Pleasantly surprising blogger comments

Have you noticed how exciting it is to receive comments from bloggers who are up there in the blogosphere ladder? Well, I got two last week from someone I have been reading about for so long already. She is one of the first “blogger-celebrities” that I got to know when I started blogging myself. I was pleasantly surprised how simple and sincere her comments were. To say I was thrilled when I read the URL of the commentator is an understatement. It actually made my day!

Do you also feel the same way when you receive comments from bloggers you consider celebrities?

Technorati Authority

The Technorati Authority has been fluctuating like crazy for the past few weeks now. It has become unstable. One day you get a really high authority. The next day it drops down by 5 or more points. I wonder what’s happening. I have been experiencing this fluctuation for quite some time now. Not just with this blog but with my other blogs as well. It gets frustrating when you really look into it. I ping my blogs and if there is no change at all, I email Technorati support. But well, it happens again and again.

Have you noticed this one as well?

Win people to your way of thinking

1. The only way to get the best of an argument is to avoid it.
2. Show respect for the other person’s opinions. Never say, “You’re wrong.”
3. If you are wrong, admit it quickly and emphatically.
4. Begin in a friendly way.
5. Get the other person saying “yes, yes” immediately.
6. Let the other person do a great deal of the talking.
7. Let the other person feel that the idea is his or hers.
8. Try honestly to see things from the other person’s point of view.
9. Be sympathetic with the other person’s ideas and desires.
10. Appeal to the nobler motives.
11. Dramatize your ideas.
12. Throw down a challenge.

Independence Day

Tomorrow will be the Philippine’s Independence Day. It is supposed to be a holiday but due to GMA’s holiday economics, the holiday was moved to last Monday. Since last Monday was a holiday, it was a long weekend here in the Philippines. I am sure a lot of people went out and had fun.

Wait! Aren’t we supposed to celebrate Independence Day last Monday? Or will you just do it tomorrow?

Don’t forget to raise your flags and show everyone you are proud of our country.

Happy Independence Day to all the Filipinos out there!

Out of sorts

Please bear with my 2-day absence from Entrecard dropping. I have been taking care of my brother’s college school supplies and is quite busy with last minute shopping. Yesterday, we were out to visit my mom’s grave. Since it will take us a bit of time to visit her grave because of school and work, we opted to go visit her yesterday, being a holiday and all. Tomorrow, my brother and I will be going to buy him school shoes. Last Sunday when we went to the mall, he did not find anything to his fancy so we’ll be off to hunt for the pair of shoes tomorrow.

Normal EC dropping will resume by tomorrow night.

Have a great week everyone!

Weekend snapshot

I will not be participating in this week’s Weekend Snapshot. I have a lot of things to do and there was no time to shoot and all. I will be joining by next week and will be posting pictures of my new place here at home. We will be buying a new desk for the laptop and the desktop tomorrow and will be arranging my stuff a bit. I have a lot of files lying around and I have a bit of a mess here.

Anyway, I will show you my new “work place” here at home in my next WS entry. Till then…
