Google Page Rank Update - October 30

Webmasters were expecting Google Page Rank Update since the end of last month. No one exactly knows when the Google PR Update is, but based on the previous trends, it happens every 2-3 months. Not that it's a huge deal to me, but I am glad when I saw that Big Love got a PR1. Actually what matters more to me is that people stop by and read my blog entries. Of course, getting comments on my post feels so great!

Fashion School

I am contemplating attending Fashion School. When I was in college, I wanted to take up a course that's in line with fashion. But instead, I spent my college days crunching numbers. I was able to finish that 4-year course because I have to, but it's not something I was passionate about.

But because of that, I learned that I am flexible. Even if I do not think I am good at it, I give my best. I don't say "it's not for me", until I have tried. I am having fun at my current job but it does not stir my creative juices. The artist in me is waiting to be unleashed. :)

Losing a Good Friend

What we have once enjoyed we can never lose;
All that we love deeply, becomes a part of us.
Helen Keller

At around 5 am yesterday, I felt my cellphone vibrate in my pocket. It was a text message informing me that a very close friend of mine just passed away. I was about to start my daily routine at work at that time, but I can no longer concentrate taking calls and my voice was cracking.

He was 25 years old, a well-accomplished lad at a young age, a cum laude of our batch. A dreaded disease and severe depression took him away. He was recently diagnosed with meningitis but he has been going in and out of the hospital for almost a year now due to other complications. The last time that we hang out, together with our two dear friends, was last May, the day of my birthday.

After work, I headed straight to the wake. The two-hour trip felt like forever. When I saw the smiling picture of his face on the tarpaulin outside the memorial, it brought tears to my eyes. He was such a good friend to me. One of the few people who were always there for me in my lowest point. He would always motivate me to become a better person in my career and personal life.

He was one of the most, selfless people I know. He puts others first before him. His family and the people close to him are very lucky. In those almost 9 years, that I have known him, he seems to be unhappy with a lot of things. He did not have it easy growing up, hence he strove to succeed in life. He was getting there... and he could have done a lot more. He has so much to offer. But for sure, he's in a better place right now. A place where he can have utmost peace, where there's no more suffering, where it's his time to be rewarded for all the good deeds he has done.

I love you my dearest friend. Til we meet again.

Entrecard and I

While looking for blogs to advertise on, I found out that Big Love is third on the Romance category. So while Big Love is on top of the list, I took a screen shot of it.

I have been doing dropping cards religiously, and Entrecard (plus Adgitize) brought a lot of traffic to my blog.
