Just One Day Please
Vancouver 2010 Closing Ceremony
17 days of fun and sports, Vancouver 2010 has just ended with an amazing performance... Canada did a very good job on showcasing their culture to us, I have been able to know more about the amazing country of Canada, the vancouver city, the beautiful nature of British Colombia and the first nations... I somehow find Canada as one of the best place on earth! ^_^
Even if it's very hot over here, I somehow felt icy cool watching the olympic games. And it's very sad to watch them go... The flag has been passed on to Russia and wait for another four years for the next Sochi 2014 winter Olympic games. Here's the final medal count for Vancouver2010... USA got the highest score, followed by Germany, then Canada... Norway was supposed to be the third but Canada got Gold on the Hockey finals... A great game with the US team. Huhuhu... I wish there's more
Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics
I am on the watch for Vancouver 2010... Solar sports channel can't cover all the events, so I find my self watching in the internet via sopcast and any other broadcast that can be available. I even download a widget just to keep in track for the events. I embedded a score board too, for you to know who's leading... Very exciting... I'll be on the watch til the closing ceremony... ^_^ Wish I could fly to Canada! Don't forget to visit Vancouver2010.com for complete updates and shopping...
Babies and Contests
Babies and Contest is a blog owned by Melandria, it's all about a collection of different thoughts about babies and various contests around the internet and magazines... Because Melandria got lucky on Liz's contest, she deserved to have a blog make over.
I gave the layout a baby and a girly look, because obviously it's all about babies... I chose pink (even though she asked for green), because the girl on the header wouldn't fit for green (I think). Please check out her blog and see the full layout - Babies and Contests. Congratulations Melandria! ^_^

You can also use a WordWeb. WordWeb is a free dictionary and thesaurus PC application.

Amazon Associates on Blogger
I’ve got great news for blogger users. Amazon Associates is now integrated with blogger. That means you can now use images and links from Amazon Associates without logging in to Amazon website. By just filling out your Associate ID you can now blog and insert Amazon products (links and images) using the search widget beside your blogger text editor. That’s blogging and earning at one. Saves time a lot.
Here’s how you do it – go to monetize tab on your blog, and then go to Amazon Associates as seen in the picture. If you don’t have an account yet, choose the “I want to create a new Associates ID” option. If you have an account already, then choose “I already have an Amazon.com Associates ID.” You will be redirected and then fill out your Associates ID. After that, you are ready to blog and earn.
Problogger Book
Just finished reading this book today. It took me for about a week to read the entire book cover-cover, that's because I like to read one chapter a day and let it internalize in my head for the remaining hours of the day. It's really helpful when you do that. It'll enable readers to think it over and over, what to do to best apply it. It is not procrastination, but rather another way of understanding.
But anyways, this post is going to be about my comment on the book. Here it goes: The overall is superb, everything from starting up a blog, choosing the best niche to every content/post you make on your blog. Common terms used, traditions, and other stuffs that only bloggers know are included on the book. Where to go, pros and cons, tips and strategies to make your blog earn a six-figure income. Like they say, you can't do it in one overnight. It is a long process that needs optimism and handwork.
What I have learned:
* stick to the stuff you know
* learn from the pros
* communicate
* be thoughtful for your readers
* strive hard to achieve your goal
* blog professionally
So, if you want to be a problogger, then better start reading this awesome and useful book.
Blogging Mistake
This one has indeed nailed me to my very core... One thing most of us didn't know that there are many reasons why blogs end up having very low traffic and die eventually.One of this is that " Your post is about YOU ." There is nothing wrong if your posts are all about you. In fact, if you're having a personal blog, then you should. But the question is, do your readers care about you? I mean, are they interested on your personal stuffs? I think not, Unless you are a celebrity and super famous, then it wouldn't be a problem.
Try to address your posts to your readers. I'm sure they care if it is all about them. Personal stuffs can be used, but to lead your readers to the main context of your post... I will try this new discovery I found, it is worth a try. and I hope you do too... ^_^
There a lot more blogging mistakes that we need to discover, eventually we will discover them along the way. We just need to be observant.
Free Anime Layout: Hatsune Miku
Actually made this way back December 2009. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to post it right away because of my tight schedule... Well anyways, I made this template 'cause I was amazed of Hatsune Miku and her songs... She's actually a virtual singer with computer-synthesized singing. High peached but entertaining. See the full template on the demo link, and download it free.

17 Again
The movie revolves around a man who wants to go back to his past life, where he thought it could be happier if he took the greatest opportunity he could have back at high school...Then a strange janitor asked him about it and then he accidentally fall form the bridge and went home 17 gain. He thought he could relive his high school life but instead he end up fixing his family back together.
The movie is quite a comedy, a father who doesn't know anything about his children when at school. Apparently, he doesn't know that his son is not a basket player at all, and her daughter is snogging everywhere with her boyfriend. He tries to interfere and gets in trouble. The most funny part is, when he gets close to his wife. Quite realistic and a humor. Watch it! A very nice movie...
