Was talking to my former household head about the struggles I am going through right now. The conversation went something like this...
Me: Can I hibernate from SFC for a while?
Him: Why? What's happening?
Me: I don't know. I just feel tired and exhausted from all these.
Him: So let's see what you have added to your life this year. You added a GG *God's Gift aka boyfriend*. You added more service by becoming a household head. You added more projects which is inevitable because of the nature of your work. So what do you think you should give up?
Me: Ummm...
Him: You barely go out with us anymore so you've given up your social life. Is it the GG? Is it the job? Or is it your service? You know that you are now responsible for your own household.
Me: Sabi ko nga e. I'll just give up more sleep just to accommodate all those.
Yey! Praise God for opportunities for service, for the air the we breathe, for this awesome life, for the people around us who always reminds us of how much He loves us. Thank you Lord for busy days and daily trials and struggles that teaches us to be better persons.

Free Webmaster Detection Tool
One time my boss told me that he has a prospective client who wants a software that would parse through a file containing email addresses of different people. The software will output a database of people's names and email addresses which will later be sold to different companies so they can spam these people with emails containing products they sell. Of course this is a cheap way of doing mass marketing. Think about how many thousands of email addresses they can spam in a day and how many people can possibly respond to these emails and actually do a purchase. It is a big business! But as a web developer, I have always hated spam messages to the extent of banning them from my inbox. So how could I create a program that will be an accessory to this kind of activity when first and foremost, I am against it. I guess sometimes you just have to stand up for what you believe in. Even if it's a profitable project for my company, I did not like working for the project because it was against the values I believe in.
As a web developer, website security is as important as the content of a website. Most website hackers and credit card frauds are done by anonymous proxy users. Anonymous proxy basically hides the real IP address of the user which makes it easier for them to commit fraud over the internet. IP2Proxy is an IP Address Detection tool that allows you to detect anonymous proxy server users. This well made application makes it easy for website owners to use this proxy detection. Using this tool, website owners can easily differentiate legitimate website visitors from hackers or spammers using a simple query to a backend proxy list. So if you're planning to put up an e-commerce site, this tool is a must have. Do check out their site for their IP2Proxy IP-COUNTRY Anonymous Proxy List.

Color Quiz
I swear, this test is so true for me. Take you quiz here.
Your Existing Situation
"Is strong willed and unwilling to take advice from others; however, finds herself currently in a dangerous situation which finding a solution should be top priority."
Your Stress Sources
"Would love a partner with which to share a happy and conflict free existence, but her need for individuality causes her to be over critical and demanding. This leads to problems and disagreements, bringing them close and then pushing them apart, so that her ideal situation can never be fully developed. Though she wants to satisfy her desires, she holds back a part of himself, never allowing herself to give her to those urges. she believes that by holding back she is showing herself as a superior person who is a cut above the rest. she is critical, particular, and a taste for the finer things; she is judgmental and feels it necessary to express her thoughts and opinions as if they are correct. she enjoys original yet subtle beauty and strives to make friends with only those whose tastes are as refined as her and who can help stimulate and increase her intellect. she desires others to admire her and view her as a highly respected individual."
Your Restrained Characteristics
Current events leave her feeling forced into compromise in order to avoid being cut off from affection or future cooperation.
Giving more than she is getting back and feels misunderstood and unappreciated. Feels she is being forced into compromising and even her close relationships leave her feeling emotional distant.

More Top Three's
During the retreat last weekend, one of the brothers asked who were my top 3 crushes at the retreat. And I asked him if it was ok to still have crushes even if I already have a GG (god's gift). And then he said it should be ok because it's just crush and the GG is not even at the retreat. Hahaha.
The other day, I asked GG who was his top 3 ACC's last year. ACC as in After Conference Crush. FYI, I met him at the conference last year in San Diego and it was where it all started. And this was his reply...
"I only thought about you after conference... naks!"
Hahaha. I kept laughing after he said that and I teased him that he did not even ask for my number at the conference so I don't really believe what he said. He said that he tried dancing with me that Saturday evening at the conference but I was too close to a sister that he couldn't go very near me. LOL. He told me that I can ask one of the bros we were sharing the table with because he told the bro that I was the cutest among the sisters seated at the table. Naks! Haha. He also said he was waiting for me to turn around during the sharing of peace at the Sunday Mass but I didn't so he wasn't able to kiss me. He also said he felt bad that we (me and 2 other sisters) left sunday afternoon and didnt make it to the beach party that conference weekend and was not able to say goodbye to me. Awww... I now believe that I was his after conference crush last year. Hahaha.

Designer Living Room
After I moved here in Arizona and been living for more than a year in a fully-furnished rented apartment, I've been wishing to move to an unfurnished apartment so I can start buying my own furnitures. Everyday, I would go online and surf for 2 bedroom apartments in the Scottsdale area and just try to imagine how I would want to furnish my apartment. Would there be a theme or a specific color that I want my next apartment should have? When I saw these designer sofas from Spacify.com, I got more excited in getting a new unfurnished apartment. I so want this sleeper sofa that I found in the Spacify website. Since I will just be getting a 2 bedroom apartment, I will need extra sleeping space for my guests. The modern designs from their Living Room Furniture collection is amazing! Check out their website by clicking on the link. They really have modernly stylish designs that would surely look nice in your home. Now I just need to work my ass off to afford these designer furnitures.
Top 3 Non-Negotiables
I was in a retreat last weekend in Yucaipa, CA and the hot-hot topic during Saturday evening's fellowship is this...
What are your top 3 non-negotiables in a lifepartner?
Here are my answers:
1. should be God-fearing
2. should be very patient (he should understand me and the nature of my job)
3. should be a family man (who would put the best interest of our family above his own)
I asked the same question to my GG (God's Gift. naks!) and here are his answers:
1. Should have a decent education (college education)
2. Should be able to be a good mother and know how to take care of family
3. Should be open minded and be aware of news and political issues that are current
( and also she should like pets j/k)
I told him I'll fail his #3 non-negotiable. Hahaha.
