I’ve been making lots of sites already for my friends. Still some are asking me if blogging is a legitimate job, where to apply, how to get the salary, how to start a blog/articles, etc. I tried to give them sites on where they can read the FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions - so that they can understand on the what to do and the process of blogging and paid blogging. Sigh! Also, with the point of giving them a blog site so that they could easily start their own blogs and write some articles and after one month, two months or three months, they can join paid blogging, isn’t it hard to understand? Sigh! It’s like I’m saying a rosary that keeps on repeating and yet they are still asking on what to do. The worst is others won’t believe that they will earn in blogging. Supposedly it’s advantage for them since they are living in Asia. They are spending pesos but earning dollars when they will believe that they will earn in blogging. Sigh!

Well, in my case, nobody taught me about making my sites. And it’s one year already that I’m into this blogging thing after hearing my friend that she’s earning in blogging while staying at home and taking care of her baby. Upon knowing it, I am shy in asking her how to make a blog, how to start a thing, what is html codes, etc. Instead, I’m just praying VERY hard that I’ll be guided in making my sites and somehow share it to my friends who wants to earn also while staying at home.

Anyway, this friend of mine is now earning more than 10k in just one site and she also joined paid blogging in other paid blogging companies. It’s like she’s earning 3k+ per month. In fact, according to one of our friends here in CO, she’s been supporting her family in the Philippines at least $300-500 per week. Whew! That’s big sister! Well, aside from supporting her mother, she’s also supporting her siblings in their schools most especially those who are studying nursing courses and that’s a bit expensive tuition fees, books and everything. With that, I salute her for being so kind to her family while doing her best to earn in blogging by WRITING SOME ARTICLES for certain products and services and get paid.

She’s my mentor in blogging and I’m so thankful that she mentioned it to me like August of last year, though I figured out how to make my sites by October 2007. Anyway, I first started my blog with bravejournal.com that time but it is so hard to understand and I transferred with blogger.com. And I find blogger.com and the html code as easy to understand (thanks God) and now I am learning more. Then, I go back to bravejournal.com and created my two sites there (I also created bravejournal.com blog sites for my relatives and friends). But all in all, most of my sites are blogger.com until I know how to host my sites with my own hosting account using WORDPRESS Platform. I’m also sharing my hosting with my friends and hosted their sites for free though others will share their blessings to me. With regards to this site, I hosted this one with my other hosting account courtesy of my husband and of course blogger.com platform since earlier this year I don’t have knowledge yet about WP platform. Also, I’m using FTP in publishing this site of mine to my server. Hmmm!

What else! Oh, there is one thing I am going to know - Paying taxes since blogging is a legitimate job. It’s like a freelance writer. And it says that if income in one paid blogging company is $600 or more, a blogger needs to pay her/his taxes. So I need to inquire from one of my friends here how to file taxes since she and my mentor is living closer. In my case right now, I’m earning quite a bit and I saved something for my taxes for I don’t want to be a burden with my husband when it comes to filing my tax.

Well, so much for this blogging, paid blogging sites, and taxes things! I’ve got lots of things to do, so see you later. Chow!

I don’t know why every time I will plan to give a free domain for one year and a free hosting for lifetime with this friend of mine, it will never push through. There are many complications behind everything. In fact I shared with my two good friends that when everything will be okay with what I’m doing recently, I will give out free domains with free hosting. But there are lots of unexpected things so I guess free domains will just be given when things will be okay. Hopefully!

I want my close friends to guess the content of the cartoon that hubby gave me as his advance birthday gift for me. And there’s one who guess it right. My friend Lady Norms got the correct answer and she has her domain now with one year free registration and a lifetime free hosting if I’m still alive. Gee! To those who didn’t guess it right, maybe I’ll have something for you. Just give a little prayer for me so that my plans will push through. Anyway, to know the color of this thing, just visit me here and you can see what’s inside in this cartoon.

I’m inspired while listening to my favorite Enya CD. I learned to love this kind of music through my friend Jona and Edmund way back in the Philippines. They owned several CDs of Enya and I love it for the melody is very nice. Since then, I tried to have my own collection. And before flying here, I see to it that I own at least one. Gee! Just one! Well, I’m planning to buy another Enya CDs once I will be having my own CD/DVD cassette player. For now, I’m just using my computer in playing it with me using my headset for a private listening. Gee!

As I’m helping my other friend with hosting her new blog, I’m also downloading new theme on my site. And gosh, I love it right now! It’s simple and pretty. It’s not boring and it’s not also a Christmas tree. Gee! I know I’ll be using it for long. I’ll just have to customize the font-family and change it to my favorite fonts. Smiles! Do you want to know what site is that? Well, just browse my sites! Toink!

Well, I’m talking to my friend last night and she’s so concerned with her sister. Her sister is the one that’s working while the husband is just at home for the guy doesn’t want to work a job that will pay him low salary or a job that will give him heavy loads. Now, what’s your thought about that? You will not be angry for that attitude? If you are the guy, would you be concern with your hourly pay or you will be concern with doing your duties and responsibilities for your family? Actually, salary is not the big deal but it’s the effort of making the good deeds to show that you care for your family, like working hard even if the job will just give enough. Oh well, it’s their life! But, the guy is not that bad though for he is the one who will do the house chores though sometimes he will complain. When it’s compared to the work of his wife as a nurse, I guess working as a nurse is more difficult than doing the house chores. Sigh! I just can’t figure out that there are husbands who have mentality like this! I’m hoping all men are responsible enough to take care of their family ( I know most men are responsible, Gee)!

Guess what? I’ve got a rosary today! Whey hubby handed a mail I'm so happy for I know it’s from my dearest friend. It’s made of Bohemian white crystals. And I like it so much. It’s so pretty. Now, who give it to me? It’s from my friend Hyde from Canada. And I thank her so much for sparing her time in sending this precious thing to me. On her card that’s together with this rosary, she said it’s a Mother’s Day present. Thanks so much Hyde! I’m so grateful to receive it. And oh this is blessed (by a priest) also. A million thanks to you my friend. You are always included in my prayers. I’ll keep this for the rest of my life.

I was talking to my mama last night and I’m sad that she’s still not feeling well. So I send a little thing for her so that she can visit the doctor and ask for some recommendation so that she can have her blood sugar and urinalysis tested. This is to make sure if she has some complications for anything before taking any medications. But I was blank at first and I don’t know what to do. I’m just thankful that my friend Hyde replied to my message and she suggested that those things should be done. She knew it for it’s the case of her parents. Hyde is such a blessing to me. Thanks friend. Anyway, I’m just hoping my mama is fine and will be healed with what she’s feeling soonest.
