Entrecard Drop List

I drop cards everyday. I try to maximize the 300 drops limit of Entrecard and almost always, I reach it. But well, I am sure just like me, you also get disappointed when your drops are not reciprocated. So I am making my very own Drop List. I am hoping that the list I will create will have bloggers who really embrace “U Drop I Follow”.

Please leave your Blog Name and URL at the comments section of this entry and I will include you in my list. I assure you I will visit you daily

This list will be for my three blogs: Sasha says, My Own Utopia and Splotches.

That would be 3 drops for you already.

If I reach the 100th blog, I will create a file that you can also use (if you want) to make dropping easier for you. You only need Firefox and your bookmarks folder and you are good to go.

Food Friday: Home-made Spaghetti

Pardon the quality of the photo, I took this shot using my old phone camera and I was so hungry already my hands were shaking *lol*

We are a family who loves to eat pasta. There are days when dinner would be just pasta and some garlic bread. My sister cooked this one and it may not look good in the photo but trust me, it was delicious! We love our spaghetti a bit sweet and spicy. And sis does just that. Plus she makes our garlic bread and it is yummy as well!

Made me soooo hungry looking at this one. Will eat champorado in a while. That would be my next Food Friday entry

Happy Friday everyone!

Upgrading to WordPress 2.5

Bluehost’s Fantastico does not have yet the latest version of WordPress. I have yet to upgrade to the latest version, I am still using WP 2.3.3 which is really great with uploading photos in your posts. I have read mixed reactions to WP 2.5 that’s why I held off upgrading. Sure it looks a lot sexier than the old dashboard but I don’t know. My other blogs are already using the 2.5 version but I find it confusing than the old one. Or maybe I haven’t explored it yet.

Anyway, let me know your thoughts on the latest version.

BEWARE of Blog-for-Bucks!!!

I know several bloggers have been contacted by either Michelle Go, a certain Skylar Sinclaire or now, someone using the name Jean Carrey. They are offering link orders at $5 per link for a monetizing program named Blog-For-Bucks (blog-for-bucks.com). I was able to do link orders for them in another blog of mine. My sister was able to do one set of orders for them. Both payments were delayed but it was okay. The delay was just over two weeks.

Then my cousin did 3 links for them. After he submitted the links to Skylar, he was promised payment after three weeks. Fine with him because there are other programs paying a month after. The day of the supposed remittance, he did not receive any payment, not even an email explaining why they cannot remit payment on that day. After two days, he emailed Skylar asking for an explanation why the $15 (YES, FIFTEEN FREAKING DOLLARS!) was not yet remitted to him. No email. Nothing. After a few days, another email. And then he sent an email directly to blog-for-bucks via their submission form on their homepage. No response. NOTHING.

And then I thought of emailing Michelle Go because she was the one who contacted me before. I received a response two days after from Jean Carrey (notice the similarity of the name to a famous Hollywood comedian). She said that apparently, Skylar resigned already and they cannot access his email. Yeah, right! Skylar is using [email protected] so you know right away that they can easily manipulate this email at their cpanel. Jean/Michelle is using a gmail account ([email protected]).

I am just angry on my cousin’s behalf because for $15 they are shortchanging him of what’s due him. And you know what, my cousin emailed them SEVERAL TIMES! I don’t know what kind of a company this Blog-For-Bucks is but I tell you, BEWARE OF THEM! Sa $15 nanloloko na sila ng blogger, what more kung mas malaki pang amount!

BEWARE OF BLOG FOR BUCKS!

Before I forget…

HAPPY 5th BIRTHDAY WORDPRESS!

I prefer WordPress over Blogger. The latter may be simpler and easier and caters to blogger newbies out there, but for me WordPress is still the better platform, even for newbies. Everything I know about CSS I learned because of WordPress.

So a big THANK YOU and more years of WordPress to come!

Weekend Snapshot #22 - David

Meet David, my new laptop. I bought him around two weeks ago. The specs are great. Enough for me to start doing some graphics I am still in the process of installing programs I need and transferring files from my desktop.

Anyway, David is taking up a lot of my time. Still tinkering with it and enjoying every minute of it.

Happy weekend everyone!

Latte shot

I am thinking of different categories for this blog. Something akin to what Lorelle has. Only 4 main categories. I might have more than that, but what I currently have.

The first category I thought of is CAFFEINE FIX. This category will be a catch-all for those entries I cannot put under the specific ones I am thinking of.

Is your head aching, brain hurting and your body just not cooperating? A good caffeine fix will do you a world of good.

Good conversation is as stimulating as black coffee, and just as hard to sleep after.

Food Friday: Charlie Chan Chicken Pasta

Whenever we eat at Yellow Cab, we always order Charlie Chan Chicken Pasta. It is a spicy pasta with mushroom, chicken and nuts. I love its spicy flavor. I am not normally crazy about nuts in my food except to eat it separately or with kare-kare but with Charlie Chan…

A box is intended for 2-3 people. But if you have a big appetite, well, you can eat it all alone. My brother can
