Well shouldn’t complain, good enough to have it now.

For Your Information I installed AdSense Manager plugin to manage my AdSense. This plugin not only allows you manage your AdSense, but also AdBrite, AdGridWork, Adpinion, AdRoll, Commission Junction, HTML Code, CrispAds, ShoppingAds, Yahoo! PN and WidgetBucks.

Check it out!

Hope to monetize something from it. ;)

My Logo

I’m sure some of you may have noticed a logo on top of this page and as browser icon. Here I will briefly explain my rationale behind this logo. Before that, I’m quite pleased with the outcome even though it’s clearly very simple, given that I don’t have the skill to create a better one with an image editor out there, such as Adobe Photoshop.

Adobe Photoshop is a commercial product and not my preference as this won’t be my frequent tool, so I look around for a free and good enough image editor, simply because I wish to have my own logo displayed on my blog. So I found one called GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program). Unlike the pre-installed Microsoft Paint, GIMP has some cool features and useful filtering tools, almost similar to the commercial Adobe Photoshop.

Anyway, the logo mainly represents my personal attributes.

Shape

Circle represents my character as a perfectionist who consistently tries to evolve with life by learning to adapt with the ever-changing circumstances.

Color

Blue represents my cautious approach with my decision and to deal with difficult situation calmly.
White was chosen from the Alba font which was used to draw my initial (JLo) in the circle. “Alba” comes from the Latin “albus” meaning white. White colour is said to represent degree of excellence.

She is one of the contestants for a TV show “Britains Got Talent” in 2009 who made the judges completely surprised by her outstanding performance. First she showed up just like an ordinary grandma who people thought just wanted to give a nothing-to-lose shot as Simon did showcase by his expression in the clip.

Now I feel like keeping her performance preview on my blog so I can continuously watch her as an inspiration. I guess I’ve become one of her fans now as many of you may have. Here’s the link to her video on YouTube.

More, I just received a link from a collegue of her recording on a song “Cry Me a River” by Diana Drall from a 1999 recording which she did for a charity album. Her voice is astounding. Check it out!
