My blog friend, Juliana, passed me this meme. She wants to know eight things that I'm grateful for.There's a lot of things that I'm grateful and eight is way too little. But since I'm asked to list only eight, I will try my best to pick the top eight.

1. First would be good health for me and my family. It scares me to death when one of us is sick.

2. A loving and caring husband. Without him in my life, it would be meaningless.

3. All that we have right now. It's not too much I tell you but I'm happy with it. We live a comfortable life naman and I couldn't ask for more :)

4. The love and support of my family and friends. Like my husband, I couldn't imagine life without these people.

5. My job. It's not easy to be a working wife. But I just can't give up my career as this is the fulifillment of my longtime dream. To have a promising career in the corporate world.

6. My in-laws. They're the best. Though we live near their unit, they would never interfere in any of our decisions as husband & wife but are always there when we need them. What's more, they always send food to our house, lol.

7. My only living parent, my Dad; my departed loved ones (whom I miss terribly :( ) - my dearest Mom and Lolo; for all the hardships they have gone through just to provide us with a better life and goodeducation. What I am right now, I owe to this wonderful people.

8. The cyberspace for allowing me to earn while doing the thing I love, blogging. And most importantly, for getting to know new friends and having a grand time reading their posts.

Nothing really beats the feeling of being appreciated and given credits. That's why, I felt so happy when I got this new friend award from a new friend blogger of mine, MM. Thanks sis for this. I just got to knew MM from my bloghopping and was happy to find out, she's also a baghag like me!! Wohoo my co-baggie! Glad to have know you :) More bags to come for us this 2008 :)

It will be a busy day later for me today. I plan to visit my friends from my previous job in the morning as I haven't seen them for quite a long time and I bet they're making "tampo" na :) And after that, I will definitely go to Powerplant Mall! Wohoo! They're having a mall-wide sale from Jan. 4 to 6 and I wanted to check out if I could snag a good deal hehehe. A nice bag, maybe? :) I hope so. In the evening, I plan to meet up with my siblings in Trinoma to catch up (I haven't talk to them since... Jan 1 of this year... hehehe miss them already). This is all for now guys. Will post for my 2007 recap and New Year's Day celebration this weekend. But for now, I need some good shut eye if I want to look fresh for tomorrows activities. Nighty night!

In my post here, I expressed my excitement over the idea of using my belledejour power planner. I can't seem to wait for the new year and now that we are in the third day of 2008 already, I am happy to tell you guys that i'm now officially using it and this early, i'm loving it! I also had a starbucks planner (which I acquired easily, thanks to starbucks' 10th anniversary double sticker promo, lol) but I chose to use the bdj planner due to its unique design (very kikay, very me he he he), functionality and of course, the discount coupons! Woohoo! I just hope that i'll be able to maximize using it and continue updating it till the year ends, hehehe. Basta, all I can say is.... aylabit!

I've visited quite a number of online casino sites already and I must say that 32vegas.com is one of the most glamourous and fashionable site i've ever seen. You get the feeling that you are actually stepping into a real vegas casino complete with all the features and games you usually see in a real casino. What's more, it is the only site with a 320% sign-up bonus! So, your chances of being a winner will be increased with the help of this massive feature. On top of that, it has a wide variety of casino games that ranges from the classic ones such as blackjack, roulette, etc. and they also uses a custom version of the popular Playtech Software with over 130 high quality games everybody will love. I hope one day to visit Las Vegas and visit the strip of casinos in person. But for the meantime, I will definitely settle for 32vegas.com as it is the closes I could get to the real thing.

I have been tagged by tet. Thankd sis for this. Now, I know why I love blogging so much. It turned out i'm a blog addict! lol

I just got back from Laguna where we spent the new year. Have so many stories to tell. I wasn't able to post because, aside from the fact that I do not have internet access there, all we did was sleep, eat and watch DVDs! I swear, I think I gained a lot these past few days! The weather there is so conducive to sleep and eating, lol. Sarap!

Anyways, will post more kwentos soon. In the meantime, let me take this opportunity to thank all of you who regularly visits my site. I appreciate it so much, guys. Wishing you and your family a fruitful new year! May God bless us all with good health, great wealth and glorious success throughout the entire 2008! Cheers!

When I started blogging, my only objective was to have an online journal wherein I can post my thoughts, feelings and going ons in my simple life. I started about a year ago and i've never been this enthusiastic about it as I am right now. One reason maybe is the fact that in September of this year, I got to know that I can actually get paid to blog. It's like doing the thing that you love most and be paid for it. I learned this through my online friends and i'm grateful to them for that. Blog advertising is now one of the best ways to advertise. This was attested by many companies that's why a lot of them are now getting services of bloggers like us to advertise their product. It's very effective and one site that effectively works well with blog advertising is Smorty, a site connecting advertisers with bloggers like me. I'm so glad that I was able to get blog approval from Smorty. It's one of the most trusted name in paid blogging. On this site, an advetiser can pay bloggers to write their opinion with linkbacks to the advertiser's site, of course in their blog entry. Once approved, the blogger will be paid for doing this post. It's that easy! Getting paid for something you love doing is like a bonus. And with Smorty around, paid blogging will surely be a breeze.

