Now You See Ads

Posted on by

Now You Don’t! Yes :yes: you don’t see ads anymore dahil inalis ko na silang lahat. I am sure that some if not many of you who visited this nonsense site of mine lately was surprised seeing several ads on my sidebar. Well, I have given it a try but after a few days, ayaw ko na silang makita. At isa pa, may mga regulasyon kasi ang affiliate na sinalihan ko na dapat sundin. Like for example: a post should be related to the product, a post must be written in english or german, topics about politic and religion is a no no and etc. Aba eh, ang lagay niyan wala na akong karapatan at kalayaang isatitik kong ano mang kabalbalan ang nasa isipan ko? Pwes kong ganun, etsafuego ko na kayo -> kaboom ->>> OUT YOU GO! Maari ko naman sanang sundin ang kanilang mga patakaran (kahit maubusan ako ng englis bokabularyo o aleman) kong talagang limpak-limpak na salapi ang aking kikitain dito. Pero ang katutuhanan sa affiliates program na yan…maaaring magkatutuo ito kong may maibinta kang produkto. Hay naku, para na rin akong nag-hintay sa wala, so mabuti pang WALA na nga! Di vah? Hindi pa naman ako magugutuman kong wala akong ads. Sa bisaya: “dili pa man intawon ko makulban ug kaldero kong wala koy ads”.

Three main reasons why I removed them.

  1. affiliate marketing seems so hard to push (wala akong tiyaga)
  2. hindi ko matatanggap na meron akong restictions sa sarili kong website (tigas ulo eh ‘tsaka ako ang nagbabayad nito ah)
  3. and to be honest, pilit ko mang ibaon sa buhangin ang prinsipyo ko…pero pumapaibabaw pa rin ito. Meaning kumukulo ang ihi ko tuwing makita ko ang mga ads dito sa mismong site ko. Peryod! (charing)

Oy yong may mga ads diyan, don’t take my words personally dahil I am speaking for myself lang ha.

I was tagged twice already before this one “My Desktop Free View“. I hope hindi sasama ang loob ng dalawang nag tag sa akin earlier dahil di ko pa ito nagawa. Pinili ko muna itong my free desktop view dahil di ko na kailangang isipan/alalahanin pa kong tama or tuwid ba ang sinulat ko.

Ms. Thekla aus Holland or Tulipland is the one who tag me this time. Theks thank you, antay ka lang pagnagkita tayo…lagot ka sa akin :thinking

Most people spend a considerable amount of time in customizing or in finding a desktop wallpaper that suits their taste. Sadly, our computers often remains… personal. Why don’t we brag to the world our good-find wallpapers and let them have a peek to our personality via our desktops?

Hmmn, spend considerable amount of time…? Nope not in my case. Customizing my desktop only occured maybe once or twice a year. I care less about it since I don’t see much of it anyway. Now let me show you a screenshot of my laptop and my home computer. Oh, this is not what we call bragging folks…it just happen that I am working on two computers. So to be fair, I have to show them both.

Five New WP Themes

Posted on by

Upon request of several people who emailed me, I am now releasing five new WordPress Themes. I thought of doing this before I get busy with my new client’s project. The company owner asked me to devote my time and attention just for them for a certain period of time since the said project is quite huge. So as promised here are the latest and not so latest themes for you to grab.

Two of the themes I am releasing were part of my school projects which I have already forgotten and one was ordered by a client who backed out. Some of you may have seen them already on my Test Blog. Now dear ones, I am so very sorry but I don’t have the ample time to write a detailed representation for each theme. For more details please visit my Test Blog and serve yourself :bigsmile (sounds like fastfood resto huh) and or you may go directly to my WordPress Themes download page.

All themes are of course widgets ready and validated.

Fading Youth & Vanity

Imagine how life would be if one day, a scientist would finally discover “The Fountain of Youth”. Or if there were some type of miracle cream that would completely eradicate all signs of aging. Wouldn’t life be soo sweet for us women then?

