As my rule, awards and gifts ^_^ and tags and meme or anything else are posted on weekend. However, this weekend I am a little late in doingit. I am very occupied with my new found freelance writing work! It is quite enslaving as I may say but I love the fact that I learn so much as I write my chosen assignments.

I just finished my 4th assignment which is a 10-page paper. I started it last night and I cannot sleep to finish it. I love the topic because it is related to my profession (SarbOx) so I never stopped reading more and more. It pays very cheap compared to my other free lancing writing job but as I have mentioned, I have an educational growth with this one so I am here with sleepless nights and unattended blogs. But I hope I can get over the addiction now. Actually, the last job I have submitted has a deadline of 6 days more but I submitted now. Maybe I am just overwhelmed by the responses of my customers that I am very inspired! I thank Gina for referring me to the site.

Now I am here, claiming all the tags and awards given.

I have from April, Weng,and Pen Palaboy,Pen Palaboy this week! Let’s see what I got!

The one from April is about “Link Around the World Tag”. It is a very good friendship tag, as I may consider because aside from being a tag, it also works back going to one’s own site and blogs. It is useful.

The tag says:

Let us all help each other out by doing each and everyone a little favor… Building our Technorati ranks and probably our Google page rank! How? By doing this tag!

I am making this not only to build up my own blog, but of course, to build up yours as well! So tag along, and lend us your helping hands.

Instruction:
1. Place your link after the list. If you have more than 1 blog, feel free to add them all here!
2. After placing your blog’s address/es, you must tag 5 or more bloggers that is not yet in the list, this is to keep the ball rolling.
3. Here is the best part: Make sure to update your list every now and then, by getting the master list here. I’ll be updating the master list every day, or as soon as I see a new blog that’s been added to the list. ^_^

Another award is the “Perfect Blend of Friendship” from Weng, the owner of Aller La Vita:La-bas blog. Thanks a lot for this Weng and I highly apprecite this. I know I am like your big sister (though I am not that big!) and we agree in many things. I like to argue with your views though! I like to see how open minded you are.. Anyway, thanks for the friendship as well and the e-mails and all. Ummm… this then goes to again, always my victim, Gina my friend. I wish to meet you really in real life Gina, hmmm..maybe in five years? Well, we’ll see. Visit and see the new page layout and blog skin of Gina HERE. Another victim is Sheng . Even I don’t frequent her site as often as it should be, I like her personal blog and the online friendship, though not that very close yet. And of course, even Anino, would not post this, I want to award just the same this to him or her or whatever! ^_^


And of course, the third award, the heart in the clouds from Pen Palaboy, I bestow to Weng Aller La Vita:La-bas. I’d love to see this in your blog Weng and as you said tawhay ka na subong kag makaginhawa na! So I award this to you! Congratulatins for finishing another academic year and have the best of luck for your next and final college year. Thanks again Pen Palaboy.

I am searching about this topic at the moemnt. It is because I want to know why Philippines are so divided. However, I am surprised with the article that I am reading for it says .here that Philippines is not really that divided. By I wonder why because per my observation, Filipinos are really steriotyping each other and love to be identified as Tagalog, Ilonggo, Cebuano, Bicolano, Pampangeno, etcetera rather than as a "Filipino".

Why my mind is in this issue? Because I remember this as I have been tagged and helped by various friends online. I know online friendship might be easier than real ones but this is not always the case. Even online, you cannot befriend someone whom you are not comfortable with. And to think that we are in various parts of the world and yet can be friends is a bit overwhelming.


The only moment that I have seen Filipinos so united is during the fight/boxing match of Manny Pacquiao! What if there is no Pacquiao? We don't have reason to live and enjoy the unity of a nation? We unite to support those who excel. Why? Because they excel? It's a bad answer then! We should unite TO ESCEL as well! In our own way, in our own home, in ourselves. We shoould help each other! We SHOULD NOT pull each other down. But after all, words are easier said than done. What can you say?

Since I have mentioned that I have tags that's why I have remembered the topic above, this is my chance to post them here. To those who plan to tag me, please take note that I am posting the tags by batch on a weekend of your tag, unless I cannot log log on the first weekend after your tag. In which case, I will be posting them next time. I apologise for this system but I need to blend the tags with the theme of this blog. I do hope you understand. Sometimes I post the tags with my existing post like what I did with the tag of Gina and .Anino before.

And if you happen to read this, and you may see that I am not as active in the succeeding weeks, please bear with me. i am planning to be in another country and i am not sure of the luck of my connection there. But for sure, I will be back. Just leave your messages in the comment area of this post. Moreover, I am hoping to make some flicks with this blog to share some money with my fellow Pinoys once my unique counter reaches 5000 unique hits so you may watch out as well. You might make yourself a thousand or two richer back in Pinas.

Fourth Tag? Again from Bluedreamer27. This is on top five blogs of the tagged one at the moment and the reasons for making them my Top 5ive. I just share them with you as well.

My top 5 are the following:
1.THE MELIORIST by Gina for her unconditional love for the "mother earth" and her zeal for a better world to live in. Moreover, for her strong will for the progress of the Filipino community.

2.Aller La-Bas by Weng for her struggles as a student and a great heart for the masses. I know her blog is not of the best layout and it has even designs for a real girly look but the content is amazing! Try to see it to prove.

3.Sheng's Simple Thoughts by Gorgeous Sheng. Actually, I don't know why I am stuck with such a personal blog like this one! But I am just hook how she adores her son and how she makes herself a perfect mom in everyday life.

4.Anino by Anino Shadow of course for his original stories and great friendship. But I am not really sure if he/she is a he or she! It's a code.

5.EMOTERA by Emotera This is another blog I read from time to time. Aside from an earning blog, which I learn how, she is as well very friendly. And lastly, she is and EMOTERA! ^_^
