I found something good in SocialSpark

Getting my DSL certainly opened a lot of opportunities for me. I used to just check my email and chat with my friends online but other than that, I wasn’t too keen on surfing because I was using a dial-up connection. Now, that I have DSL, I have found a lot of websites that are not only interesting but can help you monetize your blog as well. One of those websites is SocialSpark.

What is Socialspark? SocialSpark is an online community of bloggers that write about what they love and get paid for doing it. Isn’t that a great opportunity? At the same time, you also make new friends who help drive traffic through your site.

How does it work? It’s pretty simple, really. The website is very distinct and organized. All that you need to know is just a click away, from adding friends, taking opportunities (the topics that you need to write about) and even contacting their support team, “Customer Love”. The first thing that you need to do is submit your blog for evaluation and when you get approved (they respond pretty quickly!) you’re now eligible to browse through the available opportunities and take what you feel is right for you. You follow the requirements for the post, like number of words, links that need to be within the post and then you submit it for verification. It’s really a no-brainer, the requirements are pretty clear and you can even filter the opportunities that you’re qualified for so you don’t waste time writing about it and then later on finding out that you’re not eligible for it. So, that in itself makes a huge difference.

Here's what they offer:
-100% Audit-able In-Post Disclosure
-100% Transparency
-100% Real Opinions
-100% Search Engine Friendly

After your post is approved, you’ll see that your payment is reflected in your blogger account.

Sounds easy, doesn’t it? I’m enjoying my time so far! Thank you SocialSpark!!

I got an article published!!

You guys know I've been writing articles for the Net for the past few years (has it been that long???) but most of it I don't get credit for as they're used for website content. Call it ghost-writing if you will..

Well last April, I was asked to write for a cancer magazine called "The Big C". Well, the article is out and published, both as a teaser on their website at www.thebigcmagazine.com, here's the link, with the complete version in the actual magazine which you'll have to buy at your favorite newsstands! :)

I guess this makes me a legit writer now, huh? hahahhaa

I was just glad I was able to do this because I learned a lot about cancer. The article is entitled, "Finding the right words to say to the cancer patient" and I felt honored to have been able to interview some cancer survivors for this piece.

Lan, I'll send you a copy! hahaha

Out of the house at last!

Yesterday, Saturday, we were finally able to get out of the house for a trip to the mall.. It's been while since we went out for fun because we've been out of funds hahahaha and going to the mall is not part of the budget LOL

Well, the kids and I were so excited even though we're just going window shopping but at least it gets us out of the house hehehehe

So we went to SM Mall of Asia!! We had lunch at a Japanese restaurant.. we hadn't eatern there before so that was an adventure.. but they cooked the food real well!! Yummy! Oishi!!! and the California Maki was so fresh!! we loved it!!


We also bought a mouse for the PC and hope that this one lasts.. the last one we bought, it didn't even last a week! and to think it was a bit expensive and branded

We also went to the Promenade along the Manila Bay...there was a small playground for kids and a water fountain and that's where the fireworks show happens every Friday and Saturday.. It was a blast!

We also did some grocery shopping and went home at around 8:30PM haha boy, were we all tired out.. my feet were aching from all that walking.. hahahah I'm getting old!!!
