I found an open slot to write a paid review for SocialSpark in PPP so I grabbed it. I have been hearing so much good stuff about this network for a little while now that I have finally decided on joining just a few days back. Most of the bloggers I know already have an account and those who don’t are so full of curious questions about what SocialSpark really is. This social marketing place as they call it is really amazing for all bloggers and advertisers alike. It not only creates a wonderful place for to connect and build friendship, it also serves as a steady pond of earning opportunity. I can’t believe the fun everyone seems to be having in this social network.

I’m new and you can look me up as soreal. I’m still updating my account and I’m still trying to get used to the navigation of the site but the controls and options are user –friendly so I’m off to a good start. For a busy person like me, I really appreciate how setting up an account only took me less than 5 minutes. Another good thing about SocialSpark is how easy it is to view and take task opportunities so only little time is wasted. If you don’t have an account here yet then wait no further and create some spark!

This is a paid review by PayPerPost.

Would you believe if I tell you I have never seen Mel Gibson's Braveheart movie till just now? And I’m crying like crazy while typing furiously. Good movies make me cry, heck that Transformer movie even made me cry. It was the scene where they were torturing William Wallace that tears just started falling. It always breaks my heart when I see evil men hurting beautiful people, especially beautiful people who believe in something as pure as freedom. You should have heard me sob my heart out when Mel yelled, "FREEDOM" and then beheaded. Its way too late for my review but Braveheart is a wonderful movie.
All this crying is making me sad and depressed that now I want to eat Leche Flan. So what did I learn? Braveheart is not good for my diet!

So it's payday again much to the excitement of me and my friends. Meca, Noella and I are thinking of getting a hair treatment but we can not agree on which treatment to get tsk! tsk! It's moments like this when I just love being a girl. I mean I can spend days trying to decide and everybody thinks it's alright coz I’m a girl (hah). If I decide to change my mind on something at the spur of the moment, I’m excused coz again I’m a girl lolz! So everybody expects us to be fickle-minded but I love the look on people's faces when occasionally I do something very unexpected like come up with a decision right away and stick to it ^_^hmmm, now what to wear?

I want to thank Twinkz a.k.a. Tchel for passing on this Lovely tag to me^_^

Since I started blogging, I have been thinking of purchasing a domain and a web hosting plan that is cheap and reliable. I really don’t know the first thing to look for in a web hosting company except that the price has to be within my reach. I found very useful articles and web hosting tutorials online that should help me get started with the daunting task of finding the right web host for my personal web space. Up till this point though, I still don’t know which one is more important, a bigger disk space or a bigger bandwidth? So far I have been getting different answers from my friends and I must say I’m all the more confused now.

Thank you Dez for this cutie blog hihihhi

Playing Dress Up

I'm not much into games, let alone those online games that everyone seems to be addicted to. Just yesterday however, I realized there is one online game that I love though and I can just do it the whole day. My guy thinks it’s a lame girlie game because his idea of games is those with tanks and bombs and guns. Well anyway I’m talking about the "Dress Up" game. I just find it so cute and so relaxing, it really works great as a stress buster for me after a long frustrating call. I also call it the happy game because it leaves me with a warm happy feeling after I finished dressing up the character. Dressing up includes the clothes, make up, accessories and I can even choose the skin color hehe I know this game must have existed for awhile but I just recently found out about it. So you’ll have to excuse me^_^

I have included a screenshot above of 1 fairy in 2 dress up set, pretty!

Have you had a terrible Holiday shopping experience? I have and so are the many other regular shoppers today. It is almost scary to do some Christmas shopping because of what we go through shopping in this season. Well I have just learned a shopping secret from my aunt in California. Its called the blackfriday shopping. Not sure what I mean with this? Let us backtrack a bit; Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving and it is also the day when merchants give discounts to their various products and services to jumpstart the Holiday shopping. Now why wait for this to hit the local paper when you can actually get the archive of ads online before your neighbors do and will save you from the horrifying task of standing and waiting in line at the stores. They have Macy’s, Circuit City, Walmart, Babies R Us, BestBuy and the list just goes on and on. Imagine how this can help you save cash and time. You can even opt to have this information sent to your email so you will know the latest updates without checking the site daily. It really is a Christmas Shopping Experience made so much easier.

