Prizes from Trinoma Mall

After more than a month, my husband and I claimed our prizes at Trinoma Mall. My husband, my youngest sister and I won these prizes in the Vibe Correspondent Promo contest last September. We got Trinoma movie passes, L'Oreal Revitalift Aqua Milky Toner & The Body Shop Shower Gel and Crossings GCs worth P500.

It's just a simple contest where I've answered the questions - What would you like featured on Vibe?

We seldom visit Trinoma Mall, in fact, I have not taken my kids at this mall yet (and this phrase is part of my winning answer). It just feel great receiving these treats from Trinoma.

Fun Ranch Thrilling Treats

The kids had a great time at Fun Ranch Halloween Party last Saturday, October 24. It's a thrilling day filled with fun, games and goodies. My kids and my "pamangkins" are dressed up in their costumes as a geisha, little dinosaur, red devil, little monster, red and black ninjas and Thomas the train.

This year's Halloween party is more crowded compared to the event last year. Still, the kids enjoyed the day and they had fun getting all those treats!

Total Eclipse of The Heart in Flowchart

The 1980's hit song of Bonnie Tyler "Total Eclipse of The Heart" is made understandable through a flowchart. I really find this interesting and impressive. This somehow explains the lyrical twists and the complexity of the song. I even find myself humming while following the flow.

Being an Industrial Engineer, I am used to creating and analyzing flowcharts. I have been working at flowcharts - from the simplest business process to the highly complicated systems flowchart. However, I had never thought of creating a flowchart for a song.

Good enough that Jeanne, the one who made this flowchart, did not get include other lines in the song or else, it would just create confusion.

Oh well, this simply proves that a flowchart helps you understand something that you once thought is complex, but then, everything is a matter of how you see things in perspective.

I really need you tonight.
Forever's gonna start tonight.
There's nothing I can do.
Total eclipse of the heart.

Thoughts on Smart Parenting

Three of my point of views and parenting thoughts are included in Smart Parenting magazine's September 2009 and October 2009 issue. It became part of the parents’ point of view and last thoughts page. These topics includes sharing a perfect recipe for a quiet afternoon nap, kiddie clean-up tactics and letting my kids explore the Internet.

Smart Parenting September 2009 Issue

Smart Parenting October 2009 Issue

All parents have different parenting styles and ways of raising their kids. There are times when we learn from other parents’ experiences too. I am no model-mom; instead, I am enjoying, learning and having a great time being a mom to my kids.

Aside from parenting websites, I buy parenting magazines for it supplements and keeps me informed because of the tips and ideas I get to read. I am a subscriber also of the Smart Parenting newsletter. Right now, they have an ongoing raffle tickets promo for the Hi-5 Concert which will happen in Manila on Nov.25, 2009.

No Down Payment Condo at Diamond Residences

One of my goals in life is to own condo unit/s, and now with Diamond Residences , I am reaching and achieving my goal. Investing in real estate and owning a condo unit would always be wise investment. I have the options of using my property, having it rented or reselling it.

Diamond Residences is a 7-storey residential condominium strategically located at Mandaluyong City - the tiger city of Metro Manila. The residential condo is just a walk away from Shaw Blvd. MRT station and is accessible through major thoroughfares. It is near Rustan's Shangrila Plaza, SM Megamall, Starmall, and Edsa Central; with proximity to workplaces, schools, hospitals, hotels and markets.

People working at Ortigas and Makati would really find living in this place very convenient. I see this place as the answer to their needs. However, if you are an office worker, you do not need to rent because for as low as P10,000+ you can already own a studio unit at Diamond Residences. This condo unit is indeed perfect for office workers, bachelors and even families.


Yes, at Diamond Residences, you can own a Studio Unit with No Down Payment/No Equity thru Pag-ibig Financing. For only P21,000 (monthly payment is approximately 10K), you can already reserve a studio unit. You do not need to wait for years before you can occupy your place, because the units would be ready by the end of this year. A perfect place yet easy on the pocket that makes it the most affordable condo unit in the city.

Living in an urban condo, which is destined to become a prime residential area in Mandaluyong, is elegance and luxury within your reach. Diamond Residences is specifically designed to maximize the functional use of living space, which assures you of natural illumination and ventilation. Security and amenities include:

+ Accessible Fire Exits, Sprinkle Systems, CCTV, Emergency Lights on Hallways
+ Roof deck, Adult & Kiddie Pool, Playground, Cabana, Gym, Conference Room


A lot of people are already deciding and taking the leap to own a 18.50 sqm Studio Unit at Diamond Residences. There are only a few units left. All one (1) bedroom and two (2) bedroom units are already sold-out. So if you are also interested in buying a studio unit, you should start checking the place and make inquiries now.

