STONECPS

I can still remember, I have been really begging my parents to buy me a Sony Walkman as it was a status symbol during my time. Would you imagine that when it was first release, it costs around $200 (yes it was really that expensive and during those times $200 is a big amount of money already.) That is why I was so happy when finally, my dad granted my wish and bought me one when he returned from his work abroad.

It has been my travel companion (along with the dozens of tapes that I listen to. LOL.) I also use it to record those voice tapes that we send to my dad when he was working abroad. Indeed the Sony Walkman was my number one gadget during that time. And did you know that Sony Walkman tops the list of Top 50 Gadgets of the past 50 years. Cool.

To Sony Walkman, happy anniversary and you are one of the reasons why I enjoyed my teenage life and for that my warmest thank you!!

A few years back, our company had a team building exercise where we joined Habitat for Humanity in one of their projects. I was hesitant at first to join as I am sure that it will be one long and tiring day as we will be building houses (aka manual labor). But hubby convinced me to participate and I was really glad I did because it was one rewarding experience. Imagine, I was able to build a home that they will be donating for one of the homeless Filipino family.

So when I learned about RUN FOR HOME, a project of Globe-Ayala Land City Run for Habitat For Humanity to help build homes through Habitat for Humanity for the benefit of Kapit Bisig Para sa Ilog Pasig Project, I said that I should help promote it and I will really try to join to help Habitat for Humanity again.

The Run for Home event will be on July 19, 2009 to be held at Bonifacio Global City. Registration will be from June 19 to July 3, 2009. You can choose from 3K, 5K, 10K and 21K races. And for Globe subscribers, you can join the vent for as low as P300.

So join now and I assure you that it will be one rewarding experience.

Sometimes it is just what I need. Even if I’m so tired, all my exhaustion will fade away as long as I know that they appreciate what I’ve done for them. I don’t have to hear it. They don’t even need to say it directly to please my ears. All I want is the feeling that they appreciated everything that I’ve done.

That’s all that I want from them and I will be the happiest person on earth.

I admit that I’m totally addicted to blogging. In fact I have been in the blogging world for quite some time now that I was able to maintain a number of blogs dedicated for each topic in my life that I feel I need to blog about.

I have been using the service of blogger.com to host all my blogs. But the last time I tried to create a blog, I tried using Wordpress for a change and since majority of my friends are using Wordpress as their blog platform and they have nothing but raves about it. So I said, why not try it.

But since I’m a blogger user ever since and I’m already used to the interface and the ins and out of blogspot, I kind of find it difficult to navigate around Wordpress and so I decided to move my Wordpress blog to blogspot and thus this blog was created.

So I moved. Same domain name of course, but different platform and I’m glad I did it as I’m more comfortable with the way blogspot works.

I have been in the blogging world for a number of years now. But I must admit I still have a lot to learn.

I remember the last time I chat with my blogging buddies, I easily got lost in the conversation as they used a lot of terms or blogging lingo that I’m really not familiar with. It’s like, I got lost in translation.

And so I said to myself, since I really love blogging, then I should learn everything about it. And the first step in doing that is learning most, if not all, of the blogging lingo. And so I Googled my way and found this article on http://www.quickonlinetips.com/ which defines the different blogging terms.

This will really be a big help for newbies and for those who really want to familiarize themselves with the blogging world. You can read the article here.
