I’ve been very eager to have this blog of mine in starting the sponsored post. So far, only 1 website accepted it yet. I’ve signed up with payperpost and other websites but they rejected it as it only has very less traffic. Huh? I wonder what kind of traffic they are looking for. I’ve submitted and registered this page in many websites already and they aren’t satisfied with it? Oh la la! But then, that’s the law and the policies. I have to respect it and to follow their rules. In general, a blog must have 90 post in the past 3 months. Huhuuhu I am very far yet to have that 90 post.
On the other hand, it feels good to have your own domain and I am very happy that I got this opportunity to have my own domain. I’ve been dreaming for this for many years. At first, I thought that it would be very difficult for me to have one as I don’t have so much knowledge about codes, programs and etc. but with the help of good friends that I met here online, Voila, here it is now and it is still working. My life might be busy sometimes but blogging has really helped me a lot. At first, I get sad because I don’t have so many things to do and I have a huge free time. My adjustments here was a little bit difficult for me at first especially that I haven’t meet any filipino in my area yet but because of blogging, it’s keeping me busy and I am earning at the same time. I hope this domain will be accepted soon.
Guys and gals, how did you keep your blog in having that huge traffic? What’s the secret to have a google pagerank?

Q fromWilson: If your in a ferry accident with your Mom and your Girlfriend/Boyfriend, who will be the first person you’ll gonna save among the two of them as the only available person that can save them from a cliff of death? Why?
Answer : I will definitely save my mom coz she has saved me a lot of times and she took care of me and she is FAMILY. At this point, the BF is no option as I don’t have one hahaha as I have a hubby now.
My QUESTION:
Q from ME: If you win One Million pesos and were to share/donate a part of it to the Church, how much of it are you willing to give to the church? Or are you willing to give all of it to the church?
FRANCINE’s answer: I will be very thankful ifever I will win one million pesos and will surely donate 1/4 at the church, 1/4 at the children’s orphanage I know near at home and 1/2 will be for my family. Family portion is a little bit bigger because my parents are sick and I need to provide them the best doctor and hospital. 250,000 is not that much but I am very sure that many things can be done with this amount already like a little renovation at the church maybe or something. Even if I will be winning this amount or not, still, it wouldn’t stop me and I will always donate a portion of the blessings I always have.
QUESTION from FRANCINE: If you will be given a chance to spend a very special day with somebody who is famous or unfamous like an actress/actor/director/filmmaker/businessman/painter/sculptor and etc., who would it be and why? And how do you imagine that day would be?

As months passes by, I can say that I am able to adjust the things here slowly. I don’t have any complaints about the food because french cuisines are really tasty and ifever I miss asian foods, there’s an asian store nearby. At first, it was a bit difficult for me that I easily got drunk after drinking a glass of wine. But now, I can say that I can manage to have more than 1 glass per meal. Of course I am happy because it allows me to enjoy the wine and the meal together. Meal here isn’t complete without a glass of wine..either its du vin rouge, blanc or rosé and never forget the cheese of course. Bordeaux is the place here in France where famous wines come from. Hubby and I are still discovering the wines here. There are hundreds of different wines available in the market but if you will be asking me what’s on my top list? Well, that is really a different question. But so far, the wines on the picture are the ones I love. I love it when it’s fresh from the fridge.
Last monday I had my second and last appointment at the agency here arranged by the government for all the foreigners who’ll be residing here in France for good. I was very lazy again as I have to wake up early because the appointment is at 9 in the morning. Although it is not far from the place where I am living but as it was cold and raining and hubby couldn’t drop me somewhere at the city center as he has a meeting too, so my only option is to take a bus. Buses in the morning are always full especially 8:30 as the people work at 9. This rendez-vous I had was very informative because it gives us many informations about my rights as a wife of a french citizen and my rights as a foreigner here. Very informative for me because it allows me to have an idea how will I be able to take some money from the government hehehe but not only that huh? I mean it is very informative because of so many topics and things. Honestly, it was a little bit boring. We were only 14 there ( 3 japanese, 1 filipina (me), 3 arabs and 7 africans). Everytime I attended something and I don’t really enjoy it, I still listen of course but at the same time I draw something too. Picture above is my carricature dawwww that I did while listening to the speaker. The african lady both in my left and right side gave me a naughty smile when they saw me doing something. Hubby saw this drawing when I arrived here at home and he finds it cute. Il est bizarre non? What do you guys think? Am I capable enough na ba to be the next Ralph Lauren or Monique Lhuillier? Hehehe wish ko lang!
I’ve been hearing this name Chris Crocker everywhere on the web and every channels here at home. Do you know who this guy is? He is very famous these days in youtube, pleading everyone to leave Britney Spears alone. So now, he is an internet celebrity because of this youtube video he did. He has produced dozens of videos but this latest video of him/her (he’s a gay) tearfully crying, begging and defending his idol to give her the privacy she needs and to give her some respect is the only video that made him on the top of the list. Yes and the title of the video is no other than “Leave Britney Spears Alone”. Shall we say that he/she is a number 1 Britney Spears fan?
Well, Britney has totally changed. She’s completely different now. Her previous image when she was still single is the complete opposite of who she is right now. Well, I just can’t imagine myself doing this…begging everyone to leave my idol alone. What do you guys think?
I was very much surprise that my friend KC gave me this award. Oh, let me tell you my friends that this girl is the first person who did something on my control panel as I couldn’t understand anything about it. I knew her because of another good friend of mine from Manila. She knows a lot of stuffs too about blogging and computers. Thanks a lot KC for this award!
We woke up at around 2 o’clock in the afternoon last sunday and the weather was quite good. Instead of staying at home watching tv, hubby and I decided to visit St. Emilion. It is one of the touristic places here in south of france.
Saint-Emilion is located 35 km north-east from Bordeaux, between Libourne and Castillon-La-Bataille. This medieval town stands proudly at the top of a hill overlooking the Dordogne valley, and was built in the shape of an amphitheatre. From the moment the bell-tower can be seen, Saint-Emilion is an enchantment. The commune covers an area of 27 km².
Visiting this place is really a must if you guys will be coming here in France. In general, it is very touristic in the month of August but tourits were still around even if automn is already here. Of course when there is sun, much better to travel around and to take good pictures. That’s my opinion. But anyway, this place is really beautiful. The structures are unique and ohhhh, one of the tasty wines come from St. Emilion. Their wines are in my favorite lists you know.
St. Emilion’s page for infos: http://www.saint-emilion-tourisme.com/
I first saw this girl on Elle Magazine. The very first time I saw it, I thought it was just a cartoon something or a picture edited for a special campaign. But honestly, this girl on the picture is really the real one and that’s how she really looks like in real person. She looks very skinny and she’s suffering from anorexia. Months ago, it has been in the news everywhere that models in the fashion world must not be too skinny and they should gain weight. Why? Young women look up to them and follow them. Let’s face it, what young people see on tv has a very big influence in someone’s eyes and life. Many young women are very much willing to suffer their meals just to have a very petite size like the models. But on my part, I don’t imagine myself as skinny as that.
Anyway, the model above is called Isabelle Caro, french and she’s 27 years young. She got famous after she posed naked in an ad campaign in battling againt anorexia. From her blog, she said that she’s been suffering anorexia at the age of 13. Photographs posted on magazines and ads were shot by the controversial italian photographer whose name is Oliviero Toscani. What’s their aim of exposing this kind of photo and this girl? It is to show everyone the reality of this illness, caused in most cases by the stereotypes imposed by the world of fashion. If I remember it very well, last year, super-skinny models were banned from Madrid Fashion Week. The ban covers girls with a body mass index of below 18 — 18.5 to 25 is considered to be “normal.”
Now let me ask you, do you want to have that super skinny body too like models or like her? Better think about it before it’s too late.
A very good and beautiful friends of mine Yen and KC, gave me this “You Make Me Smile” Award. Yepeeee, I am very happy to have this kind of award.
