I am not sure if it is okay for me to post the full video here, but what the heck… I’ll just pull it down if ever a problem arises…
I have been trying to get some work done but my mind is a blank – there is nothing there – nada… zilch! So, [...]

I don’t know if this will sell… Although no time to spare, I know I had to do it, my oil pastels are staring me straight in the face telling me to pick it up and make something. And so I did and from that picture a story was born.
The title of the children’s [...]

This review is loooooong overdue.. I received a book from my good friend Bear Jack Gebhardt of Heart Mountain Monastery a few weeks back but I did not get the chance to read it because my mother-in-law got to it firsthand and I had a few things under my belt to take care of first. [...]

Yesterday morning, Yahoo, one of our african lovebirds got out of her cage and we almost lost hope of ever finding her again. At around 3PM, my brother-in-law saw her on top of the acacia tree in the church yard in front of our house. She was flitting from tree to tree calling to her [...]

Hayden Kho and Mr. Twinkie

I’M ECLECTIC!!!
Yeah, big news…
Well, I am! And my friends would definitely vouch for me. As for Hayden Kho, he’s as methodical as clockwork working on the same room and with the same camera just with different tastes. Not eclectic at all. But he is a connoisseur (or not…) of women, while these women have bad [...]

I started with doing SEO and have had no problems with getting my blog ranking high in search engines and getting a PR 4 in a few month’s time. But venturing into web design and development started the downfall of BeThumbed, from PR 4 high to a PR 0. I design and develop websites now [...]

Happy Mother's Day

I wanted to give my mom flowers for Mother’s Day but with her being assigned to Cagayan De Oro and being constantly traveling, its a bit of a dilemma. So instead of spending money for flowers that will soon wilt, I opted to do a photo manipulation and a poem for my mom…
Happy Mother’s Day!

Handmade Journal Front Cover

It’s been awhile and BeThumbed has suffered because of my neglect, page rank is down to 1. Anyway, we are finally back home, been home for about a week now but we are still slowly adjusting and getting back to our normal lives. It’s still officially summer with Mr. Sun beating down mercilessly on anything [...]

I have always been intrigued by alternative medicines and have tried a few of them, although I am a bit apprehensive I have to say that most of them work as well as, if not as much as, BFAD approved medications. I have heard and read about holistic health, alternative medicines, homeopathy and from what [...]

I don’t own an iPod touch, I don’t have an iPod nor am I planning on buying one… My husband owns a creative zen x-fi that I usually borrow, but my brother is the proud owner of the iPod touch that I am using right now. I own the wireless router so I guess that [...]

BeThumbed is now using the new theme framework that I am going to build my theme on. Instead of thematic I am going to use the hybrid framework with the hybrid news child theme. I’ll be adding some customizations once in awhile to build up the theme but for now, this is it.

I am going to do another redesign of bethumbed based on the thematic framework. Will be working on child themes for now and will be releasing some of my wordpress themes to the online community one of these days. Watch out for the new Be Thumbed, that’s it for now.ta ta…

I’ve been meaning to post at least once a week in BeThumbed but I somehow did not get to it… Until now when I got the FuelMyBlog newsletter and a post caught my eye.

Clearing Writer’s Block
The causes and cures
There are generally three levels of block encountered by writers and other creatives.
All are relatively easily curable [...]

Rear Side View

We were lounging outside when we saw this really weird insect, this is unlike any insect we have ever seen. I am not an expert in insects but I do know the common ones and this one is not common to me at all.
For one, the insect is strutting around our table in a [...]

Chocolates

Yesterday was Valentine’s Day and I was so sure that nobody would give me flowers, as I’ve said, my husband is not the flower-giving type. But I did get something just as sweet, he gave my a box of chocolates and a box of delicious muffins, Khleomi promptly asked for the chocolate’s heart container and [...]

It’s 1:38 AM Philippine Time and it is officially Valentine’s Day. So what do I have in store for Valentine’s Day? Nothing…
I am, as of now, working my butt off and I do believe I’ll spend Valentine’s Day sleeping… I’m not much of a romantic – now. I was before but the rigors of working [...]

As part of the FMB community, although not as active as I was before, I always check out their blog whenever I see something interesting. And opening up my emails today, I learned that they are giving away 10 Global Cookbooks. This book is a compilation of recipes from FMB peeps around the world, I [...]

I know I haven’t been as faithful to BeThumbed as I once was… I was very busy with projects and I can hardly find the time to post although I did have a lot to write about. The path of a freelancer is a very hard path to trod on. You can never win whichever [...]

In less than 24 hours the Year 2008 will be no more, I wonder what 2009 is in store for me. But so far, I am loving the New Year…
I wrote this post last year, Dec 31, 2008 and was not able to finish it because I was too busy with preparing our New [...]

Crime rates almost down to nil, people staying at home and being with their families, fights are at a standstill and traffic is non-existent. Why? Because today is the day that a lot of people are waiting for. Today, two super heroes face each other. The question is, who will triumph and bring his country [...]

This is about three days late but I had some problem with uploading pictures, so here goes…
Last December 1, while blowing up plastic balloons and have the kids throw it up in the air in our unfinished 2nd floor, Reign pointed out that the moon is smiling! And wonders of wonders, it actually [...]

Little kids are scared of thunder and my little boy is not too fond of thunders either… Here’s Xanth Reign singing “Maluoy ka, Ginoo”…

PancakeHouse's Gambero

Back when we were working in Manila, I was always fond of PancakeHouse especially their salisbury steak. So when we went out earlier today to buy a headset, we decided to try out the newly opened PancakeHouse in SM Delgado, right beside Ace Hardware.
I was going to order the Salisbury steak like I always do [...]

Well, from PR4 to PR2… Its a rather drastic change but I’ve been expecting it. With the amount of time I spend working on my client’s projects I could barely get the time to write and/or do my own projects. But you gotta do what you gotta do seeing that we have three mouths to [...]

Some people just can’t stand on their own – still blaming others for their mistakes. It takes a man to stand up and admit his fault while it takes a weakling to hide behind others and do their dirty deeds underhandedly.
I’ve always believed in karma and believe me, you will eventually get your dues… You [...]

I should be ranting today but I am too busy and too happy to do so…
I’ve had no connection for almost three days, I requested a modem change from BayanDSL last Sept. 08 and told them that my connection is intermittent, they told me that someone would come over to check out the problem [...]
