I’m hoping that posting will be back to its normal pace by tomorrow as we wind up fixing some technical problems. I won’t bore you with the details save to say that I believe, now more than ever, that it isn’t a good idea to make decisions — especially major ones — in a fit of anger.
The times when my blogs went offline… well, I think I finally found the problem. We’re doing some fixing — meaning, Yuga and I — and we hope that all issues will be resolved within the next 48 hours or so. To be quite honest, I almost pulled out all my blogs from Ploghost. I was going to do it last night, actually — overnight if I had to. But I was so tired having spent the entire day doing my Christmas shopping. When I got up at around noon today and started to pick up where I left off last night, definitely with a cooler and clearer head, I finally found what appears to be causing all the problems. I felt bad that just a few hours earlier I wanted to bash Yuga hehehe. It really wasn’t his fault.
A few months ago, my food blog was defaced by some assholic hacker. Although I cleaned out the garbage that he left on both accounts, he apparently left something that would make the problem recur over and over. Smart guy, I wish his fingers would swell to ten times their size so he can’t touch a keyboard ever again.
Anyway, I was doing some reading and landed on Marc Macalua’s blog. To be more precise, Marc a.k.a. Mr. SEO sent a trackback to one of my entries and that was how I landed on his blog. The wiseass called me opinionated. 
I think he’s opinionated for calling me opinionated. 
Just kidding LOL. Actually, I mentioned Marc’s post because he is displaying something really cute on his pages. When I hovered over his links with my mouse, a screenshot of the site being linked to would pop up. Yeah, like the ones I NOW have on my pages.
So, Marc, a toast to being opinionated. Hadn’t you called me one, I might not have discovered Snap until everyone else has.

Hey, that’s neat!
How will this be used to your advantage?
Connie 12.10.06 at 11:10 pm
LOL poppycock, have fun!
Bayi, I don’t know if there’s really any advantage except that it allows readers to see a sneek preview of what there is in the external link.

Connie,
It really pays to read your blogs. I pick good reads namely yuga and now Marc(macalua) then poppycock(?). All of you get to update your blogs,websites on a regular basis. Don’t tell me that blogging has waned among some Pinoys. Like mayamaya says SNAP is cool.So thanks.

rina 12.11.06 at 9:40 am
hmm, methinks i’m gonna love this snap…
thanks, sassy… and marc, he he

Nothing wrong with being opinionated (I credit that to my Grade 4 English teacher). I think you’re one of the hardest hitting bloggers out there…and that niche won’t go to anyone anytime soon. Besides, a 3-page long post from you deserves a linkback everytime!
At the end of the day, I think being able to put your personal stamp on an idea has been the not-so-secret recipe for success in search engines and life in general that many have tried to copy but so few have succeeded that way you have.
Kanpai!

hi sassy, so that’s why all my postings didnt appear…i was so in the mood pa naman to read all your previous articles in almost all categories, then commented something about them…now, i forgot na what i said. hehe..

re: military retirees still in govt- have dealt with them before (these men will not hesitate to ask for rebates), same thing with the senators & tongressmen….hehe
Elaine Reyes 12.11.06 at 11:42 am
sassy, my hubby is now reading you na pala. kasi you’re always a topic of conversation here during meal time…
Connie 12.11.06 at 12:21 pm
Joe, aren’t blogs a worthy alternative to tired old mainstream media? LOL
rhodora and rina, o, start snapping? hehehehe
Ah, Marc, now I’m about to write a 3-page article (for the column tomorrow) about how to get Christmas shopping done in one day. And I think the MEN will object hahahahaha
Elaine, things are back to normal, thank goodness.
I’m not into microwave, sorry.
We gave away ours. But I’ve been doing a lot of baking lately. Cheesecake recipe will be posted later today. 
Joe 12.11.06 at 3:55 pm
Connie hi, what! a mother,cook,blogger,columnist,author…walang microwave at home. Eh paano mo pinapainit ang leftover stuff mo in the fridge & kitchen? Don’t tell me you don’t use Splenda.I’ll try your latest chocolate cake recipe with it. Layo ata sa SNAP hehe.
phynkee 12.11.06 at 4:19 pm
sassy, this is nice! i enjoy snapping! hehehe
Connie 12.11.06 at 4:25 pm
Joe, we gave away the microwave (to one of the workers when we built the kitchen extension 2 years ago) because we were only using it for reheating. I tried learning to cook with the microwave but it wasn’t me. hehehe And I prefer reheating on the stove top.
LOL phynkee, nice, ‘no?
