I highly doubt ANYONE looks this made up when DIY-ing at home. Seriously…eyeshadow? .. while doing house work? So maybe they wanted her to look “finer” and more “polished” for the cameras but should you really use that shade of eyeshadow?
and look at the jawline…somebody forgot to blend it all the way down to her neck!!! who did her makeup!? natural look much?!

Woot! Look at those BIG changes under the Google column! CMON!! (last time I checked was 4 days ago.. so that’s a huge change). This is for the other project I’m doing (guess?!). I’ve been going up and down the google charts since last week of December, and finally we’re climbing back up with a vengeance! Big yey for me! Will work extra harder these next few weeks so I can get consistent numbers. It ain’t over till I reach #1 (ok, maybe when I get to first page on google I can sleep easier hehe)
Now, on to crushing the competition

2 Feb 2010Our roof that is! Our home sweet house is pretty much a year older than me, and desperately needs new roofing in some areas. The whole house got re-roofed around 10 yrs ago except for the tegula tiles in front(which has been there since I was born). It has to go for safety reasons. This is making me feel ancient!

1 Feb 2010because I’m planning a trip to the National Museum this February. You have permission to call me walang kwenta because I’ve been to museums abroad but I’ve never been to the one in my country…(bigla ako napapakanta.. I’ve been to paradise.. but I’ve never been to me… bwahahhaha)
and i like this song, originally sung by the Eraserheads. Do check out the 2 versions.
this one by the Eheads – click link as Smart doesn’t allow embedding (grr). Mei piyok piyok factor si Ely hehe. I think this came from their 2009 concert.

31 Jan 2010Tonight, I was supposed to watch this on dibidi:
….but I was still analyzing this (from last night)
and realizing how chapped my lips were from too much white cheddar popcorn (and how vain am I to post this pic hahaha)
and was worrying about the sugar shortage:
I mean, should I start paying my favorite sopdrink with blood? (ok, so i exaj a bit, and coke isn’t my fave, it’s pepsi max).
And well.. tonight since I did think about sopdrinks. I also thought about tuna belly.
and I started missing my niece
whose website I still haven’t finished (yccfi.com). Which made me think of this guy..
who’s the programmer for the site….
and I started singing lucky by Jason Mraz 
being random is normal…to me. ask my friends!

Zzzomg. My nephew is a giant in the making. He eats so much he puts my record of 3 pcs of siomai and 4 cups of rice to shame. And he just turned 9. Which effectively makes me lola. I wish I could spend more time with my nephews and nieces. good times ♥

emails shwemails
18 Jan 2010For the last 6 or so months, I’ve been helping my dad with his real estate biz, and although I enjoy maintaining the site, gaining leads & crushing the competition in the SERP wars (ok so maybe i haven’t truly crushed each and every one of them, but my traffic is on a high I might consider offering paid ads!), it’s also a bit disheartening for me and mi papa when leads refuse to follow basic email etiquette, and that is:
to reply when information is provided to you – no matter if the reply is positive or not.
It astounds me that so many people out there still refuse to practice basic human decency and proper manners when it comes to email. Are you too busy to even reply? Then why inquire in the first place? Or if you’re not really interested, please spare us the work and let us focus on the really serious buyers, eh?
In fact, some who’ve inquired even refuse to give out their phone numbers (when we’ve put up OUR own landline/mobile/email contact information) simply because it’s private information.. uh okay should I be suspicious of you or something?
This frustrates me to no end…I’m even tempted to put a sign on the site that says if you can’t trust us with your information, then beat it! I know trust is an important factor in selling, but let’s reverse the situation…why should we trust you if you can’t trust us? Shouldn’t that be a 2 way street? Most real estate companies do profiling first on their clients before they entertain them so what we do shouldn’t come as a shock or feel invasive to them.
But I digress, when my issue here are people who ignore our followups. Is it so hard to say, sorry we’re not interested versus ignoring a human being who worked themselves out to give you the information you need? Arg. I’m not demanding you reply in an hour or two – we have realistic email expectations after all. We expect though, a reply – maximum 3 days after we’ve sent out the email (see? is that so bad?).
So from now on, I won’t be nice. Not too nice anyway, because I’m sure there are people out there who are professional enough to reply – those are the people who give me hope and teach me to assume the good in others when experience and history proves me otherwise.
Just ranting here, as I always do
