Linking a Blog to Facebook and Twitter via NetworkedBlogs app

For the past few days, I've been playing around with several apps in Facebook for blogging.

So far NetworkedBlogs is one of the more useful ones, since it can automatically update your Facebook as well as your Twitter.

So here's how you do it:
1. Login to Facebook and search for NetworkedBlogs.

2. Click on 'Go to application.'

3. Register your blog.

4. Verify your blog. Either have your friends confirm (slow) or you can do it yourself (fast).

5. Click on Add a Twitter account and follow instructions to link this app with your account.

Foods-To-Eat List: Christmas 2010 in the Philippines

After three long years, we will finally be going back to Philippines to celebrate Christmas! It's been a while so here are some food items that I want to eat once we get home:

"Star Bread" or Putok -- yep, miss the good ol' putok / star bread made in our local bakery, accompanied with Coke which I consume every afternoon. Though I'd probably pass on the Coke this time around...

Halo-Halo -- whether it's the halo-halo on the streets or the halo-halo in Chowking or Razon's, it's way better than anything they have here.

Red Ribbon's Salisbury Steak -- very yummy! Love the sauce on top of that luscious salisbury steak! Mmmmmmm...... Steeeeeaaaak..... :))


KFC Gravy -- yep, there's KFC in Singapore, but there's NO gravy! And no spoon and fork either! Yep, I miss the bottomless gravy we love and enjoy at KFC! Maybe I'll order some chicken too.....

Pampanga's Best's Pina Ham -- I used to sell some of this in my last job back there... Well, there's really no reason not to like it. It's cheaper than the traditional Christmas hams, but is very very tasty. A lovely alternative if you're on a tight budget.

Hen Lin's Siomai -- One of my favorites, going way way back in gradeschool. I remember when the local Park and Shop was still open and the "food court" area had a Hen Lin stall which sells 4pc of Siomai for 16 pesos. Then there's the calamansi/lime and the chili! Ah good times... Anyway, the only thing that's changed is the cost. And the fact that Park and Shop closed down a long time ago...


Smokey's Chicago Dog -- One of the reasons I love watching movies so much! Perfectly cooked hotdog on bun. Pickle relish. Bacon bits. Onions. Sauce -- not sure if it's just meat sauce or chili sauce? Plus a healthy serving of ketchup and mustard! Now, all we need is a move to watch...

Ah yes... Good times... :)

Newborn Filipinos in Singapore... Now What? - Summary

We finally completed our baby's papers here. I just thought this summary might come in handy for other Filipinos in Singapore who have a child born here. Here's a list of your to-do's in order to ensure that your child has the papers to have a valid stay in Singapore -- i.e., so your child is not an illegal alien, a TNT here.

This is divided into three main posts, as there is a waiting time in between each.

Part One: From Birth to Passport Application
The initial part consists of the following steps:

• Birth Registration
• Philippine Passport Application
• Extension of 42-Day Limit

Completing your Baby's LTVP Formalities (Newborn Filipinos in Singapore... Now what? - Part 3)

This is the last post regarding of the "Newborn Filipinos in Singapore... Now what?" articles.

At last, this is the homestretch. Weeks of patience and hardwork now pays off as your child finally gets his new Long Term Visit Pass (LTVP).

That is, of course, assuming your application was approved.

While waiting for the approval...
The review of your child's LTVP application usually takes between two to three (2-3) weeks. During this waiting period, it is best to get the following ready to avoid the cramming:

The Poem that Made Us Cry Again

While searching quotes for Riley's christening, we came across this poem... It pretty much summed up everything we felt. It's been a while but we never thought we'd still cry after all this time...

God Gave Us A Tiny Rosebud
For our Angela Marie

God gave us a tiny Rosebud,
It was the fragile kind.
She never opened her petals,
They were so delicate and fine.

God didn't want us to keep her,
To care for and to love,
So He tenderly took her away,
Up to heaven above.
