I probably live the life less traveled by many at my age though I'm pretty much the average. Battling a rare genetic bone disorder for twenty plus years now but that's not how my story ends. I take the joys of friendships, the serenity of solitude, the ups and downs of melancholy, drowns of sorrow and the intoxication of love. A certified coffee addict. An idiopath. A social networking junkie. A movie freak. Pet lover. Good food. Sunsets. A simple creature.

Trying to meet target goals

Whoa, I can’t believe we’re finally through the end of July. So many things I’ve been busy about lately though at some point I wonder what is really happening at the end of the day, so on and so forth. It’s one of the fascinating things I experience working in the World Wide Web. Your head never stops thinking in a speed of sound. Your mind is always up its beat to see what’s in there and all the possibilities. I don’t have time frames on everything I do up to the finished work.

The problem with data gathering you have to be resourceful and be equipped with new things so that you can always offer something fresh hot from the kitchen. Sometimes, I really don’t have that patience to finish a topic in one sitting down. Just like today, I give up a couple of hours to beg some sleep so I feel asleep in the middle of “my so-called work”. All in all, at the end of the day it’s a not a big deal for me whether I come up with something or not after all I’m enjoying my “work” as a hobby. No loud voices to tell you have to do this and that.

Though it’s better late than never, I have to report my Squidoo payout this month which is the whooping salary ($73.66) I ever received. It increases for about $7.97 more compare last month's payout. I should say that Google has been very good to me so far for this month. You see the payout for May is to be given this first week month of July. Google is leveling the page rank of my web pages lately so the lens rank keeps on changing from time to time. Still, my food lens is a hit even in these odd months which I’m getting a hard time to come up with other topics again. But, for sure as the season change I’ll get over being stuck in the world of writer’s block. I’m not really contented with the turn out of things because I didn’t meet my goal to be a Giant Squid last June 30th countdown. Well, its not that so bad for me even though I didn’t make my goal last month. For the most part, I love it because it is not something I need to argue to won the battle over religion and politics.

Sometimes, it’s not on how you get into the game that matters. It’s more of how you played the game that matters most…

GramaBarb - My Superhero Grandma

This person is my Superhero because...

You really want to know why? I know you do. She looks familiar, right? She is the Squidoo's very own GramaBarb. She's genuine, heartwarming and encouraging as a grandma. I'm so thankful that I had the chance to know her through her lenses and her beautiful soul like a sunshine to everybody that came across to her.

So let me have this opportunity to publicly thank her with the help of this simple page. Thank you for letting me found Squidoo, for showing me that there's a lot of possibilities out there in life, for teaching me a lot of amazing things I never know how and most of all for bringing out the best in me in my own little ways.

You are truly one of the best grandmothers in the world!

P.S.

The Adorable Flying Squirrel

Meet the Flying Mitten

Aren't they really cute? Yes, I love them so much. So, why they are called "flying mittens"? Can they really fly? A Flying Squirrel has an aerodynamic membrane that made them possible to glide and bounce from tree to tree as if they are flying but actually they are leaping as far as 260 feet.

The name "flying mitten" is fitting, since while gliding the squirrels appeared to be completely flattened much like a mitten. Plus, these extraordinary rodents has unique eyes which resemble large black pearls, nocturnal mammals and loves to play in the springtime.

This page will discover more exciting information about the life of these flying squirrels!

My Ultimate Comfort Food Ever!

Wow Sarap!

 This is my list of top 10 ultimate comfort food ever exists in my mama's kitchen... It all comes in random!

I must say that when I was a kid I'm a bad picky eater from veggies to meats I just ignored it, a plain simple rule when I was young. But looking back right now I realize how these foods embrace me while growing up filled with fond memories I always cherish.

Since I love food more than ever!

Most especially if it's a comfort food that really does makes me feel better and gets me going so I decided a trip down memory lane and list whatever I can recall.