Little Policeman Strikes Two

What I want to be when I grow up? A year ago, this was the costume party theme in my kids’ preschool, as part of their Halloween activity. My son, who is attending last year's toddler class, came in as a police general - a costume borrowed from my husband's officemate. We spent only on the name patch, that reads Gen. Brent Roman, and police accessories that we brought on a toy store.


Coincidentally, two local parenting magazines had the this theme too. I submitted Brent's picture and luckily, the same photo was published twice! First was in Working Mom magazine February 2009 issue Mommy Moments page, and just recently in MomsToday September-October 2009 issue Precious Moments section. He even received a gift pack from Growee from the latter.

Seeing these fills me with much joy, because I know that even though my son seldom smiles for the camera, he made it on those two magazines that I buy frequently. Now, I wonder what he would be when he grows up. Would he really be a police officer? Well, no matter what he wants to be, we would always let him know that we have his support.

Mystery Google: This is Someone Else's Search Result

I have read about a buzz about Mystery Google and I wonder what the hype is all about. I initially thought that Mystery Google is just making an appearance in time for the Halloween.

The black background makes it a bit spooky and the results are rather strange. I tried entering "pumpkin carvings" and the result is about measles and information about this disease. It is weird. Then I searched about "balloon boy" which gives me results related to "find sexy websites."

It goes with the simple premise that if you enter a search query in the search bar, it will give you a result of whatever the person before you searched for. No matter what you search for, it will not provide you what you are looking for. It will always give you random results.

You can think of it as just a waster of time. However, in a way this is also a fun tool if you are curious to know what others’ are searching and an interesting tool in discovering something that you are not interested in.

You can try Mystery Google and get to see what mysterious search it will bring to you.

Cirque De Soleil Banana Shpeel, A New Twist on Vauderville

From world-renowned group of professional entertainers, Cirque de Soleil (Circus of the Sun), comes a new vauderville-based show.

If you are wondering if this show is a circus, well it is not a typical circus act. It's not even a Broadway play, a musical, a variety show nor a vauderville. It is Cirque du Soleil’s newest production - it is Banana Shpeel! A roller-coaster mix of different styles that blends comedy with tap, eccentric dance and slapsticks. A succession of wacky adventures told in a very hilarious narrative.

I have not seen a Cirque show yet, except for some online clips, but people who have seen this have said amazing things about this show. Checking the Cirque du Soleil online will make you want to experience watching the show live. An intensely entertaining, fun show with a unique choreography. The show looks promising and I bet that this would definitely be a hit!

Check out this video:



The show plunges the audience into the world of Schmelky, a cruel and irritable producer who dangles fame and fortune in front of Emmett (Longoria), an innocent and romantic actor who has come to audition for him. Emmett soon finds himself trapped in a flamboyant, anarchic world where Schmelky sows terror and reigns supreme. Emmett falls in love with the beautiful Katie (Ashford) and meets a bunch of absurd characters, including the strange Banana Man.

I have no idea about this mysterious Banana Man. Maybe they would be enemies or maybe they will be friends. Myabe the Banana Man will help Emmett escape the clutches of Shmelky and his henchmen. Well, you will never know what happens, unless you watch the show.

Visit http://bit.ly/Zefsq if you are interested to learn more about the Cirque du Soleil Banana Shpeel show and the show schedules! Tickets are available now for all performances. You can buy your tickets now for show premiere on November 19 at Chicago, IL and for the February 4 show at New York, NY.

A Shopping Spree from Talbots

It's time to splurge on a new wardrobe! I'm checking out the items that I'll be purchasing if I have $500 giftcard from Talbots at hand right now.

Talbots is perfect when you want a classic outfit. They are the leading specialty retailer and direct marketer of women’s classic clothing, shoes and accessories. They offer an extensive range of timeless wardrobe options to flatter women of all shapes and sizes. Talbots is also known for their collections of modern chic designs.

I love pieces that I can mix-and-match and wear anytime, anywhere. I prefer a style that matches my lifestyle and my personality. I am choosing outfits that are classic yet vibrant at the same time.

First, I'll be getting this night-rose-colored Merino wool sweater dress. Wearing this would really make me look chic and fabulous! This is perfect for the cold season, which is just a few months away.

They have bags that really have caught my eye, but I am only choosing one this time. I'll get the purple Suede Hobo bag. This would be my go-everywhere bag!

Then, I'll grab one of this Refined cowl-neck tee in red - I love its dramatic neckline - and this red Buckle trim flats.

