Niches I picked where of course those that I find personally interesting. I still prefer writing from a personal point of view with lots “I’s” in it. Anyway, setting up has been a slow thing since there were lots of things to distract me (namely, FB, chatting etc..) plus I am still adjusting to the way life goes here in Phnom Penh. Lately, though I’ve been on a blogging roll, so I finished setting up the first two..

One, I’ve already mentioned a few posts ago – Lui-Bloggera. This blog is mainly about trends. It’s one of my favorite pastimes – trendhunting! So, this site will be featuring the latest on fashion, entertainment, people, luxury, technology, sports and other things I find weird, unique, interesting. As I’ve said, this is where I’ll be indulging my gossiping propensities. Anyway, here’s a peek at this new site..Your comments, suggestions and link exchange requests are very much welcome..

The second one is called – Feminine Reveries and its all about what we women likes talking about.. It’ll include posts on beauty, fashion, health and fitness, dating, relationships and marriage, career and education and more things about women..This is still new with just a couple of updates thrown in so I’d appreciate comments and visits and also link ups =)

Anyway, do drop by her blog. It’s a great read and she has really lovely lovely photographs of Cambodia and places she has visited. Yes, she’s my friend and I think I’ve mentioned before that I knew her through blogging and I’ve met her a few months back but I’ve been hooked reading her blog entries much longer than that. Do visit..

Blog award mechanics. Oops, this award comes with some strings attached, hmm? The recipient is asked to reveal seven things about her/himself. Ok, (you can hear me heaving a sigh of relief now..) it’s not really requiring me to recite tongue twisters while rolling my eyes and dancing to the tune of Lambada (grrr I super hate this song..). Hehe, just 7 things about me..

• I was born and raised in Albay Province, Philippines. So that makes me a true-blooded Bicolana. Uragon ( Bicol term meaning – a live-wire, go getter, a fighter) ako noh!

• I love watching Korean/Japanese movies/dramas. Mainly for the cinematography and I love hearing spoken Korean/Japanese language. And for some really really poignant stories..

• I am an experimental cook and my husband is my ‘guinea pig’. So far, he hasn’t been poisoned or rushed to the hospital because of my cooking.  And I do turn up some delicious stuff every now and then.

• I’m a shop o’ holic. Shopping and bargain hunting is a favorite pastime.

• I love the beach and nature. I grew up in a farm and we were just a 5-minutes walk away from the beach.

• I love playing tickle-till-you-surrender games with Chinks and Hi-ace. I always end up the loser.

• I’m addicted to taking strolls, long walks and soaking the atmosphere of every place I visit. When I travel you can usually find me in a market, a corner cafe just sitting and observing how life is for the locals.

I’m passing on the award to.. (I can’t come up with 15, so here’s some of my favorite reads..)

• I Love/Hate America - thought provoking yet very sensible posts from Bingkee. Always worth the visit..

• A Simple Life – I love Liza’s practical tips and tidbits of her life she constantly posts.

• Buhay sa Korea – a Filipina’s insights and experiences while living in Korea. Very informative and entertaining posts..

• Taxi Diary – Inspiring, moving stories. This is one of my absolute reads. The author even got publishing deals from his blog. I’m not sure he’ll post this but his blog is definitely going to my beautiful blogger award.

• Life of a Breadwinner - informative posts, places and events and best of all, very nice blogger =)

• American in Davao – unique insights to Filipino culture and tradition. A very interesting read.

• Coriander Dreams – laid back and personal. that’s how I would describe Coriander Dreams..She’s also into traveling which makes her blog all the more interesting.

• Brown Pinay – another favorite. Read on her latest experiences, tips, opinions and more.

And don’t forget the blog award mechanics..

1. Thank & link the person that gave you the award.
2. Pass this award onto 15 bloggers you’ve recently discovered and think are fantastic.
3. Contact said Blogs and let them know they’ve won.
4. State 7 things about yourself.

