Increase Your Google Page Rank

19 comments
Have you checked your Google Page Rank (PR) lately? If not, I suggest you check yours now. Google had made an update of their rankings. And, as expected, my PR had been in see-saw ever since. Before, I got really affected by the thought that my PR had dropped. But now, I get used to it. Moreover, I actively submit my blogs to SEO friendly web directory. Want to know why?

A web directory, synonymous to any directory, contains a list of related websites compiled for users searching for a specific category. Say, the Yahoo Directory. It is the most common web directory that holds a list of online business owners all over the world. So, what do these directories offer?

Imagine you are a newbie in the online business and would want to find similar businesses in the web to serve as your pattern. You can Google it. But that would only return you sites that contain keywords found within various websites. On the contrary, a business web directory would return an efficient list of websites directly related to your online business.

Now, let’s go back to PR. No one, up to now, can actually directly decipher the algorithm used by Google in ranking web pages. But, I can assure you, that building back links to your website or blog is an effective way of increasing your PR. Familiar with exchange links? Well, it is good to exchange links with blogs with higher PR. But, if you exchange links with blogs of low, or even unavailable, PR would affect your ranking too. Conclusively, you have to create back links or trade links with sites of relatively high PR. And the best way to do that is to submit your blog to reliable web directories. Aside from Yahoo, another authoritative web directory is DMOZ.

Go on, Increase Your Google Page Rank by submitting your blog to an efficient and reliable web directory.

I'm a Prisoner

2 comments
No, not a prisoner of the society. I'm a prisoner in our workplace. Well, actually, most of us thought we were. There had been a lot of changes being implemented now, that we felt the company had been cooking a Martial Law.

I had been vocal about our benefit of super 'flexi'. I can be at the office any time; and leave any time as well. At first, I find it amusing. But, for some time, I find it disadvantageous. It just teaches me how to become LAZY.

Also, since our work is seasonal, meaning there could be times that you really have to be resourceful just to make your mechanical parts fueled and not stacked up. As for me, I already made a system used for our everyday support out of my initiative. And, obviously, I am now addicted to blogging.

But now, it seems that the management have so much rules in mind that they have been implementing them one after the other. Some were great. But some, I find ridiculous, ha ha.

Could you believe that? Aside from our digital log-in as we reach our building, we would still pass a manual log in from the gate. See the redundancy? And how about the checking of the bag twice as well? Can I put something from my things as I walk from our gate to our building? Funny isn't it?

Well, there had been a lot, they've been strict now. We have to log out and log in for our lunch break in case we will have our lunch out. Also, we are now restricted from using the internet. And that broke my heart. No, that ruined my world *sigh* Blogging had been my world, my best friend, my crib, my shock absorber, my every thing. And now, they were taking that away from me, ha ha.

So I guess, I would be blogging a little less now. But I would still be blog hopping daily by tens as I always do. For now, I'm a Prisoner, huhuhu.

Wanted: New Blog Template

6 comments
I’ve been planning to change my blog template … again. This urge is inspired by Jules of A Writer’s Den. I really find his blog simple yet elegant. Thus, I want to have a blog template with less color, less advertisements, but full of interesting topics to discuss. And more importantly, I want something that is quick to load.

Upon searching for a free blog template, I stumbled upon an article entitled “How to get some great Wordpress Templates”. Now, I’m beginning to envy Wordpress users for having limitless possibilities with their designs. On the contrary, since I’m not that artistic, I’d rather get those great templates instead for FREE.

From the mentioned article, it provides a gist of obtaining Wordpress templates for your website, or much better, designing custom Wordpress templates. I got more interested in the latter, for it could bring money in the future, provided your passion is in designing and doing some XHMTL and PHP modifications, rather, beautification. But then again, I guess that’s not my field.

Nevertheless, the article contains vital information, not only for Wordpress users, but for Blogger users, like me as well. It discusses the importance of having a neat blog template. If you really mean business, you should really have a professional and unique design for your website. And, as the article suggests, this could be attained by (1) obtaining templates for FREE; (2) paying for a custom designed template; or (3) custom design a FREE template yourself.

I guess there could also be an article for Blogger. So, I’d better search for it now to modify my blog template immediately. See you around guys!

Yahoo Messenger Status

17 comments
Since Monday, my sister's status in Yahoo Messenger (YM) is this:


Well, you all know that I got my Ako Mismo Dog Tag yesterday. With that, I updated my YM status to "ate, may dog tag na rin ako *bhelat*".

