Just waving hello to everyone who happen to come by this blog :)  I miss blogging.. ^_^ but to blog about what? that is what I often run out of.  Any suggestions?

45 minutes ago - I started to fiddle on the keyboard, typing the title and my mind was starting to compose what to write about. Little Ea begged for my attention, a special lie on the side kind of feeding. She’s sleepy and hungry. So this article had to wait.

3 hours ago - I logged in to my Work’s Admin panel and evaluated blogs and posts. I had to catch up with the number of registrations or else they’d pile up. But I had to pause and take my lunch, in the bed, with Ea on my lap. The lunch was cold, last night’s dinner left over. No helper today. Just me, Ea and my job.

This morning - cooked some sausages for a quick breakfast. I decided not to go to Pelaez. The clouds do not look so baby friendly. I might as well stay home and get going with the backlogs. And besides going out with a baby in tow can be very bulky. I can’t imagine myself sweating out, enjoying when the baby’s gonna ask for her food any minute from then. The downside of exclusive breastfeeding, I know.

Last night - I prepared for today’s sportsfest. The shirts, socks and all. I miss going out, running under the sun, chatting with friends and officemates again after being confined at home and not seeing them for weeks and weeks.

Last week - It’s scorching hot in the totally kalat house.  Bingkai was downtown meeting Marmie. Jeedo was in the office. I was left with Ea and she was cranky because of an “increasing body temperature due to humidity”. Manual ventilation is just not enough.   I was on the pC by the sala working on some excel files, templates and reports while she had to stay in the room where the fan is.  I ran back and forth from the room to my desk.  When my work hours was over, I stayed with her on the bed.  She was crying.  So was I.  (A couple of days later, my husband bought an aircon.  One problem solved)

Last month - Our middle aged helper begged off not to work with us anymore because of her swelling knee and an upcoming trip to her hometown.  I was domestically handicapped.  SEP campers were coming, I had work backlog, a baby to feed and a husband to care for (cooking, washing and entertaining).  Bingkai came and volunteered to stay with me while yet looking for a helper.  She was my extra hand.

Four months ago - I just gave birth to a beautiful baby girl.  She was pretty, yes.  But my body was going through some enormous changes.  My clothes don’t fit me anymore.  My hair was a mess.  I felt huge and ugly and useless.  I knew I had a job to do, a house to organize (we just moved in then), breakfast-lunch-dinner to cook, but where the heck is the trash bin and the broomstick?

One year ago - He proposed.   The wedding was supposed to be by May the following year.  A month later, we found I was pregnant so we had to speed things up.  We had a wedding twice.  Civil and church.

Two years ago - I had a career ahead of me.  I was excited with the project I was given.  I started blogging, earned and saved.  Planning to go overseas.  Or perhaps travel and see the world.

Tomorrow - Fathers’ Day.

Life does not always turn out as planned.  Surprises come along the way.  Some are exciting some are quite the opposite.  But one thing is certain.  Things will always fall into place.  We may cry a bit but with love and confidence in the heart, the rewards are always fulfilling.

I think Google just did a recent PR update.. and I missed it.  I checked my blogs, both old and new and found my blogs all the more being pushed down below the SERPs.  It’s giving me some pain in the neck really.  I just don’t know what to do anymore… right, I do know what to do but.. I’m kind of.. wanting to give up on getting more inlinks to push my rank.  I’ve been away from blogging for a long while and to be honest, I’m not as zealous as I used to.  I wanted to make money out of my domains but at the same time maintain my rank.   I don’t know what’s pulling the domains further down.  As far as I know, I didn’t violate Mr. G’s rules.  I’m just plain blogging. huhuhu

Of course I’m keeping this domain.  But I’m kind, tired… waiting.. when will my site be ever back on track??

Hello hostees!

