A tag from a blogger-friend Shoshanna. She is one amazing Mom of 5. Thanks girl, for this tag.
She found this poem online.
Tag goes to Arlene, Juliana and Liza.

Thanks for your goodness. God Bless you all.

To browse online is one of the routines I do every single day without fail. It seems that it has become one of the habits which has brought me joy and benefits rolled in one. Being one visual person, i love how reading and seeing different pictures online have given me much advantage than looking for books or magazines to suit my fancy. Even if there are times that I like a specific magazine or book, looking for it inside crowded bookstores takes time and lots of effort. It is to tiring to scour the bookstore for my choices when my list of things to do keeps ballooning every single day. So what is the solution for this predicament? Get it online!

GUD Magazine PDFs is one of the best online resources for different genre of literature that a reader like me seeks. Not only that it gives a wide range of choices but it also offers specific genre to suit my fancy. It also comes by issue and volume that one can choose from.
I only need my internet connection to be able to access GUD Magazine PDFs. Should I want to buy copies online it is so easy to click my mouse than to spend endless hours inside a bookstore.

So what is with number eleven?

Aside from the fact that it is an odd number, it is a special one for me (and for my husband).

That is the number of years I am married to my dear husband...June 14 was our wedding anniversary!

It is a blessing to celebrate the sanctity of marriage. Since not everyone chooses to marry or to stay married, I feel blessed to still live under this sacrament. It is not solely by my own doing that our marriage works, there is a whole lot of Divine Intervention here.To stay together under the grace of marriage is an everyday adventure coupled with mega-tons of prayers. I am also very blessed to be married to a very good person...

Our marriage is not perfect, none is. What is good about it is: it is a work in progress.

It is actually a love triangle for me: God, my husband and myself. It should always be a love triangle, right?

Or else, without one angle of the triangle, it goes bonkers!

I pray I will still be able to blog about my golden wedding anniversary...pray for me!!!

Scilly Hotels will be my first choice when I go to the United Kingdom. Hands down and no questions asked, it offers the comfort and luxury that tourists and travelers long for. With picturesque view of the harbour, it offers the peace and quiet that every person wanting to rest looks for. However, since it is just two minutes away from the hub of shops, pubs and different restaurants, it comes complete to complement one's travel or vacation.
Whoever wants the relaxed environment of the island but not too far away from the mainstream, Scilly Hotels should be the only choice!

I received this very special award Sharing the Love from Liza.
I was very touched, and still am, to be mentioned here.
Indeed, blogs form friendships!

This award is extra special because Crystal created it in honor of the donor who saved her sons life. Her son Noah had to have a heart transplant when he was just over a month old. This award is supposed to help raise awareness of the importance of organ donation.

So, here are the rules Crystal gave:

“The rules of this award are: SHARE THE LOVE!!! Share this award with all those blogs out there that you love. All the people who make you smile. All those that make you laugh. All those that make your day. All those that leave uplifting comments on your blog. **All I ask, is that you include a link to this post with the award and ask your recipient to do the same**

As you may have recently seen on my side bar, I have finally created a custom blog award!! I have wanted to do this for a long time but never came up with something that “fit”. I didn’t want just anything. It had to be something that meant something to me. And what could mean more than Sharing the Love by giving you pieces of my heart??

So I created this award in Honor Of The Donor That Saved Noah’s Life. I share this award with those of you whose love and friendship have enriched my life and made my world a better place.

I hope by passing this award around the blogging world we can all help raise awareness of the need for Organ Donation.”

I’m passing this award to the following:

I was quite surprised to know that there are around 70 million blogs online these days. Can you believe how much traffic the web creates just because of blogs? Twenty four hours a day and seven days a week, bloggers from all over the world and different walks of life have a stronghold in the web traffic; not to mention it increases by the number daily.
Being a blogger for quite sometime now, I am fully aware of the popularity of blogs when it comes to one of the most up to date source of information or knowledge dissemination in the web. What is it they day anyway? : "It takes one, to know one!"

Not only bloggers create buzz, market demand or form cliques and friendships around the web, but we are also the most informed consumers. Thus, most clever business owners increase sales through constant flow of information in the web or through blogs.

BloggersReview is one of the recent additions in the web to create a buzz about how to advertise on budget. Advertisers flock to this kind of portal to promote their products or services without too much cut on the budget. Rates are friendly and it gets the job done.

New taggy from my very good friend Francine. Thanks girl! Here’s how we play this meme:

INSTRUCTION:

Determine your birthday month and get a word that rhymes with it or you can affix to it. Caps lock your birth month (ex: MAYday! JUNE dune, APRILicious, JULYvely, AUGUST pocus, parched MARCH…). Be unique.

2.Your birth month plus the word affixed or rhymed shall become the tag’s title in your case.

3.Get your birthday and add the digits involved. Example, if your birthday falls on the 25th of July, add 2 and 5 you get 7.

4.Whatever is the sum, write a list of the MATERIAL gifts you wish to receive, the number of which shall correspond to the sum of your birthday. For example, applying the case above (in rule number 3), you will write seven (7) things you wish to receive.

5.After your wish list, put your name and birthday in the Bloggers’ Birthday Directory, with a link to your blog/s. Note: when you add your birthday, please place it in a way that the dates appear chronological (January, February… 1, 2, 3)

6.Pass this tag meme by tagging as many people as you want.

It was a lucky chance. Got this new pair for half its original price. These shoes make my 5'4" height, three inches taller. Some days I just need to give in to my femininity.

For $37+ instead of $74 ( P1600), I felt lucky to get these from Celine.

What do you think?

Remember the web development company that is co-owned and managed by my husband? Well, it is still very alive and soaring.
Recently, the partners decided to transfer offices. From the current office they are renting, the new office now is right here in our own house!
Practically speaking, this was a good move for all of them and the company. Instead of paying rent, spending on utilities and another internet connection, so much can be saved from the move. Now, we have an office when you enter our home.
Let's wait and see how beneficial the move for all of us.