I’ve forgotten that this domain – Pinaywifespeaks, I have registered elsewhere,then transfered to Hostgator. I haven’t been checking my email and Hostgator has been emailing me about the expiring domain. Then I checked the site last Monday coz my cousin said something weird was coming out when she types in my URL, and my blog site was replaced by a webpage selling adult toys and photos. Hehe so this sent me in a panic mode, and I was thinking, ‘Has my site been hacked?? Who would even bother to hack this?’

I then contacted Hostgator’s 24/7 tech support and you can imagine my relief when they said that its simply a case of the domain expiring. Ok, I just love Hostgator’s support team. They are very accommodating and patient in guiding a semi-crazy person like me. I’m not very familiar with renewing domains and billing with Hostgator but the guy from tech support guided me all throughout. Few minutes and less than $20 later, I had my domain back. Whew! I should really set a reminder about this. I’ll probably be putting this on auto-renewal mode so this won’t happen again.

Sadly, the past year, it doesn’t really have much to offer in terms of good opps not just in price but the sites that are offered for review. I’m quite picky when it comes to websites that I link to. So I found myself doing less and less work for them.

Anyway, yesterday I decided to check out what’s new with their site and lol! I was really surprised with the offers there. $.50 for a post? And they have a lot of requirements aside from the link! And they also have the nerve to demand PR3 or higher..Is it really that cheap? I realize that we are in dire times now, the marketplace is brimming with more bloggers waiting to write review but come on! $.50???

It’s not like I’m asking for payment enough for me to take florida vacations (but that’s okay too..), but those prices are simply too cheap. I know I can’t do anything about it, its their company’s decision to do that, but I won’t be writing reviews for them anymore. Not really a loss, as I have some more much reliable blog for reviews company who offer regular opportunities at fair prices.

Anyway, here’s an interesting one I found somewhere. Some questions sounds like you’re in a beauty contest or something lol! I won’t be tagging anyone but if you find the questions interesting, fee free to grab it and answer. I’d love to read your answers to this too.

If you were to die this evening with no opportunity to communicate with anyone, what would you most regret not having told someone?

No. I’d rather not. Why should I allow someone be on agony knowing I’ll be dead? On the other hand, if there is someone who hates me really badly and wants to see me die, I’ll probably tell them, at least somebody will be happy I won’t be around. Although, no one has come to hate me that much yet.

If a new medicine were developed that would cure arthritis but cause a fatal reaction in 1 percent of those who took it, would you want it to be released to the public?

All things have their bad sides and I guess as long as there is an explicit warning of its possible fatal effects, why not if it could save lives too?

If you were able to live to the age of 90 and retain either the body or the mind of a 30-year-old for the last 60 years of your life, which would you want?

I would want to retain my 30-year old MIND. Dyusko! I’m trying to rid myself of excess fats nga so I wouldn’t want to have this body for the next 60 years of my life. And besides, even if I had a to-kill for body, what use would it be if I have a useless mind?

If at birth you could select the profession your child would eventually pursue, would you do so?

No way. I love what I’m doing now and I’d like my child to have the same happy experience in finding whatever profession she can be happy with. There are lots of people earning lots of moolah but they are unhappy. I’d much rather settle for something that can earn me just a decent income and enjoying it too rather than something that can earn me millions and make working daily an excruciating experience. So, I’d want my child make her own choices.

If you knew there would be a nuclear war in one week, what would do? (you can’t stop it)

I could do two things. One is to figure out how to survive it. I also have to learn, if I survive it how would it affect me? I mean, would I be grossly disfigured or what? If I’ll survive with only my torso intact, I think I’d much prefer not to survive.  The second thing, I’d do is party like there is no tomorrow. Do happy things, be with family.

Would you accept twenty years of extraordinary happiness and fulfillment if it meant you had to die at the end of the period?

Nope. Disappointments, sad things, well, I think these make life more special. Not that I like being unhappy, its simply like, to appreciate happiness you got to experience some sadness. I’d much rather go through life with its regular ups and downs. If there is happiness all the time, how could I even appreciate it if I don’t know what sadness feels like?

If the person you were engaged to marry had an accident and became a paraplegic, would you go through with the marriage or back out of it?

