My Day and Bloghopping...

-
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's a slow day today. Some work was released earlier by 2 of the companies I work for. Since work is not a lot, it was gone in a few. I was able to do some which is good. I have been doing my hopping also...not done yet but more than half way through already.

Speaking of this hopping, sometimes I get lazy hopping to some sites. Well, there are sites that I've been visiting pretty regularly and I have not seen any hit back in months. The blogs are being updated so I know they're still active bloggers...so I'm just wondering why a visit back is not happening.

I know it's a personal choice to visit blogs but isn't there some kind of an agreement to visit each other's blogs even just once in a while when link exchange happens? Or is that a wishful thinking?? My list is getting longer by the day and I don't know if I should let it get longer. I don't mind exchanging links BUT...what's the use of the exchanging links? Do I get an assurance that those I'm going to add will visit me as often as I visit them? Or will they also disappear in thin air after being added?

Ok....let me ask this question:

"Why do you agree to exchange links with other bloggers?"

Don't hesitate to answer this in my comment box. I'm very much interested in other's view on this. I am also just curious if I am alone on this predicament. I am hoping I am not...LOL!

Edited to Add: Obviously this is not directed to any of that gets to read this. Why? Because that means you come visit my blog, right?

I completely understand you here as what my hubby said who is only a month in blogging others are asking to xlinks but he never seen them back after all.

Our rule now is to visit regularly those who visit our blogs because they are worthy to visit. hehehee =)

Anyway, my answer is I do exchange links to get more links and more to hop and read. It's nice to read other blogs to learn some lessons too.

You are not alone my dear...hence the reason why I felt lazy doing blog hops...they said that the more links you have the better as you will get higher google pagerank... I think that's the reason why a lot of bloggers wants to exlinks…

Anyway last month, I updated my blogroll and visited each one on my list and checked if my name was still in their blogroll. I found out that more than half on my list, I wasn’t on their list… I deleted it right away with out any question hehehehe

"Why do you agree to exchange links with other bloggers?"

Hmm... I have so many reasons. One, to get a better Google PR Rate. Two, so that I could have an easy link to the blogs I want to read.

There are blogs that have asked me to exchange links with them but their content is... uhm... well unreadable.

But I am really amazed that you can hop to blogs (especially mine, and thank you for that! ^_^) on a daily basis. You should be given the Best Blog Hopper Award!

I exchange links because I find their blogs and the blogger interesting. I do not have a never ending list tho thats because I never ask to xlinks. I try to hop as much as I can and comment on each. But I guess what you're pointing out is an inevitable truth bout the blogging world. Some of them might not care at all. lol. haha.. Best blog hopper award, that's really you Ate J. hehe

L-O-S-T. I guess that about sums up how I'm feeling right now...with blogging anyway. I don't even know how to start this post. 😕 It's been almost 2 years since I last posted. It's not that I have nothing to write about. I have plenty but I seem to have lost interest in blogging. I thought  at first that it was just a phase. I thought it would only last for a few days but days turned into weeks then months then years and I still haven't blogged. Nothing sparked my interest to blog so I just didn't. Not even paid posts lured me back. I even considered deleting it altogether. I felt like I'm wasting my money paying for the domain name. But I can't do it so I just keep on paying. I can't seem to let go of the domain 'Pinay Wahm' because I got it when not many Moms were able to make a living or earn in the comforts of home. I also have a lot of personal posts here that when I want to get details about something that happened in my life I can

Simple Life....

When we visited my family in 2012 we didn't actually spend as much time as I would have liked with most of them. That's because we planned a road trip which took most of our time. Since we were on the road majority of the stay, we weren't able to spend as much time in my childhood home. During our recent trip, that's exactly what we did. We spent a lot of time in my childhood home. We actually stayed home too much that we got bored after a while. But it was somehow an 'eye opener' for me as well as my significant other. On his part, he was finally able to experience 'real summer' back there. Both trips happened in April. But since we were in an air-conditioned car most of the time during our 2012 trip, we didn't really feel how hot it was. This time around, the air-con was only in our room. As soon as we stepped outside, it's hot. As a result, the AC in our room stayed on the whole day because it served as a reprieve from the heat. Every time

Finally finished the project I started a couple of months ago...at least. Now I'm a happy [and a bit sore] camper. I finished putting the mulch this morning mainly because I don't want to give the weeds another chance to invade the flower beds again...at least for a few months anyway. I think I had to pull out weeds twice before to prepare them for the mulch. I thought hubby would have the chance to put it down but his work just wouldn't let him so I decided to do it myself a few weeks ago. So why did it take me weeks to finish 2 and a half flower beds? I was just taking my time I guess. There was no hurry so I took my time. Now that I'm done with that 'project' I'm off to continue another one that I started about 2 weeks ago...decluttering my home office. The weather here is as unpredictable as...the weather? Last week it was raining almost everyday as predicted by the meteorologists around here. The time the rain would fall was the unpredictable part tho
