I am a foot flusher

Whenever I use public Comfort Rooms, I don't use my hand to flush the toilet instead I used my FOOT. Yes, you heard it right! MY FOOT! I don't know but it's been my habit to flush using my foot. Maybe, because touching that  thing (what do you call the one use for flushing? flusher? Lol) is quite DIRTY! Yes, DIRTY. We never know who touches it... who knows the person before you has Herpes or something communicable disease. Hahaha.. I am so paranoid about it! Anyway, I'm really a foot flusher... I feel sorry to those who use the toilet after me... especially to hand flusher! You get all the dirty in my shoe. HOW ABOUT YOU? ARE YOU A FOOT FLUSHER TOO?

I want my blog to be popular!

It's been almost 2 years since I started blogging and my blog is still  not that popular. Yes, girl blogger is nothing compared to Problogger and Shoemoney.com.  These two blogs are very successful because they have good  web strategies. They can attract people and it's like they've got some spells because people keep visiting their web blog.

I've read many articles on how to optimize a web blog. The common information that  I got from different articles is to have a GOOD CONTENT and GOOD TEMPLATE. A good content means,  what you posts on your blog are relevant and posts that  are interesting. While, a good template simple means that your content can be readable and easy to navigate.

Well, I really don't know how to make one blog popular by using those 2 example strategies. I know there are a lot to do to make my blog popular... not just the content but promoting one's blog too.Or a good advertising  will do.

Can you share your knowledge on how to make a blog popular? I am willing to read your suggestions.

Sunset @ Beach

**January 31, 2009
I thought sunset could make me happy but I was wrong. Just this afternoon I was waiting for a person whom I eagerly want to see but fate was so cruel... I didn't got the opportunity to see him. And now, every time I look at these sunset pictures, it only makes me feel lonely and it reminds me of him.

Apollo Quiboloy claimed to be...

... the appointed Son of God! I was watching the probe a while ago about this church named The Kingdom of Jesus Christ that was founded by Apollo Quiboloy. Once, I've heard him on the news claiming that he was the Son of God but I didn't put much attention...  not until now.  I've searched on the youtube hoping to find some video clips about him claiming to be the son of God. Fortunately, I found one. Watch the video below:






What can you say about the video? He really claimed that he was the appointed son of God. How does he know? Through his revelations? You judge! Do you believe in  him? or not? Tell us why!

Our sink at home is a little rusty already. Haven't change from the moment we moved on from this house. It's kinda old and we need to replace it with stainless steel kitchen sink (see the picture above).

A Scammer: Elaine Nelia SY of Chicsassy

Reputation Management

Even in the internet, people still want to protect and preserve their identities and reputation. Even though it is in virtual but we treat it as our real reputation too. Reputation Management is a must in order to get things right and in the right track. Not to the extent to bias the information, but to show the truth and what is pleasing to everybody. Not to offend. Manage your reputation in real life and in virtual, you might need it in the future.

Puppy Training

Having puppies at home is fun and exciting. They are cute and cuddly. They run around the yard, play with you, lick you and show their cute little faces to you. Puppies are just so fun to be with but puppies sometimes are hassle especially when they poo and pee everywhere. Also, puppies can be so wild, messy and hyperactive. They also got this nature of being a biter. Yes, they bite you even if you two are just playing.That is what puppy really is. But hey! You can train  your puppy to behave and be an obedient  pet. However, patience is very important.

I have three young dogs before namely 2b, spike and tuffy. They were so obedient. They understand the words "out", "no", "sit", "fetch" and many more. I trained them with the help of my family. I used the reward system. Every time they get the right task, I gave them a piece of food. I was doing it all the time. However, after how many months I tried to train them using "alternate method". It means, I give them food this day when they follow my command and the following day no reward or food. I did this over and over again until they learned to follow the task without a reward. The method I used was a successful one. My puppies learned to follow all the commands I taught them. But if you don't have enough time to train  your dog/puppy, you can hire  a trainer to do it for you. Expect to spend some of your dollars. But if you like to train your puppy by youself, you can do it. I have known one site that provides a Puppy Training guide.

TheDogTrainingSecret.com is a good site  when it comes to dog training. It covers everything from potty training, to leash training, to dog aggression and so much more.  They also offer .pdf's videos, and audio downloads for you to use. You will learn a lot of secret things about training your dog/puppy. This site will be helpful.

Before I end this post, remember that training a puppy is not easy and it needs hard work and patience.

Wheelchair Vans

Guest Post By: Nora D.

Being in a wheelchair should not remove any bit of independence. Vehicles, especially vans, are regularly modified for people that are physically challenged and in a wheelchair. Toyota has certified dealers that specialize in mobility programs. Toyota wheelchair vans offer a compact lift seat up to 330 pounds for the right front seat. There are organizations available to guide and help you find a new or used vehicle that fits your needs.

Some of the basic modifications are hand controls, a lower floor, a tie down system, and a wheelchair lift or scooter lift. There are two types of lifts, side entry or rear entry. For the tie down system, the measurements of the wheelchair are needed. The hand controls offer a high-tech system along with installed brake pedal guards. Having a lower floor in the van allows for additional head space. There are other custom modifications that can be made depending on the physical limitations of the individual.

Just so you are aware of your options, Dodge Caravan has the new 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan while Ford provides the VMI Tuscany Conversion van. Chevrolet Town & Country Limited van and the Chevrolet Uplander are both equipped with specialty equipment for the physically impaired person.

Toyota Sienna makes a wheelchair van called Rampvan, which uses the BraunAbility side entry ramp. Toyota also offers financial assistance or extended payment plans to make things easier on everyone. Don't allow transportation to be an obstacle any longer. The Toyota wheelchair van is here to pave a new road to freedom.

I badly need a one

One important stuff that a nurse must have is a watch because nurses are time conscious. They budget their time wisely in order to give fair care to the patients. They always look at the time so that they can the give the right timing of the medications. Check the time often to get the vital signs of the patients. Nurses are really time observer. That is why a Nurse should have her/his own wrist watch to get updated to time. Yes, that is how important a watch is for nurses. However, I tell you the truth I don't have one [I am a nurse]. It is so hard to work without it.  Now, I am planning to buy 2 seiko diamond watches for myself and for my best-friend. You can call me now a time conscious nurse. /wahaha

SEO Blog Reviews Scam?

I though that SEOBlogReviews was a scam because there was no "login" button where you can enter to their site. There 's no advertiser-blogger connection. They only send msgs to your email saying if you will accept or reject the opportunity. After that, I haven't heard anything from them. 5 days after, I received an email from SEO saying that they already send the payment to my paypal and I was task to do a review. They provided the specific details and where to submit the blog post.

SeoBlogReviews has unique way of doing there thing. They are not a scam bag. They just have there own way to connect with bloggers.

Testing my internet speed again

(Recent speed net)

I have already tested my internet speed after the PLDT DSL was installed and the speed was good. But then, months past, I observed that the loading of websites is getting slower so I decided to check again my internet speed and I was a little shock that it the downloading speed drop from 3.08 mbps to 2.30 mbps and the uploading speed down to 0.73 from 0.78.  I wonder what makes the internet slower ? Maybe, because of the weather or what? Well, I hope the net speed will go up to 3 mbps anytime by now. ^^ I'll try to check it again later.
