I got an award from Liza. Many thanks, sis!

The Rules:
1) You have to pick 5 blogs that you consider deserve this award for their creativity, design, interesting material, and also for contributing to the blogging community, no matter what language.
2) Each award has to have the name of the author and also a link to his or her blog to be visited by everyone.
3) Each award winner has to show the award and put the name and link to the blog that has given her or him the award itself.
4) Award-winner and the one who has given the prize have to show the link of “Arte y Pico” blog, so everyone will know the origin of this award. http://arteypico.blogspot.com/

==========================

I am passing on this award to Nona, Mousey, Zen, Sasha, and Elaine.

Got tagged by Mousey a while back, and the first time I looked at her list it was shorter; but now that I’ve delayed this post for a few days (hehehe), her list has gone longer!

Another one of the linky love memes, let’s give this one a try.

I read that it is possible to increase the traffic of your blog through StumbleUpon. So I have decided to try it out, with your help ofcourse. Here is the concept:

Stumble the pages that link to you. In this way you drive more traffic to the page containing your link and thus you hope that some of that traffic comes back to you via the link on that page.

Supposedly, we are to link ourselves to Stumbled sites to generate the traffic that we want. But what if we could just Stumble on each other’s sites/blogs?

Let’s modify things a bit and make our very own StumbleWorthy list. Why have a list, you say? A list is necessary for the participants to StumbleUpon. And also, it’s needed to check whether the participants are really Stumble-ing. Plus, it helps your Technorati authority soar high! Neat, huh? Idea of having a list is actually because of The Big Bang. Click on the link to join.

–START COPYING HERE–

Here are the rules:
1. Copy from “START COPYING HERE” to “STOP COPYING HERE”.
2. Add your site(s) to the list. Just be sure to post the “StumbleWorthy List” at each site you add.
3. Let me know your blog’s name and url by leaving me a comment HERE. I will add you to the master list.
4. Come back and copy the master list back to your site, often. This will allow the new comers to achieve equal benefit as the late comers do.
5. Register in StumbleUpon and install the toolbar.
6. Go to the sites found on the list and give them a thumb up (I like it!).
7. Add me as your friend in StumbleUpon: Blanne.

Note: Your url will be deleted in the Master List if you do not comply to the given rules.

PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD! TELL YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT THE LIST. OR CLICK HERE TO GET A BANNER THAT YOU CAN PUT ON YOUR BLOG. THE MORE PARTICIPANTS, THE GREATER INCREASE IN TRAFFIC!

Am tagging She and Emmyrose.

Every time we visit the mall, we never fail to drop by the book store. Even if we end up not buying anything, we just love browsing through the books and see the different topics and newest additions. Usually, though, we end up buying one, or two. So now we have many books and no decent book cases! I know we should make that a priority (the book case), but so far we haven’t seen one that we really like; or maybe we’d just have one custom-made for us, huh?

Before leaving for the province last weekend, my family and I went to the mall and got ourselves some toys; I got my “gadget” while my son got another game for his Nintendo DS Light! Guaranteed not to keep us bored during the trip! Hubby didn’t get anything for himself, though … the two gadgets that we got were expensive enough!

Sooo sorry for not visiting these past few days … went out of town for a bit and didn’t have the chance to log into the internet because I had lots of “competition”!

Anyway, we’re back home now … where there’s not much competition anymore (what with two computers here!). So, am back!

The only thing that I usually put on my face before I sleep is a night cream (after washing my face, of course), and I’m afraid I don’t even do that regularly. I guess it’s about time I check out those best anti wrinkle cream that you can see not only online, but also offline. I must admit it’s not one of my favorite topics, but I know it won’t hurt! lol.

What about you, think you need to look for a similar cream, too?
