Thirteen Things I AM CURRENTLY DREAMING ABOUT
1. Pistachio-chocolate flavored shake. Yum!
2. Spinach Lasagna of my ex-boyfriend’s mom… Mama, I want a piece of that lasagna 3. That book by Mitch Albom… For One More Day. National Bookstore does not have a stock of the paperback version yet.
4. A Motorola RAZR V3m red! Eventhough most of you would think it’s kinda old already what with the latest gadgets coming out, I still want that one.
5. Laptop!!!
6. A relaxing 3-hour spa… I think I will get a massage tomorrow 7. Go to the beach. I’ve yet to go to one.
8. Visit Bohol. I have yet to go to this beautiful place.
9. Explore Asia…
10. Particularly… Go to Japan! I want to go see those temples, cherry blossoms, kampaii with ate Ghee in Tokyo (yipee!) and go see the geisha places.
11. Go nature tripping.
12. Be carefree even for a day! No worries, no obligations… that would be helluva fun!
13. Not be an accountant anymore. So I can blog and write all I want all the time! HahahaThis is my first Thursday Thirteen post. Happy TT everyone!

I have joined Blogging to Fame! It is a contest for bloggers out there who needs to “establish their authority in the blogosphere”.

All you need to do is register your blog and that’s it! Voting begins.

Contest rules can be found here.

Notice the button on my sidebar that says “Like My Style? Fame Me!“? If you truly like my blog or me as a blogger, I’m asking you to take your time to vote for me.

***I have been so busy trying to earn some extra income to buy me a laptop. Oh, I can get it from my salary or from my savings but I don’t want to. I don’t want to incur additional expense and would rather get it out of extra income from my blogging. I know you have noticed an ‘onslaught’ of sponsored posts in my other blog. Please bear with me, friends. Read the rest of this entry »

Webhosting

A lot of blogger friends have been asking me about the webhosting plan that I got. So here’s a more detailed infomation about it.

I was actually referred by ate Nalen of Manilenya to Big Sky Media. I was planning to avail of another webhost’s services but I was given another option so I double checked everything just to be sure I am really availing of the best yet the most affordable for me.

And then I conveniently forgot about it because I was originally targeting July as the date I will buy my own domain. Until May 9th, when Cess and I chatted and well, I got all so hyped about getting my own domain. So I checked BigSkyMedia’s rates and here’s what I saw.

I chose the 100 pesos/month plan. Just imagine that, 100 pesos PER MONTH. You wouldn’t even feel that, it’s like paying for a Jollibee meal only. So the first cashout for me was 850 pesos. That’s 3 months hosting plus the 550 pesos domain name. Neat huh?

As I’ve previously mentioned, thanks to my earning from Blog to Profit because that’s where I got the moolah to pay for it. I am also planning to use future earnings to pay for my hosting.

If you want to sign up in Blog to Profit, please put my email sashashing@gmail.com in the referrer’s box. Thanks!

Alexa Redirect Train

I was tagged by Manila Mom. Thank you Maia for tagging me always. This is actually a support for my blog and I thank you for that
Anyway, this meme is supposedly aimed to increase one’s Alexa rank. I do hope this is true. Here goes…

~Start Copying Here~

Rules:

Put anything you like above this list – Chit Chat, talkies, introduce what this is. Something like that.

Start copying on the “~Start Copying Here~” and copy all the things listed without removing the links. (Of course, the train would be no use without those links.)

Move all the sites labeled “Newcomers” to the list labeled “Oldies.”

Add 5 sites that you want to include in the train and make their link like this: http://redirect.alexa.com/redirect?www.example.com then invite them to join the train.

Because I am too addicted to blogging and have been busy configuring this site for a couple of days now, I am currently sick. My world is on a different angle right now. I cannot look down or stay for a long time in front of the pc because I get this extreme headaches (naliliyo in Tagalog, I think).
But I will still bloghop but not too much.
To those I’ve promised to do one thing or another, I will do it within the week, sorry.

I have been contemplating getting my own domain for the past few weeks now. But due to budget constraints, it took me sometime to be able to finally get one.

I paid for this domain last May 10th. Due to too much kaartehan on my part, I found a theme I like after days of searching and testing. And then I changed it again! Hahaha. Oh well, you know me. I will still be blogging at akoni from time to time. I cannot leave it so easily. I love that blog so much I almost have gotten a .info domain. Plus, I have more than enough paid posts that’s needed to be done and it’ll all be posted there.

By the way, you might be asking why “Sasha says…”? I’ve been talking about my life and everything related to it online for the past 3 years now. So when I was thinking of a domain name, I thought I should get something related to my personality. And talking to people, strangers included, is something inherent in me. Something I cannot change. Thus, the domain name
I’ve merged both my blogspot and akoni posts here so when you dig into my archives, you’d find posts from both sites.

