Re-organizing

A new year. A new start. Thus, I am planning to re-organize this site to make sure that it will now cover only women’s topics, motherhood, parenting, babies and kids. No more personal blogs in between since I now have another blog mainly for that purpose. Blogging tips also will be housed at the all new Blogger Hub.

I apologize if I wasn’t able to drop ECs or bloghop for the past few weeks. Been so busy learning how to use WordPress and how to do the codes. Now that am done, I can go back to being clicker-happy!

See you guys around.. :)

..can’t believe this!

I don’t know what has happened, probably it was because of one of the downloads I made the past days.. Our PC here at home now has spyware! And unlike a virus, it’s hard to get rid of, because when I try to access security sites such as McAfee or Avira, I keep getting DNS Server failed or cannot load page. I tried using Firefox, Chrome and IE, but I still can’t. I was able to succesfully download AVG (which is for free), but when AVG tries to connect to the internet so I can install the components in the PC, it blocks out the connection too. Same with Norton Live Update. I can’t update because something blocks out the connection. I can’t believe this is happening to me. That’s why I didn’t go online yesterday because I don’t know what to do. I heard that spyware can send my private data to whoever made it, and I’m so afraid to even access my emails. This is so disappointing. Anyone here who knows how I can get rid of it? It seems to be in .exe format.

Here are some screenshots when I open task manager. These .exe files should not even be here! They keep appearing in task manager as hid.exe, fonts.exe, MyPrograms.exe and who knows. There seems to be a lot of .exe files in task manager when only Firefox is running. Duh. Shoot me. Am not techy.

And then these files I already tried to delete numerous time but keeps reappearing on the Start Programs Menu.. (these aren’t supposed to be there since they weren’t there before.)

So anyone who has any idea how to get rid of it, please help. Send me a message over at elcalientemamma@yahoo.com
Thanks people!

First Day of ‘Simbang Gabi’ (Early Morning Mass)

One of the most important part of celebrating Christmas in the Filipino community is to attend the ‘Simbang Gabi’. This is a mass held in the wee hours of the morning around 3-5am. It’s a series which will last for 9 days, which starts December 16th until the 24th or Christmas Eve. They say that we you get to complete attending all 9 masses, you can make a wish and it will come true. For the past 12 years, I have been trying to complete it, but I have never done it. Why? Well, 6 years out of those 12 were spent working at call centers, where my shift starts at night and ends in the morning. So there. And the remaining 6, well, let’s just say I sometimes oversleep or I sleep at midnight and can’t wake up in time for mass. This year, me and my Bubby decided that we wanted to complete all 9 days. The church is just a stone’s throw away from the house, so we can be there in less than 10 minutes. BUT, again, I failed. I was wide awake until around 1AM this morning, so it was already 9AM when I woke up. I am disappointed, very disappointed in fact, because I was really keen on completing it this year. It’s not that I wanted to make a wish, but it’s something that I think will further strengthen the bond between me and my Bubby.
