Simple Yet Rock's 4th Year Blog Anniversary

Today is a simple day for me. There is nothing too fancy to celebrate but I always have a gift for myself in my years of blogging and at the same time, with the years of working online. I re-created this blog as a portfolio and the same day, I registered myself on oDesk.

Last year, I gave myself a toy like I was a teenager. Hehe! This year I'll be celebrating out of the country this weekend. I always pray that the weather will be fine. Oh, please typhoon go, go away so that I and my friend will be having a save flight getting in and out of the country. :D

Anyway...

Mingming with Her Newborn Five Kittens

Do you find the picture above cute? Surprisingly, Mingming gave birth to five kittens yesterday in the morning. She had her first two kittens also from this year, they are now big but not yet adults.

I got the video on the 5th kitten so here it is:

There was a moment that we scolded Mingming and ignored her for a very long time because when she got pregnant a long time ago, it was a failed and mishandled pregnancy so the kittens were dead and she ate it herself. She didn't had that mother instinct back then. I think she did understand us by the time we ignored her. 
Although Mingming was a stray cat, I mean she came from our neighbor's house and decided to stay with us because of the food. We are feeding her together with the two kittens and with the new five kittens. Oh, so many rascals in our house.
Oh, well. I'll just end this blog post. I am sorry if I'm talking about cats today if you don't find this blog informative. Well, whatever, I'm just happy! :) So how's your pet? :D

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.

Homemade Hawaiian Pizza

Just this afternoon, I decided to do something in the kitchen. Just so you know that I am not a good cook. I mean, the kitchen is not my area of expertise. Although I know how to fry some fish and fried rice, still I don't always see myself hanging out in the kitchen.

I went to Metro Market here in Naga to buy the ingredients that I need. I saw the recipe and the procedure at Del Monte Kitchenomics website. Just click the link because I don't want to be redundant.

We don't have an oven so I used the frying pan with a cover instead. I just cooked it for 3-5 minutes or until the cheese will melt.

Mom and I were just at home so we enjoyed eating the homemade pizza that I prepared.

This is just so easy and I prepared this for 15 minutes only. 

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. :)
