Being away from my little girl is the worst thing that ever happened to me. Again, I ask myself, "Did I make the right decision?" Now that we're not together, I feel so weak. I need her beside me. I just want to hold her. I want to see her smile.

Start Getting Noticed through SocialSpark
SocialSpark is a marketplace where advertisers can participate and connect with bloggers who are willing to get paid for writing about their products and services. So, if you are one of them, then it’s time to join SocialSpark. You see, this social network has taken online advertising into a whole new level, on which products, services, and even upcoming events are introduced on the net by means of blogging. That’s right! Bloggers make reviews of your site, product, service, or event, thus helping you get more noticed online. And so with increased traffic that each of these blog reviews bring to your site, you have better chances of making more profit online.
Now, what are you waiting for? Check out SocialSpark now and start getting noticed! I'd be looking forward to more advertisers in the system and would definitely love to write about Dolce and Gabana, Levi's, Sony, Apple, Oshkosh, and various pregnancy, baby, and parenting sites.

Start of Doing Something Right
Who doesn't want to save life right, especially if it's a close family member's life which is at stake? If you're a woman, I'm sure you want to know more on how to go about this. Why don't you visit C'elle today? This is the site that provides women that opportunity to save lives by simply preserving the vital stem cells which come from the mentrual fluid itself. By browsing through this site, you will know exactly how stem cells can actually treat diseases such as stroke, diabetes, heart disease, MS, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's. My family has a stroke history, so I might as well consider the idea. Anyway, looking at C'elle client testimonial now, this could pretty well be the start of doing something right.

5 Months, 2 Weeks, 5 Days, and Still Counting
I am really excited to see my baby and his father meet for the first time. Actually, I was thinking about taking a video of their first meeting, their most-awaited moment. I don't know how I would react myself when I see Ghie again. It was almost a year and a half now since he left, and a lot had already happened between us. Even if we have constant communication through chat and phone calls, still I'm clueless as to how I'll react when I see him the first time after almost 2 years. Maybe I'll just smile at him and say hi. Ohhh that could be pretty boring. But really I don't know. Anyway, what's important is how my baby will react when he sees her father for the first time.
5 months, 2 weeks, 5 days, and yeah I'm still counting. I don't want to think that I still have plenty of time to prepare for Ghie's arrival because nowadays, you'll hardly notice how fast time flies. For sure, this waiting will pass in just a blink of an eye, so I'd better start making my preparations now.

Need to Enhance and Advance my IT Career
Four years ago, I found this career opportunity in IT industry through a simple ad posted in one of our school's bulletin board. I thought of giving it a try since I knew I had the skills needed to be a part of the company's Internet sales and marketing team. And you know what, I was hired and that was the start of it all.
Having a career in the IT industry is really very challenging. Over the years, I got to learn different strategies and techniques in Internet sales and marketing. But I wanted to know more, explore, and learn other techniques apart from my skills. Career growth and success should not be dependent on my present skills alone. That is why I’m looking for ways on how to expand my knowledge and develop my skills as far as IT is concerned.
One way that I found is by having a Cisco certification. But there are different network certification programs available for various certification paths like Routing & Switching, Design, Security, Service Provider, Storage Networking, Voice, and Wireless, so I have to make sure that I choose the right program suited for me. For now, I’m thinking about getting a certification in Design.
I really want to enhance my skills and advance my IT career through this Cisco certification. Anyone interested to join me?

Making my Way to Victory Hair
But hey, what exactly is Victory Hair? Okay, let me explain a bit. Do you ever recall a time on which you spent so much time styling your hair to look fabulous, then when your man arrived, you see that his looks and his hair was oh-so-gorgeous as well, and then you looked at each other with those beaming eyes, leading to one romantic move until you get more aggressive, thus both your hairs get messed up? If you do experience that, then that’s exactly what Victory Hair is!
Now, I really want to make sure that my hubby will love the new style of my hair when he gets home. So to start with, I’m going to use Extreme Style by VO5 to make my way towards Victory Hair. I checked their site this morning, and really I had a fun time playing Extreme Style by VO5's Ultimate Flirting Championship. Have fun as well, why not check it out?

Totally Pissed
Until now, I can't figure out why "some people" can take advantage of other people's money. I mean, where are their conscience, that is if they happen to have one? They borrow money with the promise that they'll pay them back, yet now they can't afford to do so. Darn, these people are oh-so-f@$k@ng-disappointing! Pardon me with my words, it's just that I'm so totally pissed right now. I can't explain the rage that I'm feeling, especially when I think how difficult my husband's work is in South Korea just to earn good money. I love him and I'll do everything to keep him on top, and not be fooled by anybody, much more by people who don't know anything but manipulate others just to get money from them! Yet I hated him for trusting other people too much, especially with the money that he earned so hard. I just hope he learns his lesson this time! No more Mr. Nice Ghie this time, and no more Ms. Nice Phoebe either!GGgrrrr.....