Surprisingly, my brother BUZZed me in YM, only to find out his YM status to be:


Ha ha ha! Thus, I re-update my YM status. And here's what I had:


Hee hee. Then my brother is asking me if there exists a DOTA Dog Tag, ha ha.

The display pictures we had on our YMs were all taken during our trip at Baguio City. And our next family trip will be next month. We'll be watching Transformers (Revenge of the Fallen) at IMAX. We were just waiting for them to show it in 3D format. Can't wait for it. :)

Got My Ako Mismo Dog Tag

11 comments
Just now, my bestfriend handed me my Ako Mismo Dog Tag, yey! If you're curious about this advocacy, check it from their site at http://www.akomismo.org/. From there it says "AKO MISMO is about YOU… making a stand and taking real action for the causes you believe in. Causes that you yourself can truly pursue to make a real, positive difference to your fellow countryman, to your country." It encourages nationalism amongst us and encourages everyone to make a commitment for the benefit of our country.

As for me, my commitment is...

AKO MISMO...mas pipiliin kong maglingkod at manirahan sa bayan ko sa halip na sa dayuhang bansa.

Well, I just love my country that I really don't thought of working abroad for greener pasture. Yes, it is influenced by the experiences I had when my father works abroad. I have instilled in my young mind that I won't be leaving my family, my country. And that's a commitment. Of course I would want to travel someday, but I will always be coming home to my beloved country, the Philippines.

And here's my dog tag together with garfield *wink*

On Missing Someone

7 comments
When you miss someone, what does that mean? Does it mean that he's not around? Does it mean that he's miles away from you? Does it mean that you have not been seeing him for so long? It's normal. But for me, it's something different.

For me, missing someone doesn't necessarily entail that he has to be miles away from me. He could be always around, but I could still miss him. Probably, it's because I had been used to an almost routine activities that changed over night.

Yes, I am overly sensitive. But that's me. And I'm aware of it. But know what? I choose to be happy, 'coz happiness is a choice. I'd rather wear fake smiles than having to explain to everyone why I'm sad (which I am not really good at, explaining myself). Anyway, at the end of the day, I will always be thankful that I have my family and that I have the love of my life. Sometimes, I'm thinking I don't need anyone, 'coz my family and my angel already completes me. But still, I have to have friends, to let me feel the emotions that will make me mature.

Advantage Painting and Papering

2 comments
Do you know that one of the ways to properly maintain your house is to have it painted? Yes, paints do not simply beautify your house by adding colors to it; it also makes your house durable.

Have you tried painting your own house? Me, I haven’t, and I guess I won’t. Aside from the fact that I don’t have the time to do so, I also find it hard to perfectly paint something, as with our art class. Besides, a mistake at a corner will mean rework of the whole thing. I can’t risk that one. It will not only cost me too much time, it will also cost me too much money. So, I’d better hire someone who really knew how.

Community from Boise, Idaho is very lucky to have with them a Boise Painting Company that offers high quality of service and products at an affordable price. They, Advantage Painting and Papering, have been in business for 30 years now. So, rest assured that they would really provide the finest service in the community.

Aside from providing quick finish, they also offer help to those who are not yet familiar with painting and papering. They offer, in their site, articles that would help you in finding a Boise painter. They present them in an even tone on where to locate a professional Boise painter, the important topics needed to bring up in interviewing a Boise painter, and how to secure a contract with the Boise painter of your choice.

For more detailed information, you may visit their site or simply contact them at (208) 639-9055.

What's Wrong?

4 comments
While waiting for a bus one day, I had noticed that there's something wrong with this billboard. Can you spot it?


I believe, this one is located at GMA before. But, they transferred this one here in Pulilan. I guess it's because they noticed that there's something wrong with the billboard. I just can't believe that it has to be already printed and posted before they noticed it, if they really did.

Shower Party for My Best Friend

2 comments
This coming September, my best friend will be marrying the love of her life. And with that, we will be throwing a sort of shower party for her on August. Well, of course, budget will be one of our concerns in this event. We were looking for a hotel where we could have the activity without having to spend a lot.

I heard of this hotel, the Jupiter Suites - a budget hotel in Makati City that could be one of our hotel choices. It is located at 102 Jupiter St., Bel-air, Makati City, Philippines which will be accessible to my best friend’s other close friends that will be joining the party. As for the room rates, I find it affordable here in Jupiter Suites. We could probably have the Family Suites which costs PhP 3,700++ and just an additional of PhP 700 for every extra person. It is affordable for me since a set of breakfast is already included.

