Need Your Support!

I have learned from Ms. Red that my blogs, My Journey to Life and BabiesandContests were among the 30 finalists for the YouSaytoo Awards .

I am humbly asking your support to vote for me. This money could really help us so much. Here's my entry for YouSayToo Award:

While I was surfing for some prospective online friends blogger to help me in my current online contest, I stumbled on this wonderful holiday dream gift by Yousaytoo.com.
This site offers:
Additional way to promote your content
- SEO & monetization done by professionals
- More readers and followers
- Extra revenue from your content
- Popularity on the web

and the chance to win $1000 dream gift which was described in the dream gift post.
Nine others will also receive fun gifts of their choice (which you mentioned on your dreamlist)

Why do I need the $1,000 dream gift? Because of the hard life that many of us is suffering as of now, we really needed that amount. Who else doesn't want a great award like that. We are just an average people, my salary and hubby's was just enough for our monthly expenses, considering that my baby is consuming 1kg milk every week (huh).

Last year, I felt this great pain in my stomach and back and for days I was not able to work because I can't stand and walk, (what a horrible experience) I went to a doctor and was advised to take an ultrasound and there many big stones were found and I was dianosed to have gallbladder stone and was prescribed to drink medicines and I was advised to have an operation right away because it can be fatal. Can you imagine that, where could we get that Php. 80,000 plus money on an instant. At first, I am really desperate and crying for weeks. But hey, i need to be strong, i have just given birth and I have a daughter who needed me and there is always the Good Lord who works in mysterious ways.

As an additional awards, i would love to have this beautiful gifts:

USB Tulip Hub

Turn your desk into a blooming garden with this pretty tulip USB hub! Four USB high-speed ports are included, with one colorful red flower for each. Compatible with most USB plugs, for both Mac and Windows systems. Plastic parts. 2.5”

Retro Web Cam

We're bringing a glamorous, retro-inspired take on the old boring webcam. Bring a touch of old Hollywood to your desktop PC with this fully functional webcam that looks just like an old camera.

With a built-in microphone, fine focus wheel and high-quality lens, it's great for video conferencing and taking individual shots.
* 1.3 Mega Pixel Retro Webcam
* Tripod
* Easy-to-load Windows Software CD
The Retro Web Cam's Tripod measures 5.5 inches tall to 8.25 inches tall when fully extended. The Retro Web Cam Camera measures 2.5 inches tall x 1.25 inches wide.

I do hope and wish that I could win this one. This will be a great help to have my operation

You can vote by here, Just click the rate it button and you can leave a review too. I really appreciate your time and effort. Thank you so much.

Voting is until February 9, 2010 only. i think , you can vote for it everyday.

Anak ni Kulapo - isa ka ba don?

Ang blog na ito ay isa sa mga likha ni Buraot. Nauna na natin syang nakilala sa kanyang "Ako si Buraot " (I am Buraot). Sa totoo lang , kung sino-sino ang pinagtanungan ko ng salitang Kulapo, sa aking pagkaka-alam ang kulapo ay yung iniinom, "Vino Kulapo" , tama ba iyon? Ang sabi ng ka-opisina ko ang ibig sabihin ng salitang Kulapo ay isang Datu na matapang, si Datu Kulapo. Ang sabi naman ni Ginoong Google ang kulapo ay pangalan ng isang isda - Bato-bato Kulapo, hindi ako makapaniwala sa nalaman ko na ito pala ay ang paborito kong isda na Lapu-lapu.

Siguradong pagagalitan ako ng guro ko nito sa Hekasi, dahil hindi ko alam kung ano ang Kulapo. Sabagay, tama kaya ang hinala ko na si Kulapo at si Lapu-lapu ay iisa, naku, kung nabubuhay lang sana ang ama ko, maaring alam na nya kung ano ang sagot sa tanong ko. Siguradong tawa ang maririnig ko dahil sa katangahan ko.

