Tic-tac-tic-tac...tic-tac-toe. Haha. Few more TICKS and I'll turn 25! It also means that there's one more day left before my birthday contest officially closes. Join now!

I'll be off from work for 4 days and I'm so excited to hang out with my boyfriend! Yay! Looking forward to a birthday blast. Lina is the first person, rather machine (auto-generated email) to greet me in advance. Sweet. Can I count on your heartfelt greetings, too? Come on, shower me with best birthday wishes and I might give you a blow out!


Hope every visitor can drop their comment. :) I'll create the linky love later. Thanks!

Why Home Buddies? Because this is not all about Fedhz, but her and the other body buddy - Mike! So guys, keep blogging to keep the flame err connection alive. *cheesy*

This blog is primarily intended for different reviews of Fedhz' online and offline revenue gigs but it also includes her personal escapades. Other than that, you may find posts about her outlook in life, interests, struggles, deep thoughts and more.

The first common thing that I've noticed about Fedhz is our OC-ness when it comes to the spelling of our names/nicknames. Haha. Sorry if I mispelled it as fehdz on my sister's tag. One word to describe her - STRAIGHTFORWARD. I also like the way she deal with other people around the blogosphere. Good job for living by the "Blogging Etiquettes". I've learned more about her by reading "A Published Draft" which serves as her digital autobiography. (I wonder how to employ that embedded object - pageflip... Haha.)

Of course my favorite section on her blog is the "money talks" a.k.a. online earnings. You may check the side bars for her recent earning reports!

Prizes:
Be Mine necklace & earrings
Vanilla strawberry lip cream
Velvet leopard mini drawstring baggie
Leopard box

How To Join:
1. Follow Sanctuary.
2. Post your comment along with your email address on the contest post.
3. Blog about this mini-giveaway. (A MUST!)

How's your Paypal Wishlist experience? Because no one bothered to join me on this Paypal Wishlist application at Facebook, I've only earned $1! Haha. Not bad, only proves that it's a legitimate promotion. I wonder why my FB friends prefer Farmville over this earning-app.

Anyway, I'm not that active on Facebook so I was not able to tell the whole world about it. No hard selling done so my campaign was not successful. But it's okay.

Pinay Mommy Online is a collection of mommy moments, random thoughts, product reviews and one woman's opinions.

The mom behind this blog is truly dedicated to her children. Her kids are so lucky. Since I always visit this blog, I have seen a lot of her uploaded pictures. Wow! She got the looks and she has a wonderful family. If you want to know more about Baby Bella, Kuya David and Ate Micah... you may give her a visit.

It is also from Mommy Ruby that I learned about the Johnson's and Johnson's freebies! Yes, this blog can provide you update about the latest craze, online or offline. She is a proud member of Negros Bloggers and Pinay Mommies. She has a very wide network and I am happy I stumbled upon her site. You can even add your blogs in her directory for free.

Everybody is entitled to their own opinions and The Blogging Mama shares her own here. By the way she talk and carry herself, I can sense that she is an empowered woman. She is actually blogging for a cause and currently supporting several advocacy. To name some, we have Eddie Villanueva's presidential campaign, "Prevent Child Abuse" campaign, and others.

I like the way she tackles the child abuse issue because it can really increase people's awareness. She is also a supporter of Bantay Bata 163 and Child Help. With all of these, it is obvious that the author is a loving mother.

Aside from current issues being discussed on her blog, there are also other helpful entries that cater to readers from all walks of life. Whether you want to be healthy and more beautiful, in need of personal finance management assistance, political insights and more; you can find answers from her. It will not hurt to post some comments, too!

I have featured Ritz of girlblogger.net before because I was so thankful of the free layout from her. The current theme of BHO is my prize for winning on her contest. She is also the one who designed Pinkville's and Spread the W.O.R.D's layout.

She is very fond of 3-column layout and she always comes up with a unique and attractive design. Creating pink layout is her addiction, too. What's good about it is that she let anyone grab her free blogger templates!

I am a loyal visitor and EC dropper of A Girl Blogger that's why I'm up to date about her life. I also learned a lot of things from her posts especially from product or website reviews. This young girl is so vibrant that you will really enjoy talking with her. Drop your engaging comments and be ready for a lively conversation!

Best of all, I will always admire her superb talent in customizing blogger layout. Give her a visit, who knows, she may give you a layout as a freebie. *wink*

Contest lovers will definitely love isherrygo.com. And Sherry, in turn also loves contest! Other than this one, she has a handful of contest blogs that consistently stick to its respective niche. Just to let you know, she has over 30 blogs and all of them participated in my first contest/birthday contest.

isherrygo.com is dedicated to different contests in the blogosphere, current promotions, freebies, discounts and more! This is really a convenient site to visit because it covers not only online contests but even local events, bazaar sales and others.


The Malaysian girl behind this blog will definitely catch the hearts of other girl readers. She has got style!

