Im going to do a little spring cleaning on my blogs. Trying to optimize it and just have it all more organized. Im trying to take advantage of my T3 connection at work before I leave *sniff sniff*.

Do you have any recommended plugins I can actually make use of? I really want the “related” plugin and favicon Caryl is using but cant make it to work on my blogs. Help anyone? Ill be sending an email to mommy bloggers I know of who I see some cool plugins I can use.

Im on shitty graveyard shift tonight so maybe I can just blog blog blog.

Oh, and on another note, if you need home improvement articles and ideas, stop by the directbuy blog. I swear it has made me itch to spring clean whatever home we will have. Heehee

Since Edil’s company issued them SUN phones, we decided to get for the two of us as well (so we can give one for Matthew), since we dont have a landline anymore and we anticipate more calls when we move, definitely.

So my trusty (old, phased out) Nokia 1110i will be my back up for my existing number (I love that too much to let it go. Besides, the SUN phone is for SUN users din para tipid). My SUN number is unique too, since the network is still growing, you get to choose the number you want din!

I wanted to have the Samsung E250 but Edil was making pa-cute na sa kanya na lang daw un, so fine. Im sure the slide feature will not be lost on Martha and it will be broken anyways. Plus di talaga ako mahilig sa cellphones. (I reasoned I have the laptop anyways so kanya na yun mwehehehe).

So I got the Nokia2630 in black. I like the sleek design, the radio, the camera is so-so. But at least there are themes! Guess what my theme is?! Heehee.

Nah.
Martha is my wallie but White Love Story is my ring tone and the La La La Love is my message alert

Im still compiling pictures of Gong Yoo for my GIF kasi.
(Pinapagawa ko lang lahat yan ke Edil, di ako marunong sa ganyan eh!)

Hindi na jologs cellphone ko
Hahahaha!
I think Glo would be so happy to hear that!

I was literally laughing from Jen’s comment on this post. So Litzie asked me to explain about it in a different post. So here I am.

Borrowing from this post:

And this year, she gets Gloria (Yes Mare, she will have your name – I will call her
“G” for short. She will be my lakwatsera since I wont be going anywhere as we will be living simply when I stop working, o diba? Connect lahat!). I hope I wont get Gloria when she’s five years old already though, hahahaha!!!!! (I think that’s the main material goal for me this year).

So here she is:

It’s a Dell Inspiron 1525.

Here are its specs:
Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T5450 (1.66GHz/667Mhz FSB/2MB cache)
Vista
2GB RAM
120GB HD
CD / DVD Writer (DVD+/-RW Drive)
15.4 Anti glare screen
Webcam, bluetooth, LAN
Intel® 3945 802.11a/g Mini-card
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100
Integrated Sound Blaster Audigy

Not that much but I think she will keep me happy for a looong time

Im addicted to web statistics. As a paid blogger (and someone who stalks people who stalk her), I want to know where all my hits are coming from.

You better have Google Analytics installed in your blogs – NOW. I know I have told most of you who are into paid blogging to get that code. But wait, there is more. Better actually. Try Get Clicky. You will see who viewed your site, how long, which entry she read, how many times she visited your blog! AMAZING! (So you know I’ll be watching )

And then, go ahead and use Simple Tags. You can view the plugins I love here. I personally love the Simple Tags because it tags your entries and makes them more searchable in Technorati! My blog has been searched and indexed using “body wave” and “curls” and “wife stories” (Well, come to think of it, this blog is more Mommy Stories than Wife Stories, LOL). This post has more than a few hundred views already.

BACK UP.

Seriously. I would have lost $50.00 today if I didn’t have a back up of my posts. A paid post was migrated during the host transfer and was rejected earlier. Fortunately, I still have a copy of the post in my old host server.

BACK UP.

I hope I get paid today. LOL.

I have so many plans in the works but I have not been working towards any of them for the past two weeks because of some issues that really disheartened and demotivated me. Let’s just say I lost big money – in $$ – and all that was really really hard honest work. BUT, things may seem unfair for now, but it has made me realize all things are temporary, and that one must always be prepared if something like that happens. Most of you do not know but my mom no longer has work, Abbie’s resignation is effective on June 30, and that means major expenses will now be shouldered by me and Edil. We are not earning big to support a household of 9-10 people, with a toddler involved, so there will be major revisions to financial budgeting next month. This month has not been nice, financially speaking, as we would always run out of money a week before payday hits, and that’s when the gas would run out, the kids get sick, or something comes up. Totally not funny. Nakakasakit sa ulo. LOL.

You may ask, “What the hell is she doing now? She should blog more than ever to make money!!”. Yes, I should. But the long term goal here is to write quality posts which would result to a quality blog. I want to expand my readership base and have a target market so Im going to be keeping this blog to mommy and wife entries – parenthood, education, mommy tales, experiences. Of course there are still the posts about ME – and that’s where girl talk comes in.

With this said, Im opening up my blog for a link exchange for mommies and wives (and brides to be). Please leave a comment if you want to get linked and Ill link you up after checking if the link exchange has been done.

Note: Bebots, this will be a new blogroll for me, so if you want to get linked, just leave me a comment. It’s perfectly OK to get linked twice, more the better, since it will help in page rank updates. I *highly* encourage everyone to do this, most especially if you do paid blogging.

And let me know OK?

Before I drown you all with my dozen posts , Ill just do my assignment and get all the tagging done . I was tagged by Mai and Mich regarding the Alexa train. If you are like me who is into paid blogging, having a nice Alexa rank will let you command higher pay. If you notice my Alexa score at the bottom left sidebar on my blog, it is currently at 176,010. Last February, it was still around 690,00+++. In just two months, it has gone down to 75% already and continues to go down .

If you would like to jump in on the train, please do. Id also like to recommend that you do the Do-Follow list too. If you have a Blogger, there are instructions on how to get rid of the no-follow code here.

The Dell Inspiron E1705

I was bored, because I had to report for work on a Saturday so me and Edil talked over YM and browsed possible ideas for bookcase designs and a laptop. So we “assembled” that one that you see. With the decline of the dollar, it makes things cheaper. I hope by the end of the year, I can buy one. I plan to buy it in full – CASH – since I dont want to be burdened with payments. Soon, I hope, soon. Blogging money will give that to me!

Here are the specs (for the geeks):
Intel® Core™ DUO T2350 (1.86GHz, 2MB L2 Cache, 533MHz FSB), FREE Upgrade to Genuine Windows Vista™ Home Premium with 1GB of memory
