I found this look in my flickr. I think, I just have to put it here. 
Hype on Lookbook.nu please!
Jumpsuits are one of the most fantastic creations of fashion. The only thing I don’t like about wearing one is the fact that you should remove everything in order to pee. T_T
Jumpsuit created and designed by my ultra mega super mother; sequinned Hijab from Saudi Arabia
Peep toe heels from Menchie
Then, when I went to school, I used my Grendha flats instead. The jumpsuit alone will lead staring eyes at me. How much more if I wore the peep-toe heels?
PS: Thank you to all the people who showed their concern for my previous post about the burglars. I do hope they won’t come back anymore.

No. I am not talking of ghosts. I am talking of FREAKING THIEVES!!!!
Last night, I was chatting with them beautiful blogging ladies, Rhea, Angela, Mary, Sandra, and Donna. As I was about to shut down the laptop, I heard some noise in our CR. I didn’t put any attention to it as I was busy. Then, I heard another sound. This time, it seems like it is a hammering and removing nail sound. I was terrified. I did not want to wake my mom up. I don’t want her to freak out. I texted my college best best friend, Kylie because I did not know what to do.
I immediately went to the CR door with scissors in hand. I was a bit reluctant to open. Then came another sound, my mom woke up. She opened the CR door. The noise stopped. We got a mop and made some noise on the CR ceiling. There was no sound for a moment or two. After about 2 minutes, a crawling sound was heard. It’s like the sound of a denim cloth on a plywood, like someone is crawling to get away.
When I woke up the next day, a tiny portion of the ceiling is open.
It was really frustrating. I know, MANY HAVE LOST MATERIAL THINGS DUE TO SENDONG. But why resort to stealing? You may not know it but we are struggling as well. My mom has cancer. We don’t know where to get money for the coming months. I am working my ass off just to get a good living. I am saving up for my future. Dang those who do not work hard for their living. You can’t just go on frightening people.
Now, I am more paranoid to noises. I hear everything. I am alert. I do hope and pray that those people be guided. Let them be enlightened. InshaAllah. Amin! Let them not disturb lives. Let them not destroy lives. Let them not steal. Let them live accordingly.
Please help me pray for our safety. It will be of much help.

I get all excited whenever there is a new follower of my blog. However, as Google announced last year, they will be closing some of the services. That includes Google Friend Connect for non-Blogger.com users. As you all know, my blog is tooled by WordPress blogging system.
By March or April, the services will be closed down by Google. It really has a big impact on me and my blogging. This is why I stopped promoting my GFC since last year. Reaching thousands of followers is easy if you only have the drive to do so. However, with the decision of Google, I lost hope.
That’s why, I am kind of asking you to FOLLOW VIA NETWORKEDBLOGS or BLOGLOVIN. Though I am praying that Google may decide to further go on with GFC, I cannot avoid the fact that it will be closing down. Just imagine losing all of your 251 followers (I have 3 private followers) in a snap? G. I hope Google will realize the effort and time a blogger have gone through upon reaching so much followers.
It may not put so much weight on me because I have few followers. However, think about Camille Co’s and other bloggers’ followers? What would happen to them when Google discontinues the service? I wonder how would they react to this. For some of us, it may be a small thing. But for Bloggers, IT IS A BIG THING!!!
I hope and pray that Google will not discontinue the service for non-Blogger.com users. After all, we love Google. That’s why we are using the service. And mind you, starting over again with Google Pages will put all of our past efforts and time to waste. T_T A lot of bloggers will agree to this. I know.

Warning! This post will be wordy. Get ready to read!!!
Back then, I though blogging was just some hobby. I never actually thought that I could make a living out of it. Thanks to those bloggers who influenced me a lot on earning with my blog, I have come to realize that my blog’s worth is more than anything in this world. Not that I am using it to earn money, it is also one of the outlets of my feelings, and emotions. With this blog, I earned a lot of things: money, friends, and experiences.
The Beginning
Back in 2008 when I was just starting with my previous blog, never have I thought of gaining a lot of views. It was just some sort of online diary. Then, I began following blogs of Muslim sisters such as Stephanie, Hana, Shea, and Dian. They all have tons of followers. I was wondering if I would ever reach fifty that time.
I was a noob. And I did not know about link exchanges. That ignorance was battled when I found Rhea‘s blog. She was always eager to comment on blogs, look for link exchanges, and do all other sorts of things related to SEO. I did not even know what SEO was. hahah. I followed her blog religiously. That was lilPrinsesa that time, I think. From then on, I began to comment on blogs, leave messages on tagboards for link exchanges, and so on. That’s the time I met Cei. She was still blogging at finkalicious that time and was having a giveaway of .info domain. I joined. When I submitted all the entries for that blog giveaway, I have in the back of my mind that I will win. I also have a firm decision to get lilpink.info if I win. And yes, I won second price. I got myself lilpink.info and a 20gb hosting on February 14, 2010. I was ecstatic.
My first ever theme
The Dilemma
I was still a noob. When I started using wordpress, I felt like I was the dumbest kid in town. Heck! With Blogger, I created my own themes. But with wordpress? I had to resort to premade themes. I studied the themes religiously until I grasped the essence of PHP. I was unfathomably happy. Tamara was my saviour. You bet! Even though my first theme was flop, I was happy. Hey, it was my first time to create a theme for a wordpress blog. I had to learn everything – from photoshop to codes. I used to change themes every month but I grew out of that. I love the current theme and I am planning to keep it until I don’t know when.
The Blessings
I kept my three-month earnings from my blog in 2010. That was the time I was able to buy my Kindle. I was happy to buy something out of my own money. I kept another four-month earnings. Then, I was able to buy a new camera in January 2011. Man! 2010 was my year indeed. I won in several giveaways back then. I wish I had that luck this year.
In 2011, I earned monthly income ranging from $40-$120. I did not even imagine that I could earn that much from blogging. Actually, there was a month that I did not earn. Not even a dime. It was the last month of the year, December 2011. I thought to myself, maybe my blog is not that lively anymore. Then, this month came. It was pure blessing. I never earned so much in 2 days. NOT UNTIL LAST WEEK. Man. My two-month earnings in 2011 was my 2-day earnings this year. Then, came the sponsorships as well. 2012 is awesome already. I hope it continues to be.
The Outcome
Never in my wildest dreams have I thought that I will have the current blog statistics. My three blogs, this one, Hey Miss!, and Hijabified, have at least a hundred followers. My facebook fanpage reached 500 (with the help of other people in advertising. haha) likes. My Youtube account reached 3000 (with the help of other people who advertised -again. haha). One of my videos in Youtube reached 11,794 views. I had no idea how it reached that much. I did not even spent time on advertising it. Not until it hit 10,000 views. I began sharing it because the stat was awesome. I had to let everyone know that I had an awesome video on youtube that hit 10,000 views. lol! My twitter grown so much. Ok. I used some sort of free followers back then. I stopped now. :P It is getting into my nerves until now. It keeps on letting my twitter account follow people who tweets nothing but #teamfollow. I sucked badly at that one. T_T Lesson learned. Do not use free services. They have perks. Don’t get mad at me for using such service. Even Lady Gaga herself used the paid service. Haha.
The Future
Each day, I meet new people. I enjoy a lot talking to them. Some of the bloggers are my friends. I have even come up with a list of online bestfriends. Lol! I love them very much. And I love blogging so much. I wonder how would my future in blogging be like?
That was my blogging life. InshaAllah, there will be more great stories to tell, more looks to share, more love to give. I hope you stand by me through the years to come. And we will be awesome like that! Who knows.
To end the post, here’s a photo. LoL!
