Thank You, We have PR3!

8 Comments

Well what do you know? This is a complete surprise. I just checked and found that Where The Moon Shines, is now at PR3!

Page Rank Check

Isn’t that a reason to celebrate? It is, it is! 🙂 The last time this blog had PR higher than 0 was in 2008. Since dropping from 3 to 0 in a few weeks, I tried to stop obsessing over PR, rationalizing that I needn’t hook my happiness on algorithm. Haha. 🙂

Now for those who don’t quite understand yet how Google Search and PageRank works, Hummie has a post up on her blog that explains pretty clearly how Google and linking up works. In the same post she links back to her 2008 tutorial on why Link Love is good for your blog 🙂

Today’s good news spurs me on for the blog giveaway I’m hosting soon (for real, this time :)). It should be reminiscent of last year’s Got Heart Planner Giveaway, but hopefully with more winners and more prizes straight from my heart. Let me caution you though that my blog contests are not about the prize themselves so it won’t be big bucks and not extravagant, but really more of a celebration of another year with everyone, and a thanksgiving for all that we’ve been blessed with this year. 🙂

Emma Geller-Green

Does the name sound familiar? For Friends fans, it will definitely ring a bell. She’s Rachel’s and Ross’ baby girl 🙂

I ran a search on the term “having a baby” because I wanted to write about preparing for my nephew’s arrival next month (SIL is due on December 18, can’t wait!). The YouTube video that came up on top of the Bing search results was a video of Rachel giving birth (watch in Youtube, embedding has been disabled). Funny how I don’t remember seeing that episode, nor the one where they celebrated Emma’s first birthday. And I thought I’d watched every Friends episode. Maybe there was something missing in my DVD or I’m really just that forgetful.

I almost teared up over Emma and Friends. 🙁

My SIL’s friends at work and her team already threw a birthday shower for her so the baby has pretty much all the things he needs when he comes out. They will also be buying him a foldable crib soon, I hear it costs about ten thousand pesos (pricey!). Now what shall I get for our baby boy? I have no idea! I’ve been so used to buying random things for my nieces and nephews (thru cousins) but I’m at a loss for what to get for our coming little angel. Ugh. I’m sure I’ll think of something.

We haven’t locked in on a name yet. Viktor Ethan? Dan Viktor? Vlad? Vito? Hay.

I also have no idea what kind of parents they’ll be. I mean, are they particular about the baby’s things? Like would they prefer organic stuff and do they check lead levels on the plastic/rubber products they’re getting. Will they be getting formula or will it be breast milk all the way?

Ting!

All of a sudden I know what I’m going to get them! Woohoo 🙂

No complaints here :)

, 6 Comments

Wow. Have you noticed how many posts I’ve published here and at Between the Covers since yesterday? There’s a couple more coming your way. 🙂 For a brief moment there I wanted to complain: it’s not easy to come up with meaningful posts every time. And then I caught myself in the middle of that thought. Dare I complain about receiving opportunities? No.

I am thankful that there are posts to write. Thankful for the experiences that I can write about. I cannot be more thankful that I have the time and the resources to sit here and type these words. That I had the life and upbringing that allowed me to know about these things and more.

I am thankful for the many opportunities that come my way. For the chance to grow and be better. For the chance to start fresh.

Yes, I may have sounded like I was complaining about my big appetite, but I am thankful that there was all that food to eat 🙂 Reading alli reviews is not a sign that I’m ungrateful for all that food, but actually a sign that I’m interested in taking care of myself all the more by losing weight the safest way possible. 🙂

And finally, I am so thankful for the many reasons I have to be thankful, and I will always be so. For the biggest gift we’ll all be getting this Christmas, thank you in advance Lord! We pray for a safe delivery, as we await the arrival of my nephew 🙂 (have you seen his 4D pictures?)

Ooooohhh I almost forgot. Gee has been pointing out the HyperPromote pop up ads that go with the blog. Can someone out there help me identify where it’s coming from so I can take the code out of my blog? Please? Thank you!

Sunday Morning TV

Since waking up this morning, I’d been seated in front of the TV enjoying Sunday morning TV while also blogging and reading tweets.

Matanglawin with Kuya Kim

Today was Kuya Kim’s first day back after having a heart operation. It was an episode for reminiscing the two years of Matanglawin. He talked about his favorites, and explained a lot of things behind them. Like the story of his infamous hat, his favorite shoes used for the show, and even his trademark short pants.

Kuya Kim is really the trivia king. In fact, when we were stumped for the scrambled letters of the word reception and couldn’t guess what it was, my instinct was to tweet him! Haha. 🙂

Next week, they’ll be showing the procedure done on Kuya Kim, the first time it was ever performed in the country. I’m looking forward to that.

After Matanglawin, they showed Richard Gutierrez and Angel Locsin in Sigaw. I’d seen it already and wasn’t much interested in seeing it again so I pretty much just flipped channels back and forth. I tuned into to ShopTV for awhile, even to a movie with the Pacman on GMA (Dad insisted!). We only really settled again when it was time for the ASAPXV opening number. The gorgeous men of ASAP were at the lobby of ELJ! Right where I could have been had I still been working in the building, haha. It would have been time for a break and I’d be headed down just at that moment! Wahahaha!

But the opening number didn’t have the ooomph that most other ASAP opening numbers have. Maybe it’s the fact that they weren’t singing live. I wish they’d stop pre-recording their songs because they don’t need too! All of them are wonderfully great singers and performers. They should be insulted that they need to pre-record. If an artist can’t sing, then don’t make them. Just have them dance and we’ll still watch them 🙂

How’s your Sunday morning viewing?

4D Stills of The Baby Boy

, 3 Comments

Updates on my Hump Day post:

I went to my previous employer today but didn’t get everything done. The signatories for the clearance weren’t all there. I’d have to go back Monday night/Tuesday morning for IT clearance, and exit interview. From there we went to the clinic handling the pre-employment medical screening for the new company. Sadly, there was a long line of patients waiting to be seen and tested. In short, we didn’t stay. Clinic hours are 7am-7pm. I’ll go towards closing time on Monday instead.

Still no new ID for me. Good news is that my pimples have quite cleared out and the breakout seems to have subsided. Woot woot! So no unsightly pimples on my ID photo 🙂 Also, no need to get acne gels anymore.

But what I’m really excited to show here are 4D stills of my nephew! My brother and sister-in-law have not locked in on a name for the Baby Boy yet, despite the many suggestions I threw at them last week. My brother’s name is Vladimir, and his wife is Diane. What do you suggest for Baby Boy?

He looks so much like his Dad on the first photo! And of course my Dad had to comment that if that were true, then it means Baby Boy looks like him too. Haha, not really. 🙂 See the boxer stance on the second picture? He was even captured opening his mouth and moving around a bit. So cute! 🙂

We’re all so excited to have you Baby Boy, see you soon! 🙂
