Still on Vacation Mode

Gosh Ive been so very busy these days. I'm still on vacation mode today spending my time with my mom. I always accompany her everywhere she goes. Although I always bring my laptop with me, but my mom is also using it that's why I only get the chance to check out those important messages and update some my blogs. As much as I'm trying to do my multi tasking to cope up my missed posts and some paid tasks, I find it hard to concentrate well since my mind is still set on our vacation mode. lol! 

But anyway, don't worry my dear friends specially those who are an avid reader and follower of my blogs, I promise to get back to you and visit all your blogs soon. As of now, I am spending more of my time with my family specially with my ever missed mom because we only get the chance to see each other once in every year. I want to cherish every moment and treasure our time together while she's here with us. ^_^

Make It a Part of Your Healthy Diet

For someone like who loves food but also trying to lose weight, dealing with hunger on a daily basis can be exasperating. There is nothing worse than being hungry after an half hour of meal and also knowing that there are few more hours to go before it’s time to eat again. That is why it is important that you should do the best that you can to curb hunger by feeding your body with foods that usually takes longer to process. One of the best weight loss foods is protein and increasing the amount of protein that you eat in your daily diet can be the key to your dieting success.

I recently found out that protein shakes for weight loss was proven to be one of great aid to those who are striving to shed those excess pounds. These weight loss protein shakes are based on the trick of making people feel fuller than what they would had been by consuming regular meals. So, if you always stay full, you would surely avoid eating those unhealthy food craving attacks.

Protein shakes offers a lot of multiple benefits that can help people of almost every age group. Most athletes also treat protein shakes as their healthy post workout drink, while dieters like me drinks it in order to lose weight. So, if you're like me who wants to have a healthy body while losing their weight in no time, why don't you make protein shake  a part of your healthy diet right now!

My Internet On The Go is Here!

I finally decided to subscribe to Smart Bro Plug-It Unlimited post paid last weekend because I was enticed by their P999 monthly unlimited internet offering. I also like its small and compact USB gadget size where you can just simply attach it to your laptop and viola! you can get connected to the internet immediately.

I badly need it right now because I'm gonna bring my laptop everywhere I go specially now that my mom will be coming home for her holiday. I just can't leave my blogging career. lol! I have a Globe Tattoo prepaid here but I don't want use it anymore. We already had a bad experience using this kind of prepaid internet service because its such a waste of time and money.

There's one thing that I don’t like though, its their 24 months lock-in period. If I remember correctly, their lock-period before was only set for 1 year when it was still P1,500 a month. I also know that I can only get its fast internet connection depending on the area where 3G/HSDPA signal is available. Well, I have no choice since this is the most suited internet on the go that I need right now. 

Over all, I am happy with this unit. The speed is quite decent. I am receiving 3G/HSDPA signal here in our place. I just hope that I could also get its fast speed while we were at the beach for our holiday.

A Letter from a Dear Blogger Friend

I actually received this surprise letter from my dear blogger friend Sis Dhemz just last week. It's Greg and Demcy's 2010 Newsletter where they happily share their family's memorable and unforgettable experiences. It has been their family's tradition where they usually sent out this yearly newsletter to all of their friends. And I'm so glad that I am one of the million friends of Sis Dhemz. Thanks so much Sis! I really appreciate it.

I was also surprised that that it took several months before it finally arrived here in our place. Just imagine it was sent as a Holiday greetings last December 2010 and I just received it this month. Whoa! I don't know why it took that so long. Maybe because our post office here was burned down a few weeks ago. I thanked God that this letter just came late and was not included on the fire. Thanks once again Sis Dhemz for being such a thoughtful friend. Our friendship means to much to me and I cherish it so deeply. Love you!

Sis Dhemz is one of my mommy blogger idol here in the blogosphere. She is the beautiful author behind these beautiful blogs:

Getting More Busy These Days...But I Always Put HIM first!

Yay! My life offline and online will be getting more busy these days because my mom will arrive next week for her holiday. She will be spending her 3 weeks holiday here with us. So this means that I am on a holiday too! lol! We have a lot of planned activities and we want to spend and treasure our family bonding time together since we only get the chance to see each other once in a year. My life online also gets busier specially now that I have lots of pending assignments to write from Sheriff and also with other paid opps site.