I love the aroma of Maxwell Housecoffee the smell is enough to make me want to jumpstart my day right away. Everytime I make me a cup of one, I habitually position the cup under my nose, close my eyes and inhale the rich and healthy aroma. While I like my coffee not too sweet dada prefers to drown his with spoonfuls of sugar. I tell him it's not good everytime but he never listens. Oh well, I'll let him be.

I’m happy with the outcome of American Idol season 7. I really do adore the 25 year old Blue Springs, Missouri native, David Cook; not only for his looks but for his vocal talent and stage presence. Although I must admit, the other David with a much harder last name to remember was also a force to be reckoned with. For a moment I even thought that the 17 year old David Archuleta will win the competition but David Cook won by a whooping 12 million votes lead. Those 2 were my favorites in the competition so I would be happy with one of them winning it. My heart was so torn apart between those 2 David’s.

Having said that and having thought about it, David Cook is a more sensible winner. He is the complete package. Let’s give the Archuleta a few years, but hey Clay Aiken didn’t win the American Idol too but he is making more waves than Ruben Studdard. Go figure that out^_^

Wena's back from her trip to Singapore and I promised to fetch her so I tagged Momi Cherry along coz I didn't want to go ride a taxi alone at 3:30am to go to the airport. Something about it gives me the chills. So anyway we go there at exactly 4am coz wena said that was when she will be arrive. To no surprise, we waited for over an hour because the 5J 548 arrived at quarter past 5am. While we waited for wena, cherry and I had the time of our lives talking about everything lolz and I mean we did cover everything except politics.

I got a chinese inspired gold bag from wena which goes really well with some of my clothes, dada got a cool souvenir expression shirt and cherry got a pig stuffed animal ironically name "pig" what are the odds lolz.

I want to talk about a rather mature and sensitive topic. We are after all mature adults here right? So how often should couples make love? And while we’re at this, how often is often? What if you’re in the mood and your partner isn’t or vice versa? This predicament is as real as the traffic you’re stuck in when you’re running late, peanut butter sandwich when you want tuna and or course the occasional bad hair day for girls. It is so real that I wish there is a manual that we can just follow and refer to for guidance.

Just imagine what it would be like if guys can say, “Article 28 section 7 of The Couple’s Manual says that anyone will not be denied of their right to some sex action”. Then girls could retort, “Well if you read article 18 section 1 then you’ll know that only happens when there is torrid foreplay involve and section 1-b of the same article states 5 minutes of French-kissing does not qualify as torrid foreplay”. Uhm ok, that was strange and funny. In a system like this though; both parties can unload their frustrations and really complain because there is a clear definition of where, when and how. I’m sure lawyers will have a field day defending sex offenders that varies from people who can’t locate the clitoris to people who fake orgasms.

Ok enough with my active imagination. I’ll let the keyboard rest.

I just want to inform everyone that I'm back from Camotes and I swear it really is a beautiful place! I will be updating this post for more details as well as the pics but for now, I need to sleep.
*******************************************************************
As promised I'm back and this time around I have some pics to post. All in all it was not a bad experience but it also wasn't that much fun for me. Maybe because some of the people that I was hoping to be there weren't. It would have been more fun if Jen, MJ and Wena were there.
We stayed in Santiago and this is a view from the restaurant
This is what was used to fuel our diaphragms so we can sing songs like Alone and Total Eclipse of The Heart lolz! Well what can I say this is what happens if u drink Red Horse + EMperador with Extra Joss + Tequilla in one setting, are you okay edcel? These 2 photos are of Mangodlong, it was low tide when we got there and this is a close up the beach bed near the huge rock formation.this other one is of one of the cottages.

Ideally when we go on a vacation, we plan everything ahead of time and make the necessary arrangements days before the actual take off. But let’s face it; unexpected things happen in real life that prevents us from being prepared. I personally am a last minute person and I like to do everything at short notice. This doesn’t mean that people like me miss out in all the good stuff though like freebies and reasonable hotel rates. If you unexpectedly find yourself going on a trip to Hong Kong to meet up a potential client for your Business, there are Cheap Hong Kong Hotels that offer reasonable rates.

