Debbie's Towel Wrap Gift

Ah, Christmas is in the air. The winds are blowing cold air as it brushes our skin. Forty three days more to go and I shall be opening a box neatly wrapped in glossy wrapper, while, inside it is my favorite pink or red personalized bath wrap that my friend Debbie promised to send me over the holidays.. The yellow terry towel wrap need to take a bow this year as it has already taken its toll on itself, lol. It's not nice looking anymore, as it is not as comfortable as it was the first time it was worn. So I am really happy when Debbie said that I will be getting what I wanted to get. And Lili, her god child will get the personalized ink stamps that she requested.

As for Debbie, she is getting what she wanted from me all these years... Unfortunately guys, I will not tell you what that is. It's a secret between friends... Over all, there is really nothing that could compare to our friendship. That, in itself is a wonderful holiday present...

Wanna Play Paintball?

Clint is eying the tippmann 98 or the tippman 98 custom for his Ultimate Paintball craze. They sell Tippmann, Spyder, Smart Parts, Dye, Empire, Draxxus paintball gear plus many more brands which can be found on their website.

Previously, Clint searched far and wide for stores and sites that sell them, but have not found any. And thanks to Google and my ever fast fingers, we found www.pntball.com where top selling guns like the Tippmann A-5, Tippmann 98 Custom, Smart Parts Ion, Tippmann X7, and Spyder MR1 could be found. Clint happy, I am happy too. Ultimate Paintball offers the best prices with free shipping.

Locally, only a few stores here in Cagayan de Oro sells paint ball gear, but with all these craze going on, it is actually best to go online..

Star ng Pasko (Star of Christmas)

I love this ABS-CBN station Christmas jingle.. I had to look for this and post it here to share its message.. So TRUE! Whatever storm we go through in life, we can surely move on so long as we keep faith...

Lyrics Below:

Star ng Pasko
Performed by: ABS-CBN Artists

Kung kailan pinakamadilim
Ang mga tala ay mas nagniningning
Gaano man kakapal ang ulap
Sa likod nito ay may liwanag

Ang liwanag na ito
Nasa ‘ting lahat
Mas sinag ang bawat pusong bukas
Sa init ng mga yakap
Maghihilom ang lahat ng sugat

Ang nagsindi nitong ilaw
Walang iba kundi ikaw
Salamat sa liwanag mo
Muling magkakakulay ang pasko
Salamat sa liwanag mo
Muling magkakakulay ang pasko

Tayo ang ilaw sa madilim na daan
Pagkakapit bisig ngayon higpitan
Dumaan man sa malakas na alon
Lahat tayo’s makakaahon

Ang liwanag na ito
Nasa ‘ting lahat
Mas sinag ang bawat pusong bukas
Sa init ng mga yakap
Maghihilom ang lahat ng sugat

Ang nagsindi nitong ilaw
Walang iba kundi ikaw
Salamat sa liwanag mo
Muling magkakakulay ang pasko
Salamat sa liwanag mo
Muling magkakakulay ang pasko

Kikislap ang pag-asa
Kahit kanino man
Dahil ikaw Bro, dahil ikaw Bro
Dahil ikaw Bro
Ang star ng pasko

Salamat sa liwanag mo
Muling magkakakulay ang pasko
Salamat sa liwanag mo
Muling magkakakulay ang pasko

Ang nagsindi nitong ilaw
Walang iba kundi ikaw
Salamat sa liwanag mo
Muling magkakakulay ang pasko

Ang nagsindi nitong ilaw
Walang iba kundi ikaw
Salamat sa liwanag mo
Muling magkakakulay ang pasko

Ang nagsindi nitong ilaw
Walang iba kundi ikaw
Salamat sa liwanag mo
Muling magkakakulay ang pasko

Dahil ikaw Bro, dahil ikaw Bro
Dahil ikaw Bro
Ang star ng pasko!

Singing Bowls

You must be surprised at the same time astonished as to what singing bowls are all about. Well, for one thing, they are not your every day bowl that you use for serving soups or other tasty foodies. No sir! They are actually similar to gongs or bells that other religions use during prayer. In Buddhism, you will most likely encounter the singing bowls. My first encounter was in 1997, when I joined the Buddhist community in Cagayan de Oro City, namely, the Soka Gakkai International. I was astonished to hear the ringing, reverberating, healing sound as it was being used during the evening Gongyo... In fact, I was fascinated by it, that when I received my GoHonZon a few months after, I also bought all the necessary accessories to prayer; my butzudan, juzo beads and of course, the small singing bowl. Every time I chant Nam Myoho Renge Kyo repetitively in front of the GoHonZon, and end chanting with Gongyo, by the use of the singing bowl, I feel that the universe have already answered all my intentions, thus creating a circle of positivity and positive results abound. What ever problems or goals that I have, for as long as I chant, do Gongyo and use the singing bowl as I pray, everything is in place...

However, since I am the only Buddhist in the family, I preferred to go back to church with my family, but contrary to what is expected, I am still practicing the best practices in Buddhism, not to mention the positive outlook in life... Anyway, just to give you a hint further, I am also studying other religions and practices. I take the good from every lesson I learn for the peace and harmony of human kind... ahh.. I think that will have to go in another post...

So going back to the singing bowls, I read an article today and what actually drove me to write this post is the article I read at www.silverskyimports.com and it's about the importance of singing bowls in Tibetan Buddhism, at the same time, in healing . It was mentioned that the sound that Crystal Singing Bowls bring differ from that of the other kinds of singing bowls because it is made of quartz crystals. And as we all know, crystal is proven to be more effective than any other mineral. According to the article, a sound healer or the person who uses singing bowls for healing, may use a singing bowl to help on a guided meditation or an inspired visualization of healing.

PPC Campaign Management

I was told by a fellow blogger and fellow business woman that if we should look for a new business, we should look into a Search Marketing Campaign first. Then proceed with a PPC Campaign Management... Hmm. I didn't quite get what she meant at first, but after I went through the website, globerunnerseo.com, I was able to grasp what she was talking about and indeed, she is making sense. Thanks Mommy Yen...

My first question was "Why should I do That?", and the site explains that a search marketing campaign helps to determine which keywords will be profitable for us and the business. Of course, these profits would later on be translated into money. So knowing these thing will also help us determine which keywords will waste our money, hence, we should be able to avoid it before it happens. I should know these things since, by experience, I know for a fact that Pay-per-click advertising costs are constantly rising. There was even one company that I joined in that made me pay but the promised results never came. So I had to stop or lose more money. Anyway, as the site mentioned, a Globe Runner search marketing campaign helps to make our pay-per-click as cost effective as possible. Using their experience, they can create, manage, and continually improve our campaign, increasing our return on the investment.

I guess that makes a lot of sense. They create and manage campaigns on leading search engines like Google, Yahoo, and Bing while these campaigns not only implement conversion tracking, but also lead to sales, generate leads, direct traffic to our site-instantly, and lastly, provide valuable information regarding keywords that can be used in future SEO campaigns... Ah..

Makes perfect sense.. If all these seem vague to you, as it was previously to me, simply visit the site I visited...

Communicating Through Facebook Apps

The image above was taken from my facebook Farmtown window. My sister Sweet harvested my pineapples and of course, to save me on costs, I asked her to plow my fields too. So while she was doing the harvesting and the plowing, we exchange chit chats because the application allows for users to chat while playing.. When it's all done, Lili takes over and she does the planting.. On my sister's end, it's our baby brother that plants the fields, lol...

Farmtown and all other applications have made facebook a hit because it does not only allow for communication, it also makes sure that every facebook user is happy while there...
