Naghahanap ako ng tanso o bakal na gawa sa ‘reddish metal’ nang maalala ko ang litratong kuha ko noong 2005 na halos kulay tanso.
Maligayang Huwebes!

I was looking for a subject made of copper or ‘reddish metal’ when I remembered this photo that I took in 2005 that represents a Copper colored Sky.
Happy Thursday!

Ng matataas na lugar. Ako po ay isang “duwag” pagdating sa matataas na lugar. Mabuti na lang na ang monorail na ito ay maikli lamang at madali rin kaming nakababa sa patag. Ito ay kuha sa Tagaytay Highlands nung 2005.
~oOo~
Heights. I am a coward when it comes to heights. It was good that the monorail ride is short thus we were back on the grounds in no time. This was taken in Tagaytay Highlands, Philippines in 2005.

I have another wordless here. More from the other participants!
Posted in Feature, Wordless WednesdayI like people who unselfishly share what they know. They are usually secure and confident about themselves and no doubt has a heart for sharing or helping. I am blessed to have met people like that in my life.
But even in the World Wide Web, you can find these gems. One of them is the guy behind Blog Oh Blog. Aside from sharing beautiful and highly usable Wordpress templates, he shares a lot of stuff about site traffic, SEO and even making money out of blogging.
I have used many of his templates in my other blogs and I frequent his site for references. So, without further adieu, I would like to introduce Jai Nischal Verma and his wonderful blog.
I’m sure his site will be your favorite, too!
Posted in Blog-o-roo, Feature Tagged as blog oh blogOne of the many things I miss about Singapore is our friends. In my six years there, my husband and I formed many meaningful friendships. One weekend in 2005, my husband and I went to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia with a group of friends. As expected, we had a blast! We went food tripping, sight-seeing and there was no dull moment just being with those guys. We surely miss them.
I have another entry here. :) More wordless(ness) here!
Posted in Feature, Wordless Wednesday Tagged as kuala lumpur , petronasI was doing some search in Google and found this interesting write-up (as the explanation was written in non-techie language) about the No Follow rule. If you happen to be new in blogging or more importantly, in sponsored posts, this blog post is for you. :: wink::
I’ve read many bloggers who are opposed to the idea while many I know are actively using the rule. Read more about his take on this after the jump.
Posted in Blog-o-roo, Feature Tagged as no followWhen I had trouble accessing my site due to IP ‘refresh’ issues with my ISP, a blogger friend of mine recommended this useful site to me.
One time, my husband wanted to access his personal emails from his client’s site but couldn’t because of firewall, I asked him to try the link. He first laughed because of the funny domain name but found it really useful.
Posted in Blog-o-roo, Feature Tagged as bypass proxyWhen I delved into the world of self-hosting four years ago, I must admit that I was clueless. All I wanted then was to have my own domain and use wordpress. Not to say that I am very knowledgeable about it now but at least I know the basic things needed to keep all my blogs up and running.
Thankfully, I have known blogger friends, who shared their technical skills with me as I migrated to a new web host. Also, there is a whole gamut of free web hosting articles on the Internet. It’s just a matter of being patient and knowing what to search for using Google.
For non-techie bloggers like me, it is important to decide on a cheap and reliable web host. Asking around for first-hand experience on web hosts is also good. It is also important that the company has a very good technical support.
I have only move web hosts once and while I can say that I am a lot happier with my current, what I wish they have that my first web host offers is Cpanel (control panel). Nothing beats its GUI (graphical user interface) that is great for non-techie users.
There is no perfect web host for sure but so far I can vouch for the performance of the web hosting company I chose.

I wish I knew what this statue is called. I remember going around it but couldn’t find any information near it. This photo was taken a few months ago at Royal National Park in Sydney.
Anyway, using your imagination, what do you make of it? I see the first head looking away while the next two seem like whispering secrets. Hi Hi.

