"What's on your mind?"

Anything you post WILL be taken against you. The Internet is forever. Think before you post.

My Holiday Personality

It's 2 days before Christmas, but my brain has already decided to take a vacation leave. Actually, I should be working on a writing project for my father-slash-client, so I've been negotiating with my brain--in vain, I must add--for 2 hours now. In the end, I found myself taking a holiday personality test instead--as if there's not enough of them on Facebook already. There's no place like blogthings.com for crazy quizzes, fun personality tests, and what-nots that you can post on your websites and blogs.




Your Holiday Personality is Caring



Your holidays are all about connecting and sharing. This is a sacred time of year, and you like to spend it with those who are special to you.

You like to make sure everyone around you is comfortable, full of love (and goodies!), and healthy.



You love to surprise people with the best Christmas gifts ever. You will search high and low for that perfect present.

You are always reflecting on the true meaning behind the holidays. You appreciate all that you have been given in this world.


       
Aw... Check out what blogthing has in store for you. Once your results are generated, simply click on the "Get Code" link and voila! You can post your results on your website right away. HTML proficiency and eye strain NOT necessary. You only need to be a copy-paste expert. Happy Holidays!

Things I know about life I learned from the Web:


In the tradition of Robert Fulghum's All I Really Need To Know I Learned in Kindergarten, I'm posting something that I wrote back in 2005. This was way before I got addicted to Facebook--for which I'm making a new list. (The pathos and conflict on my News Feed puts it in a class of its own. lol.)


Things I know about life I learned from the Web:




Always remember where to use which password

Your history can catch up with you. Delete cookies.

When you get too far from what you’re looking for, you can always hit Home

Too much of a good thing can be hazardous. Share too many files, and you’ll end up God-knows-where.net

Just as you’re updating your antivirus, someone else is coming up with a more dangerous one that can crash your hard drive

If you’re sure about what you don’t want or need, always remember to Empty Recycle Bin to reclaim disk space

Help/Support is not always on real time

If you happen to perform an illegal operation, system will shut down

If at times you find yourself looking at things that don’t seem to appear the way they should, Refresh

Defrag from time to time

The webcam can be positioned to show the best angles. You only see what you want to see

If you don’t have adequate bandwidth, expect some downtime

You have the power to create links, but there are times when your search leads to unavailable. . . and you may need to adjust your security settings

You get more hits from passersby

Your social network profile is sometimes more interesting to your enemies than it is to your friends :P

If you feel that you need an emotional or creative outlet and a place where your opinion matters, where YOU matter, create your own blog

If you need assurance that you’re not alone and that you’re normal, read THEIR blogs

*****

If in doubt, Google

Google Adsense disabled???

Wow. It's been a while since I've had the time to write for my own blog. Unfortunately, this comeback is a sad experience. I just found out that my Google Adsense account has been disabled. I know what you're thinking: "What did she do?"

Good question.

I'm wondering about that, too. For one, my application for Google Adsense was disapproved the first time, because I have the misfortune of living in a rather small city where houses and streets aren't numbered. I was informed that I could reapply, but to make sure I won't have problems this time, I decided to send an e-mail to their customer service. Unfortunately, I never received a reply.

And today, just as I was going to post an entry, I found out that my account has been disabled. Usually, this happens when you violate Google Adsense's policies, such as clicking on ads in your own site or soliciting clicks from friends in the blogosphere. I did none of that. In fact, I have not been sent a notification e-mail warning me of a policy violation (like what bloggers' whose accounts have been disabled typically get). I had read the Terms and Conditions meticulously before applying, as I am aware that once you breach any of these, you're going to get kicked for good.

What is mind-boggling for me is that my account has been disabled even if it was never even activated. I thought about giving it another chance and filling out their appeals form. However, I decided against it after reading the forum threads. See for yourself here.

It just doesn't make (Ad)sense. Oh well, I guess I'll just charge this one to experience. It sure won't make me love blogging less.
