AT LAST!

Finally! I started my blogging with the intent to make money online. I waited patiently for a few weeks until my blog is old enough to meet the minimum requirements. I applied for PayPerPost two weeks ago and anxiously waited for their reply. I heard from some fellow bloggers that they usually reply in a matter of days, while some others say that it takes weeks. There were even some people who had to re-apply several times. I was losing hope when I got an email yesterday that my blog was finally approved. I was ecstatic because I braced myself for a declination of my blog and I was trying to get ready to re-apply but fortunately, I got approved. And now as I write this, I'm on my way to getting my $20! Isn't that amazing! I get paid for something that I love to be doing, and that is blogging. That means that I have extra money to spend exploring places I've never been to, so I have more things to share here in my blog. PayPerPost by the way is a site that pays you to blog. It's site for blog advertising

I am so grateful for the few people who really encouraged me to pursue this endeavor. Edcel was really very consistent in reminding to apply and how to go about doing it, I met a few frustrations along the way, but there were a lot of you guys who really kept me going. I am very thankful for the encouragements of friends. I am also very thankful to those people who are faithful in viewing my site on a regular basis. And of course, I am very grateful to PayPerPost for approving my blog immediately. Way to go, PayPerPost! You rock!

Weekend Domestication

Our weekends are usually spent malling or going somewhere else, like the beach or the pool, or eating out to somewhere we haven't been to. Especially this summer, we carefully lined up our activities to make this year's summer a memorable one for my husband and me.

For this weekend, we decided to re-do the room. We purchased the promised TV and DVD player for the kids, and then we got ourselves a new computer table. We removed the old desk that Aldrich put in the room that served as his working table, and the computer table at the same time. We re-aranged the bed in a way that the previously two beds who were connected together are now set-apart, which means that the kids had to sleep on the other side of the room, apart from us. Aldrich thought that it will be best to train them as early as now to sleep independently. We placed the TV rack and the new computer table, and I was surprised at how neat and cozy the room looks now. My hubby added the finishing touches...more framed pictures on the wall.

I now look forward to going home everynight, with my new TV and new workstation. That's an add-on of course to the cuddles, kisses and shrieks of my two little darlings and the warm hugs of my husband.

To Go or Not To Go

I dedicate this blog to a dear friend of mine who is at a crossroad. To go or not to go. I may not totally understand the whole story, nor do I know the would-be consequences of going, but this I know...You are never the type of person who wants to look back and wonder what could have been. If I know you right, you live life to the fullest, with passion, without fear of what tomorrow may bring. If you know in your heart that you really want to go, if you are sure that you will have a fabulous time by going, then by all means go. There's no guarantee that the thing you fear is gonna happen, and if does, it shouldn't make feel less a person, if anything, it should make you more of the person you really are - bold, courageous, passionate.

Rantings....

Monday is once again declared as a holiday! It's so nice to think that I will be having another long weekend. I haven't had anything planned for the weekend yet except to stay at home and spend more time with the kids.

I wanted to do something out of the ordinary for the weekend. Like, go to some animal farm or some park with a mini zoo so the kids could see some live animals. I want them to experience a diversity of things while growing up, things that I have not experienced, having lived an urban lifestyle all my life. I don't know what difference it will bring them, but I guess it would help encrich them as a person.

Another thing that has been bothering me lately is whether to send Borjie to school this year or not. He was very insistent last year to go to school, but the interest has waned now. We didn't send him to school last year because he wasn't even two years old then when he asked us, but now that he's turning 3, we're seriously considering in enrolling him to a pre-school. I asked him several times if he already wants to go to school, but it looks like he's more interested now in watching DVDs than socializing. My hubby and I thought that he maybe too young to go to school. We are trying to inquire around some suitable pre-schools in case he shows interest by May or June so at least we could be ready, but for now, I guess we'll just buy him with a TV set and his own DVD player so he can watch educational kiddie shows, without messing on his dad's PC.

Ho-hum... I'm done for the day. I only did six evaluations. I have established a game plan, sort of a schedule of the agents I will evaluating, and doing extra evaluations today would ruin my game plan, so I'm sticking with my six for now. I'm not seeing any reason anyway why we couldn't meet our target, even at the pace we're going.

Well, maybe I guess I would have to sign off for the week. If you guys could notice that I am not as faithful in updating my site as I used to, it could be some to frustrations, and a lot of confusions that has been bugging me lately. Well, i'll tell you about it once I've cleared my mind, or when I can make any sense at all.

Cory Aquino

My beloved country's ex-president is sick with colon cancer. Her family is pleading with the public to help pray for her recovery.

It's hard to imagine her sick. I've always imagined her to be the energetic person who is actively involved in the political arena even if her presidecy has been up. She has always been a political icon, whose words and political endorsements have so much influence on the masses. She has made the country proud by making it to the cover of Times magazine, and will always be remembered as the widow of the hero, the late Ninoy Aquino, and the woman who has toppled the dictatorship of the Marcos regimen.

Tonight, I will include her in my prayers. Hope you do the same.

Wondering

I have already submitted an application for payperpost, but as of now, I still haven't gotten any response from them. I read from other bloggers that they receive a responsse from them in as fast as 2 days, but it has almost been a week but I still haven't received anything from them.

Sometimes I wonder if I should continue this. There are times when I get discouraged especially that I have a lot to learn about web designs and widgets, and all that stuff. I seriously doubt if I can really succeed in this kind of endeavor. But anyway, let's see if we get a response from them.
