October Was When I Officially Started My Blog

Posted on October 21, 2008 by greenbucks| Leave a comment

Yes, it was one cool October day when I officially started my special education blog, Teacher Julie. I was blogging then, using free blogging platform and I was maintaining three. Hah, quite toxic for me since the contents were just the same. Never would I thought that putting contents in three blogs would just prep my blogging behavior now that I am maintaining three four active personal blogs. That excludes my blog for my homeschooling children and the group blog about parenting.

Starting a blog then was something alien to me because being used to free blogging platforms, I did not particularly know how to start from scratch. The terms CMS, web hosting, and some technical terms were baffling. Truth is, up to now I really have no idea how to propagate a blog because it is THE hubby who does that for me.

First I had to have some web hosting tutorials which I got from my husband who patiently taught me how to go through the WordPress buttons. He didn’t know a thing about blogging then too, even if he is in Information Technology so he had to read a lot of web hosting articles.

My Computer Nga Ba?

Posted on October 2, 2008 by greenbucks| 30 Comments

Several weeks ago, I wrote a post about the laptop that blogging bought.

Noong nakaraang Agosto, ako ay nagsulat ng tungkol sa laptop na nabili ko dahil sa kita ng pagba-blag ng mga iba’t ibang produkto at serbisyo.

Yes, even if there is a home pc, I got myself a laptop which  I can bring with me when I have to go to work. But at home, that laptop is not mine, the children takes possession which is fine with me since I am more comfortable using the home pc.

Kahit meron napakalaking pc sa bahay, kumuha na din ako ng laptop para madala ko kapag pumupunta ako sa trabaho. Pero kapag nasa bahay ako, ang laptop na ito ay hindi na sa akin dahil pinag-aagawan ginagamit ito ng aking mga anak. Ok lang naman sa akin kasi mas comportable ako sa dambuhalang pc namin.

This is our youngest child, playing with a game.

Si bunso naglalaro. Oist, gabi na, matulog na…

Ok then there are times when they just have to rest their case somewhere else and give that thing to me like when hubby and I attended the WordCamp Philippines.

Meron ding mga oras na kahit anong pakiusap ang gawin nila, hindi puwedeng iwan ito, kagaya nung pumunta kami ni TekKonsult aka BrownFoot sa Wordcamp Philippines.

Those who have been participating in the Weekly Questions are women. So I decided to post a question that will have them answer if they can do man jobs.

Man jobs are those that require individuals, be they women or men, to do man jobs, as professionals or as odd jobs or as emergency jobs.

So the Weekly Question will attempt to answer :

What man jobs can you do?

Bilog na Naman ang Buwan

Posted on September 25, 2008 by greenbucks| 53 Comments

Who remembers the song of Tropical Depression “Bilog na Naman ang Buwan? You know, that reggae band who can make you sing and dance alongside their upbeat songs?

Oh, sige na nga, sa mga kunwari hindi alam 😉  heto ang lyrics: “Bilog na naman ang buwan, ilabas nyo na ang kalokohan. Huwag nyo na pipigilan pa, ang toyo nyo lalabas din lamang. Pag bilog na bilog na bilog na naman ang buwan”

Why did I ask If you know this song? Its because of my entry, the photo of the moon, a nice black and white combination. I love looking at the moon though if I do that for a long time, I might end up either with a stiff neck or end up looking like I’m nuts. This is one of my family’s favorite thing to look at the sky, the full moon. The photo below is not of good quality since I didn’t use a tripod.

Bakit ko naitanong kung alam nyo ang kantang ito? Dahil sa aking lahok, ang litrato ng buwan ay isang magandang combinasyon ng itim at puti. Gustung-gusto ko tignan ang buwan pero kung gagawin ko yun ng matagalan, baka magka-stiff neck ako o kaya mapagkamalang loka-loka 😀 kaligayahan naming mag-anak ang makita ang full moon kapag meron ito. Pasensiya na po, di gaanong malinaw, hindi kasi ako nagtripod.

Happy Thursday everyone! 🙂
