You Make Me Smile

You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you and so many more yous!
After my rant, I saw that a little Genie Princess had dropped by with this award and suddenly my Monday’s beginning to look a little brighter. So I’m passing it on to all you lovely people out there because you truly make me smile!
Happy Monday everyone!
Don’t Stalk Me!

From CartoonStock
Don’t you hate it sometimes when you speak to someone random you haven’t spoken to in a long time and the person seems to know so much about what’s been happening in your present life? It totally freaks me out.
I used to have a old handphone number which I hadn’t used in many years after I got a company one. I gave that number to Mom and recently on a whim, I checked her phone to see if I got any messages still going to that number. Lo and behold! Saw one from an ex-colleague I hadn’t spoken to in at least 3-4 years, asking to meet up. So I messaged him back to let him know my new number and suggested a meet up sometime if he was around the area.
Last night I got a message from him updating me where he was now and asked which company I was with with a little list of some companies I used to work with. The shocking thing was, in that list, he had included a prospective company that I was recently contemplating joining but didn’t end up going to. How the heck did he even know about it when I hadn’t seen him in ages? Unless one of my mutual friends spilled? And I know if I were to ask him about it, he’ll say, “Oh a little bird told me”
Argh…don’t you hate secretive people who seem to know what’s happening in your life? I definitely do.
*whew* Monday morning rant out of the way. Now I can get on with my week
Edited to say: Stalkers on my blog are welcome!
Hehe…but only if you’re nice!
Tips and More Tips
I recently participated in a Tips & Tricks Project by Daily Blog Tips, thanks to Sis who told me about it. Ah, I do love having a Sis who’s so savvy about blogging and techy stuff!
Saves me having to use my small brain to understand techy mumbo-jumbo!
Daily Blog Tips is a great site that runs really good tips on how to optimize your blog. It’s perfect for tech-idiots like me who can’t get my small brain around SEO or Alexa…or even Feedburner!
I know, it’s embarrassing! Anyway, with this project, they got bloggers from all over the world to submit their tips and tricks on everything and anything and the response received was overwhelming! A whopping 121 submissions on blogging, technology, fitness and more! I’m sharing with you some of my favourites. However, if you wish to view the whole list, you can do it here. I hope you find it as useful as I did!

A Daily Dose of Pink
Don’t you love it when sometimes the world just collides in a random burst of pinkiness?
Pink jammies on a pink bedspread with pink pillows!
I promise it was purely coincidental!
