Head on now to Kaye and Pehpot’s blog to learn more! Move your *ss and work it out – Contest runs from Jan 18 to Feb 28 2010, Hurry now!!

And here I am again contemplating if I should join the contest - honestly am so tempted - i need a PUSH.. Mini mini My niiii moooo. :)

Dilemma

I can’t stop laughing while recalling my phone conversation with ghie’s elder sister kat, one of my best friends and our organizer on our Palawan getaway on Saturday. The chat could be sum of to three; our itinerary, the things to bring and my blogging life. The blogging life is the cause of my two dilemmas :D

My first dilemma is about my laptop nancy.

I want to bring my laptop, she said our accommodation has free wifi but since we will be staying at krystal lodge, where our cottage is above sea level, she thought of the laptop’s security. She told me I can rest blogging for three days. But the blogging addict in me cannot imagine a day without my blogs so.. now I am still thinking.. should I bring or leave my laptop home. Sigh.

Second is about Fedhz contest.

I want to win that point system contest for fedhz blogversary/birthday since half of that $200 will go to Daniel and half for my ‘christmas’ project if ever I will win. BUT since I am competing with my very good blogging friends Kaye, who is from Baguio and was kinda affected with Typhoon Pepeng and Pehpot, who was affected by typhoon ondoy and is about to give birth on November to my inaanak Sati, I am thinking of backing out. As of writing, I am backing out already LOL. I hope Peh or Kaye wins! :)

Anyways, I am taking this opportunity to greet my blogging friend and my kumareng PEHPOT for winning The Best Family and Living Blog in that most prestigious PHILIPPINE BLOG AWARDS. Congratulations Mare! Bongga ka! :)

Let's Vote for Rylie!

My very good friends Rose and John's beautiful daughter, Jillian Rylie, is one of the contestants at an online smile contest. Let us help her win by casting our vote everyday at this link.

Thank you very much! :)

Bring home the bacon!

Or that $200 gold cash just by joining this awesome contest by Fedhz!

I know, time isn’t easy and we are making ends meet. I am talking in behalf of myself, yeah time’s not good, blogging opportunity is inadequate and I need some extra cash! That’s why am joining fedhz anniversary/birthday contest with high hope to bring home that $200.

Mechanics of the contest is at her page, there are a lot of ways to win and I am encouraging you to give it a try and Win $200 from Fedhz Blogversary/Bday Contest!

ps:
Alright, am not good at contests and i have never won any, by the way. But if ever i get to win that $200, it will be for a very worthy cause!

Just a little trivia, fedhz and i learned it just minutes ago. We share the same birth date, OMG! And i couldn't believe it. ;)

Jackie Rice Look-alike?
