How do you know if you live in a remote area and the place they call city is not like a city? If you forgot about traffic and busy streets, not that I have anything agains't it, but if you live in Iriga City, you may just find it rather refreshing in so many sense. Walking the streets worrying about getting mugged is the last thing you would had in mind. Its fairly safe, sometimes, kind of unpredictable. Iriga is not your typical suburban place, a suburb would be an improvement, far better. The young iriganeous are majorly influenced by modern pop culture while the enot so new generation wants to keep iriga as it is. I dont blame them, The metro is just crack.

Heart

I love watching the Passion of the Christ by Mel Gibson. The cinematography was superb and it gives me the chills, there is something about the whole movie that makes you feel all sorts of emotion. It has all these sorts of elements, that is packed into one whole movie where at one point you'd feel kind of happy, some scenes were scary, some funny, most of the time as you watch it there's gonna be a tear jerker, it was absolutely brilliant. Props to Mel Gibson for having an amazing vision that materialize and that is the passion of the christ.

Affiliate Marketing for Dummies

If your anything like me who well, not hate, but just dont like working for anyone and if you enjoy the internet as much as I do. Then you and I have something in common. I would say, I wish I learned more about navigating the web and working with advertisers and publishers as a means of monetizing or just simply adding more value to what you do-blogging. My head is gonna crack learning about affiliate marketing and how to go around it to effectively use it as a devise for promoting an ad, program, directing a link (SEO) or whatever I could do possible to promote my site. I see a lot of potential of bridging my content among sometimes warped cyber pathways to be searched and for people to read, and If im lucky enough; to gain followers. All these just gets crammed up in my head and for one second I thought, its either im not doing it right or I just dont have any idea how to optimize the value of my site, or could be both. I continually search for convenient ways to optimize my site and get the the know-how on working with advertisers, affiliate marketing and Search Engine Optimization (SEO) in general, and placing ads. The list could go on and on and I do not mind learning everything possible for me to get on with the program. Hopefully, I could get a practical way of generating income on websites/blogs through an easy step by step material that has much to offer than just the basics like what a typical guide on affiliate marketing for dummies book could provide. (although that would work for me as well).

Entry 1

I have so much time and I couldn't think of anything else to do but write. I applied for an online writing community as a freelance web content writer and I have yet to hear from them when to get the assignments as they said, response is to be expected in less than a week, it's only been 2 days. I hate the feeling of so much anticipation, it is killing me. Its not just the assignments I am worried about, its everything. I am reminded of the feeling I had December of Last year, when I felt like things are looking good for me. I couldnt wait to grab new oppurtunities and finally experience a new high. Im no chinese, but I dont know why I am fond of reading anything about feng shui or horoscopes, its just so weird that i can relate to it really well. Well, its the year of the ferocious tiger and I was born with the same animal symbol, what I thought would be a good year for me, didn't quite start off well. Oppurtunities were all over the place, I picked em up, they just slipped right out of my hand. I was devastated. To make matters worse, my grandmother recently had a heart attack. Thankfully she managed to recover, but the damage is done, literally. Portions of her heart muscle died down due to deoxygenation of the heart tissue caused by inadequate blood flowing through her heart. It is just as worse than it sounds. She is recovering well, but her blood hemoglobins were lower than normal, so shes taking medications to remedy and address all these problems. We are just trying to prevent her from getting a second heart attack. So I pray really hard for her to fully recover and for God to relieve and spare her from another heart attack.

The silver lining...

Im gonna pretend that I do not feel bad about turning down an amazing job offer. Working directly for a US research company in my own home doing web discussions with the CEO and executives?, that sounds like music to me. My grandmother recently had a heart attack she had been hospitalized for a week and she is slowly recovering. She might need to submit herself for an angiogram to determine the extent of the damage on her heart muscle caused by the heart attack. I am hoping that it would be minimal and that it does not require any surgical intervention. Anyway, I had to turn down the job offer because I have to accompany my lola to manila for the angiogram. I tried making amends and weigh things down, but of course, family on top of anything.

On board

"Hope springs eternal", I love imagining success and what not experiencing them. As much as I hate doing nothing and being idle, being crammed up is something that makes me want to eat those words and backtrack. I got so many things going on and am surprised I even have the time to update my blog. But I guess I get some form of relief or gratification in writing. I will just see how I am to do this coming week, i hate to admit it, but I am really bad in working with intense schedules. My determination will be put to the test, I am talking about major responsibilites, juggling between work and family responsibility kind off gets me off guard. I do not want to upset or disaapoint my boss especially that I will be working with him miles away. It is both a good and a bad thing, working at home, because it just screams convenience in some sense, I have to become completely independent especially in terms of troubleshooting or on making decision. I do not want to be micromanaged. I dont think it will be wise to "test the waters" on jumping into this business venture as legalities are involved and it all boils down to being drawn to earning US dollars. What can I say? Its the next best thing to working in the US.

Life...

This week will surely be personal for most of us who are deeply spiritual. I watched the 14th lenten recollection that was aired on national television this afternoon and it was headed by Father Jerry Orbos. Usually, i get tired of watching the "sharers" doing, well, sharing their experiences and anecdotes that never seem to end. It was particularly different this time as I got hooked up with their stories and I could tell it was genuinely heartfelt. With a lot of them have gone through the toughest of times, you as the audience would find yourself indifferent from what they've experienced. Hoowww! I may find myself contemplating on a lot of things this coming week. I particularly liked what father jessie orbos said about the good news and bad news and I qoute " the bad news is, when you go home, nothing has changed, same faces, same problems. But the good news is, your views and perspective in life will change, and the best change in your life, would be you".
To say that Life has been difficult for me is an understatement. All people would feel the same way. Although rich people wouldn't dare admit, im pretty sure their lows are monumentally similar with ours. One sharer said that she no longer sees trials and mishaps as punishments for all the wrongs she's done but blessings. It bothers me that I know this for a fact and its extremely hard to believe if your clouded with negativity and hopelessness. God is out there, we all are living testaments of his existence. Let us open ourselves to him and be happy.
