GIMP At Last!

And so I have been busy the past few days, trying to transform a photo into a vector like image..and after looking for the right tutorial, mix and matching those available on the net, I am finally done with my first ever vector like image that is worth sharing. This is not my first but this one is my first that is pleasing to my eyes. woohoo!!

Don’t freak out yet guys and don’t start your pehpot cult yet, I am no good.. it just takes a lot of patience.. all you need is a GIMP, the right tool, er, the GIMP magic tool which is the path tool and there you go..I have a friend who can make complicated vector images from scratch.. and I am more more than far from that.. but who knows.. LOL

Entrecard Dropping Buraot Style

When I started a blog, I have no idea what entrecard means. I have seen this card and some of the blogs I hopped in talks about their top droppers, etc.. Dropping cards, top droppers, Entrecard credits, those were new to me. So I signed up on Entrecard and found this one is a good traffic site. When you see the Entrecard widget you drop.. I can’t further explain the goodness of Entrecard but, more or less 25% of my traffic comes from this.

Now if you have seen that twinkling widget on my sidebar, that’s the focus of our discussion now. I found out about Buraot’s EC dropper through Fedhz. It’s easy as pie, you just go click on the site and you will see little boxes with bats on it (hey Buraot loves Batman) and click on the box. Every box have ten tabs on it, with ten site that has an EC widget where you can drop your card on. Dropping 300 cards won’t be a hassle at all. If not for my stupid connection, this is as easy as ten minutes.

So aside from I find this dropper really helpful, I just want to thank Buraot for including me on the list of his drop sites. I am so thankful because as I have said, more or less 25% of my traffic comes from this.

Buraot is a veteran actor.. no? oh but I thought. you were..you have the same name eh.. OK just a joke. Aside from this helpful dropper, he also have other sites that is worth dropping and staying for. My favorite is his Anak ni Kulapo, it never fails to make me laugh.

And he also writes for Barrio Siete, my favorite sietehan at tambayan.

Who Does Not Like Taho?

I grew up loving Taho or Soya Milk (am I right?). It’s the best way to beat growling stomach. The warm (or hot) soya with caramelized sugar and tiny sago, who could ever forget?

I remember back in college when I had no time to eat breakfast, a hot taho could to the trick to keep my body and mind awake. When we had to do some overnight stuffs and travel to Manila for some kinda of a “field trip”, Taho is our companion.

Now that I have kids, I still can’t get enough of this treat. the best I have so far is the taho from strawberry fields in Baguio City. My kids loved that one too, even my husband. Here in our neighborhood, there are two taho vendors. And as much as possible I try not to buy on the other vendor. Their taho both tasted good. It’s the appearance of the vendor that is not appealing… oh goodness their on food business, they should look clean and trimmed, right?

Would you buy a taho from a vendor who has long finger nails? worst, with dirts on it?

Would you buy a taho form a man who hasn’t shaved?

Would you a buy a taho from a man who looked like he had not showered for days?

I can just imagine how much bacteria he is about to transfer while scoping our mouth watering taho.. ugh!

This a taho vendor in Baguio.. tell me, will you buy taho from him?
