I don't think I have any more time to be able to keep updating my journal here, plus it is what had me suspended because the PPP site didn't come up as stated by the advertiser and I didn't meet the word count, etc, and where I received most of my bans...LOL. Anyway, I might leave this journal inactive since I am too busy. I like to do my blogging all in one place, so I don't have to keep going back and forth with logging in. I am contented enough making dough through bloggers. Okay, this is all for now.

I just remembered to check my tasks and due payment on my post and saw that it has been cancelled. That is unfair, and if I see another cancelled payment I will definitely file a complaint. It is no good, I hassled with writing a long post wasting my time then I don't get paid for it. That is one of the downsides about Blogsvertise because the way they have their system check if the post is still active sometimes can't be relied upon. So in the process, they withhold the payment and the blogger is never paid like me who has at least 3 posts in which the payments are on hold, but there is no way that I will be paid because if I do, I would have been paid a long time ago since it was from last year. It's a rip-off and something I don't like about Blogsvertise at all. So I am not sure if I can keep up with taking anymore tasks there since I am only getting rip-off. I would discourage people from joining since they will only waste their time...LOL. Blogging through Blogsvertise is an "Enter at your own risk" because you are taking chances.

 When it comes to the technology and people's ability to figure things out, don't we always hear about something new each time we turn around? I like it as I find it interesting to know about new products and services being available to the public. Just like on the computer, there are so many things to do anymore, and it is only a matter of what's your area of interests. By the way, I found a new way for everyone to be able to find and subscribe to podcasts of user generated contents that are loaded with all kinds of information about online marketing, search, etc. So see about what people are talking about in the White box world because that is where  investment professionals, industry thought leaders, and many more online experts gather-round to have rich and insightful conversations. Learn about what is the latest trend in the fields of online marketing and search that shapes the way people use the internet today. What interest web users in general? Let the professionals that knows share their insights and expertise. But, of course if you know anything in the matter, surely, you can join the conversation. So there you have it, find the conversations with mixed and rich contents given by the pros that you can relate to.

My siblings are finally off school for the Summer. That is nice, and currently I am working on helping them with getting a blog for each of them, so they can, too, make some money online. It is always easier when they have a sister that knows how and can help them. I am helping with setting them up, getting their domains and reviewing their blogs to see if they are ready to join us with earning real money. Anyway, one of them that I think will be eligible to apply, work online is my sister Nemia. She has been blogging for months now, and since she is off school, then she can blog. I bought a domain for her and her blog will be at: www.4seasonedlife.com Come and ex-links with her peeps!

I have been sleep deprived off and on and I have no idea why. Perhaps it is the inactivity that is keeping me awake. What I mean is that I don't exercise and so I am not always tired. Anyway, I came across a website about a talk show where people like me suffering from insomnia can ask questions regarding insomnia, what's causing it and how to treat it. In fact that is not all; those that have loved ones suffering from mental illness can also ask questions about how to get help. So for those of you out there, this is Your Mental Health Radio Talk Show where you can find answers to questions you might have. My family has that kind of problem, because I have an uncle who is mentally ill. Someone has to look after him; otherwise he wanders off somewhere and who knows what he can do if left unsupervised. It is not easy having a loved one that has a mental problem, your whole life is affected and it can even get you depressed. You usually get depressed and will have thoughts of suicide. I know people that are like that even when they are not mentally ill, they think like it is the end of the world. Well, now if you have some important questions to ask, you be sure to visit this Mental Health Talk Radio Home Page. You will be able to talk to the professionals; Doctors that knows why and how to treat any mental condition including insomnia.

I have been thinking about giving away my scrapbook kits-the ones I created as some people might like to have them. So today, I might get a blog and domain and start putting them up for free downloads. I think it will be fun to have a giveaway on my blog and where I can share my layouts each special event/occasion that happens in our life here. Anyway, so far it is just a thought; I might make happen as soon as I can think up of a good domain name. Okay, this is all for now. Kind regards everyone!