But, what I like the most about this so-called “a budget hotel in Makati City” is it’s in-room internet service. Yes, of course, I don’t want to miss each and every one of you dear readers, ha ha. I’m sorry, but I just can’t live without my blog, so, internet service is a must.

Whew! We only got a month left to prepare for the shower party. With that, I made myself their Facebook fan to keep me informed about their promotions. If you intend to participate with their promos, then Be a Facebook fan of Jupiter Suites as well and keep yourselves posted.

Click on the image below to proceed to their site.


I also have here some pictures of their rooms. Just scroll to see the whole picture. Looks great right?

Next Month is Special

2 comments
Next month is special; it is something worth to celebrate. July 14, 2009 is our 8th anniversary. Could you believe that? We’re in our relationship for 8 years now and still getting stronger. Not only that, July 23 is my angel’s birthday! We celebrate those dates together. Last year, we had our dinner at Shabu-Shabu. Also, we watched Harry Potter at IMAX. This year, I wanted to put some twist in our ordinary celebration. If permitted, I would really want to spend time with my angel out of the country. I would choose Hong Kong as our destination. I would really love to visit the Disney Land and see Mickey Mouse for real. I’m really getting excited now.

See you soon Mickey :P

I know going to places would really involve spending much. Thus, if I would really want to travel, I really have to look for cheap packages. Anyway, I would have fun and enjoy the trip no matter what since I’ll be travelling with the love of my life. First consideration I have is the place to stay. Similar to what we had done in our Baguio City travel, we search first for a place to stay. Luckily, I found out that there is currently an Accor Hotels City Super Sale. Upon searching, I had chosen Hotel Ibis North Point located in the city center. It only costs $45.16 per night. Not much at all, it only costs around PhP2500.00.

I’ll be talking with my angel later and consult him about this one. The Accor Hotels City Super Sale is on a limited time only. I have to book on-line from June 23 to 29 for stays between July 10 and September 30, 2009. Availing of this promo would give us up to 60% savings. So, if you’re going to travel as well within those dates, you better check for Accor Hotels City Super Sales to avail of real cheap hotel rates.

Baby Sign Language

0 comments
I’m not a mother yet. I don’t have a baby. And I am not yet married. But, I had experienced dealing with a toddler, my niece Stephanie. I had been baby sitting her whenever her parents are not around, and I’m in the house doing nothing. Well, those are the days that I am not yet into blogging, ha ha. I can say that during those times when I have to take care of her, I sometimes, rather most of the time, find it hard to understand what she would love to say. Well, we all know that toddlers, infants, or babies still can’t utter words. All they can do to communicate is via Baby Sign Language.

Calling all Mommy Bloggers...

I had found out about this interesting book, the Toddler Interpreter that aims to bridge the communication of parents and babies even without saying any word. That sounds really cool. You need not to guess what your baby needed, say milk. You need not to guess what your baby is feeling, say his stomach is aching. Using Baby Sign Language, you can exchange thoughts with your babies even at the age of four months. Also, with this interaction, you are already teaching your child speech development at his early age; thus, stimulating his brain for an increased IQ. And, on top of it all, using Baby Sign Language creates a bond between you and your baby through a two way communication.

You can find more information about this book here: http://www.toddlerinterpreter.com.

Kids Backpacks

3 comments


To some, it seems just the start of the school year. Most of the schools had chosen to start at a later date due to A(H1N1). And with that, moms had a longer time to prepare their kids stuffs. I have here three stuffs that your kids would surely love.

A mint medium kids backpacks will surely be adored by your kids, and would make them brag it to their classmates having their names embroidered on it. These kids backpacks measure 15” x 13.5” and cost $26.00.

If you find those backpacks a little huge for your kids, then try these toddler backpacks. They are of the same quality, only, this one is available in 8” x 11” at $19.00.

Both backpacks are easy to personalize and are made with Mint’s signature fabrics and colorful border designs.

Lastly, when your kid would be having a camping this year, then I suggest you purchase nap mat. This one’s perfect for camping activities for it is padded and lined with nylon and cotton. It also has a ribbon trimmed, soft, fleecy blanket.

For more unique and personalized gifts for women, kids, and more, visit Posy Lane.