Yes I would. When I commit, I commit. It would take a lot more than that to stop me from marrying someone I love.

Someone very close to you is in pain, paralyzed, and will die in a month. They beg you to give them poison so they that they can die. Would you?

I probably would. I can’t stand anyone I love suffer and if I was the one suffering I’d expect my loved ones to do the same. I know some are against this but I’d much rather see them in peace than see them in too much pain.

Given the choice of anyone in the world, who would you want as your dinner guest? as a close friend? as a lover?

Close friend? My college buddies, Yese and Tins. We still are in touch but I just wish we are geographically close to each other. I haven’t seen both of them in years so I’d want to have them for dinner. As a lover? I always have one at dinner (Hi-ace) but since these are all hypothetical and I’m pretty sure Hi-ace is not looking over my shoulders right now and would unlikely read this (he’s awfully busy..), so I’d like to have Gong Yoo (that hot Korean actor!) or Jude Law (my idea of an ultimate hunk) for dinner.

What is the worst psychological torture you can imagine suffering? (it cannot involve any physical harm to you)?

Not having any means of communication and not having a computer, mobile phone and internet connection. Seriously, this would make me go nuts! Sure you can say I’m a total geek and I don’t even mind or care.

You and a person you love deeply are placed in separate rooms with a button next to each of you. You know that you will both be killed unless one of you presses the button before 60 minutes pass; furthermore, the first to press the button will save the other person, but will immediately be killed. What do you think you would do?

Arrggh! What kind of questions are these anyhow? Ok since I started this.. Well, I’d probably figure out first if there is any way we could both get out of there alive. It’s worth a try anyway. If there is no way, then I’d press my button.

Would you be willing to go to a slaughterhouse and kill a cow?

If I have absolutely no choice or there is a phone check for me to cash out with maybe nine zeros on it . But seriously, just as I could just pay someone to mow the lawn, fix the gutter, I’d really prefer it if somebody else was doing the slaughtering. Or maybe I’d turn vegetarian..

For $20,000 would you go for 3 months without washing, brushing your teeth, and using deodorant? Assume you could not explain your reasons to anyone, and there would be no long-term effect on your career. (you are not choosing one, you would have to go without all three).

Ew! No sorry. I’d find other ways to earn that but please I really can’t stand not washing, brushing or using a deo for even a day. And that’s 3 months! It’ll surely be the end of me.

Which of these restrictions could you best tolerate: leaving the country permanently or never leaving the state in which you now live?

Leaving the country permanently. That is if and only if I will leave and go back to the Philippines. I love it here in Phnom Penh, but if I’ve got no choice but to leave, then …

If you could choose the sex and physical appearance of your soon-to-be-born child, would you do it?

No. My genes are fine as it is. No use meddling with it. And besides, Chinks turned out to be more wonderful than I’ve ever imagined. Hi-ace and I must be a good genetic match hehe.

If your friends and acquaintances were willing to bluntly tell you what they really think of you, would you want them to?

What?? They usually tell me what is wrong with me, I mean my friends. They constantly tell me I need to lose weight which is more often than I really want..

Would it disturb you much if, upon your death, your body were simply thrown into the woods and left to rot?

No. Really. Funerals are expensive and besides I’m dead so I couldn’t even give a hoot! I’d much prefer it if I be cremated or if that is still expensive well they can just throw me over a ravine.

Would you like to know the precise date of your death?

No. I’d much prefer that to be a surprise. Knowing that leaves the excitement out.

Would you be willing to give up all television for the next 5 years if it would induce someone to provide for 1,000 starving children in Indonesia?

I’m sure the time I spend watching TV would not really induce anyone to do such an altruistic mission since I am a nobody. But since the question has been asked, well, I don’t really watch much TV so stopping TV watching for the next 5 years would not really be difficult for me.

14. Was today better than yesterday?

15. Can you live a day without TV?
Yes. I rarely watch TV now.

16. Are you upset about anything?
No errr a bit annoyed but not really upset. I’m just freaking out with the noise coming from our neighbor. They had been constructing their huge house for several months now and the noise coming from saws, drills or whatever thingies they use just annoys me no end.