There Is Happiness is a truly entertaining blog. Aside from being an online journal, it is also a good source of reliable information. It does not focus on the length of each post but on the content itself.

It has a wide range of topics that includes accessories, computers, kids, celebration, finance, parenting, shopping and more.

From June 2008 up to January 2010, the tone of the writer's post hasn't change at all. It is still full of life and hope. Even the post about the funeral was carefully written without sinking into negative emotions.

Also, there are reliable reviews that you can read. TH is consistently updated so you can always get the latest online trend.

Now I know why this blog is entitled There Is Happiness!

After reading the latest blog post at Adgitize I decided to check my AdgiScore and Traffic Ratings. With this enhanced feature, I believe it would be easier to track your website's daily traffic.


Other Blogs within the Bloguardian Hellsite: OverCashed Family

Bloguardian Hellsite: OverCashed

The lower the numbers, the better.

Traffic Rating - Adgitize ranking of all active publishers by the amount of traffic (page views) they receive. The goal is to give information on how much traffic a blog receives.

AdgiScore - a measurement of how active a publisher is. The score is derived from the amount of traffic a blog receives, how active they are at clicking Adgitize Member Ads and how often they write new articles to their blog.

For me those details are reliable because it is synchronized with my Page Rank. Bloguardian Hellsite is PR3, Spread the Word is PR1, and Pinkville is PR0.

Visit AdgiScore Page to check your blog data.

Woooh! I think this has something to do with the contest prize I haven't received yet: an autographed copy of "A Puppy, Not A Guppy" by Holly Jahangiri.

I don't know what happened but they've got my mailing address WRONG!

Etsy is an online place for you to to buy and sell handmade items. Take a look at Mom Gen's pride:
Momgen's Corner sells clear envelopes, scrap supplies, papers and more!

DarlingRose Paper Goods includes handmade greeting cards, business cards, tags, clipboards and others.

Hope you've found lovely products and unique gift ideas!

Pretty Bambie's AZUMI : My Kawaii Princess' Story is all about her daughter Anzu. The fabulous momma behind this blog is so dedicated to her family and her daily posts provides her avid readers an update about her whereabouts. Which is a good thing because her online journal is worth-visiting!

Aside from her creativity, both in posting entries and crafting images, (rather photography talents) her life in Japan makes me more inspired. Yes, I want to travel around the world and Japan is on my list. I'd love to see the cherry blossoms and I'd love to wear those schoolgirl's mini-skirts. Haha. (Ooops! I'm an anime fanatic. That's something random.)

Now, before I get out of lane, let me tell you that Bambie has a very interesting lovestory! Sshhhh. Cheesy? Not really. I don't know if I'll be allowed to share it here so if you want, just ravage through her archives or check her other blog. Surely you can find your way by clicking the banner below. Check it out and be inspired by one pretty mommy!

About This Book:

About to be executed for murder, Yelena is offered a reprieve. She'll eat the best meals, have rooms in the palace, and risk assassination by anyone trying to kill the Commander of Ixia. And so Yelena chooses to become a food taster. But the chief of security, leaving nothing to chance, deliberately feeds her Butterfly's Dust, and only by appearing for her daily antidote will she delay an agonizing death from the poison. As Yelena tries to escape her dilemma, disasters keep mounting. Rebels plot to seize Ixia and she develops magical powers she can't control. Her life’s at stake again and choices must be made. But this time the outcomes aren’t so clear.

At first I have no idea about this contest but after visiting Cherry Mischievous, I was enlightened and got too excited to join!

A Woman Remembers is one of the inspiring blogs I came across with. Even though I don't know Czaroma personally, I can say that she has a positive and caring attitude. She has a different way of viewing life and the best post I found on her blog is A Woman Remembers 100 Moments of 2009. This is impressing for me because it gives me a glimpse of her life. And yes, I can't help it but admire this woman.

With all the accomplishments and achievements briefly enumerated, she is obviously remembering everything about her life. Not only that, it is a proof of her uniqueness and excellence as a woman! Besides, it only tells me one thing. She values everything in her life plus it highlights her bright outlook in life. Most people will post a "Goodbye 2009" in a lonely tone as a year-ender but her approach is truly commendable. She commemorates all the positive things that had happened so as to welcome 2010 cheerfully.

I don't mean to focus on a single blog entry but this post really caught my attention and it really speaks for her true character. I am happy to meet her (online) and it makes me even proud to be a woman!

"The life and love of a woman. Her journey as she lives a life in sweetness and serenity. Her thoughts and feelings reflecting her everyday experiences, her views, her passion, life events and everything else."

Fashion and Beauty Craze provides information about fashion and beauty regimen. At first I thought I'm still browsing Learn and Earn Online, but I'm not. San san owns this blog as well but this is entirely of a different niche.

This is all about the latest fashion and beauty craze plus other online contests. The most recent posts are about Whooga Ugg Boots and heeled shoes. There are also encouraging entries about wearing comfty shirts over blouses. She has a good taste of her own and her preference is amazingly unique.

