FEEDBACK FROM ADVERTISER

Posted by Meryl (proud pinay)

About 2 weeks ago I received a feedback "Great post!" from the advertiser about my post IN THE ROOMS-NATIONAL RECOVERY MONTH and I was given a rating of 5 tacks. It's really overwhelming that the advertiser appreciates and likes the review that I made. It feels like back from schooldays when I was given an award. ^_^

Here's what appeared on my public blogger profile in Social Spark:Here's my reply as a way of thanking them:
Also, I would like to thank all the advertisers who gave me the chance to write about their products and services. Even those advertisers (in Buyblogreviews) whom I received orders from even without me bidding on the opportunity, they directly selected my blog instead to review their products and services. Thank you so much!!! I'm happy with my online earnings. I actually sent my surprise and early Christmas presents to my parents and the rest of my family members in the Phil. several weeks ago through my online earnings. Thank you Lord. ^_^

SCENES OF TYPHOON ONDOY (MARIKINA CITY) AFTERMATH ON YOU TUBE

Posted by Meryl (proud pinay)

I can't help but shed some tears watching this video, seeing my "kababayans"(fellow countrymen) affected by Typhoon Ondoy - international codename Ketsana.

The video above was taken in Marikina City and uploaded by Youtube user named Ondoy2609. It shows photos of cars strewn on roads, dead animals hanging from electrical wires and some were lying in pools of water and many houses smashed by the storm.

I cannot help but worry about my parents and the rest of my family and relatives. I contacted my mom and my sister yesterday night but they didn't answer their cellphones...Read more

BEACH CRUISER BICYCLES

Posted by Meryl (proud pinay)

Hi guys! Christmas Season is near and I am so excited for it! A few more months and we will be celebrating Christmas once again. It is my favorite holiday of the year! By the way, are you still thinking of gift ideas for your kids or loved ones this coming holiday? I am thinking of buying beach cruiser bicycles for my niece and nephew as a Christmas gift to them. I have found a shop online where I can choose the bikes I want for them. The pictures, descriptions and prices are provided that will enable me to easily decide which bikes to choose. They offer a huge selection of cruiser bicycles with different styles and colors. Plus I find the prices inexpensive and they ship bikes all over the USA by FedEx. How about you? What gift idea do you have in mind? I suggest you visit cruiserstyle.com. Maybe you will find something that you are looking for.

Yesterday, while I was bloghopping, I saw some blog posts about the Typhoon Ondoy that hit Manila and other areas of northern Philippines, September 26. I cannot help but worry about my parents and the rest of my family and relatives. I contacted my mom and my sister yesterday night but they didn't answer their cellphones so I guess their batteries died and they have no electric power to recharge their cellphones. Although I haven't experienced flooding ever since I was a kid in the house where I grew up, I cannot remove from my thoughts that they might also be affected by floods and it just popped out in my mind that they are staying at the second floor of the house while being flooded because I've read some recent blog posts that some people experienced flooding for the first time in their place. That really made me worry more about my family. I again contacted them this morning and thankfully my mom answered! She said that they have no electric power since the typhoon, the electric power just got back and they are NOT affected by flooding. But it's so sad to hear that some of the subdivisions and villages nearby are affected by the flooding. Please let us pray and help the Filipino Community.

VENAPRO HEMORRHOID TREATMENT

Posted by Meryl (proud pinay)

Do you feel discomfort because you are suffering from the itching, swelling, and burning sensation or even feel the pain down there? Millions of people all over the world are suffering from hemorrhoids but most of them don't want to talk about it but rather choose to keep it to themselves because they find it quite embarrassing to talk about. Some are even shy to consult a doctor because they feel uncomfortable discussing their problem with them. Hemorrhoids are a very common problem not only to older people. Even a child, male or female can suffer from this type of problem. There are several factors that can lead to hemorrhoids. It maybe because of increased straining during bowel movements caused by constipation or diarrhea and some people may have been born with a genetic predisposition to weak vein and valve walls. Other factors include hypertension, aging, obesity, and poor muscle tone. Even poor posture can result in too much pressure on the rectal veins. It is really quite irritating if you have this problem, so for those of you who have this type of problem, what action do you take, or do you just keep it to yourself and suffer? Or are you using any hemorrhoid cream, pills or any kind of treatment? I'm sure you don't want to suffer from hemorrhoids forever, right? Do you know that there is an effective hemorrhoid treatment that you can find online? It's called Venapro hemorrhoid treatment. Now, you don't need to worry about your problem anymore because you can treat yourself right in the comfort of your own home. Research shows how effective this product is to treat hemorrhoid sufferers and it actually works! So why suffer if you could treat it by yourself. Try Venapro now and see for yourself how effective it is.

GIRLS OVER BOYS/WOMEN CAN DO THAT MEN CANNOT

Posted by Meryl (proud pinay)

It's the second week for Niko's GIRL TALK and the topic for this week is GIRLS OVER BOYS/WOMEN CAN DO THAT MEN CANNOT .


1. Only women have the ability to get pregnant and carry their child in their own womb for nine months while men only contribute to this ^_^.
2. Only women can get a new surname when they get married.
3. Women can have PMS. So guys! Watch out for our moods! Or else! L.O.L!
4. Multitask. We can talk on the phone while preparing our dinner or while watching our favorite tv show.
5. Women can wear make-up, skirts, high heel shoes, thongs.
6. Women can "get turned on" without other people knowing it. Men have to cover themselves with a book or turn away from people.
7. Women can scream as high as their high pitched voice can get when we are surprised and scared, when we ride an adventurous ride and more. That's me on the picture during the Apple Festival hearing women scream to the highest level hehe. I really don't scream whenever I am having some rides, 'coz if I did, I'm afraid that somebody's eardrums will break. L.O.L!

For men, maybe you are thinking right now what girls can't do that only men can. Well, I think I have an answer to the question that's in your mind. Watch the video here or here just for fun. hehe.

EXCITED FOR BRANSON, MISSOURI VACATION

Posted by Meryl (proud pinay)

Hi guys! Did you already had your vacation with your friends or family? Well, if you will ask me, we are gonna have a vacation again! But this time in Branson, Missouri! Yes guys! Finally, in spite of our busy schedule we already figured out when we will be visiting Branson, Missouri. I am so excited for this because in a few more weeks we are gonna be there! Yipeee! Here's our reservation for the hotel but of course I had to darken some important details for security reasons.
Anyway, I can't wait to see the beautiful attractions in Branson Missouri, like the Titanic museum. It's neat to see and explore the world's largest museum which houses hundred of artifacts from the Titanic ship which sank nearly one hundred years ago after it hit an iceberg in the Atlantic Ocean. Aside from the Titanic museum, there are lots of attractions that appeal to me in Branson, such as Ripley's Believe It or Not museum, Hollywood Wax Museum, and more. As I've mentioned before we were choosing among the two Hilton hotels but this time we already have made our reservation at Hilton Promenade at Branson Landing. If we will visit Branson again, maybe sometime next year we will book at Hilton Branson Convention Center Hotel. I would love to experience staying at both of these hotels. Both of them are accessible to shops, boutiques, restaurants, parks, museums, golf course and more. It is also a perfect place to relax after the day's sightseeing or touring. I'm sure staying at a Hilton hotel would be a great experience--with all of the great ambiance, amenities, services and the hospitality the hotel has to offer. That is why we chose one of these hotels. By the way, they also have several packages which you may enjoy and where you can save up your money like the "Package Hotel + Air + Car and Save! " wherein they offer hotel, air, and car reservations - all with only one booking, at special package prices. I also want to share with you our itinerary. You may also use this as your format when you plan to go to Branson.
DAY 1
9:00 AM Breakfast at the hotel
1o:00 AM Ride the "Ducks" sight seeing adventure while riding the "ducks" and listening to the captain tell the history of Branson.
12:00 PM Lunch at Branson Landing
1:00 PM Titanic Museum-explore the world's largest Museum which houses hundreds of artifacts from the Titanic which sank several years ago after it hit an iceberg in the Atlantic Ocean.
2:30 PM Payne Stewart Golf Club-explore the breath-taking course
4:00 PM Hollywood Wax Museum-see more than 150 Hollywood Stars brought to life in living wax
7:00 PM Fountain Show at Branson Landing
8:00 PM Dinner at the hotel
DAY 2
8:00 AM Breakfast at the hotel
9:30 AM Ripley's Believe It or Not Museum- be amazed by unique displays in one of the strangest places in the world
12:00 PM Lunch
2:00 PM Dog Wood Canyon-explore the beauty of the nature preserve through biking, horseback riding and tram tours
8:00 Dinner at the hotel


I can't wait to share with you some pictures of our trip and our experience while staying at the hotel. I'm sure it will be a great experience! I'm so excited for this guys!
