Something to smile About- Bonus
Yes, we got our bonus yesterday. This early huh! Thank God for it because I was able to use it for the following:
- Start our house construction
- Pay my dues for the three remaining active cards
- Pay for our TCP’s additional expense
- Pay other bills like loans, electic bills, water and phone
And of course, the remaining will be used for the day to day allowance.
It is really something to smile about, isn’t it?
Indeed, God is good, all the time!
The Joy of Commuting
Who says that commuting or taking the public transportation could be so boring? I agree though, that if you were stuck in the traffic, it is like being imprisoned in that vehicle. But, commuting in general could be fun and entertaining. Just look at it in a different perspective.
As I go to the office today, I heard and saw lots of things. Good thing, I did not sleep, he, he!
There were these two passengers talking about American Idol show and how they route for Ramielle. They also talked about how Ryan Seacrest made fun of Ramielle’s short stature when she was told to hurry going down the stairs. They also agreed with Simon’s and Randy’s judgments of the petite Filipina’s rendition of “Take a Look at Me Now”.
The FX passed through a residential area and I saw a puppy taking a bath! It must be really hot at almost mid afternoon!
It is a Sunday so there were many different people wearing different kinds of clothes depending on what they will do for the day. I saw that others were going to Church. Some will have a date. There is another one that I think will go to a Sports Complex. Most of them, made the Jeepney stopped to a mall.
For my final ride, I saw this cute little girl seated beside the driver. Oh, he brought his wife and kid for work! What a way to spend a Family Day. At least they were together, eh! As I watched them, the driver somehow tried to cuddle the kid by touching her from time to time or tickle her. I can feel and see that they were enjoying that moment, and so was I….Yeah, so much, I missed my stop. Then, I had to walk a few meters. It was good that it was only 1145H. Just in time for my 1200 to 2100H shift!
That’s all folks! Till next time.
On writing quality reviews
Ahhhh!!! I have been here in the computer for almost two hours and I have not opened the page that I wanted to open! It says, it might be unavailable or too busy! Obviously, huh! What to do now? i do not like to write a review of something I did not actually read because that is not a review after all but just a story focusing on a title or some keywords, right?
I am tasked to review about credit cards and about the instant approval page specifically but how will I do that if the page does not open? Though, I will consider myself as an expert in credit cards because I had more than ten before. I have to write that review before 12pm because if not, I did not keep my promise, though the deadline is still on March 7!
I am now praying that the site will already be available, oh, please! If not, I guess, I just have to write a story instead of a review. What do you think?
Statistics Obsessed
I am sure that everyone is familiar with Alexa. I am obsessed with my statistics because I think I am working hard to improve it. I was victorious though for the past weeks as it kept on increasing until today! My Alexa rating went down from 885, 258 to 913, 881. That is a drop of 28, 623! I wonder what could be the problem? Am I being punished? I can see other sites that do not have an increase in their site meter counts but their Alexa rating increases by 50K each week!
I read in the Alexa site that your visitor should have the alexa widget installed at their site also so that their visit to your blog will count….So, what does it mean? It depends on the widget installation or being an Alexa member of all your visitors?
I am really disappointed because I think, my site meter or neocounter statistics should be directly proportional to my Alexa rating.
Updates: Alexa went down- 920 thousand something
today- 3/14/08- 930,347. Goinf, going down. I wonder what could have been wriong.
