because my PageRank lowered a couple of notches. It’s really bad though I have read somewhere that it’s just a glitch and will be back soon. PageRank checker shows that it’s grey, meaning unidentified, non-existent. It can’t be because I tried googling, it’s still indexed! Surprisingly, my site tops the search in Google! Whatever. One article said it’s not the PageRank that matters but the contents itself – duh! Payingpost and the rest base opps on my effing PageRank!

I am feeling bad because Smartbro is blocking ports that would allow me to send emails using my goldengroupinternational.com account. It really sucks! I googled some tips and tricks and more blah blah blahs that confused the not so techie me so after several hours and attempts of tweaking the config, it has gone worse! So I quit and rested my enervated mind. Curse you SmartBro!
And lastly I am feeling bad because I received a Notice from the home developer, raise 35K in 5 days otherwise we need to leave. Sad…so sad. If only I can prioritize mortgage payments over our daily needs I will – but I can’t. I have to feed ourselves first.

I told the Credit and Collection officer that we are not giving up the house but are in fact looking for other opportunities and income generating businesses that would at least augment our family’s income.

I am stressed out but I don’t want to be depressed. Mahal ang mabaliw ngayon no?

Ok. I did not make it.

I want to believe that:

1. The interviewer has sky-high standards instead of “I’m a total failure!”. It looks better that way. Because in interviews, weder-weder lang talaga yan. Your success depends on how high the standards of your interviewer are, too bad I fell on these bitches.
2. The job is not for me. Just imagine night shift? 9-10 hours away from Kristiona? Oh c’mon! Ok, I am sourgraping.
3. That I’d do better as a mom na lang. I want to embrace this chance and do good in being a wife and mother.

Better luck next time, there are other companies out there. Hey, it took Sarah G. 10 years to get a big break