Great Insurance Portal
While browsing the net, I came across this insurance portal. It has all the information that I need as far as home insurance is concerned. But aside from home insurance, other insurance online information are also available such as auto insurance, life insurance, and health insurance. Isn’t this is a great site? It can also provide me real-time insurance quotes if I want to. Talking about convenience, huh! And if want to know more, I can always read on their popular insurance blog posts.
There’s really a lot for me to learn about insurance, particularly home insurance. I’m glad I came across this site.

Say Bye-Bye to Eyeglasses with Lasik
Okay, so what’s exactly my problem? I want to restore my 20/20 vision without the need of contacts or eyeglasses. But do you think that’s possible? It could be a no for some, but for Dr. Kerry D. Solomon of Storm Eye Institute, the answer is a loud yes! He is a known ophthalmologist worldwide and according to him Lasik does change lives for the better.
Now, what is Lasik? LASIK, which is short for Laser In-Keratomileusis, is a laser eye surgery procedure on which the shape of the cornea is permanently changed in order to eliminate the need for eyeglasses or contacts. Once the procedure is completed, the patient can now achieve a 20/20 vision even after having very strong contacts or glasses prescription.
Hmmm..Now, that really got me thinking. I really want to know more about this vision correction procedure, so Id better read on this Lasik information? Hey, why not check it out as well?

Busy Weekend
So, what would I be writing about over the weekend? Well, it's all about sunroom, sunroom, and sunroom. Yeah, you read me right! I need to write 20 articles for one topic alone - sunroom. I don't really have basic ideas about this, but then I can always do research before I start writing. When is the deadline? It'll be on July 16th, so that means I have 4days left to complete the 20 articles. Well, I'll try to budget my time and create 5 articles/day. I just hope writer's block won't attack me over the weekend. Or else I'll be doomed.
Okay, so that's it for now. Oh and by the way, tomorrow is my scheduled site viewing for the townhouse that Papa Ghie and I consider buying. I do hope that the site, the unit, and the means of transportation will all be ok. Keeping my fingers crossed now. I'll just post updates about the townhouse later. Bye!

I Want to go Home
All I want to do now is go home and see my daughter. I terribly miss her. I just want to play with her, hug and kiss her, and sleep beside her. Darn, now I'm thinking if I really made the right decision. I feel so damn alone in this place. I feel so depressed. *Sigh* :(

New Baby on the Way
Okay, so who’s Mae? Mae is my friend way back in college. She is already a mom of a cute one-year old girl, so hopefully she'll have a baby boy this time. She's on her 2nd trimester now and is expecting to deliver the baby on the last quarter of the year.
Congrats to you Mae! Hey, don't you forget to invite me during the baby shower! Oh and by the way, I can help you on your baby shower preparation. I found this great site that provides really cool and unique baby shower invitations. Just give me a ring, okay?

Me on Top
I couldn't think of a better title except this. Actually, it's Ate Razh who gave me the idea last night through her twitter message. And yeah, I know what you're thinking! But you're dead wrong.
It's just me on top of the double deck. That's right! After years of sleeping comfortably back there in my place, I had no choice last night but to give way to that "old lady" who came at the dormitory to stay for a couple of days. I totally hated the idea, but what can I do. I can be really rude sometimes, but when it comes to oldies, well I can be a little nice.
So, if you'd ask how my sleep was last night, hell it was awful! Just imagine my "healthy" body lying on that "not-so-comfortable-double-deck", with me on top. Haller!!! I never really had a good night sleep because all the time I was trying not to move a lot so that the "old lady" below me won't be disturbed. But guess what, she was the one who kept moving so I ended up awake until morning because it felt like I was being rocked in a cradle. Huhuhu!!!
Now, I'm feeling so sleepy, can anybody blame me? I need a good night sleep tonight. Will somebody adopt me for a night please...please...please... :(

I Want to Move Back!!!
WHERE? BACK TO MY COMFORT ZONE!!! Yes, I'd love to go back to my comfort zone. It's just 6 days since we came here in Manila, yet I feel oh-so-homesick already. I miss everything back there in Legazpi.
I miss Baby Gaby - my oh-so-adorable 8 mos. old little girl...and Yana my super-"daldal" 4-year old girl
I miss my old home, with the spacious rooms, living room, and the not-used-garage...
I miss my Internet connection...huhuhu! I definitely miss going online - UNLIMITED.
I miss my in-laws..Yeah, I do. And I miss my weekends over there in Manito.
I miss Baby Gaby's babysitter...Wonder why? Because now I have to wash my clothes, wash the dishes, and I have to do things all by myself.
I miss my friends and ex-colleauges in Legazpi...Ate Razh, Yoniks, Jirlalo, Balie, Wendz, Watsing, Ate Carol, etc. "Wala talaga kayong katulad!!!"
I miss the food...Now welcome me to the "noodle world".
And I miss the atmosphere in the province - with trees and all..
Oh I really miss a lot right now...And all I want to do, if possible, is to go ---
BACK TO MY COMFORT ZONE!!!
