Behind the Happy Smile

I have not written for quite a long time except for some photos I had been posting in my blog. Now, let me write what I had been doing offline in those days I slackened from posting or updating my blog. The year 2011 was a great challenge to me. I wanted to post stories that connote positive ideas. I thought I should keep to myself the real issues. I had silence for a while. I want everything to pass before I blog about it.

As early as Feb 2011 I had work related issues. We were advised the account we were working is to close the Manila, Philippines call center. It was announced 1^st week of Feb 2011 the account is to close by the 15^th of Feb 2011. All my plans for 2011 were done as early as Oct 2010. My plan was to look for an apartment comes 2011 to invite the daughter of my sister to stay with me to look for a job. The announcement of the closure made me adjust every plan I started.

Message of Thanks

Folks, I never thought of having so many of you to greet me on the birthday of Jolly Princess @ World Wide Web. You are the very reason my blog is surviving. I would like to mention that some of my blog visitors who came for the good wishes are first time blog visitors. Welcome aboard guys and gals. I just needed more sleep coming home from work. It is taking a little while before I visit your blogs. Do not fret I will be one of your visitors one of these days. To my old blogger friends, appreciate your blog support a lot!

Let me say these to you … all ♥ Much more than…

You gave me a reason to smile. ☺

Blog Update

I became too busy over the weekend. What made your Jolly Princess busy? I would like to make a formal announcement I made some revisions again in my blog. For those who had been tediously following my blog. I hope in some ways I could make you smile reading my post to commensurate the effort. And hopefully my humble blog would be remembered across the World Wide Web. For the new revision, I added a language translation and widgets for ads. I noticed some of my visitors are from non English speaking countries. Thanks to some blogger friends for the idea of language translation. I apologize for being a copycat, once in a while.

The language translation may not be the exact words in your language. But I guess the essence of my blog will be there. I was laughing when I clicked the translation for the Filipino language. Some of the words are colloquial, they are so funny. Oh, you must have noticed I removed the LinkWithin widget. It did not look good in my blog. I had to take the widget off. Should you want to rock your brain with my previous posts, you may simply click Older Posts at the bottom portion of my blog. Or another way is to go to my Blog Archive.

The idea of adding ads to my site is just another innovation I thought of trying it. I had to subscribe to AdBrite because I was banned by Google AdSense. It was a long story. I had some friends who used to borrow my computer. I showed them my blog. Alas! They thought they could help me earn by clicking my ads using the same computer I used to set up my AdSense. So, you know what happened next. I know AdBrite will still approve my site. I thought there is no harm putting those widgets. I might as well be of help to some bloggers and blog visitors. Who knows?

I had some blog hopping and I noticed most of my blogger friends had updated their design into a more comment friendly template. When I visit a blog I would normally leave a comment and follow the blog. The exception is those blogs insinuating promiscuity. My parents are strict you know. I do not exactly understand why some sites sell those ideas. We could cross the bridge when we get there, after all. I guess this is all for now folks. I will keep you posted for any catastrophic change. Jazzzzzz kidding! Have a lovely blogging days full of smiles! Remember, smiles are for free! ☺
