Don't we all want to only see search results that relate to our keywords? Well, if you are like me, hear this...a new search engine has arrived. I mean we now have a way to not only make searching fun but also vote and even comments on sites we like. Yes, there is a feature that makes it not only with less spam searching, but also the people can improve the already superior results by voting and commenting. That is definitely a nice way to search for what we want to look up. All those conveniences basically translates into the new CV rating System ( Color Value) that is much more Democratic than how Google does it with page ranking. So it speaks quality, unlike Google, page ranking is getting unfair. I think out of balance. Anyway, this new and improved Search Engine by EarthFrisk is something that will make everyone happy for they will be able to see the search results they hope for. I will try the toolbars that are available in Firefox and IE, because a blogger like me can have a tool bar custom made with my very own logo on it as well for my readers, helping their own traffic. Nice and so see about it peeps!

I wanted to have pictures of our children with Santa Claus, and today we went to the mall and had a picture taken. Instead of having just Tiana and Hannah in the picture I was included since Hannah was just too scared to be able to let Santa hold her...LOL. It was her first time to see Santa today, so she was petrified. I paid quite a bit of money for only one snap shot that didn't really turned out like I wished. Tiana and Hannah weren’t looking at the camera at all, only Santa and I did...LOL. It's too bad that I wasn't thinking straight, I should have ordered a few snap shots for the same money I paid today...eek. Anyway, Christmas is lonely being away from my people back home. However, it is sad if the family is not getting along well like my family back home. It saddens me at times to see my people argue over little things especially money. Oh, life. Okay, till here for now. See you everyone. May you have a nice festive season! I mean a bright and Merry Christmas if you are a Christian-believe the there is God.

There are so many people with weight issue these days anymore. Now, I am glad to know that surgery is one of the options available to people that can't seem to keep their weight down. I mean people that can't lose weight no matter how much they try. There are people that struggle with losing weight, you know. So surgery becomes an option for them. Well, here, for those of you looking to lose weight gradually, you should see about this lap band Central Florida for that surgery option you might be considering. Lap band is a surgery procedure that will make you eat only smaller amount of food, because such surgery can reduce the size of your stomach. There you go, perhaps it will work for you!

Finally, the woman who sold us an old computer we didn't need paid up. She sent my husband what she owed us. Well, I gave it to my husband-the difference that is. It took her long enough; we thought my husband had to take her to court...LOL. He wasted money and time making copies of everything preparing to take her to a small claim court because she was being impossible to do business with. But she surprised us with paying us back the money we gave her. She enjoyed it for some time keeping both the money and the computer...LOL. Now, everything is settled, I can make plans with buying a computer again. I am still confused though, I can't decide which computer is best for me. Perhaps, the one with 250 GB that has wireless keyboard, mouse, and Bluetooth or, the one with 22" monitor and 500 GB. Whew! It's confusing. I would like to have the 500GB for my huge files. Oh, I don't know what to buy right now; I will have to wait till Christmas is over to get one, maybe a new one that is 2008 edition.

This is a tag from Lanie G., and I enjoyed my time doing mine. Thanks, Lan! Anyway, if you like this tag, you may grab it; feel free even when I can only pick five. What's a little extra, right? So, there you go, share what you have to say.

Here are the rules:

To play this game, you must explain what your most common writing mistakes are. Then, simply tag 5 people. Those 5 will, in return, tag 5 more people. Ultimately, readers should see a tapestry of common grammar and spelling mistakes. Therefore, anyone who feel ashamed of their errors will feel a bit more confident and secure. Copy the person and persons' names that sent it to you and add your own at the bottom of the list. It really helps build community.

The answers:

Shine with Grace : Mixing the word 'from' with 'form' all the time.
Trinity : I sometimes feel confused to use past tense or present tense when I share my stories.
LadyJava : Typing too fast that sometimes I miss words in between.
Genie King : I type too fast too... always end up with 'tot he'... when it should be 'to the'.
Spiff : I type too fast that I end up with sentences that have no spaceinbetween... LOL!
Nessa : Mostly grammatical mistakes... but it doesn't really bother me as long as my readers understand :)
Choc Mint Girl: Obviously grammatical error due to lack of vocabulary…but getting better and better and better…he he he…
Liza : I type too fast too that's why sometimes my spellings are wrongf... see. Lol ;) And same with Grace, mixing the word from and form at times. (I'll be posting this tag to my other blog
Cecil: errors on grammar and sometimes I don’t know where to place my comma or when to use colon or semi-colon :( too.)Nancy: I'm always trying to use every function of my fingers but can't really help but slip which resulted to pressing the wrong key most of the time.Darlene: I always made a mistake by typing HELATH instead of HEALTH. Sometime the FOR is FOT because the R and the T are very close to each other lol! Anyway i always do mistakes when i type, everybody does i guess no matter how good you are in typing you always make some mistakes.Bisdak Footprints I usually have wrong typo when I am in a hurry typing entries during PPP time because need to be fast so I can grab as many opps as I can.For that,wrong typo making my english look worse to others.They read it before I can do some editing..they might think my english is so bad..ahhermmm...but i edit it anyways...
Twerlermz : I'm using basic or simple english most of the time so i think my most common mistakes are : redundancy, spelling and grammar (toink!)
Thira: I type too fast too, sometimes my mind is way ahead with my typing so I miss out and misspell words and I have to go back and read again and correct it. Sometimes using the past and present tense in writing, and using the hyphen properly,wehehe:)
Juliana: I always mis-spell "you". More often that not I type it as "oyu" because I'm typing fast and because it's a three letter word, it's prone to get typed incorrectly. It's good there's a spelling checker hehe, I always catch the mistake before it is published.
Teebob : If I write an article about a male person I often use her or she instead of him or he.
Norm : Sometimes I'm confused of the grammar and right spelling. Then I'm typing so fast that usually miss-spell taht instead of that and many more.
Lanie G: , I dont know how to put my link just my name on it so pardon me..maybe you could help me this. Anyway, my common mistake is my grammar, spelling specially if I'm writing. I dont usually spending time to read the direction just answer the guestion quick. My son got this bad habit that I want to break because its a big mistake even I until now I still do. I don't like reading a lot of article. I only ready when it is very interesting not boring.
Ana P. S.: My common mistakes are that I often catch myself repeating the same words over and over. My posts sound the same, my vocabulary is limited, and then some of my spellings are wrong. Sometimes I am in a hurry, so I don't bother correcting my errors, I have some grammatical errors every time because when I let a day or so go by, I would notice my errors-my sentences are out of wack...LOL. I am not one of those that stepped foot in college or even finished high school...aheheh. I haven't gone to school to study English either...what a bummer!

I tag:

Sis. Nora, Jen R., Jen L. Cherry Rose. Rissa M.

Note: To Lanie G., thanks so much for tagging me, I think this is an interesting tag, because we get to express how we feel about our writings. Thanks ha?

I came across a site that offers a perfect gift for someone who is always traveling-a traveler I mean. Well, this site has a log book that a traveler would certainly appreciate. Don't just pick anything for a gift and have it be re-gifted, pick something useful and informative this time. This Globetrotter's LogBook® is really a fine gift to give, as it is very informative and is very interesting to have. So, there you have it folks, a gift in time for the holiday. Shop now while it is not too late. Christmas is nearing, so, you should hurry and make your order so that special someone you want to surprise with such nice gift will get it. You can have it shipped to you for not a lot of money; further more it is quite affordable. It doesn't cost much, and you can absolutely afford it. It is worth it. You can even find out about the 118 places to see before you die, I read.

We went out yesterday afternoon to supposedly pick up a carpet steam vacuum cleaner, but didn't get it after all, because we were still comparing prices. We found out different prices, and now deciding which store we should buy it from. We will go out again later to see about getting one for sure. Anyway, as for slipping and falling, yes I did. I slipped and fell hard on the icy ground last night when we got back home while holding our baby. I was getting out of our van stepping out, but then the minute I set foot on the ground, I just slipped and fell. A good thing though that I was able to hold on tight to the door and maintained a good grip when I fell with our baby. I fell on my butt and hand, if I fell on a rough surface, my hand would have been all scratched up and bruised, but fortunately my hand only got numb and red hurting a bit. I didn't bleed, but boy, my butt ached-the bone. Our baby didn't get hurt in any way at all-mommy held her so tightly that she didn't even badge. Oh, that was a close call, boy! Whew! My husband said I could have broken my ribs, neck, tail bone, etc. The baby could have been thrown to the ground, too. I am glad we didn't have a fiasco yesterday. Lucky us for now I guess...LOL. It snows and some of the time the ground would have ice, I mean the road becomes icy because it gets so cold here. So, yes, we sometimes walk on ice, we can even skate if we make an area where we can put water. The water would turn to ice in no time here in Michigan when it is winter, and well, it is winter here right now. Everyone has got to love the four season weather here. It is nice!

A lot of people would actually go into debt just so they can purchase something new and expensive. It almost happened to us really. In fact, my husband is still paying for what he owes from renovating our bathroom. It is not good to be in debt at all, it is like you are working for nothing, you keep working just to pay off your debt. My husband lowered all our monthly payments though to amounts that we can easily afford. So, we are okay. Anyway, if you are in a situation where you can't seem to get out of debt, I would suggest you to see about this debt consolidation because there is a way out of your debt situation. The site has the solution for you, and you won't have to worry about paying a sum of money to be able to consolidate your debt because the site is dedicated to helping you get out of debt, or at least lower you monthly payments. Live stress free knowing that you won't have to put up with people calling you all the time; bombarding you to pay your bills or else you will lose something valuable even your house. It could ruin your credit, you know. So, there you go, take a load off your shoulder by consolidating your debt. You can even do it yourself. So find out more!
