It is clearly not the journey for everyone. People succeed in as many ways as there are people. Some can be completely fulfilled with destinations that are much closer to home and more comfortable. But if you long to keep going, then I hope you are able to follow my lead to the places I have gone. To within a whisper of your own personal perfection. To places that are sweeter because you worked so hard to arrive there. To places at the very edge of your dreams.

Dear friends, I am very sorry to tell you that I will be taking HIATUS for an INDEFINITE time. I will be so busy with lots of things. Lots of things have been happening since I have last written, hence my total lack of updating whingyness.

You surely noticed that I have changed my “THEME”. Well, the new design is suited to my new lifestyle. My role as stay-at-home mom will be ending on October 1. Magiging career woman na naman si Tita Poorshya niyo. Pero bago yan magsimula, maraming bagay pa kaming dapat ayusin at asikasuhin. Ang buhay naming magpamilya will totally change this time. Hubby and I will be working together. In a new place, new home and new surroundings, where we will meet lots of new people.

So KAUDERWELSCH is going on hiatus. There will be no new stories or events for a while, but this site will remain accessible to everyone. There is no timetable for a return date, but stay tuned.

Thanks everyone! Wish us luck on the new adventure of our life…

Watermark your images through using “WATERMARK PLUGIN” (applicable for self-hosted Wordpress blogs only). I never thought I will need such a thing, not until I encountered the mutating Ellumbra who has stolen and manipulated my photos. Well anyway, his work does not impress me at all…and I think he also believes that he can provoke me through comparing me with a Nazi soldier. Hehehe, what a ninny.

I am sure marami na siyang nanakaw na pictures namin but it is not yet too late to protect my images with a watermark. Just like CathCath said: “It is easier to make the complain if you have that mark.” Kaya heto ako’t may natagpuang plugin for this purpose. To those who are interested, you may proceed to the site of Marekki and download the plugin. It works like a charm and user friendly. See sample image above.

Lelet a non-blogger, newly met friend (internet) of mine left this as comment on my other site. I thought of publishing this here on Lukaret because I find her message really encouraging. And I also would like to share this to some friends in real life na ‘medyo’ nagulat or puzzled sa aking pagbabago.

Hello Beng,
I’m Glad to met you here..the other side of you. parang abot kamay ko lang ang Germany thru reading your site though parang nasa Butuan din ako…hihihi…Though I don’t know you much but for sure buotan ka day thru what i read in this pages. What more can I say…ayu-ayo din ha!

May this encourage you:

If there are people in your life that continually disappoint you, break promises, and stomp on your dreams, too judgmental, have different values and don’t have your back during difficult times…that is not a friend. Sometimes in life as you grow, your friends will either grow or go.

Remember what your elders used to say, “Birds of the same feather flock together.” If you’re an eagle, don’t hang around with chickens: Chickens Can’t Fly!

Take care always
lelet

Now let me relate a bit…

Sometimes in life as you grow, your friends will either grow or go.

There is truth in every word you have in here. I can relate dahil nadaanan ko ito. I grow and changed for the better and some friends are left behind dahil naging magkaiba na ang values namin sa buhay. To me values are those things that really matter to each of us … the ideas and beliefs we hold as special. Caring for others, for example, is a value; so is the freedom to express our opinions.

Speaking of “Freedom to express our opinions.” I would like to share some words of wisdom to some friends (again) who have trouble with accepting critic or opinion. I believe, that a constructive critic is made in order to help a person to become himself or herself into a better person, or, say, to become his or her work into a better one. And I know that criticism, however constructive, can be hard to take. Nonetheless, it’s imperative that you take it well, and even with grace and style. It’s about how you can improve on something, make some thing better. You must understand and accept this if you are to listen to what others have to say with an open mind and heart.

So here we go…
Honesty is a prerequisite to a friendship. There must be a willingness to speak the truth, and a willingness to hear the truth. Friends who do not care enough to confront may save themselves a little awkwardness in the present but will end up losing their friendships in the future.

And as the saying goes…
Remember what your elders used to say, “Birds of the same feather flock together.”

