Carting at its Best

I am very fond of shopping online. Apart from not going through the hassle of personally looking for an equipment and asking a sales representative regarding a product's features, the coveted object is delivered right through your doorstep should you opt for delivery (which I do).

The greatest dilemma by far when visiting websites is its being user-friendly. Some sites require you to click on several things before you can even reach the order page. What if you got faulty Internet connection or worse, the connection just freezes? you'll be left wasting an awful amount of time without even getting the most out of it.

As I was browsing through the Internet, I chanced upon this new shopping cart by Ashop. It is a highly specialized ecommerce software or shopping carts, enabling new or established businessmen a better way of augmenting their online sales.

Ashop is connected with all major banks including third party money processing companies such as Paypal.

This foe sure is a perfect venture for an online sales website I plan to have in the near future. They even offer their very own security mechanism integrated in the future website one plan to have. That seals the deal for me!

If I were in a business, I should include this Ashop shopping cart in my ventures because its all worth it.

I have been tagged!

Vera, a fellow blogger, tagged me to list down at least six weird things about myself. I, generally, find myself weird but when it comes to thinking and pondering on stuff that make yourself obnoxiously unique, your mind play tricks on you.

Now, let me start with what I think is weird but on the sane side:

1. I have a very flushed face. People call me red Rey because blushing is an understatement compared to my face. Imagine a very sick person who has had a bout with alcoholic drinks! I'm almost maroon. Hehe. ( "Rey, nakainom ka?. very common question!)

2. I am a frustrated thespian. Whenever I am not able to cry in a snap, I employ this very weird trick. I put vickz, sanitary balm or anything minty below my eyes to induce crying. Hahahaha. Call it crying like the pouring rain that never stops.

3. I am good at making weird monikers for people. Whenever, I have new friends, I never fail to make their name sound as "bantot" as possible. Example:
Rebecca - Bikaka, Krisa - Sangit or Potpot, Cleofe - Oping. Need to know more? Want to know what yours would be?

4. I have severe peculiarities in terms of food preferences: I love unripe mangoes but rarely eat a ripe one, I don't like my food to have spring onions but I love Shawarma, I'm not particularly in love with chocolates (Am I the only one?)...hehehe..

5. I love to walk. Imagine walking from F. Cabahug to Country Mall to Fuente and Back to Panagdait. That sure is a long walk but you know what's weird, it wasn't traffic at all and I have money for fare. Call it trippin!

6. I can change voices before you can even count 1. From a retarded child, to an old lady, to a cat or dog, to a foxy, sensual girl...name it I can do it all...hehehe...

Instruction: Each player of this game starts with 6 weird things about themselves. People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own 6 weird things as well as state the rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Don’t forget to leave a comment that says you are tagged in their comments and tell them to read your blog.


Now you know much about me, I would like to know 6 weird things from these people: shemdgoddess, crazyelaine, olech, shellaboang

Falling out of LOVE?

Love’s lessons
By Melanie Lim.

I can’t claim to be a guru. But in matters of the heart, I’ve learned a thing or two.

Despite what we think, men really can’t read our minds. A few have been blessed with this supernatural ability but for the rest of the mortal males, they need to be reminded to remember; they need to be told to take action.

So stop expecting a surprise on your birthday or anniversary or you might truly be surprised.

Say the words—don’t let the moment pass. But if that time has come and gone, don’t beat yourself to pulp. To ruminate in regret for the rest of your life benefits no one. Mourn but move on. It’s all right to let your tears fall but no public wailing please.

If you don’t feel loved, you’re probably right. Stop making excuses for the man in your life. He can’t be busy all the time. He can’t be perpetually clumsy and clueless. When you feel the interest waning, it probably has waned. If he can’t make room in his life for you now, it isn’t likely he ever will.

If he is not brave enough to tell you he no longer loves you then ask him yourself if it is true. Don’t bawl at the truth. Take it like a woman. Bow out gracefully. There is no shame in no longer being loved only in clinging on to someone who no longer loves you.

Don’t ask why. You don’t need to know. You need it for closure? You do not need him to recite your faults and failings—real or imagined. He does not need to hear your rebuttal either. He has rested his case. He no longer loves you—that should be enough closure for you. Let it be. You do not need to know everything.

Sometimes, love dies—for no logical reason. But then again, there is no logic in falling in love so falling out should follow the same pattern. Remember, you can’t love for two. And you can’t compel anyone to love you—despite how wonderful you may truly be.

It’s still best to break up amicably. Should you keep in touch? Why not? Should you hang out? What for? You can stay civil and compassionate with each other but you don’t have to be friends if you don’t want to. You don’t have to be mortal enemies but you don’t have to be bosom buddies either.

I’ve learned that with age, I don’t have to be wiser—just braver. To love someone is a blessing. But to stop loving someone is not necessarily a tragedy. The dateless need not be desperate on Valentine’s Day. They can actually be—simply delighted to be free.

It is a liberating feeling to no longer pine for anyone—not exactly where I expected to be at this time in my life. But I can’t say I’m disappointed. It actually feels pretty good to be able to find the courage to be finally free. I’ve learned to be happy without a man and that, to me, is a gift far greater than anything a man could ever give me.

Note: Melanie Lim Is one of my favorite columnists in a local newspaper. Although I rarely buy it for the news but when I do, it is her column that I read first. It's not that I don't like the other columnists, its just that she writes with simplicity. She is very direct to the point and that's what I love about her.

A Hero Once Again

This morning, Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao, tagged as the boxing hero of the Philippines proved that he was the better in his bout between Antonio Barrera Of Mexico. I personally was not able to watch the match but as the news would say, the valiant fighters fought twelve rounds of grueling pound-per-pound body beating where in the end, the Filipino protagonist emerged victorious.

All the same, it was not a humiliating defeat for the Mexican. It was predicted by boxing analysts and aficionados that he would not last more than 3 rounds and succumb to a knockout. However, he proved everybody wrong by fighting the Pacquiao- a younger and a lot fitter fighter at the prime of his career - to the last bell. He indeed earned the respect of the Filipinos.

Barrera- the older and probably, wiser fighter - did employ some dirty tricks in the game when he still pounced on Manny while the referee was breaking them off. An act of wisdom? I don't think so.

Nevertheless, it was a win for the Philippines and as of presstime, Filipinos from all over the world are celebrating in jubilation of yet another success of a fellow Filipino.