Happy Father's Day

3 comments

Before Father's Day, I had reminisced the days I spent with my father. And it made me miss him.

I was born in this world without him by my mother's side. He had to work abroad for greener pasture. Luckily, he see to it that he would come home on my birthdays. My mother said that I don't find it hard to recognize him because I used to play with his pictures when he was away.

I remember, he was the one who told me a trick on how I could quickly add numbers. He also bragged about typing with his eyes covered. But, what I love the most about him is the way he bought me some snacks and prepares a glass of juice every time I review for my exams.

And for those who are wondering why I get addicted to basketball, well, maybe he is one of the reasons. We had watched NBA together. Of course he cheered for Michael Jordan. It was Chicago Bulls against Utah Jazz that time. And to make the viewing fun, I cheered for Karl Malone, ha ha. I guess you already knew who won that time. Nonetheless, it was fun watching basketball with him.

It's father's day! I miss my father. But that's life. We all die, only some go ahead of us. Just make sure that you won't regret anything when you have to go, or when you are left behind. :)

Willey Tiles

0 comments
The largest part of our house is the floor. Agree? Just like the skin, it is as well often neglected. In our house, it took almost a decade before it had been tiled. My brother, a civil engineer, closely monitors the activities. He never wanted a low quality finish at our floor. With an assured quality, the maintenance of our floor would be easier. How about you? Do you neglect the floor of your house too? Or, you are willing to spend a considerable amount just to ensure a quality floor finish?

Willey Tile of Fresno, California is a great Fresno Flooring Contractor that offered unparalleled service and quality to its clients. Having been in the business for 28 years now, they ensured that every job they have done had a great finish and with integrity.

I had read from their site, and I believe too, that it requires a specialization or training before one can actually decorate or maintain their flooring. All the available do-it-yourself kits in the market could provide an illusion that flooring is an easy job. But once you’re at it, you could only get a headache and an unsatisfied end result. Thus, hiring a company that specializes in such would provide you peace of mind with satisfaction guaranteed.

To know more about searching the right Fresno Flooring company, visit their site or simply reach them at (559) 892-0412.

Dream House

0 comments
Yesterday, I had attended the mass together with my angel. We had lunch at their place, then we headed on to meet our real estate agent. We had our tripping at their site. And we had viewed some model houses there. Yes, the model houses looked real great. But, it is real expensive as well. Hmm, I really don't need nor want a big house, all I need is a place where I could spend the rest of my life with my angel *blush*.

I just wanted our house to be simple, yet elegant looking. Honestly, I leave everything to him. I would want him to draft our house plan. He's an electrical engineer anyway. So, he could really drew one for us. I just provide bits of opinion on how I would want to place the stairs, walk-in closets, and the like.

*deep breath* We really need to be thrift to have our dream house. I guess I also have to earn much at blogging to save more. But, I do believe, that in God's time, we would be able to have our own house to be called our home. A place where I could grow old with the love of my life. *heartbeat*

Let's Play

0 comments
I confess I am getting addicted to internet games. I had been staying late at night, 3am at most. Can’t blame myself, I really enjoyed those games. Recently, just found out a new site where I can play together with other online friends. This one’s more exciting, definitely, for I would get a chance to play multiplayer billiards. It is really more enjoyable to have fun playing with these kinds of games rather than playing alone, right? Need not to worry about the speed. The site, although free, loads really fast. So, come, and let’s play at multiplayer games,8c1.net.http://www.8c1.net. Shall I see you there tonight?

I've Got a New Crush!

7 comments
Yay! I've got a new crush, hee hee. Okay, you know that I Love Kerby Raymundo. But now that they're out of the game, I could only cheer for him in the Team Pilipinas. I do hope that they could beat Sri Lanka. You also know that I Love My Mouse, I mean, Chris Pacana. Unfortunately, he had not been playing anymore. Coach Jong Uichico seem to forgot his defensive skills, tsk tsk tsk. How could I enjoy a game without him right? I would prefer a sorry loss with him displaying his skills rather than bagging a championship crown with him just sitting on the bench, cheering for his team.

Anyway, I watched the game last night of Barangay Ginebra Kings (BGK) against Rain or Shine Elasto Painters (RoS). Hmmm, Rob Wainright is a good player, but I find his team mates playing a "dirty" basketball. The likes of AraƱa and YbaƱez. And of course, the one I hate, Jay-R Reyes. The one that caught my attention then were the turn around shots, fast breaks, and ankle breaker moves of Cyrus Baguio *blush*, ha ha.