My family and I live on a fixed income and so we sometimes run short on budget before payday. We don't like it because we have to cut back on food and shopping when that happens, but what can we do if there is no way for us to get extra money when we need it. However, having a computer is very helpful because we get to find websites that can help with lending us the money we need in case we run out of money before payday which is what happens some of the time. So how nice that there are these Payday Loans available for people like us that needs cash for emergency instances. Waiting for payday is a long wait, so people would need some extra money to supplement their expenses. A good thing a direct deposit is possible, so that is instant cash advance online.

...my parents beat on each other first...LOL. But really, they want to call it quit, but when they submitted their decree of agreement of annulment of marriage it wasn't accepted. They took it to some lawyers so far, and they all said it is not permitted for them to annul their marriage because their reasons are not enough. One must be beat up first...LOL, literally. So apparently my mother will have to have a black-eye before a divorce is granted to them, and that is only in the Philippines I guess, because in America you can divorce for almost any reason that two people can't get along and that is called "irreconcilable differences". That is sad, what kind of a Policy is that? I can't understand because why does my mother or father have to be hurt just so they can divorce? That is silly, I think. Someone has to be brutally hurt before a divorce is granted. It is okay if when violence occur, it will only go as far beating-getting a black-eye, but what if the spouse retaliate while it is done, then it becomes a homicide murder, because it could result in death. If that happens, for sure, a divorce will be granted, but then there is no need because what for then. Anyway, my parents are no pleased at all that, that is how it works in the Philippines. My father would like to consider working it out with my mother, but my mother has had enough, so she wants to go through with it somehow, otherwise, they can still go on their separate ways. So each of them might have to find a partner since they can't divorce...LOL, so as long as neither of them won't get married; it will be bigamy if they do. Oh, boy, aren't they in a jam.

Two oysters walk into a bar and said, "can we have some lemons, please?" Oh, that is just a joke...LOL. But really, when you eat oysters, you would need lemons, because lemons somewhat make them taste better. I think they kill off some bacteria in the oysters, or lightly cook them anyway. Anyway, I am proud to say that I can eat raw oysters. My stomach can handle it. I would only rekcon to eat oysters again if they are very fresh though, as the last time I tried to eat them raw, they tasted funny, I was out in the buffet restaurant. Eating raw oysters can be dangerous especially if you have a liver disease, diabetes, and ay other illness. See, I found that out by visiting a website that has very helpful information about Gulf oysters and the dangerous bacteria that they may contain due to populated and dirty water where they were harvested. Now, if you are someone who is thinking about eating raw oysters, you should visit the site first for safe oyster consumption and health safety.

It is Fieasta again in our village, back home, and well, eveybody usually go all out with shopping. When it's fiesta, a lot of people comes to our village to sell second hand clothes, brand new clothes, household items, etc. We have a flea market going when it fiesta time. It is so much fun because we also get to play carnival games, and ride a ferris wheel and all the rides available. It is like we have a rodeo or country fair over there. Anyway, I made sure my people will have some money to spend extra by sending each of them a few dollars. I always try to send all my relatives money during the holidays and special events such as the fiesta. I want them to have extra money to buy little things for the children, because I know how hard it is at home. I've been there, so I know. So when time is good with us here, I set some extra money aside just for my family and relatives back home. It makes me glad to see them have a smile on their faces, and to be able to help the less fortunate to say they don't have a lot compare to a lot of people especially here in the Western world. It also makes me feel good to share the good things that come to my way.

I visited facebook and found out that there is a video game giveaway. The 2K Sports, makers of MLB 2K8 recently launched a 2K Sports Hit-N-Run Tour Page on Facebook as a promotion in which video games fanatic can get free copies of the newest video game MLB 2K8. It would be nice, so if you are interested, be sure to see about it and visit facebook. You just get a facebook account; sign up and you can join in the fun! It is that easy and simple. There is nothing to it, just keep visiting 2K Sports facebook page. It is a music + sports video gaming tour invading college campuses across the U.S. through March 1 - April 5, 2008. Go find out more!