Well, what more can I say? I am always thankful to God for all the favor and overflowing blessings that He continue to shower me. No matter how busy I am in striving hard to earn money online, even offline while managing our business, and also spending my precious time for my family, but I always put HIM first.

Ive always been busy every weekend because we have our church band practice every Saturday in preparation for our Praise and Worship and Divine service the following day on Sunday. Our i-cafe is also closed during that day. So that means we have No business,No income and No blogging for me too.

We spend and focus our time with God as we listen to His word, Praise and Thank Him for His goodness and have a happy bonding time together with my family and also to our fellow church members.

God has been so faithful to us as He continue to bless us in so many ways. And as  our way of gratitude and thanking God for all the goodness that He has done in our lives, here's a live music video sang by yours truly together with my hubby as he plays  the guitar. We recorded this video a few weeks ago when we had our family bonding at the river side here in our place.

Hope you enjoy watching it. God bless everyone and Have a Blessed weekend!

Choosing The Right Niche Blog for me

I actually have 3 blogs including this one  with the same niche wherein its a combination of personal and general interest or simply what we call a mixed bag of anything and everything that interests me. I also have a food, drink and at the same time a culture blog. I have another niche blog for fashion, beauty and lifestyle. I am actually planning to add some more niche blogs for family, parenting, motherhood and kids. I also like to write about home improvements, shopping and women issues.

I still have some niche blogs in mind but I just find it hard to do it such as travel since I don't travel a lot. I also like having my own photo blog but sad to say I don't have that DSLR cameras yet. Reviewing products and sharing information such as web marketing, SEO, blogging, networking and other business related topics is not on my list of interest too.

For us bloggers, niche blogging has to be something that we love. We must have a passion for it. This blog works for me because I have a true interest about my personal life as well as I can freely write any topic that I want to share for my readers and followers. I'm also doing some research on these topics to see what other bloggers are saying and based on what I have read, I'm able to bring these topics to you  based from my own opinion.

More Blogs, More Blessings!

We all know how Payu2blog has been a good company to write for that's why many bloggers really love Sheriff and I'm also thankful that I am one of those happy payu2-blogger right now. ^_^

As of now I have 3 blogs  added in their system. The first one took me around 6 months before it was finally approved while the other 2 just took me a few days. I did not even know about the blogging guideline where a blogger can only add 1 blog a month up to the limit of 12 blogs. I was just trying perhaps, by chance  because I believe that it follows the rules and agreement in order to get approved. And surprisingly, Margie immediately approved my 2 blogs since it's kind of between February and March that's why she added both today. 

I am once again thankful to God for His great favor and overflowing blessings that He continue to shower me this year. This is indeed the Year of the Lord's favor for me specially for my blogging career. As of now I am managing 6 blogs and I am planning to add some more. God has really been so good to me...Thank You Lord!

Creative Photo Shots!

These are some of my sister in law's creative photo shots.She's just using my Kodak digital camera and I was so amazed when I saw these beautiful photos. By the way, can you read that word which was formed in letters by our young people?  and oh! the man in white who raised his hands was actually my sissy in law's hubby. It's one of my favorite shots. I just love looking at these lovely blue skies, white fluffy clouds and the beauty of green nature. Isn't that a wonderful scenery where we can appreciate the beauty of God's creation? ^_^

Happy Blue Monday everyone! 

Everyday is Valentines Day

Happy Valentines day everyone! I hope you all had a great and sweet bonding moments together with your loved ones. Well, in our case its just a normal and ordinary day. Hubby and I do not celebrate Valentines Day because everyday is a love day for us. We may not always tell how much we love, cherish and appreciate each other but we can discern it through our actions as we are bonded as one in Christ. We love each other more than words can say. For the only daughter that we have together, and the love for God in each other, it helps keep our love strong because the Lord is always there to guide and correct us from all wrong.  

"May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other 

and for everyone else"

1 Thessalonians 3:12"

Because I am Addicted in Joining Contests Online

Nothing compares to the joy and happiness that I feel specially when I found out that I won a prize out from the online contests that Ive joined. And because I am addicted in joining contests online,  I even forgot that I joined that certain contest and I did not even know that I won just like what happened to Lenovo-YugaTech Laptop Contest where I just recently found out that I am one of the Top 10 finalist who will receive a Globe Broadband Tattoo as prize.