Another thing I don’t like about the MetNet billing system is that you can’t check how much bandwidth you have already consumed and you simply have to take their word for how much your bill is. That is really hard to swallow for a conscentious consumer like myself. They just text you like, “Ok Customer____, Your bill for October is $___. Please pay by ___.” They don’t even mention how much MB/GB of bandwidth i have consumed so I am really doubtful now about the service.

I’m thinking now of changing my plan to just the 128kpbs but with unlimited upload/download for only $35, instead of the current one I’m using (256/2.5GB upload/download). Or if they can’t present me with detailed listing of my consumption when I go to their service center, then I’m considering terminating my subscription. Their service is okay, there are downtimes but nothing that can interfere with my work, what really just totally gets to my nerves is their billing system.

I feel highly doubtful about how much I consume coz for the past two months I’ve been strictly monitoring my usage with a bandwidth monitor. Last month my monitor says I have consumed 1.9GB less than the limit but my bill came in $75 when its supposed to be $35. So I called their customer service center and has been passed on from one person to another without getting any answer. I’ve also asked if its possible for me to check my bandwidth consumption online (like QBMore) but they don’t have that kind of facility. They really just expect you to pay whatever they say. I’m really okay with paying no matter how much as long as I am sure that is how much I have used..

You can say I’m really frustrated and I feel like digging my heels and delaying paying for their charge until they could give me an itemized report of my bill. Still, I work online, I have heaps of writing to submit, blogs to update, emails to check, people to keep up with. You know I should be searching for stuff about auto insurance quote now, but I just can’t coz I’m feeling really stubborn.

I’m thinking of just paying it next month just to show them that I am seriously irked. Grrr!!! I really thought this is the service for me, but it seems you really can’t just have everything.

So I began my day about five a.m. and been checking emails, doing some server checking, backing up. Then I moved on to any posting assignments I have for the day and do some research. I also checked all my sites for comments pending approval, replies etc. Then I moved on to some personal emails and I ended up clicking on some ads on the newsletter on my inbox.

Which led me to surfing different sites when what I’m really supposed to do was look for info about mesothelioma but I ended up searching for scripts to run a wallpaper site. Close huh? I decided to take a coffee break around eight a.m and when I got back I told myself, “No more wandering around! Stick to the task..”

So here I am on my WordPress dashboard typing away and not actually saying much. Hehe but in case you noticed I’ve accomplished the task..

I am also in the midst of working on several different web projects. Some blogs and a full blown website so its taking a lot of my time. I’m spending about 12-14 hours in front of the PC even forgetting to eat sometimes which is simply not healthy but I console myself by thinking I don’t have to rush around looking for the best fat burner just to get rid of my scary love handles.

Tomorrow I’ll have a bit of time to relax and take some rest as the projects are almost done and its holiday here so hubby and Chinks don’t have school (meaning I could get lots of help around the house ).

Will update the soonest..

My ad spot banner page (which has been hibernating for awhile) would also be up soon as well as a new downloadables page where I’ll be adding free ebooks for grabs. Mostly recipes, home tips and blogging tricks that I hope some of you would find useful.

I’m also updating my blog categories as well as tags (:D aiming for good SEO and I feel the need to organize the ‘mess’ my blog is..). I’ve decided not to put the site on maintenance mode so you’d still be able to access it but please cut me some slack if some things might look a bit weird from time to time.

I have this weird liking for sorting through junk (esp. hubby’s junk ) and I could really do well running a junk shop. Anyway, hubby does a fine job collecting whatever parts, tools and junk like plastic knobs, nails etc.

If I had my way, I’d throw it all out of course but we both agreed to have a good place for them so it won’t clutter our stock room. The job was all done yesterday so now I’m back to blogging with a vengeance. I’m also hoping I could get back to my blog networking with other bloggers. I haven’t been doing much hopping and commenting due to ISP constraints.

