What Kind Of Car Are You?

Saw this one over at Pam's. And I am a FORD Mustang!


You're an American classic -- fast, strong, and bold. You're not snobby or pretentious, but you have what it takes to give anyone a run for their money.

Knowing Me, Knowing You

Tagged by Maiylah:

Copy this entire list of questions and change all the answers so that they apply to you.

Then tag and pass it along to other blogging friends. Let’s see how well we can get to know one another!

1. What is your occupation? Telecoms Engineer

2. What color are your socks right now? Not wearing any


3. What are you listening to right now? The sound of my PC. No music in the background - ah there is, if we count the birds chirping outside.

4. What was the last thing that you ate? You caught me! It's chocolate.

5. Can you drive a stick shift? Yes.

6. If you were a crayon, what color would you be? Yellow or green

14. Last movie you watched? 27 Dresses

15. Favorite Day of the year? No particular day


16. What do you do to vent anger? I listen to music. Or I sing. Or I eat. Or I sleep. Or I talk about it with people I trust. Or I write it down (sometimes) and throw it in the trash (sometimes). When it doesn't find the trash, it gets published. Heheh.

17. What was your favorite toy as a child? Kitchen Set -must be. Or the usual dolly.

Amazing Protection For Gadgets

While I was watching the men put plate after plate of weights in this invisibleSHIELD video, I thought to myself: I sure don’t want my iTouch down there.


But at the end, I was wondering if all of that was just a trick. Or were all the weights for real? It’s almost unbelievable how a thin film could withstand the 1000-lb weight.

But if it’s all real weights, then I must say that that’s one tough film.

Between Your Legs

I saw this over at CheH's blog. So what's between my, este YOUR legs? Oh before you scoot and say that this is some porn material, please read down below first. It's really not what it says.


So the rule is...

Write three sponsored ads you wrote and add “Between your legs” to the title. Put a link from the entry to make sure it’s real.

BTW, this is dedicated to gagol, gunggol, gorgel, gorungol ‘YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!! sheeesh Ayufff talaga!!

^^^0^^^

To the Big Giiggle who dropped my PR to the ground.


I'm really so HAPPY with this Giiiiggle move that I'm not going to put only 3 ads...but loads of them here. Now here's what I saw:


1. Insurance Between your legs!


2. Teakwood Found! Between your legs!


3. Interesting Video Between Your Legs


BTW, although I'm not Looking for LA plastic Surgeons between your legs or Looking For Used Cars between your legs, I saw that there are a handful of Online Wonders between your legs. No, don't be Guilty! between your legs. Instead, you can ToonUp Now between your legs or you can Connect with IconnectHere betweeen your legs. Either way, I assure you that you don't Need A Web Host between your legs to do it.


And while you're at it, I suggest that you Try These Fun Quizzes between your legs, too.

Meet Penelope

I feel so lucky to have been able to watch three wonderful films last month, namely, The Bucket List, Great Debaters and Juno.


This month, I have yet to see more wonderful films. (So far, I’ve only seen Meet the Spartans but despite the fact that I had a fun time laughing while watching it, I just couldn’t put it in my wonderful category). But really, I hope the movies in my watch list turn out to be wonderful like the former three. Untraceable, for one. Then, there’s Cloverfield.


And Penelope. Yes, Penelope. (Promise me you’ll not laugh but I’m such a sucker for romantic tales. In fact, I never get tired of watching - or shedding tears while watching Scarlet Letter, Pride and Prejudice, Memoirs Of A Geisha, Last Of The Mohicans, to name a few, over and over again). I’m relatively positive that Penelope would fill my “romantic tales” need. Do you know why?


Because Penelope is a tale about love, betrayal, courage and friendship. It’s a story of a young girl named Penelope Wilhern (Christina Ricci), who is under a family curse that can only be broken if she finds love. So with her wealthy parents’ attempt at breaking the curse, she found herself in a frustrating situation of meeting suitors who seem more interested with her dowry rather than with her. And then she met Max (James McAvoy), a handsome down-on-his luck gambler who eventually falls in love with her but who betrays her with his sudden disappearance. Shattered by this betrayal, Penelope finally found the courage to break free from her family, to find adventure and live her life on her own terms and to become the person she’s meant to be.