Unfortunately, age sneaks up on us unexpectedly, and there is no escaping the fact that we are all growing one year older every 365 days (*sigh). So what to do then? Ay ewan, basta ako I gave up na dahil di ko mapigil ang process na ito. Not even expensive and “soi disant” great skin care products that works wonder (kuno) can help. Sa tutuo lang I really don’t mind getting old, palagay na sana ang loob ko kong di lang dahil sa dalawang bagay. When I was young, dati na akong may laugh lines dahil bungisngis eh. People used to say: “your laugh lines looks cute, it shows you are a jolly person”. At present, di lang yata nila makuhang sabihin sa akin na: “ouch your laugh lines looks nakakatakyut”. Cute laugh lines now turned into ugly crows-feet, di lang yan…may kasama pa itong eyebags. These two signs of aging is what I dreaded most at present. Well, I know I have to accept/love them because they’re mine and mine alone (ngehehe). Ang mga laugh lines ko ay medyo okay lang, dahil di naman ito lumilitaw if I am frowning. Pero dios meh, my eyebags…they look like betlogs (sorry for using this word) na tumubo sa mukha ko. I have tried several skin care na (see image above), from expensive to the cheapest. Pero walang epekto, the only effect is naubos ang pera ko dahil lang dito.

A friend of mine who is a bit older than me said that I should see a plastic surgeon. Pareho daw kami ng problema, pero dati yon…dahil galing na siya sa isang “butcher” at ipinahiwa niya ang mga ito. Kong di niya sinabi sa akin yon, hindi ko mapapansin na siya ay medyo bumata nga dahil wala na ang mga eyebags niya. Good idea, I thought. Pero bigla akong natakot ng maalala ko ang aking keloid sa tiyan. I can picture it in my mind na nawala nga ang ugly eyebags ko, ang pumalit naman ay keloids na mukhang bulati. Oh how horrible. I’d rather have my betlogs looking eyebags nalang than having those bulatis on my face.

Haay, admitting that I am no longer in my thirties is quite a hard task (I’m just being honest). But pains here and there often made me aware I’m old. I have to face the fact that my youthful look is forever gone. And that I can no longer do the same things as I used to do. Oh well, life is short and worrying about this might make my life even shorter and uglier. So the best I can do is enjoy life while growing old naturally. Schönheit ist eben vergaenglich genau sowie das Leben auch…

The moral of the story (Die Moral von der Geschichte) is the lesson the story is trying to teach you.

Meron nga ba? :thinking

Me A Thief?

Posted on by

Wow what an accusation! A certain KATE of ROCK-KITTY.NET accused me of stealing her graphics and used it on my created theme called VIVACITY. She left the below message as comment in my previous post.

You’re a thief!! You’re not allowed to use my graphics to make your own theme of them! I’ve already reported you to Matt! Thief!!

http://themes.wordpress.net/columns/2-columns/447/vivacity-105

To your accusation Kate, here is my responce:

I’ve been creating WordPress Themes since 2003, my site exist long before yours. Here is your Whois details my dear:

I had a different domain before this one, just in case you’ll start wondering why I said “I started creating WP Themes since 2003″. I intentionally added our domain details here for you to compare the time difference.

Now my dear Kate, I am sure you can imagine how angry I am at the moment. You’re lucky you are out of my reach orelse I have scratched out your eyes already. See, if you possess enough brain in your head…you should have contacted me first, so we could clear things before unrighteously accusing me and reporting me to Matt. Stealing is the last thing I would ever do girl. What you did was a big big mistake, now I’m going to stuff your mouth with the truth.

I honestly never heard of you, not until the moment you left that nerve-rocking comment. With the help of great GOOGLE, I found your whereabouts. I simply put your email address, pressed enter…et voila, I got everything what I need. So, I went to your site to find out what you mean, there I saw a theme you created named “nicecolors“. The layout graphic look very similar indeed to my Vivacity theme. But girl, how can you say I have stolen your graphics, you created it around ‎April ‎19, 2007, ‏‎whereas Vivacity on the other hand was made January 16, 2006. Well, I’m not only giving you dates of creations but below is the link of Vivacity’s PSD file.

Vivacity PSD *Warning: You are granted the permission to download my very own PSD file, but take note: never ever claim it as yours orelse you will be in deep trouble!

Download it, and look at it layer per layer. Do as you are told, and when you are done, come back here and tell me again that I am a THIEF!

You have done the damage, now mend it thru asking apology in public and tell Matt you were wrong. Show me you have balls!
