Why Do I Blog?

A lot of people is asking me why I spend time blogging for nothing. They think I would be discriminated or laughed at every time I make a post. Well, I am Asian and they believe that people from other countries would be mean to me if I would continue on blogging.

They can be right, they can be wrong as well.

I believe in any country someone will be against you or will be supporting you. I know that with my personality, my first reaction to something mean would be to get mad about it. Then, I have to think of whether I should react or detract. If it's something against my understanding or views of what is bad behavior, I would do anything just to let it out. After a few minutes of being alone, I prefer to write down what is on my mind.

Writing down helps me. It is one thing that I am free to do, same as those who would be commenting on my posts. It's the free will. I am glad I am born in a country where free will to write my thoughts are allowed.

I can choose not to be careful with what I write but I should be commenting is another thing. For one, I have all free will when I am establishing a paragraph of thoughts comparing it to writing down my comments it is a cautious writing of thoughts for I have to consider what the writer is trying to convey in her or his post.

Although I am aware that I cannot control one's comments on my blog, I completely have to take it all in me when someone is making fun at me. Let them be, as I say it always. Anyway, they will have their own experience.

As a blogger, it is so damn hard to make a good post. But as a commenter, it is so easy. Why? It is easy because you don't think more deeply in commenting. You base your comments on what you have read and the way you were able to understand it. In making a post for your blog, you take more time in thinking what to write.

Also as a blogger, whether your comments are serious or not, I would be glad to accept it. I respect your side but you should respect my side as well.

Think first before you react.

Goal: Xbox For my Nephew

My nephew, RJ, wants an Xbox. I can't give it to him right away unless he will give me good grades by the end of the school year.

The one who's wearing white is RJ, the other one is Jet. They are brothers. RJ is the eldest and he wants me to buy an Xbox for him.

Jet wants a teddy bear. I gave him a stuffed teddy bear but he wants another stuffed bear because he knew his older brother is asking for an Xbox.

Honestly, I don't have money to buy an Xbox, so if you want to give me one why not. I would be glad to accept it. That was just a joke.

I told RJ that Xbox will be given to him only if he has good grades. He will attend class and he will wake up early for school.

I think its a great deal for me also because it will give me time to save money and I know my cousin Michelle will donate some and of course their ever beautiful grandmother. I will have to tag the boys' mother, Sugar, to join the fund raising for Xbox for RJ. I will call this, Oplan: Xbox for RJ.

I am not yet a mother and I know soon I will be a mother, I think kids right now would like to have all the things in the world. For elders to not make them spoiled or something, a little game would not hurt anyone. Kids would treasure it so much if they knew they've worked hard for something.

I don't know if my assumptions are right but would it be so bad to try? To mothers who would be able to read this post, let me know how to and what to do. Do you think what I will be doing is right?

December Blog: My Wish List

I have listed my wish lists and I have to tell you, I was not able to do them all. It was so funny because I have totally switched my attention to the Davao Children Cancer Fund, Inc. and with the journey of Susan Reynolds who is currently diagnosed with breast cancer, and now that December is almost over, those whom I promised to give a gift this Christmas was asking, "Where's my gift?".

Hahahahahaahaha..... and a lot more hahahahahahaha

This was the craziest Christmas ever for me.

Well, I know it is ok for them. I have spent a lot of effort raising toys for the charity activity I organized.

I would like to thank Janette Toral personally and publicly. Thanks! Also Ms. Nancy Gilay, my office buddy. Thanks a lot gurl!

Breast Cancer

I have been following tweets from other people who talked about Susan Reynolds. She was recently diagnosed to have a breast cancer. She's not supposed to be a candidate like she said.

To read more of her article click here.

My Hubby's mother died of breast cancer. I know for sure he's not over with what happened to her. According to my hubby, he's not sure if he will ever get to accept the fact that his mother died of breast cancer. He has seen her suffer. He made it sure that he will find any Star Trek series he can find for his mother.

Her name was Judy. I haven't met Judy but she knows about me. I always wanted to go to her that day when she was in the hospital. She told my soon to be husband that if he wants to marry me she would be happy.

It wasn't easy for my soon to be husband, neither to my end. It was hard to accept it since I am so excited to meet her but she can no longer wait. But I have to be strong for my hubby is weak and one of us has to be strong.

When I got back home, I got a message saying, "She died 6am today." I felt the chill. The whole night, I kept on thinking the IFs. If I was the person who has breast cancer, what shall I do? If I have a relative who has a breast cancer, what should I do? There are a lot of IFs in my mind. And at that night, I dreamed of Judy smiling and waving at me.

I made a post before Judy died. I made a prayer for her. There were some people who gave comments to that prayer. I do hope others will offer something for Susan Reynolds too.

For Susan, and for the rest of women who are suffering from breast cancer, here's a prayer.

Dear Father,

I lift unto You Susan Reynolds, someone I do not know but she's suffering from breast cancer right now. I would want her to meet all those who prayed for her. All those who supported her. All those who will soon discover bout her situation. All those who donated frozen peas for the rest of the cancer patients.

I lift unto You a woman of courage and that she will share her courage to the rest of the breast cancer patients who are in denial.

I lift unto You her doctors, her nurses, her friends and most especially her family, to have strength to give her an all-out support.

I lift unto You the rest of the Twitter users who supported her even if they are not with her physically.

I lift all these unto You, O Lord.

Amen.

December Blog: Getting Sick During The Holidays

I have been very busy picking up gifts and wrapping them for people that are close to me. I forgot to take care of myself! Now I have to stop and have to stay in bed for a while because I have to gain back my strength.

I'm not happy being sick, it's the holidays and I need to get up and stroll to every store in town looking for some cute stuff, especially sale madness of all the malls.

Darn! This is truly not a perfect, getting sick during the holidays.

Till the next post!

A Comment from Dustin Moskovitz of Facebook.?

"Haha boy was this girl wrong!"
- Dustin Moskovitz, Co-founder of Facebook

Yesterday, I got bothered by the live traffic feed that I get for my blog. People coming in to my blog from Facebook.com and they all read or looked at this particular post;

Facebook on Blackberry US Phones...Hmm... Want Like That For My Nokia Phone in the Philippines

I wonder what happened. Later, I have an anonymous person saying;

btw, Dustin at Facebook just posted this on his Facebook profile. In his comments:

"'I know Mark Zuckerberg or even Dustin Moskovitz will not read my blog but anyway I do hope it will reach them.'

Haha boy was this girl wrong!"

And then look at the live traffic feed. I am using Feedjit.

I am sure that the person who made the comment made a link to my blog and then there you go anyone who read the comment, clicked the link. Everyone is reading the same post.

Look at visitors at this map. It says, 921 visits. I am using Hit2map this time.

Then I checked my hit2map today;

WOW! The stats say 989 visits from 921, which means 68 visits. Whether you are really Dustin or not, I am happy someone like you made that comment.

Thanks! I'm happy.