It was already announced last 14th of January and I just found it out a week that's why I immediately emailed Sir Abe of Yugatech about my winning prize and I’m happy to know that he considered it so I was able to received my prize   delivered by LBC two days ago.  Thanks again Sir Abe of Yugatech!  ^_^

True Love Waits

Since our church was headed by a Youth Pastor, most of our church members are young people. We are thankful to God that these teenagers are actively participating in most of our church activities. One of the activities that they are currently participating with is the True Love Waits campaign. It is a youth based international campaign designed to encourage moral purity by adhering to biblical principles. It helps in developing a positive peer pressure by encouraging those who make a commitment to refrain from pre-marital sex and challenge their peers to do the same.

True Love Waits was launched to encourage cities to take a unified, community-wide approach in promoting abstinence by involving the church, schools, government, health organizations and many others. This is indeed a great campaign for Filipino youths to connect people with God and His ultimate plan for purity. Love is truly an adventure of pursuing Christ’s best!

Appreciating God's Creation

I was so amazed when I saw this photo from my sister-in-law who took this beautiful picture. That's Joshua, our young bassist from our church who posed for these picture. The location was actually just shot outside of our church. Isn't that amazing to see that we simply appreciate God's creation just by looking at the blue sky and fluffy clouds and thanked God for all the beautiful things He has wonderfully created?

More of God's beautiful sky creation only here on

Valentine Gift Ideas for Hubby

Valentine's Day is fast approaching and its time for us mommies to reaffirm our love and faith to our beloved husband and have a romantic time together. There are ways to make our Valentine's Day special. Just remember that Valentine's Day isn't just about giving and receiving gifts. It is a special day where we should give some time to reflect on and share our love for one another.

A simple gestures of love like a simple phone call at work just to say, "I love you and you mean so much to me" can touch his heart in a very special way specially if you tell it more often to him and you always show your ways of your love for him.

You may also prepare your hubby's favorite food for the day, or perhaps teach yourself to do a thing he always wished you could, like learning a new recipe (yay! I was hit by this...lol!) just give a little thought and you will have loads of romantic ideas.

A surprise gift where they can associate themselves with is also a great idea. For instance you may buy books for those who love to read, music CDs for the musically inclined and clothes for the husbands who love to dress well. In case your husband loves electronic gadgets, you may choose from electric shavers, I-pods, mobiles etc.

If you're planning to have a romantic getaway, how about a spa treatment for both of you followed by a special evening together. So this Valentine’s Day, remember mommies, we just have to use our imagination. Just be creative and take the pressure off of him this year. ^_^

I Need a Break!

Grrr! this constant and painful headache is killing me. As much as Ive wanted to do my blog hopping today, I can't continue when eye strain strikes in me. I need to take a break and rest my eyes by taking a nap. I just hate it because it usually happens twice or even thrice a day. Whoa! It's really getting worse now that I have 6 blogs to manage and I'm still trying to renovate my new blogs.

Aside from having a blurry vision, dry and irritated eyes, these tension headache usually comes on during my computer work and shortly thereafter even if I am wearing my prescription eyeglasses and contact lenses.

I'm glad that a week from now my mom will be here for her holiday. Now I can have my eye break for awhile because I am also having my holiday. Yay! It's time for swimming at the beach, at the pool, dining outside, shopping, roaming around, traveling, eating and eating..whoa! and I love it! And best of all, I can relax my eyes and help alleviate this eyestrain and terrible headache.

Mobile Marketing - A Great Tool for Business

Since mobile phones are widely used by majority of people nowadays, with the sheer amount of hours spent in sending and reading texts, calling friends and family, reading e-mails and even accessing the internet, it is without a doubt that mobile marketing has become an important advertising tool.

It is effective because mobile devices are easy to use and for us, we usually do not want complications when it comes to participating in promos and contests. So the easier it is for us to send a message and reply to the promotional messages the better it is, right? I believe that Mobile Marketing is highly interactive, measurable, personalized, and cost-effective. It's features are helping many organizations to reach their target audience more effectively.

A Sweet and Romantic Photo Shots

The sweet and romantic photos above is my brother in law together with his lovely wife. This is their recent photo taken from their friend who is just starting to learn digital photography. Their friend asked them a favor if they could do some photo shoots since these young couple are addicted in making some photo poses. I just love these kind of photos specially when it is captured in beautiful natural setting like this. You could imagine the result of a creative photography in a stunning environment, right?