Now, isn't that reason enough to get interested? Although I have a fair idea how it’s going to end, I just can't wait to see it and see how the story unfolds before my very eyes.

Monday - Tuesday Meme

Melanie at LivinWithMe tagged me to divulge few weird things about me, so here goes:
- I linger in home and do-it-yourself shops longer than in clothes/shoes/personal effects stores or the grocery.

- I sort of have a hand fetish. I like looking at long and slender fingers. Working hands.

- For someone who loves the music of Linkin Park, Evanescence, Nirvana, Metallica and other rockin'&rollin' bands, you’d think I must be out of my mind to also love mellow, sappy songs.

- I love frogs. Not real live frogs though. I have a growing collection of froggy things - tshirts, chairs... Give me anything froggy and I'll love you forever.


- I want to hand wash clothes. I've never learned - or tried to learn- to use our washing machine.

- I love the smell of liniment.

- I go for "making mistakes to learn" than "learning in order to not make mistakes."

Not Anymore

So I’ve been doing paid post here. But for the few months, I’ve only done one review for a casino or online casino. Of course, I have nothing against those who review these sites but for very personal reason – one which I subtly stated in my first review, I’ve always tried to do away from making reviews for these sites.


But now, I’m doing my second review for an online casino site but I’ve only taken this opportunity because the description didn’t specify the tone of the review. I can write as I please as long as I make my content “unique.” So now let me just say that I’m not going to do any more review for these sites. Even if it has a list of online casinos with best bonuses. Even if the page looks appealing because it’s green - and you know how partial I am to shades of green (although this online site I'm browsing now doesn't really look all green and appealing). I just know, as sure as I know myself, that I won’t be doing more review for these sites.

Love-Hate Meme

Again from the pit called Drafts. This is a Regina-MaryT combo meme.

  1. I love to eat: fruits and seafoods.
  2. I hate to eat: canned goods.
  3. I love to go: to the bookstores or children's shops.
  4. I hate to go: to work when it's raining or when my son begs for me to stay home.
  5. I love it when: I spend time with my family.
  6. I hate it when: my husband goes back to his workbase.
  7. I love to see: my son grow up to be a fine man.
  8. I hate to see: kids begging for food, etc.
  9. I love to hear: music and laughter.
  10. I hate to hear: a scraping sound.

BTW, my Thankful Thursday post is here.

More Than Blog Blings Love blings

I hope this won't be my last post here. No. As I am writing the first line, I was thinking not. But really I am still undecided if I'll keep VERB. I love VERB *sniff* but I'm sure I won't be able to do all that singlehandedly. You see, I'm building another home -a new home in the Blogosphere. Some have followed me there, some have not. But if you are one of those who have not, lemme tell you I am not holding a grudge against you because I'm far too nice to hold a grudge. *chuckle* But I sure will love it if you'd come visit me. I really am begging here :-)

So anyway, if this were my last post here, I'm at least ending doing it with a high note (of sorts). And what better way to do that than to pass some awards previously given to me and honor the people who have become my friends through blogging; people who are part of this blog. Consider all these awards as token of friendship. Or medal of tolerance. You know, for keeping up with my gibberish. *wink*

Regina and Raquel gave me this Bodacious B thing. Now, I'm passing this to Iris, Scribbit, Sandy and Lynn.

~o~


From Mama Geek and Melanie, I believe the following moms rock: Melissa, Cecily, Ana, Liza and Yenny

~o~


From Sandy, here's a YMMD thing for Pam, Lutchi, Mama Geek, Liza, Tiff and Annie.

From Regina. Here goes to my blog pals: Maiylah, Raquel, CheH, Thess, Grace and ZJ.

You Cheer Me Up Award


I got this You Cheer Me Up from Maiylah. Now I'm passing this to Melanie, Regina, Sonya and Amy Shipp

~o~

LivinWithMe.com's Blogaholics Anonymous Award!

Again from Melanie: This one I'm going to pass on to peeps I forgot to mention. And to the lurkers here. I'm not sure if have any. But I wanted to think so. Anyway, you can also hop over at Melanie's if you want to be included in her blogroll.


Happy blogging everyone!
