exchange links

I notice recently, I keep on receiving mails about web directory submissions which i do not fully understand. I am more of afraid to check the site since it may just be spammers or phisher-man (corny!). Too afraid to deal with that... AGAIN! Yes, you heard it right. Had a boo-boo to think I am what you call, computer literate. I just wish I follwed my instinct. I already noticed something odd but still did what I did. o well, lesson learned!

Next Stop!

So before we left EU last week, the brother was telling me his "debut" plans for his birthday next year. He plans to celebrate it in the US and having a cruise. He is actually inviting me or making us go there next year to celebrate with him. I said no since my little princess is going to school starting next year and his birthday falls on July, second month of school here. Unless school starts September or December and we have a budget for that + visa, malay natin! :D

Something weird

I have been trying to lose weight since who knows when. I even started quitting rice since Holy week and eventually, I see result. Well, that is according to my clothes, specially my pants.

The other day, I was able to remove my pants without unbuttoning it! Imagine that! What is weird is, when I try to check my weight (using a scale of course), nothing changed! Not even a single pound! I Wonder what happened to those fats found in my belly. Transferred somewhere else? Kataka taka naman! Maybe I need this Kettlebell to really see a change. Easy to say but hard to do! pft!

Blogs and Ads

Want to make money blogging? I did! I started in 2008 while others i think started in 2006. Those who started in 2006 were the lucky ones since there are few bloggers who go into this business. Though I have been blogging since 2004, never really occurred to me that I will go into this one. It was all worth it as I was able to buy a new laptop last year, paid my annual insurance this year and save some which all of it I mostly earned last year, before the recession. Yes, even I was affected by the recession.

I guess blog advertising is becoming an effective means of making people know of ones product. I for one use the internet most of the time and try to look for reviews from other blogs and comments. I think it is pretty easier this way.

Knowledge and data information went better with the boom of technology, the net in particular. But the sad thing about this one is the lost of business for some books like the encyclopedia and atlas since information contained here are digitally available already. Who needs the books in the library when all things are available already anytime you want it. Plus the fact that it is much easier to find stuff compared to the library. Except perhaps those old published books and news clippings which probably are not yet converted to an electronic or digital information. And perhaps for those who still prefer reading from actual books than reading it electronically, the library is still one of the best place for them, the book lovers.

All in all, I appreciate what blogging and the net can offer. I enjoy sharing and reading information from bloggers, editors, writers all over the world. Just wishing that some make sense at all.