I hope hubby and I could also do some photo shoots like these... Hmmm but I don't think so because my hubby is not fond of posing for camera. It's just me and my little one who are so addicted in it. ^_^ 

Choose The Best Web Hosting Service for your Business

Choosing the best web hosting service decides the future of your online business as it makes all the difference for your business. But before you establish your own business website, it is important for you to read web hosting reviews before you purchase a web hosting plan. If not, you should at least learn how to read the reviews before you take the action because it is very important that you have to find the type of hosting service which is best for you.

There are plenty of web hosting companies on the internet today and it would be a difficult task to find out which one is the best that is why web hosting reviews could help you out. With the help of these reviews, you would get the unbiased ideas about the web hosting services from different companies and this could help establish your website in a better way.

Before you read the web hosting reviews, you should try your best to think about the plan of your website. It is important because you should understand what your website needs. If you want to establish an eCommerce website, you need to find the best business hosting from inmotion ratings since they are one of the top hosting companies that are trusted and reliable in helping business owners like you.

Therefore, you have to understand these things before you search for the reviews. This could help you save a lot of time and get the right plan quickly. Of course, having a successful website requires hard work all the time on top of purchasing the right web hosting plan. Thus, you should work hard after you get the right web host.

Black Fashion

Nothing beats the elegance, sophistication, beauty, formality and style of wearing a sexy black dress, right? Just take a look at the photo above of my sister (second from the left) together with her girl friends. Black color of fashion is indeed a natural classic color that never goes out of style. 

I'm linking this entry for this week's Photohunt Fashion.

I Want a Total Make Over of my Blogs!

One of the things that keeps me busy online is I'm spending more time in looking for a free template for my Word press blogs. I find it hard to choose the right one because I don't like the layout and design. As much as I wanted to try some other colors but I always end up in choosing the pink color themed layouts. Whoa! It's not obvious that I am a certified pink lover. lol!

Anyway, I actually want to have a total make over of my blogs where I can choose the right color, layout and designs based on my blog's niche. I also want that I can customize and personalized the header. A photo of mine for my personal blogs or even if its just a pretty girl template is fine with me. I also want a badge that's already included on the make over package. I have 5 new blogs from Word press right now that badly needs an overall and total make over. I hope I can find an expert that offers a not too expensive service. ^_^

Anybody here who knows an expert of this blog make over thingy?

What's the Best Wireless Internet on the Go? I Need You're Help Please?

Two weeks from now my mom will gonna be spending her holiday once again together with us. My family and I are so excited as well as our relatives and her long lost friends too. And since its her holiday, I am also having my holiday because I am her usual companion, bodyguard and chaperon... lol!

We are usually renting an apartment that's located near the beach every time she spends her holiday here. My mom is also a Facebook addict like me and I'm sure she will definitely bring her notebook and were gonna be having a dilemma again on how she can still get connected to the internet. We used SmartBro Plug-it Prepaid USB before but it costs us a lot since we always have to load it.

They said that P100 is equivalent to 5 hours of internet usage. What? are they kidding us? it only consumes 2 hours because of the very slow connection. My mom always ask me to buy another load for her internet. We don't want to waste our money anymore in spending several hours of having a turtle and crawling internet connection. 

Right now I am confused which one offers the best wireless internet connection.  Some of my friends recommends me to get the new Globe WiMax. I also noticed that some of my neighbors are also using it. I think Globe has a better signal here in our place. It's also cheaper compared to Smart Bro Plug it. 

But the problem is, I am going to bring it anywhere I go since  I have to use and bring my own laptop too. And just like the plug it USB device from Smart Bro, I think it usually depends on the area where the signal is fast and strong enough. 

I believe that wireless internet connections causes a lot of interference vulnerability. We are using Smart Bro wireless broadband before but we decided it cut it off because of the huge mango tree that interferes the signal from the tower to our place. 

I need your comments and suggestions about this my friends specially to those who are already using this wireless plug and play connections. I am planning to subscribe for a post paid plan and I don't want to waste money on this. I can't just simply disconnect it when I am not satisfied with their service because most post paid plans has a 1 year contract of subscription. :( I hope you could help me guys... I need your opinion please?  You're help is highly appreciated. Thanks so much! 

How Do You Manage Your Multiple Blogs?