I’m very sorry if your blogs are down the whole time today. I recently renewed the domain and the hosting was moved to another server. Unfortunately, the main server was not able to fully restore the files. That was why your blogs cannot be viewed as of this moment. I’m not sure why it routes to a certain page but Jeedo is coordinating with their tech support and your blogs will hopefully be up and running by tonight.

A backup archive was used so don’t worry about your files and posts. They won’t be lost along the way… *fingers crossed* ^_^

I’ll let you all know once your sites are ready for blogging again.

Today Eklaboo is one year old. So greet her, come on!I just renewed the domain for another year, so hostees, worry not because eklaboo will stay for good. I don’t mean to exaggerate but this should call for a celebration. Should but can’t. You know why? Because today I found out the Google has penalized the site. All the PRs gone and the Alexa rank went down with it. You know why? Because they (Googlebots) are serious about penalizing sites that announces to the world their posts are paid, sponsored or something like that. They track sidebars, categories and any target links that imply you are boosting other sites by selling links. Of course I know this. I have been breathing these rules for a year now, since I was with BTOP. What I missed to realize is that the word “sponsored” is all over my subdomains. I, myself forgot to edit the sponsored link on the side bar (but I took it off just today) for another program I joined even though the term was long over due.. sheesh… me and my busy buzzy world, left my blog oh so messy. I’m cleaning up the clutter now and hopefully the domain is restored come the next update. My ranking was hard earned, if you know what I mean… and I’m just so sad knowing I have to start all over again.

Thank you Mr. Googlebot for your birthday gift to Eklaboo. You made me cry *sniff sniff* and you woke me up.

So this goes out to everyone… keep it down… don’t be too loud in doing paid posts, Mr. G-bot is lurking somewhere, ready to devour your PRs, so watch out.

Assisted Living or Assisted Living Facilities (ALF) usually refers to a non-institutionalized facility that is used by people who are not able to live on their own, but do not yet need the level of continuous nursing care that a nursing home offers.

ALF’s can be anywhere from a small residential house for 3 residents up to very large facilities providing services to hundreds of residents. Most states have enacted laws governing these facilities and have also recognized that these facilities play an important role in caring for the elderly that is not filled by the traditional nursing home or retirement home.

Limber up those tongues with our tricky tongue twister teaser for the day.

 ”MOSES SUPPOSES HIS TOESES ARE ROSES,
BUT MOSES SUPPOSES ERRONEOUSLY.

FOR MOSES, HE KNOWSES HIS TOESES AREN’T ROSES
AS MOSES SUPPOSES HIS TOESES TO BE!”

Now if you suppose your noses are roses, now that’s a different story.

Your best option would be to get a rhinoplasty! (it rhymes, hahaha!)

Who does not know him?

Known as The Poor Little Rich Boy or The Richest Kid in the World, Richie is the only child of fantastically wealthy parents. He lives and works in an expensive mansion and owns at least two of everything money could buy. He appears to be around 7-10 years old, wears a waistcoat with a white shirt with an Eton collar, which is obscured by a giant red bow tie, and blue shorts. He occasionally attends school in his hometown of Richville. Richie is portrayed as a kind young boy, not conceited despite his incredible wealth. The most important things in Richie’s life are his family and friends.

Wondering if George Lindemann Jr has the same fate as Rechie?  What do you think?

As kids, my playmates and I used to play a game called “Doctor Help”.  For as long as I could remember, doctors are often always the right person to ask for help and assistance when one is sick, needs professional medical help.

In matters about hair transplant,  Dr. Pistone is one of the best doctors to call for help. Check his site and find tips and information about bringing back the luscious locks you once have.

Living in todays world is way way complicated than how things were 50 years back.  The fast paced lifestyle, though promises success and perhaps financial fulfillment, has its own set of set backs.  There’s cancer and other illness, depression, broken relationships that all started with STRESS.

This is the very reason why no matter how focused we our on our careers, jobs or whatever goals we have in mind, it is essential to step back a bit and unwind.  Treatment centers like San Diego day spas offers one of the best stress stop over there is.  Go pamper yourself every once in a while.