Want to visit the Great Wall of China and have no idea where to stay? Choose from a number of Cheap China Hotels. There are so many wonderful places to take your family to. Why not add some historical spice into your honeymoon by visiting the Forbidden City? You can even go to The Temple of Heaven after but not before getting yourself a great deal at Cheap Beijing Hotels.

The place I personally want to go to is Shanghai, I want to visit the Yuyuan Garden and take as must pictures of myself while I’m there. I will check out the list of Cheap Shanghai Hotels so I will still have money for more important activities like shopping.

It’s my off later and I can’t help but be ecstatic about it. It is 1:02am, already a Saturday and aside from business meet ups later; I don’t really have anything else planned. Well dada did say he will buy me some clothes hhmmm..I wonder why. Anyway, my wavemate joined me for lunch earlier and the conversation went on an interesting turn.
Wavemate: It’s been 2 years, 2 good years, can you believe it?
Me: I know and there are only 10 of us left. Whatever happened to the rest of the wave 10 people?
Wavemate: Wherever they are I hope it’s a better place. So what have you gained in 2 years?
Me: Weight obviously, a lot of weight.
Wavemate: (LOL)
His question made me think, so what did I gain in the 2 years I worked here? Brain Freeze! Oh dear I can’t for the life of me think of a serious answer now. Give me a week to think about this, then I’ll write.

Tagging wena, CC and zhoe

Team Pia (our team) will be off to Camotes on the 18th and 19th of this month for our first ever team building. I can't say I'm not excited. I have never been there and I have heard nothing but good reviews about the place. They say it's a beautiful tiny piece of heaven in Cebu. I personally think there are several tiny pieces of heaven scattered everywhere and Cebu fortunately has more than its share. Well I am yet to visit every heavenly place haha I will be posting pics of the outing guys so stay tuned ^_^

I'm a very, very bad girl tonight! Well let’s just say I’ve broken several rules in one setting. Aside from the usual non-work related sites that I access while at work (blogger, friendster, istorya), I broke another rule tonight hihi Can you guess? I have a huge container on sinful peanut butter with me and I’m eating the content using a spoon from the pantry which I managed to smuggle inside the production floor. Don’t ask me where I got the peanut butter from. Some people go banana over jam or jelly, well peanut butter has that effect on me. It’s like Smeagol’s relationship with The Ring. I call it my precious then I devour it with lust. I can just eat and eat and eat it till my tummy hurts. Oopps, bathroom break!

Tnx Zhoe for the tag!

Sharing this tag to faeryrowan, twinkletoe, mars and andrea

The weather is really getting into me.
I'm sick, sick, sick.
Thats is why I have not been online much these days.
Grrrrr...
I want a cup of hot cocoa.
I want to go home.

I love big Barbie eyes like the Japanese anime characters I see in television. Because I'm so fixated with Japanese anime eyes I got myself a black barbie lens at Executive Optical about a month ago. I wanted to buy the contacts online but I saw EO has 3 variations so I got the black one. I love it! The bigger and blacker iris adds drama and definition to my eyes everytime. Dada kept teasing me coz I couldn't seem to stop snapping shots of my eyes hihi I use the contacts daily except today.

Today I woke up at 6:05pm and my shift starts at 7pm. I don't live far from work but still I always shower 2 hours before my shift coz I like taking my time especially with putting make up on and choosing what to wear. I was in such a hurry that I just let my body function mechanically without thinking. After showering I rubbed on some lotion, got the lens vial, poured the content in my cupped hand, poured saline solution then applied the lens into my right eye first like I normally do. Notice anything unusual today though? Well anyone who has experience with contact lens knows that hands should be clean and free from anything used in our daily regime such as perfumes, toners, "lotions", etc. The lens didn't even stay 10 seconds in my eye when I felt the piercing pain. I hope you will all understand if I spare you the comedy and agony of what happened next. I thing I’ll tell you though, I was late.

Good news for bloggers like me, there is an endless possibility to earn with your blog. I didn't think it possible but I make money right now and i'm just a newbie at blogging when you think about it. So if you don't have a bloggerwave account just yet then now is your time to register. Have fun blogging!