Individuals of like character, taste, or background (tend to stay together). Or People of the same (usually, unscrupulous) character associate with one another, as do birds of the same species. The birds will resort unto their like, so will truth return unto them that practise in her.

I love this part very much!
If you’re an eagle, don’t hang around with chickens. Chickens Can’t Fly!
Hehehe, ganun ba yon? Though, chicken can fly din di ba? Hindi nga lang ganun kataas sa lipad ng agila.

This part actually belongs to the quote Lelet left on my comment box, hindi niya lang ito idinagdag. I found it somewhere else.
Over the years my phone book has changed because I changed for the better. At first you think you’re going to be alone, but after a while new people show up in your life that make your life so much sweeter and easier to endure.

AND IT IS SO TRUE!

Hello friends…hello mga kapuso, mga kabisyo and hello to all lurkers around. Yes, I’m still kicking and alive and busy running around here in Davao. I have so many things to say to you pero hindi ko pamakuhang gawin ito sa ngayon. Si lola niyo ay wala pang DSL connection. Naka dial-up lang si ako ngayon kaya tumataas ang mga kilay ko sa inis dahil super bagal nga naman po. Pinakilos ko na nga ang pera para kunyari maging madali ang pagkilos ng contractor ng PLDT. Pero heto at kuwarisma nga naman ano kaya hindi pa rin na activate ang linya ko. Kunting tiis nalang and I hope makapag online na ako this week regularly. So, stay tuned lang muna kayo diyan hanggang sa muli kong pagbabalik. I MISS YOU ALL!!!

Thanks to Technorati Links on my dashboard, I found out that two sites has copied my content about traveling to Australia.

See screenshots:

Site URL: http://travel.xpk2.com/?p=11864

Site URL: http://www.travelersmax.com/travel/have-you-got-the-travel-bug/

I have “copyrightfeeds” installed but this doesn’t help because the site owner copied and pasted an excerpt of my entry manually.

You guys should congratulate me because I made it to the bottom. Some of you may also say “Welcome to the club!” See the image below? Google has slashed my PR from 5 to 3 just few minutes ago! Thank you dear GOOGLE for doing this to me. With this, I can continue dreaming. See, I’m just a pathetic paid blogger who dreamed to finance the education of my children from what I earned. Now what are you going to do next? Put my PR to 0? Just go ahead and I’ll say thank you again from the bottom of my whatever.

According to Ratified, I even reached PR 6 but unfortumately I never saw it.

My hiatus officially ended today. Hindi na kasi makapagpigil kaya heto apir na ulit ako dito. Honestyl speaking, I am almost done with my work na kaya pwede na akong magliwaliw.

By the way, sa mga nagtag pala sa akin, I’ll do my assignment after this post. Either isa-isa or baka pwede ko na ring pagsabayin para di gaanong marami. I think I have 5 tags waiting on the line (ngehehehe).

And before I forget, the movie clip above was taken by my hubby. Yesterday was our wedding anniversary and as present, he bought me a mini digital camera it is JVC GZ-MC100. As you see, siya ang nagregalo siya rin ang bumwelong gumamit nito :).

Hmmn, I might use this camera sa naisip kong pakuwela next time.

P.S
Maraming salamat ulit sa inyong walang pagod na pagdalaw dito kahit nasa likod na ako. Buraot!!! Ito ha, bukas na ang tindahan ko.

To all my beloved blog friends.

I wanted to let you know that I am going on blog HIATUS for a month or so. I am buried in webdesign work right now and so I really need to take a step back from blogging and get my priorities straight.

This is what I have on my PRIORITY list at the moment.
(THESE ARE THEMES FOR MY CLIENTS)

1. 1 Personal Theme for Rachel - (accomplished)
2. 1 Business Theme for KG - (accomplished)
3. 1 Business Theme for Rheumatology Clinic - (on progress)
4. 1 Personal Theme for Ria

Stay put lang kayo habang ako ay maghahanapbuhay muna. Until the day I get back and annoy you again. With my award winning oh-so-boring na nonsense pa, and full of grammatical error updates/posts or how blogosphere may ever call it. Ciaoooo! :luvu:
