No Internet and Dial Tone with Globe

Today is January 12, 2014 and it's been one month and two days since I have no internet and dial tone at home with Globe. I lost my internet connection last December 10, 2013. So I missed blogging a lot and I just posted once last December 2013. I haven't updated my other blogs too.

It's sad to say that I cannot work comfortably because my internet connection sucks although I already had the appetite to work last December. I have lots of things to update. Anyway, I'll just end this post here.

Sunset and Sunrise 2014

Let me start this post a little bit of sunset and sunshine...
Sunset taken last January 3, 2014

Sunrise at 6:03AM on January 4, 2014

Selfie with sunshine I have no internet connection with Globe since December 10, 2013 so next week it will be a month the reason I have not updated all of my blogs. I was feeling down for few days ago so I'll consider this day a brand new day to rise and shine.

I'm not at home and I haven't sleep so better for me to pack up my things and get a sleep at home. :D

End of November

Oh, this blog sucks for the month of November. I haven't blog for a while after the Halloween and during my birthday. I don't even have informative post to blog. Because of the typhoon Yolanda, I lost my interest to blog. There was no electricity last November 8, 2013 then there were rotational brownouts in Cebu.
On November 10, 2013 my birthday celebration was simple. We just went to Sto. Niño Church and SM City Cebu with mom and sis. We enjoyed the Max Rider with a birthday discount. Because of the brownouts and what happened to Eastern Visayas and Bohol, it was unnecessary for a big celebration. As a birthday gift to myself, I bought a tripod for my dslr camera. Then few days ago, I got addicted to Pinterest again because of make-up then bought some make-up brushes. I got back crocheting again that I created crochet stars for Christmas decoration.
My mind was pretty occupied with something creative and I can't stop it! Char! Here's my illustration by the way through Adobe Photoshop!

Mom's Birthday Last Friday

Two days after I arrived in Cebu from Malaysia, my mom celebrated her birthday last Friday. So the girls accompanied mom going to Basilica Minore del Santo Niño and of course, prayed and thanked God for the blessings and good health.

After that, we went to SM City Cebu just roamed around the department store and bought something. Then I treat my mom and sis for a 4D Maxrider. It was my mom's first time to experience the ride. She told us that whenever we're stressed, then we should take a ride and shout out at the top of your lungs. Since it was her birthday, she got a discount for the ride. That's really cool!


We bought a cute cake at Cakes R' Us just inside the mall and we got this! It was a chocolate cup cake and it tastes like Fudgee bar, if you're familiar with Fudgee bar. Hehe!
Then we ended up having dinner at Lamesa Grill, a treat from me. The boys in the family were having their own appointment so we just bought a take-out meal. Happy Birthday again ma!

September Updates

I missed blogging on the first week of September because again I am busy. If you remember my blog post August Not Good, I had an issue with my health. Before August ended, I felt pains in my body so mom and I went to a spa for a Swedish massage. I never thought that my back on my left was really in pain.

After few days on September 4, 2013, my period showed up. I think I missed my period for July and August the reason I had my cramps on my chest part. In some way, the massage was a great help.

A lot of things happened the past few days but I wasn't able to update it here.

September 6, 2013 - I was able to book an international flight with college friends for next year.

September 8, 2013 - I attended a wedding together with my relatives. I was able to get some wedding shots using a 50 mm F1.8 G lens. I learned to appreciate more of the 50 mm prime lens and I was glad I was able to experience some wedding shots.

September 10, 2013 - Puppies for adoption - I posted this picture to all Facebook groups that I am involved. I was happy that some FB users responded with the post. The puppies are now in good hands to different concerned citizens.

My Fiverr gig is somewhat challenging right now because most of the customers want their pictures for a major restoration. Editing an old photo is a very tough job.

Of course, I can't wait for my trip next Saturday because it will be a first time. Yes, I am really excited.

August Not Good

It's been one month and five days I missed blogging because I was busy after my last post. I got a full time job and was happy about it because it was all about search engine optimization (SEO). I could really say that my employer was really great. I am just lucky and thankful that I had meet great online employers/clients. They were always good to me.

My training with the employer went great although there were moments I was so slow. I was able to catch up though so no worries. Until last week of July, something happened in our family (my uncle died because of an illness). On the next few days, I wasn't able to train and missed some time not to complete 40 hours a week.

Those days were not normal. My health was affected and I had some personal issues. I really don't want to talk about it here as confidential. I had no choice but to quit my full time job but delegate my other jobs to some friends.

I had my several trips to the doctor and she advised me to quit my job to regain my health. I was really pale and of course, I took several medications. Again, I really don't want to spill the beans here. Good thing I am now okay but still I have to monitor my health.

I feel so bored and the days are so slow now that I am not working. I am just looking forward for my trip next month.

Anyway, enough with the not so good news. There were also great things happened but I haven't blogged about it here. I should create separate post(s).

Please don't forget to visit my other blogs, with updates. :)

July Randomness

I've been so busy this month of July, as always, and I realized that I missed some blog post for a week. As usual, I'm busy with my online jobs with different clients. Then my Fiverr account has been active lately so I've been juggling several tasks to the other. I was also looking for assistants because of the trip I've been planning this September.

Nifty Fifty, Investing 101 Seminar and Songhits Karaoke

Lots of things happened before the month of June ended. I got the time to hang out with friends. I've noticed that I've been so busy last month. Whew!

I purchased a nifty fifty lens together with some accessories. I asked Tata to accompany since she is good in locating places. She's like Dora the Explorer. Hahaha!

Tata - my model

Four Days Trip in Siquijor-Dumaguete-Manila

Welcome to Puerto Isla Del Fuego - Siquijor

I had my four days trip with friends last June 16 to June 19, 2013. The reason I haven't blog last week because I was exhausted from the trip and I was also busy catching up my work. Hahaha! Yes, I was traveling while working with my online job. Well, our original itinerary should be two days in Siquijor (June 16-17), an overnight stay in Dumaguete(June 18) and on the fourth day (June 19), we should go back to Cebu at 8 in the morning.

Facebook Hashtags Enabled

I was one of the users who used to put hash tags on a Facebook status like we used to do on Twitter. I saw a lot of users on my lists who are annoyed of someone of using hash tags. Haha! Good news, hash tags are now enabled on Facebook. Glad to say my hash tags are not flooding on a single status. I keep in mind to use hash tags with sense. Well, I find it annoying when a simple status is flooded with several hash tags.  

Back Being Random Again and Again

I am in a moment that I wish I am as strong as a tree that stood still.

Oh, such an emo! I was just showing you the HDR effect from my camera. But wait, this is not a photo blog but a personal blog. Anyway, this past few days things did not go so well because of misunderstandings. I am sad about it and I made a decision that I won't regret. I just need some time alone. If you get what I mean, so be it.

Productive June

I say wow and we are already halfway for the year 2013. I started my day a very productive one because of additional tasks. Do you still find it productive working in bed? Hehe!

Back Being Random

After the election 2013, things got busy until the weekend so I got no chance to blog. I decided to blog today to have a break from work. I am glad with the things that are happening to me. I am also excited for next month because I'm going to travel. How I wish that I have this monthly travel. Please be updated on my travel blog at I Travel Rox.

Samsung Galaxy Y is now memory full

If you remember my first ever smartphone, I am now disappointed of what is happening to it. Imagine, the OS is just Gingerbread. This phone will be 2 years in my hand this November. I still don't have money to upgrade for a more powerful smartphone. Because of my job, Samsung Galaxy Y is not enough for me anymore. I need to upgrade but not now.

I Vote 2013

Yesterday, I exercised my right to suffrage. It was my second time to experience with the PCOS machine and good thing my ballot was not rejected.

Advantage with the PCOS Machine

After with the Hello Garci issue, the PCOS machine lessened the "ballot switching" incident with Former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. The PCOS machine started last 2010 when President Ninoy Aquino won and the 2nd place went to the Ex-President Joseph Estrada (who was ousted by People Power 2). I cannot imagine an Ex-President who was ousted would be President again if not with then-Senator Ninoy Aquino. Just imagine, what was going to happen with the Philippines if PNoy didn't run or no PCOS machine? 

If PNoy didn't run and Ex-President Estrada was not included in the presidential race last 2010, Villar or Gordon would be okay for me.

Bantayan Island Last Weekend

I just got home today and I am so effin' tired but I have lots of things to do. Yeah right, I'm back to work. Actually I was bringing my work while travelling. I realized that bringing your laptop with you is not really that great. Well, unless if you are in a week-long travel while working.

We decided a two-night stay because I realized that an overnight stay is not enough. Gladly, I was permitted by my one of my clients to have a vacation. The other one just ignored my e-mail so I was forced to bring my lappy with me. 

Gone Solo Yesterday at SM City Cebu

Yesterday, I went alone to SM City Cebu to cool down. I escaped from work again and I wanted to come home late. Before going to SM, I went to Sto. Niño church. I just realized that it is nice to hear a mass with no company.

my view while eating potato fries

I had my solo dinner at Jonie's fried chicken. After my dinner, I bought some milkshake and potato fries. I should have gone to a massage therapist but it is so expensive inside the mall. I just pampered myself for a pedicure at Franzy Salon. I'm so happy that they already opened a branch at SM.

Story in Every Picture - Just a Random Thought

I really don't know what to blog because as usual I've been so busy with my online job. Actually, I am totally wordless right now and I don't know what to blog. I just don't want my blog to miss a post even for a week. So here it goes:

Chocolates

They say it's normal to have a fight with the person you're in a relationship with. But the moment I knew myself I've gone no wrong, I find it tiresome. I don't want to talk to him and I don't want to see him. That's the only thing I want to do. Then the guy is going to court you again, say sorry for so many times and I just fell silent, letting my anger and disappointment to subside. Then he gives me chocolate.

Creating a Travel Blog

Last week, I blogged about creating a personal finance blog. Now, I just created a travel blog through wordpress.com. It is not a self-hosted blog because I have no budget. It is really my dream to have a travel blog because I want to travel to several places someday. Please visit my new blog at itravelrox.com

If you can see, I seldom post a personal blog here because again and again I am so busy with my online job. Well, let me just have a recap what I did few days ago:

reformat my netbook

I successfully reformatted my netbook few nights ago using my USB. At first, I have difficulty because I guess I am not a techy person anymore. Good thing I have IT friends on Facebook. I just posted a status about it then a friend guided me using a software to make my USB a bootable device.

Got PR1 For Simple Yet Rock

Since I changed this domain to .info, my PR or Page Rank went back to zero. I remember when it was tamayorox.blogspot.com I got PR 2, then PR1, and went to 0 and back to PR1. Actually, I really didn't care about Page Rank before but it did earn me some bucks for blog advertising which I write blog posts for several websites. It wasn't bad at all because this blog helped as my online portfolio. (To understand what Page Rank is, click here).

Then I got inspired to write informative posts although I have several and random personal blog posts. Also I decided to buy a domain for this which is www.roxannetamayo.info. This is my first blog but I first bought a domain of www.fotografirox.com for my home-based business - my another online portfolio for graphic design skills. Unfortunately, I got no chance to update Fotografi Rox but business is still on going. I am just wishing that I could buy a DSLR camera to practice photography. :D

I blogged this because of superficial happiness! Hahaha! I realized that a .info domain is very slow to get some PR 1 or more. Unlike a .com with Fotografi Rox, I got PR 1 in just few months with updated posts.

Anyway, I am not really obsessed to get higher Page Rank but of course, I feel happy about it. All I love to do is to blog whatever is on my mind.

Happy blogging! <3 <3 <3

Contract Signing

I really don't know what to blog because I've been emotional the past few days. Still, I have to look the brighter side of life. So, here I just printed a contract and signed it. I just need to scan and submit it to the person intended for it.
