Please make sure to refer back to me: http://greenbucks.info when you sign up.

I have read several stories in the site and some had me in stitches 😀

____________________________________________________

Lots of people have already started with their Christmas shopping. I know of some people who are done with theirs as I write this post.

Its just a few weeks before Christmas and everything seems to be hurrying by. The days are getting shorter. The people are hurrying to and fro.

There is something about Christmas really that makes one feel frantic. Perhaps it is because its that time of the year when reports have to be filed, work has to be completed, shopping has to be done to avoid crowds and traffic jams.

Since the advent of the internet, shopping can now be done in a breeze. How? Through online shopping of course.

There is no need to brave through the crowds, wait in line to pay and deal with kids who think the mall is their playground online shopping is done. Shopping in the comfort of one’s own home has never been better.

I still haven’t thought of anything yet to give to my husband but I am thinking he might appreciate getting something like this to start working on his carpentry skills:

Wishful thinking 😀

Blog Blast for Peace on November 6, 2008

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

November 6, 2008Get your own peace globe at Mimi Writes

Last June, there was a Revolution of Words. This November 6, there is another round for the Blog Blast for Peace.

Here is a part of my entry for the June event:

Peace is a rare commodity.Its a commodity because it is expensive. Billions are spent to curtail war, to stop terrorism, to have peace. But with all the families broken, the souls destroyed, antiquities forever gone, do we even say that peace has been achieved? Are we even happy with the way things turned out? Can we truly say that we feel safe and secured? Can we really say that justice has been served or is being served or will be served to those who truly deserve it?

This November 6, join the bloggers who will once again be one in writing about PEACE.

For me, writing about peace is just one step in achieving it because even if one writes about peace but does not live it, then the effort would be futile.

Words are wonderful but actions are more than so.

I Vote for my Friend Rachel :)

Posted on September 19, 2008 by greenbucks| 2 Comments

First things first, I am voting for Rachel of My Soulful Thoughts for the Bloggers’ Choice Awards for the 2008 Philippine Blog Awards.

I could have written my post here in my main blog where we virtually met. In fact we have had two personal meetings, a lunch and a dinner. The dinner gave us the chance to meet her husband who is incidentally called by the nickname my close friends and family call me.

I chose to cast my vote in this blog because through a weekly post that we do with other bloggers, I have come to know her more not just as a blogger but as a friend.

Anyway, back to Rachel and why I chose to vote for her.

  • First off, I am proud to say that we are real-life friends. Even if we just saw each other twice, I feel really close to her, like she is a long-lost friend.
  • That she loves her son Yohan and her husband casts no doubt to her readers.
  • She is well-known in the blogosphere, especially with her foreign friends. If they are allowed to vote, I know she would have a very big advantage.
  • I have known her through the memetags that we have done. It was not just the link love that brought us together but the fact that she really reads the posts we write and she writes back with intelligent comments.
  • Her sweetness that everyone is talking about? That is true. Her blog posts as well as the comments that she send our way, these are all consistently sweet and nicely worded.
  • We exchange pleasant text messages every now and then.
  • We encourage each other when we are not feeling good.

I see no other reason to not vote for my friend Rachel. She is a winner for me in every sense of the word.