Another good thing about this blog is the bazaar updates. So, if you are really after fashion good deals and other excellent goodies, visit FBC and find the best ones for you. Louis Vuitton bag was once featured here because of its beauty and elegance. Despite its simplicity, this blog can also be a shoppaholic's guide.

"I've spent my whole life dreaming. Now is the time to make those dreams a reality"
- Dreamer's Journey

Realm Of A Dreamer is a dreamer's real haven. This serves as San San's online diary plus cutesy shoppe. Though there are no updates recently, the blog itself has spoken enough of the simple dreamer. Of course she has a life off-cam, rather offline. Imagine her simultaneously doing all of these: studying, reviewing, practicing, forum moderating and Facebook game playing. That's gonna be though! Haha.

Have you asked yourself; what is your ultimate dream? I did. Though this makes me curious about hers...

You might want to explore San San's world as well. It's all about her life.. her love.. her passion.. her mistakes.. her lessons.. her way of thinking.. who she was.. and who she is...

I won the second prize from "I Draw For A Living's" Christmas Giveaway and now, Lizz is hosting another contest!

It's Yuuki again!
Oh no, it's not.
Trust me, it's about her!

Yuuki says, "It's not always about me, but most of the time it is..." Nice quote. She's so upbeat and unique and that makes a blogger more interesting to deal with. Her life in Dubai makes me envy her. I wish I can travel around the world, too. I wish I can drive a car and buy tons of book. But this is not about me. It's all about Yuuki. I am happy for her and I'm glad I've known her through TalkPH.

Yuuki is a creative girl in her own. The recent Kris Kringle Promo drives more visitors to her blog. This introduced new readers to her exciting life and reliable posts. This online journal does not only revolves around Yuuki's life. She also discusses random stuff that fascinates me. Take for example, the importance of a grocery list. And there's something more to be proud of - Yuuki's blog is now PR3! Why not? She's publishing good content and so dedicated with bloghopping and I believe she can also share you more of her secrets behind this.

Get to know Yuuki and find out why Forever Young is her favorite movie! Can you be her Mel Gibson?

This Drama Queen is obviously addicted to Asian Dramas. She's not over-emoting but her brand new layout speaks for her. For the last few months up to this point, I am updated with her latest KDrama addiction more specifically with You're Beautiful. Yuuki slept late at night just to have a handful of episodes. She will bade you her online goodbye then will suddenly bombard you with YM messages saying that she's going gaga over *insert Asian Drama here* LOL!

What's good about her addiction is that she shares her feedback and opinions. She even embedded Youtube videos on her posts and series of screenshots of her favorite scenes. She's kind enough to post a brief overview and casts description for every KDrama she's currently into.

There's something we have to look forward about her blog this 2010:

Drama Club – everything about upcoming or all-time favorite drama
Featured Artist – facts about the hottest Asian celebrity
OST Pick – fall in love with the sound track over and over again
Sticky Note – random news on Asian entertainment scene

When it comes to KDrama reviews, let's trust the Drama Queen!

Just received my December payment a while ago:

I felt the same thing, too and to keep the harmonious relationship with my boyfriend and other people around me, I simply set their expectations.

~Fixing my bad sleeping habits. When I say bad, it is either over sleeping or not getting enough sleep at all. Why should I fix it? And why is it the first one I have stated? Because a lot of people are complaining about it. My boyfriend, family and friends. Most of the time, I slept without informing the one I am texting with that I will do so. They find it irritating especially my boyfriend awaiting for my reply. At work, people also don’t like to deal with me if I am obviously still sleepy. I admit I become moody and snap easily if I missed so many hours of sleep. I am trying to work on this bad habit of mine using different methods including the 21-day-breaking-the-bad-habit ritual to no success. So I wanted to start my 2010 right. I will try my best to fix this bad sleeping habit. It’s not just for the people around me but most of all for my self because it is also compromising my health.

~To be a little softer with my words. People used to tell me that I'm so frank to the point that I am hurting others. I don't mean to tell lies, but I can change the tone of my voice. Afterall, it's not what we say, but how we say it. :)

~To be more professional in such a way that I have to lower down my voice when having a conversation with my co-workers. I don't want to get too much attention because of being noisy or too loud.

~I will reply promptly to text messages. I am a fan of 'Sori, l8 reply...' and I wish to change that bad habit. Aside from being busy, sometimes, I feel like not replying at all.

Whew. These remind me of our check-in question on our last E-Magazine editorial meeting.

So, how will I act upon those resolution?

1. Manage time wisely. Prioritize things so as to avoid cramming and stress, this can give me a sound sleep. :)

2. Focus on my job specifications. I am free to gossip and roam around during my break time.

3. Use the sandwich effect. Positive+Negative+Positive comments. No one can stop me from saying what I really want to say, but I can lessen the negative impact by dong it the right way.

4. Set proper expectation. Tell others about my schedule so that they will understand what is taking me so long to reply. But the best thing to do is to send reply to urgent text messages.