I’ve added a “What’s Hot on the Web?” page for updates on what’s the latest craze going on in the web. This is for my blogger friends and visitors who are lazy to search for these news. This will mostly be about problogging, improving site ranks, and the like.

Support my blog and increase my rank by adding me to your links and to your Technorati Favorites by clicking this button .

Thanks to BigSkyMedia for the affordable hosting plans, Blog to Profit for the income I received with the referral fee that I used to pay for this domain, Cess for asking me about bandwidth and webspace and making me all excited about a new domain of my own and for suggesting this domain name.Thanks as well to ate Nalen aka Manilenya for telling me about BigSkyMedia during our EB. To Karen, Wendy, Mousey Ju and Ate Neng for the brainstorming. Hahaha. To kuya Br. Vince who told me all about the terms I am not familiar with. To Ferdz for patiently answering my questions.And most of all… to ate Ghee for being kind enough to let me continue blogging at akoni for a while until this site’s rank become stable.

And more…

Please visit my subhosted friends… Mousey. And soon to open >> Wendy and Ate Neng.

Welcome to my new home friends! I hope you get something out of visiting this place.

I was tagged by both Tsina and Angie to write about random facts/things/habits about myself. I checked my posts because I remember I was tagged by a blogger to write about random facts about me before. And true enough, I wrote 8 of it here.

Anyway, I will do this again kasi labs ko si bunso Tsina and Angie’s a new blog friend so here goes… Tsina’s tag requires 15 while Angie’s 7. So I’m making it 20 random facts about me
1. I don’t eat melons. Or anything melon-flavored.
2. I have a short attention span. This is probably the reason why I carry and read 3 books at any given period of time. Or why when you talk to me, expect several shifts in topic. Hehehe…
3. I need two pillows under my head, a pillow for my feet and a body pillow beside me to be able to sleep well. Ang arte ko noh? 4. I am currently addicted to chocolate-pistachio-flavored shake of Fiorgelatto. Yum!
5. I’ve never been girly-girly/kikay even when I was a kid. Influenced by older male cousins, I grew up playing GI Joes, tumbang preso, patintero, agawan-base, mataya-taya, sipa and the like.
6. I love traveling, watching movies, malling and window shopping alone… Kung di ko rin lang close kasama ko, I’d rather be alone.
7. I’m not afraid of heights.
8. I am too trusting (sometimes to the point of stupidity na). I make it a point to look for something positive in a person. Minsan kahit wala, hanap pa rin I easily forgive. Can’t help it really. I’ve lived with the thought that I don’t want to die with someone hating me or vice versa. Life is short. I want to be prepared always.
9. I love Carly Simon, Bee Gees, Johnny Mathis, The Police, New Kids on the Block and everything from the 50s, 70s and 80s. I’m an old soul, too. Got it from my mom. But I also love alternative music, R&B, jazz and soul music. When I need to concentrate and really think or just calm my nerves, I listen to Enya.
10. I’m a crybaby. I cry when I hear a song reminding me of something. I cry when I see an old blogger friend who scarcely visited me for months tag or leave a comment. I cry when I watch a touching scene. What can I say, I’m a sentimental person.
11. I’m friendly, though looking at me you’d think otherwise. I look scary raw and masungit when not smiling. Pero honestly, I am a cheerful, fun-loving and kind person. Promise! Hehehe 12. I love meeting people from all walks of life, of all ages. I talk to them and make chika as if we’re of the same age.
13. I’m not a plastic person. If I like you, I’d tell everyone about it. If I don’t like you, you’d surely know it. And when I say I love you or I miss you or I want you to be my friend to anybody, I mean it.
14. I’m a Catholic, an active and practicing one, but I respect other religions and I’m open to knowing more about it. I sometimes attend Christian services with Chinese friends. I am asking a friend to bring me to a INC service as well. I would love to explore what makes their religion unique from mine.
15. I love spending time chatting with friends over a meal. Girl talks with Nona… chats with ate Ghee, Amby, mareng Ju and Inay… And I will never forget the Sunken Garden chikahan with Cai and Des And of course, the Padi’s EB with ate Ghee, Nona and kuya 16. I speak my mind and sometimes it gets me in trouble. Hay…
17. I would love to have more shobes and bunsos and kuyas and ates and titas and titos online and offline.
18. I have a cellphone accessory slippers and a pair of slipper earrings. Sana someone will give me a slipper pillow or anything resembling a slipper 19. I’m an Accountant by profession, a homebody, a moonlighting romance novelist, a geek, a good daughter and a great ate to my siblings. A good friend.
20. Lives by this golden rule: Do not do unto others what you don’t want others to do unto you. Karma is true and it can either be good or bad, depending on one’s past actions.

I hope I didn’t bore you, friends
Happy Tuesday everyone! God bless!