A friend of mine is now in the process of building an online store that will feature her new business venture, bead accessories.

My latest "baby" is now operational!! wohoo! Thanks to my friend, Dex, who patiently uploaded songs and taught me how to use it. And most importantly, the wifi connection is now working! Yey! Actually, more than the songs, i'm more excited about the wifi feature of this wonderful gadget. With this, I can always check on (as long as there's airborne access) my email and blog accounts and more paid opps wherever I may be. Aylabit!

Downside: there's something wrong with the earphones included in the package :( Basta basag ang sound niya when the volume is increase. Hay! Expect me to be in the apple store first thing tomorrow morning!! I can not allow this to happen, lol! Right now, i'm using the earphones of my old ipod mini. Buti na lang I have spare.

The rule: When you get tagged, you have to add your name below the person who tagged you and by doing so you are letting the list grow

How's everybody? Hope you guys had a wonderul time with your loved ones and friends last Christmas. We had a blast I must say. Hubby and I spent Christmas eve at my in-laws house (which is a few steps away from ours, lol). We went to hear mass at 8 p.m. at the village chapel. Afterwards, I went to our unit muna to finish wrapping presents I need to bring tomorrow in Laguna. Talk about cramming! Na-stress ako! I see this coming na because I started late na rin naman. So, I have no right to complain. Lucky for me, I was able to finish it all before we were called to proceed na to my in-laws house for the noche buena. When we got there, I was surprised to see lots of food in the table!! As in! My MIL never really fails to amaze us! She always have yummy foods for our yearly Noche Buena. This year, aside from the usual food she prepares, she added pizza, pasta and more food from Sbarro!!! Wohoo!! We love Sbarro and having them for Noche Buena is such a treat for us hungry wolves ha ha ha. Anyways, after eating which ended at around 1 AM na yata, we then started with the gift giving. Hubby's nieces and nephews all liked their gifts. I got mostly clothes if you will ask. It was a fun gift giving night and we finished at around 2:30 AM na rin. When we got home, it's our time naman to present each other's gift. I went first and immediately gave hubby my gift. It's a Wenger watch i've been eyeing since November pa. What's nice about it aside from the fact that it's a very durable watch, is that it comes with a free Transformers DVD and swiss knife! Wohoo! So, in effect, I have three gifts for the husband, lol. He liked the watch but I think he like the DVD more. Favorite nya ang Transformers eh! When it was hubby's turn na, he was playing deadma the whole time. He said I already got my gift na and I wore it na nga raw already. He was talking about my new pair of Crocs he got me a few days before christmas. So, deadma lang ako. I know he has something for me. I'm not sure which one of those I mentioned to him ang binili nya. I went to the bathroom first and when I got back in our room there it was lying in our bed :) a gift beautifully wrapped in gold paper and ribbons. Deadma pa si hubby and said he has nothing to do with it daw! ang arte talaga! So I opened it immediately (not without taking a photo of it nga pala) and was surprised to see what's inside! Dear hubby gave me a new IPOD Touch!! Wohoo! I've been wanting to have one since my old Ipod mini is now about to breakdown na (from too much use, lol) I originally asked for an Iphone but hubby is quite hesitant to get one since it's still not available here in Pinas and we might end up getting a fake one (as we heard over the news) we have relatives abroad who can purchase one for us but Hubby said no na lang muna. Baka I might have problems with the system naman daw and no one here is authorize to fix it, if ever. So the Ipod touch is the best alternative muna for the meantime, he he he. It has all the features of the Iphone the only difference is that it doesn't have a phone function. Anyways, i'm quite happy na with this. Can't wait to use it na nga eh.

Christmas morning, we went home to Sta. Cruz, Laguna to be with my family and friends. They're all there na kami na lang hinihintay to start with the gift giving. We all had our turns of being Santa as we distributed our gifts to one another. My mom's side of the family is quite big so just imagine the gifts under the tree! It was fun and merry but tiring rin sobra! But everybody was happy with their loots. I'm one of them ha ha ha! I got nice stuffs from my siblings, cousins and aunts/uncles. We stayed the night and went back home to Manila later in the afternoon of the 26th na. Supernakapag-recharge kami kasi the whole time it was raining there in Sta. Cruz and all we did was sleep, eat and watch tv. Good times!!

It was another memorable Christmas holiday for me. Sana Pasko lagi no?