Sorry, I haven't found a decent picture of him wearing the BGK Jersey

I don't know, but I am just amazed of how good he is. Coach Yeng Guiao had really built his confidence. *applause* Sadly, he was thrown out of the game. He was called for flagrant foul penalty 2 for an unintentional foul *sigh*. Well, I accept it. It happened before with Olsen Racela against JayJay Helterbrand (?), Paul Artadi against someone from RoS, and Hamilton (Purefoods' Import) against Rob Wainright.

BGK lost the game. Probably one of the reasons was Baguio's ejection. Nonetheless, I enjoyed watching the brilliant moves of Skyrus Baguio *wink*.

Real Property Management

1 comments
Yesterday, my office mate is drafting a new contract for her house for rent. She is having a headache with the current family renting her real property. She mentioned that the family had always been paying the rental very late. Well, it is really hard to own a real property and manage it yourself.

My office mate currently owns only one real property for rent; can you imagine the headache one is having with lots of properties for rent? If you’re one of those, why not transfer the management to someone who is already an expert in this field? Real Property Management will surely take away your headaches and make you earn while having peace of mind.

RPM specialized in the management of single family homes, multi-unit apartment buildings, and homeowner’s associations. These experts will show you how you could save hundreds of dollars per year, and get better service. You may reach them at 859-442-9600.

I'm On Sick Leave

12 comments

No, not today. Well, almost, but here I am, blogging at work, hee hee.

I'm on sick leave last Wednesday. I had a very severe headache accompanied by cold and fever. I thought I already had Swine Flu then, ha ha ha. Luckily, I had been taken care of by a very good nurse, Stephanie.

I had been bedridden the whole day. I thought I could catch up with this blog, and do some hopping. But just a reserved movement already makes it even painful. Too bad. I just content myself by logging in my Facebook account every now and then using my PSP. I had taken a couple of Biogesic. And my nurse always insist of putting it on my tongue rather than me taking it myself. She also put some Katinko in my forehead for some relief.

Surprisingly, I really got well that night. I guess I really just needed some rest. Rest from work and from facing the computer all day. I should never be stubborn from resting and should not get delighted of opportunities from PPPs, hee hee. I should take care of myself once in a while and have a day off from all of those, right? Hence, I am very sorry guys if I haven't hopped back for quite a long time now. I have to take care of my health too.

Special mention to sis Meryl. I guess you should not stay up late at night either, ha ha. Just kidding!

Eternally

0 comments
I have heard of the Firefalldown promo, the “Be inspired and win an iTouch!” But beyond that prize, I am writing this entry now simply because I am truly inspired by one of their songs entitled “Eternally”. So, how is the song connected with my life? Here’s my story.

Father’s day will be this coming Sunday. Know what? I am really beginning to miss my father. I believe though that he is happy now with God in heaven. I just missed the times when he had to cook my breakfast. Or the times when he had to buy me biscuits and juice while I was reviewing for my exams. And most importantly, I miss the times when we enjoyed watching basketball together, cheering for different teams. I remember I once asked him, “Ama, hindi ka ba takot na bumagsak ‘yung eroplano na sinasakyan mo?” (Father, are you not afraid that the airplane that you’re riding to might crash?). Without second thoughts, he answered, “Hindi. Lahat naman tayo mamamatay.” (No. We are all destined to die.). I admired him with those words. I just don’t expect him to die sooner that I expected. February 14, 1998, Valentine’s Day, he passed away. I mourn. I weep. I had sleepless nights. I would always cry at night while singing “Father don’t fade away from me, for you will always be, my sweetest memory…” until I lull myself to sleep.


Yes. I am afraid to die. Everyday of my life, more than the fear of facing an accident, I fear death. I am not ready yet. If I only have 24-hours to live, it won’t be enough to do the things that I could have wanted to be done. And I know that’s wrong. I should be prepared to die anytime. I’m no God. I won’t know when my time comes.

Just like the song “Eternally”. It reminds me of the fact that tomorrow could be promising; but, I should not assure myself that there will always be one. God had been waiting, eternally, until forever. But, I should not keep Him waiting. If I feel like coming to Him, then I should not wait for tomorrow. ‘Coz maybe, just maybe, there’ll be no more tomorrow.

-- End of Entry --

I have here embedded on of the Firefalldown music videos. Hope you enjoy it, and be inspired as well.