Since I don’t want to be over budget, I’ll be keeping my $14 change for now. I’ll be back to spend it on Talbot’s accessories soon.

All these items can be purchased in Talbot stores, catalog and internet.

Now, I can totally understand why the woman behind the red chair confessions, which is Talbots fun and exciting new blog, is so addicted to Talbots. Wearing Talbot pieces is like wearing luxury all the time.

Adgitize: Growing and Raising Rates

Adgitize to Raise Ad Prices in November. This is an announcement made by Ken Brown on the Adgitize blog as it turns one year on November. Starting next month, they are increasing their advertising rates from $14 to $ 24.

The increase is understandable for the business is growing and moving up, thus the need for more money to handle the demands of their members. In line with this price increase, the expected breakdown of earnings follows:

Points	Old Daily Earnings	New Daily Earnings
Less Than 200 points a day	No Change	No Change
200 points a day	15 cents a day	24 cents a day
290 points a day	22 cents a day	35 cents a day
300 points a day	44 cents a day	72 cents a day
360 points a day	53 cents a day	86 cents a day
430 Points a day	63 cents a day	$1.03 a day
500 Points a day	74 cents a day	$1.20 a day

My advertisement will expire on October 21, so that means I would still be paying the previous amount of $14 for my renewal. Likewise, new Advertisers who will join this month of October will only pay $14. By November, the ads price will be $24.

I've commented on Grampy and You's blog prior to writing this post and I said that "... I’ll continue being an advertiser… but every month, I will keep on deciding." For me, it would always be a matter of wait and see. If I will keep on earning enough to pay for an ad, (which I presume I would) based on the new earnings breakdown, then my ad will continue.

Being with Adgitize meet my needs of getting blog traffic, knowing great blogs and earning all at the same time. The system works effectively together with their excellent customer service.

Let me know what your thoughts are about this. Will you also continue to advertise on Adgitize at the new rate or drop-out?

Adgitize Payment Received, Earnings Doubled

I received my fourth Adgitize payment. My earnings almost doubled for the month of September. So far, this is the highest payment I received from Adgitize. There are even days when I failed to write a post and clicked ads on the network.

From the forum, Ken Brown writes Adgitize Pays Out over $2,400 for September -

Two publishers/affiliates earned over $50. Two publishers earned more than $40. 10 publishers earned $30 or more. Twenty publishers exceeded $20 for the month of September.

I am proud to say that I am one of the 10 publishers who earned $30 or more! Part of these earnings came from my affiliates who are now Advertisers as well - Tinkerputt's Turf, Sales Promos Events, and Views of Life.

To those who are not Adgitize members yet, I am encouraging you to join Adgitize now!

I Vote for A Woman Remembers for the 2009 Bloggers’ Choice Special Award

A Woman Remembers is a finalist in the Philippine Blog Awards 2009 Bloggers’ Choice Special Award . I have no idea I was on the list until I checked on my site’s analytics, which I normally do twice a month.

This is exciting and I feel so happy just seeing my blog in the list of nominees. With all those great blog finalists, I know that I have a very slim chance at winning. My blog is not competitive, still, being recognized could really be remarkable. Just being on the list makes me proud being part of the Philippine blogosphere.

So, I need everyone’s support. Yes, you can vote for me! I hope that my blog followers and regular blog visitors would vote for me. However, only Filipino bloggers can vote. I guess my International bloggers friends can simply wish me luck.

To vote, you must be a Filipino blogger. Create a post expressing that you are voting for my blog. You can make a post similar to this:

oDesk Email's for Filipino Providers

In this virtual world, oDesk, the On Demand Global Workforce, shows that they are humane. Aside from the regular tasks from my current buyers, a new Odesk assignment and an interview request, I received an email from oDesk sending their best wishes to its providers in the Philippines.

oDesk took the initiative of informing oDesk buyers about the dilemma that might hinder some providers from doing their assignments. Through this simple gesture, buyers become aware of the situation of some Filipino providers.

I am pleased that oDesk gives importance to the welfare of Filipino freelancers. I have no idea how many oDesk providers were not able to be spared from the typhoon that hit the country last September 26. I feel for all the typhoon victims and those oDesk providers who worry about their assignments and without any means of advising their buyers; or worst, lost their computers and their income.

I am also an oDesk provider working both on hourly and fixed-priced jobs for more than 8 months. Both my mom and my sister are oDesk providers too. I might have missed working for a day and a couple of hours when the electricity was cut-off, but I can now work despite the intermittent Internet connection.

Indeed, oDesk is changing how the world works and I am thankful being part of this community.
