Hailed most beautiful of the paradise philippines. 
Isn’t it fab? Haha. What? You don’t believe me? Try this:

1 Go to google.com
2 Key in the phrase “hailed most beautiful”
3 Then press/click the “I’m Feeling Lucky” or “Sinusuwerte ako” button.
4 And voila! It will lead you directly here in my site.

But it’s not that I’m officially beautiful. It’s only because of this entry, where I blog something about Gretchen Barreto and the ad phrase from the Pantene TV commercial. That is why I am currently ranking number 1 in Google using the said phrase. I was looking at my stats awhile ago and found out that it’s one of the top search keywords. Hah, maybe some horny guys are looking for the most beautiful women.

Whenever I’m bored that I can no longer think of what to do with the internet, I do googling. Searching people, background checking, and trying crazy silly keywords. I, sometimes google myself (Ek, that doesn’t sound right). I mean by using my name or anything that is associated with me just to check it’s rank. New Maria is also currently No. 5 for the keyword “filipina designers” and No.10 for “filipina bloggers”. Great, great!

Hookay, enough of SEO stuff. Let’s check what’s on the design side. I was featured as one of the sample sites that uses the color purple at Design Meltdown. Yay! It’s a resource site which features trends, design elements & techniques. Check the article here. If you want to know more about design styles, Design Meltdown has it. Learn what’s retro, minimal, distress, ornate and whatnot. Go figure.