My Long Weekend: Baguio City (Day 2)

7 comments
...continued

I had slept early and soundly. Probably because I'm restless and I'm sick. Anyway, I ate my breakfast, cooked by my aunt, take my medicine, and take a warm bath. While waiting for others to get ready for our tour, me and My Angel, had a walk along the road of the house to have an exercise and to have pictures (of course).


Around 8:30AM, we head on our way to Strawberry Farm. Unfortunately, it's the strawberry's off season. So very few will be seen in the farm. Also, there were no flowers yet. Unlike our last visit there, November 2005, the flowers bloom beautifully.

Strawberry Farm

Our next stop is the Burnham Park where we have our jump shots. We also had our pictures in the tablet where we raise our foot from the ground to hug it, ha ha. And my cute niece did the same, of course.


Burnham Park

It's time, we have to check out from our house. We have our lunch there. With all our things packed again at the vehicle, we proceed to the Botanical Garden.

Botanical Garden

Our next stop is the Wright Park. But we don't want to wander around, thus, we immediately proceed to the Mansion.

Wright Park

The Mansion

For the pasalubong, we head on to Mines View. Well, since I am thrift ha ha ha, I don't buy anything. I just waited for them to finish buying. Stephanie and I rode a horse for picture taking only, and I got real scared, ha ha ha.

Mines View Park

We also visit Good Shepherd to buy their famous ube. And take a picture at their overlooking deck. Me and My Angel change our shirts *wink*

Good Shepherd Overlooking Deck

We were about to visit Camp John Hay, unfortunately, it is already closed. Well, it's okay, it's raining hard anyway. We now head on our way to Kennon Road. We tried if PMA is still open, but, it's too late. It's really time to go home.

We just have our stop when we had our dinner at Mang Inasal at Panggasinan. The trip was tiring, but I really enjoyed it. Most specially since I had my family with me.

Raggs Twitter Party

When I was still in nursery, I had been the Little Red Riding Hood of our class. I had declaimed well. Unfortunately, I was not able to develop my talent further for I failed to join contests on television or even within our community. I guess my mom is just hesitant of bringing me to auditions or probably a lot of questions had been troubling her mind.

My Long Weekend: Baguio City (Day 1)

12 comments
To continue with my post about My Long Weekend, I have here our Day 1 tour at the City of Pines. Actually, it is not a tour since we were unable to follow our itinerary for that day.

Still sleepless, we headed our way from Manaoag to Baguio City, particularly to have our breakfast. We travel via the Kennon Road. And where did we stop? Definitely, we stopped at the Lion's head to take some pictures.

After which, we had our breakfast at Burnham Park. I ate fried rice, egg, and daing na bangus. It is, however, the smallest bangus that I have eaten all my life, ha ha ha. Then, as a sign of gratitude that we arrived safely at Baguio City, we went at Lourdes Grotto. We climb up the stairs, and I lost count of how many steps we had taken. Finally, when we're on top, I whisphered a prayer.

Not a bad hair day huh?

Actually, we were about to check in the house that we rented at around 1PM. Luckily, the landlady texted us and informed us that we can already check in as early as now. And that was around 10AM. So, with all of us exhausted and really wanted to sleep, we proceed at Del Prado Units, Unit B. I am glad that everybody loved the house. We just fixed some of our things, then we lull ourselves to sleep. Unfortunately, I find it hard to sleep. Why? Because I got colds, I find it hard to breath. My Angel would have wanted to have a walk and buy me some medicines, but I really got lazy that time. Hence, I just asked my cousin, Ian, to buy me a BioFlu at the nearest sari-sari store. I ate a cup of noodles and take my medicine, then try to have a sound sleep. I was awaken by my niece, Stephanie, touching my neck and head, telling me that I got fever. It is around 4PM that time.

We just climbed at SM Baguio to have our dinner and buy some stuffs. We had our dinner at SM Max's. They had free WiFi there. However, the soup will really get cold once served. We could have just cook back in the house, ha ha. I got a little tired. But my company wanted to wander around the mall. So, me and My Angel just follow and wait for them. I was craving for Dairy Queen's Caramel Cashew or Chocolate Almond, but we failed to find one.

Back in our house, my sister cooked a Crab and Corn Soup. I believe I had taken two (2) cups, then I took another medicine. It was around 11PM when we go to sleep. We agreed at waking up early to be able to travel all over the city.