I’m hardly an expert in WordPress, in fact after a year of using it, I still have a lot to learn. One particular thing I love WordPress is the multitude of plugins available to add  this and that to you blog. Its one of the things that makes WordPress really a standout as a CMS, not just as a blogging platform. Plugin developers also extend great support, but if I can’t find any solution to my WordPress debacles, the codex and the forums is where I can easily turn to for answers.

Just like this weekend, I had my WordPress installation upgraded to the latest version 2.8. For reviews of WP version 2.8 you can find good reads here, here and here. Though the version doesn’t offer gigantic changes from the previous versions, I still decided to upgrade because the changes to the widget admin area I find particularly helpful.

The only problem was that, after upgrading to the latest version and viewing my blog, presto! all my sidebars were gone. All widgets in the admin area were still there, so I wondered what went wrong again. I changed my theme thrice, the same thing happened. That’s why this site was in maintenance mode for 24 hours. I’ve checked out the forums for what went wrong and hmm, it must be the plugins. But which one? Geez, I’m using almost 30 plugins and now I have to sift through all of them, deactivate, reactivate one by one. know there is a tool to check, but there was a time it failed me so I decided to do it one by one. It turned out the plugins I installed for the photo galleries were not up to the current version yet.

Thank God, everything is up and running now. And of course, I’ve given Pinaywifespeaks a new “attire” with a new theme – Atahualpa with custom rotating headers. I just love this WP theme it can be easily be customized with more than 200 elements you can tweak and you can completely modify the look of your blog withouh much HTML or CSS knowledge. I’m so enamored with this theme, I’ve even used it also on my latest blog about Asia asia – Pinkchopsticks.

So now everything is working well and good but I still need to find a photo gallery plugin that would suit what I have in mind (if you know of a nicely styled gallery plugin, drop me a note ^o^). I have a free ad spot banner page which I keep promising myself I would update real soon plus I already have some new free banner graphics up for grabs so I have to upate it soon enough. More work to do..

Curious at the title? What does a bathroom and blogging have to do with each other. I know I’ve been neglecting my blogs for a couple of weeks already.  For one thing, I don’t have yet a reliable internet connection at home. ISP’s here charge astronomical fees for not so good services. My complaints about about internet services here in Phnom Penh is really enough to fill several post.

I digressed.. Another reason I’ve not been blogging aside from the ISP concerns, a busy schedule, is that I’ve broken a toe when I slipped in the bathroom. So it’s the bathrooms fault I haven’t updated my blogs as much as I needed to..hehe.Not only did I slip, but a big bottle of shampoo fell on my toenail so now I’m also holding a funeral for my toenail. Grrr! The pain was really excruciating and for several days I’ve been in agony lazing about the house unable to do much.

I often thought bathroom safety products doesn’t really have much use. Serious injuries can occur in the bathroom and well, I’ve learned that lesson the hard way. Bathrooms should be safe to use particularly if there are children and elderly in the house. After the incident, we have taken to installing safety grab bars and non-slip mats on the bath.

Now I’m pretty much back to normal except for my dead toenail, I’m good to go now. We’re planning a weekend trip to the southern coast of Cambodia and thankfully my toe is all healed enough for me to go.

There are literally thousands of themes out there with new ones being lauched everyday that I found it so hard to choose. Would you believe it took me two days just to decide which one to load up? I finally chose the Statement theme by BlogOhBlog. I like the look of it, with posts highlighted and the clean, sleek lines.

This is the 3rd time this blog changed “clothes”. I love tweaking my themes and I usually end up messing things but I don’t mind coz I learn something along the way.. (Mostly to back up in case I really mess up lol!). The first theme I ever used was the Inbiz theme which stayed for more than six months, then last October I shifted to the Blue Grey theme, and now the Statement theme..

This made me reminisce how this blog used to look like…

So, how’d you find the new look?

Notepad is also one of my bestfriends. When I’m surfing the net I would always have my Notepad open to jot down interesting sites, news and possible posting ideas. For the past year that I have been blogging I have accumulated a smorgasboard of notes, and managed to fill up three small notebooks.