Did you know that I already have a total of 6 blogs? Whoa! I can't even believe myself that I already have so many blogs. That's what keeping me busy these days. Ive been crazy in adding more blogs lately. As I am looking forward for this year with hope and anticipation, one of my major goals, of course, is to make more money. I definitely enjoy making money and anything I can do to bump up our family's income will definitely get my attention and due consideration.

I have 3 old blogs and 3 newly added ones.

My Life and My Journey Online - This is my main blog which will remain forever here in blogspot. I don't want to lose its PR4 rank so it will remain as is here and it will continue to accept paid opportunities from other paid to blog companies. 

My Daily Notes - my self-hosted Wordpress blog which was recently approved by Sheriff

Table for Five - my food and culture blog, recently on process of propagation and migration from Blogger to Wordpress.

Fashionably Trendy - my new fashion and lifestyle blog, self-hosted  from Wordpress too.

I Heart Them All - I recently bought this domain blog from Mommy Rubz which also self-hosted from Wordpress. It has a PR1 already. This blog will feature all the give aways, freebies, and online contests that Im also joining. :)

Kayce’s Online Diary - its another self-hosted Wordpress blog which will feature anything and everything that interests me just like my My Life and My Journey  and my Daily Notes.

The 3 newly added ones are still under construction and renovation since I have to spend lots of time in building these blogs. I actually find it hard to build my blog using Wordpress since I'm still learning and trying to familiarize its features, plug-ins, widgets and more. 

Running multiple blogs indeed takes a lot patience, devotion and a lot of persistence if you want to do it right. But if you take a look at its positive side, if you want to maximize your money earning potential with blogging, one method to do so is to set up more than one blog. Multiple blogs create a larger and more diverse stream of income if you monetize them differently and smartly.

If you noticed that most of my blogs are already self-hosted in Wordpress because I want all these blogs to earn from Payu2. Having more than one blog will bring in more traffic between each sites rather than having less go through a single site. Since I have 3 general interest blogs, what I usually do is I re-write the same articles. I'm also having a writer's block sometimes so instead of searching for new topics, I just re-write some of my articles.

Having multiple blogs can be a hard work, but it is not impossible. Just remember to brush up on your writing skills and participate in social bookmarking sites and pinging for more traffic and higher search engine rankings. There’s a lot of things that I’ve learned based from my blogging experience for almost 2 years now and because of that, it has given me the courage and enthusiasm to make another blog much more efficiently the second, third and now the sixth time around. I know it would still be a lot of effort, but the year or so I spent learning the ropes and getting my feet wet here would help me to get another blog up, running, and hopefully turning a profit in much less time.

How about you my fellow blogging friends? How many blogs do you manage? Do you plan to create more in the near future?

My Blog Finally Got Approved by Sheriff!

Thanked God that after several months of waiting, my blog finally got approved by Sheriff. Ive been waiting for this opportunity for 6 long months! Whoa! You may be wondering why it took me that long. Well, when Mommy Rubz told me that in order for my blog to get approved at Payu2blog, I need to have a self-hosted blog with Wordpress platform and it needs to be at least 3 months old. 

And since My Daily Notes blog that I won from her give away was still a new blog, I continue writing some posts there until it reaches 90 days old. And from that time, I submitted my URL to Payu's site. That took me another 3 months of waiting to get my blog approved by Sheriff.

I was surprised when I received an email last week from someone named Margie, saying that my blog has been approved! Woohoo! She asked me to send my contact details and paypal account email. She also said that I will receive a follow up e-mail within 5 business days with detailed instructions on how to use their system and how to start receiving assignments. 

Well, I was surprised that it did not took 5 days because I received the email the following day and after having my account running and active on that day, I already got a couple of opps. I was so thrilled because the assignments were rather easy and it doesn't demand a lengthy submission. Free form assignments are usually priced at $5, but I heard there are occasional $12 or $50 opps. I hope I could also receive that occasional high rate opps soon. Yey!

I am now planning to transfer and self-host my foodie blog, Table for Five to Wordpress and I'm also planning to add more blogs. Now I know why most of my fellow mommy bloggers have multiple blogs. More blogs means more money right?

So to my fellow blogger friends, If you are serious about blogging and serious about making money, you can sign up to work for them. They will only email you if your blog gets approved. If it doesn't,  then just keep working on your blog, write quality posts, increase the frequency of your posts, and submit it again. Although you need to have more patience, courage and determination but hey, it is worth the wait once  you're blog gets approved. Believe me, they really are the best blog company to work for.  ^_^