Sino nga ba si Kulapo o ano ang makikita dito? Katulad ng nakasaad dito, mga mala impaktong kwentong kopong kopong. Kabaligtaran ng unang nabangit kong Buraot, na malungkot at napaka senti ang nilalaman ng mga pahina, dito siguradong masisira ang upuan mo o siguradong laging punuan sa banyo. Bakit naman hindi, sa simula pa lamang ng pambanat na paalala, bawal ang mga bata dito at ang mga matatanda , kailangan din ng patnubay ng mga kabataan dahil baka dehins din ma gets. Bigla ko tuloy naisip kung na-aangkop ba sa akin ang mga naka sulat dito, baka ma kurakot din ang utak ko.

Habang binabasa ko ang mga kwento ng anak ni Dakilang Kulapo, di ko mapigil ang sarili ko na hindi tumawa, bakit kamo, sadyang kakaiba ang kanyang mga kwento parang kinuha talaga sa Timbuktu , hindi ako magtataka maaring kalahi ko talaga si Kulapo, pareho kaming pinanganak sa lugar na pag sumikat na ang buwan dapat tulog na ang mga tao o kailangan meron kang buntot ng pagi kung ayaw mong makita ang ik-ik sa tabi mo.

Sadyang nakakatuwa ang mga nakalagay dito, bakit hindi nyo subukang basahin ang mga istorya ng Kopong-kopong,sakitchupoy, rapsadudels, boy bastos,usapang lasheng ilan lamang ito sa mag papasakit ng ulo nyo. Kung ako ang tatanungin nyo, isang mabait na tao si Kulapo, ang kumontra talo.

"Pasintabi sa mga makakabasa, ito ay base lamang sa aking sariling kuro-kuro at wala akong balak makasakit ng sino pa mang tao, kung na gets mo ang sinabi ko baka ikaw din isa ka sa Anak ni Kulapo. "

Buraot on my point of view

To tell you honestly, I am doing this review for almost weeks now and i wasn't able to finish it for two reasons. I wanted to know the site more and I wanted to understand the person behind it. It is not very hard to know about Buraot, a detailed facts about his personality can be found in his site. He considers himself as an agnostic a philosophy by which Sir Thomas Henry Huxley describe that someone who rejects all claims of spiritual or mystical knowledge. He also identifies agnosticism not as a creed but rather as a method of skeptical, evidence-based inquiry.

I have once heard this fact in my father's teaching about life and our existence, as I myself still finding some answers from my father's teachings but just like they said, our existence is really hard to explain, the human mind is too hard to grasp . This theory Buraot trying to depict is very visible in his works. One thing i know for sure is, his a generous person. Many bloggers I think, could attest to that. Just look at his entredropper generator, it helps many blogger to make our ec dropping easy. He readily shares his knowledge about just anything and his own opinions regarding different categories like Religion and Spirtuality, Politics of thought, Nature and environment,galaxies and universe, living and dying are the one that interest me much.

Browsing his site contents make me cry, his words were just like my father's word, I am sure if my father would only read his articles he would have affirmed of what Buraot is trying to say. His words were carefully written, concise, and can touch one's heart. You might say that I am very sentimental but what would you say about Buraot's "Whimpers of a Midnight Voyeur", just by reading this article, memories of my fast vividly comes into life. Our life is a voyage, full of different adventures, trials, sorrows but yet we are aiming for one thing, one word that can summarize it all, "Bliss" but just like Buraot, can we really find it in this world?

Something To Live By

There's something to live by in everything

There's melody in the woods where creatures sing;

There's beauty in everything that God as made

Even in the grass over someone's grave.

There's something to live by in our faith

That God has placed us where we wait;

With a ray of hope within our hearts

That maybe someday we shall never part

There's something to live by when we greet

The same dear face we always meet;

Whose eyes light up with no misgiving

When back to them we come returning.

There's something to live by when we hope

That maybe someday we never shall cope

With the sad plight that our lives bring

When in our hearts of hope we sing.