I’ve started making this list about some personal stuff I would want to write about. These are all just random, simple and cutesy topics but writing about them would reveal a bit more of the real person behind the blogger. For personal bloggers who are experiencing some lack of blogging inspiration, check out the list, it might prompt some ideas.

I really thought it would be nerve wracking to transfer this site to another host. That is one of the reasons I held back from getting a new host even if I really needed to. I read a lot of posts saying that transferring host can be a headache so when the decision was made, my brain kept cooking up scenarios of my blog being lost with no back-ups. Hehe overactive imagination on my part.

There are lots of web hosting providers out there and I had a hard time deciding which one I’d choose. A lot of my online friends recommended Hostgator so I checked out their hosting plans. The plan prices, features are almost identical to all other hosts I checked the difference though is that  they accept Paypal payments, you have the option to make monthly, 2 and 3 year payments, and what clinched the deal? They offer free site transfer ( free domain transfer, free file transfer, free MySQL transfer, free Script Transfer).

As of this time I am really satisfied with the way they handled the transfer. I just submitted a ticket, less than an hour I got a response for my confirmation to go ahead and in less than 12 hours my site was successfully transferred!

My father arrived from Bicol and I had to bring him to Camp Crame because he had to process something about his pension and retirement benefits. I am really sad that at his age (he’s almost 80) he still had to come a long way just to get the benefits owed to him. I have a lot to say about my dad and other police retirees pursuit to have their pensions adjusted and received so I’m reserving those thoughts for another post.

Chinks also decided to go on vacation in Bicol and I didn’t have the heart to refuse her asking to spend sometime with the grandparents since well soon be leaving for Phnom Penh. Not having my daughter around made me a bit depressed so I am so thankful for mobile phones and web cams.

Hi-ace is about to defend his dissertation tomorrow and the past few days has been a doubly hectic time for us. Being the “supportive, understading and  wife” that I am  I helped him out with countless revisions, proofreading, and printing I’ve already sworn, I won’t ever take up graduate studies just to avoid the pain of writing a thesis. After that I was so sleepy, weary and tired to the bones.

It was just last night I got the chance to check my sites and darn it! I can’t access my site and cpanel. I’ve exceed my bandwidth and my site has been in twilight zone since the 25th. That was a 6 day vacation and whew! I checked my traffic rankings   and the results were a bit depressing too..

I don’t want to dwell on it anymore. Priorities are priorities and as of this time, I will soon be able to fix the hosting and bandwidth concerns, will be able to drop on my fave Entrecard sites, and write some posts..I’ve also decided to updated my theme. I want this blog to have a new and uncluttered look just like this new wordpress blog I have modified.

I guess I could go to bed now and get some much needed zzzzzzz and I don’t have to worry now coz I could safely say now that Pinaywifespeaks is back from twilight zone!

I’ve been away from my notebook and the internet since yesterday ‘coz I’ve got stiff neck so I had to give myself some rest and relaxation time. It was long overdue and I enjoyed the short break. It was not until late this afternoon that I decided to check my email for messages and I didn’t expect to get an email from my hosting company that this domain have reached more that 90% of my bandwidth.

Last month I got that message two days before the last day of the month and it didn’t bother me but this time August still has one week to go and my site is running out of bandwidth. Hubby suggested I should now upgrade my hosting plan.. and I think it’s a good idea.

When I got this domain and chose a hosting plan I didn’t really think I’d get any traffic so I just chose the starter plan with a small bandwidth just enough for readers like my family and friends I could “coerce” to read me . Originally, the plan is to make this into a personal blog but I guess I’m too private to reveal too much of myself and besides I really think blogging about my daily activities would be boring so this site went on to feature a multitude of things I find interesting.

I’m really happy with this.. I know my traffic is not much compared to really fab and popular blog sites but having some people checking out my site, reading my posts, leaving comments, offering link exchanges, giving me stumbles or diggs, well it really gives me so much pleasure. I also checked my Alexa traffic ranking and it coughed out 144, 756, a big jump from its 1 Million something ranking last May.

Thanks to my regular droppers, visitors and blogging friends.. You guys inspire me to learn, explore and write more…