One of my favorite sites that help with my blogging needs is Dynamic Drive. It has a lot of free scripts for enhancing navigation and adding forms or effects on your sites. I have always referenced Dynamic Drive whenever I need to disable right-click on my blogsites. If you don’t fancy using watermarks, you can always use this script. That should discourage image downloads not permitted.
Here’s the link of the script that I use here and my personal blog:

“Soon all the old leaves will be gone and new ones will come. Such is life.”
It’s the last month of winter in Australia. We’re looking forward to spring!
I have another wordless here.
(Kung hindi dahil sa tema natin ngayong linggong ito, hindi ko malalaman na kaunti lamang ang litrato ko na kuha sa may dagat. Malamang, pupuntahan namin ang maraming beach dito sa Sydney pagdating ng tag-araw sa Disyembre!
Ang litratong ito ay kuha sa Carrs Bush Reserve sa Sydney. Napansin ko ang mga ibon na parang nakatitig ng matagal sa kawalan na di alintana ang malakas na hangin at ang mga batang naglalaro sa paligid.)
If not for this week’s theme, I would not have gone through all my online albums and realize how few my beach photos are. This calls for a major beach hopping in Sydney when summer comes in December!
This photo was taken at Carrs Bush Reserve in Sydney. I took note of the birds “looking” at the horizon that they stayed unfazed by the wind and the kids playing around.

One of the plugins I find really useful is wordpress’ comment thread plugin. It allows the blog owner to “nest” his/her reply to readers’ comments with ease. I used to log in to my WP account and edit the comments to add in my reply but that can be troublesome if you have a lot of comments coming from three blogs to manage.
So, this is the answer. This is proven and tested to be working on my three blogs. Here’s the source:

Posted in Blog-o-roo, Feature Tagged as WP thread commentSince my webhost move to Dreamhost a few months ago, I contemplated to blog about my hosting experience to help out non-techie users like me. So now, this will be the first of a series of reviews, which I hope I can complete within a few weeks.
Although my first blog set-up was a bit tricky, I have begun to appreciate the features offered - like the quick installs. I don’t need to upload wordpress files through ftp anymore. I just need to log in to my control panel and click on the One-Click installs menu. The best thing is that I can do my version upgrades there, too. Isn’t that grand?
Like what it says on the Dreamhost website, it’s Fantastico, shmantastico!

One of the highlights of our trip to the US in 2005 was our visit to Las Vegas. Whenever I see the colorful lights along the strip on TV shows, I tell myself that we should plan for Vegas vacations in the near future.
I remember playing the slot machine for the first time and I won 80 dollars, they call it beginner’s luck. Also, there’s this restaurant that serves really cheap but yummy steak and eggs (just thinking about it makes me drool). Best of all, I miss the beautiful sunset, like the one I captured above during our drive from Vegas to San Diego.

Well, whatever your feelings are about this topic, the code to remove the navbar is there for the taking. Here’s the link to the blog that shows the piece of html code that you just need to copy-paste on your blog’s template.
Easy-peasy, I should say.

(Ang cyclone na ito ay “simulation” lamang na makikita sa Discovery Centre sa Singapore. Bagaman nakamamangha ang luntiang kulay habang patuloy ang pag-ikot ng tubig, mababatid rin natin kung gaano kalakas na kalamidad ito.)
This cyclone simulation can be found at Singapore’s Discovery Centre. Even though I was in awe of the bright green color produced by the whirling water, I realized how strong and powerful a calamity this is.

When we were planning for our New York City trip in 2005, we knew that spending less than a week there is not enough. However, due to time constraints, we compressed our schedule so that we can visit most of the highlights there.
It was tiring to say the least. It was like every hour was critical for us that we should spend it wisely. There are a lot of buses offering NYC tours but we chose to tour the city on foot.
Overall, it was an amazing experience. I took as many photos as I can and I didn’t even let pass taking a shot of the door of Donald Trump’s office. There is so much history in every corner and every spot in that city. There is so much color and life to the structures and parks that I can sit contently while I watch the busy New Yorkers pass by.
Next time we get the chance, I will be more equipped to plan for our trip there. I’m sure that we’ll have a grand time again. We will not only visit the places we missed but we can also visit my in-laws in nearby New Jersey and Philadelphia.
Not really wordless today, but I can’t help but share about New York! I have one more wordless here. More from the other participants!
Posted in Feature, Piggy Bank, Wordless Wednesday Tagged as new york cityI may have been blogging for over four years but it’s only recently that I’ve started to gain interest in knowing a bit of the technical side of setting up blogs and the importance of SEO. There is so much available information out there that spending a few minutes or hours a day is definitely not enough.
So to share bits and pieces of my blog finds, let me start by sharing this tool called Website Grader. I stumbled upon this site a few months ago but never got around to writing about it until today. This tool lists the important aspects of SEO and you’ll see how you can improve on them.
There is still so much to be done to improve all my blogs’ grades but I’ll get there eventually. So why not give it a whirl now, here’s the link:
