I love it.

Of course, just like any updates, different reactions from its users. There are some like me who loves it, others doesn’t.

A friend introduced me to this site saying that I should reserved my name or nick. The domain is just so catchy to pass. I reserved my nick “Babsy.” Today I received an email from them saying I am one of the first to be invited to use the page.

I was looking for a software that could help me shrink the files I have and create it into a DVD-video. With the built it burner of Windows 7 out of the 22 videos I have, it only would fit 5 videos in one 4.7 GB blank DVD. So it means I would be using 5 blank DVDs to complete the 22 videos. However, with the BurnAware, specifically the free one, I burned all 22 files into one 4.7 GB blank DVD.

Imagine how much I saved on this free software! I recommend this to all the people who were having the same problem as me. After all, being an SEO means having to save a lot of files and we don’t want a slow PC do we? So we need to store it somewhere else and USB flash disc would be too expensive.

I remember the time when a friend had a blog post stating that women are worst drivers in the world, and I as a woman and a driver just cant help but react to that statement. In doing so, I did my online research and had proven that women are better drivers according but not limited to an MSN Autos article entitled “Who are better drivers: Men or Women?”

Top Gear and Pilipinas Shell is introducing their new project, which is a search entitled “Are you the Philippines’ Smartest Driver?” The winning driver will join the team Philippines in the first-ever Shell Eco-Marathon Asia.

Who could join?

• Anyone who has a valid driver’s license is eligible to join.

What to do?

• Shoot a video, showing how your driving techniques minimize your fuel consumption and end it by completing the phrase “Ang Pinoy na matipid sa gasolina, _____.”
• Log on to www.topgear.com.ph/shellsmartestdrivers and upload your fuel saving video. Submission of entries is from May 20, 2010 to June 20, 2010.

What’s in it for me?

• Everyone who joins gets a premium item from Shell.
• Ten Finalist will be awarded with fuel vouchers from Shell worth Php 10,000 and will be invited to a fuel economy boot camp on June 26, 2010. They will go through driving challenge and two drivers who are most fuel efficient will be the Philippines’ Smartest Drivers.
• They will join the Team Philippines from University of Santo Tomas, Mapua Institute of Technology and Don Bosco Technological College in the first ever Shell Eco-Marathon Asia in Malaysia.
• Have a chance to win a fuel efficient car.

For almost ten years of being a driver, here are a few of my Fuel saving tips:

• Turn off car air-condition when not necessarily needed.
• Remove extra items in your car. More weight means more fuels burn.
• Drive slowly.
• Check tire pressure.

Now, we know the answer to “Who the Better Drivers are,” but will it be different from “Who the Smartest Drivers are?”

The second day, I was accompanied by my cousin.

Cebu Blog Camp started with a game which gave us the chance to interact with other attendees. If you ask me, it was such a great idea because mostly participants would be shy to interact with each other if not forced to.

Talks went on, and I learned a lot.

Shook hands with a few of my online friends

Another free event that satisfied my brain. Now, zombies would want it.

Oh, I have won a Patay Gutom keychain for using #cebublogcamp on my plurks/twits.