It's almost Spring again. Oh, I am so glad of that because our daughter will be off school for almost two weeks. So wow, I like that. As for my siblings that are still in school, well, they will be off school in the following months. It is Summer break for them, as it will be school closing in the Phines. A good thing because I won't really have the money to keep sending them, I have got to save some money for my failing health. I can die if I keep worrying about them, and my father needs to get a hold of himself not to owe so much money and I end up paying off his debt. It gives me a headache because I am the only one he can run to. Nobody else want to help him out without any hassle...LOL. It is a sad life for my father, I would say. And I think my parents marriage is coming to an end since they have just been having to much trouble. I hope it's for the better because all I want for them is to live in peace and harmony without hassling each other. That is it, I guess I am tired of hearing them constantly quarelling. I have enough of my own trouble to deal with. Okay, this is all for now.

It's almost the Easter time again, and that means there will be sale again. I am hoping to get a laptop since I will be outside most of the time when the weather is warm enough. Now perhaps I can get a Dell Laptop because I found some Dell Coupons online which will save me money. We also need a new video camera, and there are Best Buy Coupons for us to see about as well. We always find good deals online, and that is how we bought our new computer. Anyway, since it will be Easter soon, our children will have a good time with Easter egg hunting, for sure. We usually buy them candies. A good thing I found Coupon Chief where I can find lots of coupon codes to save money when I shop online. If I buy Easter dresses, the coupons would definitely help me.

I received a story on my e-mail some time ago, and I also want to share it with others here, for it is inspirational and definitely something to think about. It makes me think about living life doing what my heart's desire (yes, if I can do what I like to do, I am happy) and not just regular routines. I like to try new things when possible and this story says it all. I used to be skeptical and wouldn't eat the food I am not accustomed to eating, so I hardly eat anything other than Philippine food for a while when I first got here in the U.S.A, but as time passed, I realized that I should be more open-minded and be willing to try new things that comes my way, because I may never have any other chance if I wait around. I then started eating more and more and eventually I am loving the new food I get to try. So, the story just reminded me that life is too short to not explore what this world has to offer. I just wish I have the money to be able to do a lot more in my life. Well, anyway, since I don't I can simply make the best of what comes my way and have. At least live life the best way I can and be happy and contented because that is the key to happiness. Alright, the story is below. Enjoy!

One day I had a date for lunch with friends. Mae, a little old "blue
hair" about 80 years old, came along with them---All in all, a pleasant
bunch. When the menus were presented, we ordered salads, sandwiches, and
soups, except for Mae who said, "Ice Cream, please. Two scoops,
chocolate."

I wasn't sure my ears heard right, and the others were aghast. "Along
with heated apple pie," Mae added, completely unabashed. We tried to act
quite nonchalant, as if people did this all the time. But when our
orders were brought out, I didn't enjoy mine.. I couldn't take my eyes
off Mae as her pie a-la-mode went down. The other ladies showed dismay.
They ate their lunches silently and frowned.

The next time I went out to eat, I called and invited Mae. I lunched on
white meat tuna. She ordered a parfait. I smiled. She asked if she
amused me. I answered, "Yes, you do, but also you confuse me. How come
you order rich desserts, while I feel I must be sensible?

She laughed and said, with wanton mirth, "I'm tasting all that's
Possible. I try to eat the food I need, and do the things I should. But
life's so short, my friend, I hate missing out on something good. This
year I realized how old I was. (She grinned) I haven't been this old
before."

"So, before I die, I've got to try those things that for years I had
ignored. I haven't smelled all the flowers yet. There are too many books
I haven't read. There's more fudge sundaes to wolf down and kites to be
flown overhead. There are many malls I haven't shopped. I've not laughed
at all the jokes. I've missed a lot of Broadway hits and potato chips
and cokes.

I want to wade again in water and feel ocean spray on my face. I want to
sit in a country church once more and thank God for His grace . I want
peanut butter every day spread on my morning toast. I want UN-timed long
distance calls to the folks I love the most. I haven't cried at all the
movies yet, or walked in the morning rain. I need to feel wind in my
hair. I want to fall in love again. So, if I choose to have dessert,
instead of having dinner, then should I die before night fall, I'd say I
died a winner, because I missed out on nothing. I filled my heart's
desire. I had that final chocolate mousse before my life expired."

With that, I called the waitress over.. "I've changed my mind," I said.
"I want what she is having, only add some more whipped cream!" 


Be mindful that happiness isn't based on possessions, power, or
prestige, but on relationships with people we love and respect.