A lot of out tenured agents are moving up to TLI or QE positions and some are even opting for lateral transfers. I'm not very close to those who were promoted but I think I may miss some of them. I miss Myka the most because we have actually lived together and I sort of see my little sister in her coz of how tiny she is. All in all the movement where I work could only only mean good thing for everyone.
I love promotions, in fact I can't help but look forward to mine. I have tried applying twice but didn't get the job coz they see me as "not ready". Everytime I see a open that spot that I'm qualified for I get all fired up. But that was then, now i'm taking things slowly which is agonizing at times because i'm not one who enjoys waiting. Patience has never been my virtue and God knows how difficult it is to summon the patience to wait for the right moment.
So what position do I really want? I want to be a trainer (CCT or PST) or work for HR to interview applicants. ^_^

I was just online one day checking new sites and editing some photos when I happened upon a site called BestOnlineCoupons.com; they have some unbelievable number of coupons for several thousand online stores that made my head spin. Now I love shopping and I think I’m not alone on this one. I think a girl can never have too many shoes, bags, clothes and jewelry. So when I saw that they also have discount coupons available for Zappos I got really excited! Now I don’t want to keep this wonderful shopping opportunity to myself so I’m spreading the word. This site has everything covered and I mean it. They even got online coupon code deals for LittleGiantLadder.com and the list just goes on and on.

My boyfriend and I love to travel and I saw some amazing coupons that we can both use so we can save and have room for other stuff like finally getting me a new computer. I saw an amazing price slash coupon for the Apple Store in there as well and I have always wanted a MacBook. Isn’t it great how tiny a coupon is and how huge the cash you can save with it? Let us help consumers get the best deal with their hard earned money, happy shopping!

I hardly have time to go online after we got back from vacation because dada and I are moving to the 3rd floor where the amazing view is, the sea, the clouds, the buildings, breathtaking. We pretty much got everything up there except for the computer because well you know how it can be (sigh). Dada said he will take care of this on his day off which is on Sunday. Till then I'll have to go down here to blog and do anything online huhu

I love our new room coz I can just go to the rooftop and fly my kite. I don't have a kite just yet but I will buy one soon and I will fly it so high like Amir and Hassan did (for you a thousand times over). I want to make my own kite but I don't have confidence in my kite-making skills. The last time I made a kite was when I was 7 and I remember it limping while flying (poor me).

When I get really good with flying kites, I'll fly it in I.T. Park but I need to ask if it's allowed first.

We went to home to Butuan to attend the 1st Birthday of my first ever pamangkin. Meet baby Sander, my oh-so-cute nephew! He smells so nice all the time, even his morning breath has none of the adult stink hehe. I don't know why babies smell so nice all the time but i'm glad they do. He is not fat but he eats everything you put into his mouth and he is heavy. I think the longest time I carried him was only about 10 minutes then I gave him to my father.
I bet if baby Sander can talk and you ask him who his favourite person is then he would answer, "lolo". They both share a really tight bond together. My father is the only person who can ever make him stop crying. Everytime he hears my father's voice, doesn't matter what he is doing (even when he is being nursed), he would perk up and crawl towards the voice. My father even has a silly song for him, a lullabye and it is really silly hihi I bet when Sander grows up he would think it's silly too but right now for him it's medicine.
Sander's Lullabye
Langga ni Lolo, Langga kaayu
Palangga-langga ni Lolo (repeat 10x)

It is sad to note that there is an increase in the number of people with bad credit loans. Bad credit credit cards make it all the more difficult to start anew and build a future. If you find yourself in deep bad credit then you need to find a lender that believes there is a future for you, a company that is willing to take a chance on you. Saying that is not being an idealist, there is really a company that does that. BadCreditOffers.com has a variety of loan offers to suit different individual needs. Whether you need a loan to pay off those card debts that keep piling up or pay off a personal loan, it is all there. They have flexible and consumer friendly terms. Don’t let bad credit defeat you, there is a way to win and it is as simple as going online. Reinstate and stabilize you credit today.

We just got back from our week long vacation and I swear I need a massage real bad. There is so much to write about but I don't know where to start hehe anyway, I think I will start off with a hearty breakfast consist of sinangag rice and sisig then maybe some meatballs?? Grrrr can't wait! I will be back and I miss all of you so bad!
