Between Guest Blogging and Selling Articles

What transpired today is nothing out of the ordinary.

First hour after waking up, I already tired my digits and twisted my brain when I attempted to transfer my Chopstick Lady WP blog to Blogger in which I eventually failed and so I just decided to stay in the “blue and white” land of WordPress and said a faint goodbye to my Blogger.com dreams. Phew.

Throughout the day, I lingered in front of the computer screen (which by the way, is giving me dry eyes right now) and munched my way through sites, blogs, more sites, and a couple of games here and there. So far, I’d still call this a day – although I don’t consider myself as being very much productive. Good thing, I’m not going to miss today’s post for my NaBloPoMo challenge.

If I wasn’t really such a slob at times, I know I could have finished a lot of deadlines and even had spare time for my favorite game (Cityville). However, laziness knock on me this day and so I’ve just finished quite a few things – mostly unimportant ones.

At least, I was able to give my Blogger aspiration a shot, edited some of my blog posts, made profiles for StumbleUpon (yet to be updated), Digg, My Blog Guest and GhostBloggers, tweeted, “facebooked” and just explored the world wide web for some juicy stuffs.

So what really happened between guest blogging and selling articles?

I’ve learned a few things.

1. That I can invite someone via myblogguest.com to post on my blog and lessen my guilt if ever I can’t write for a day (evil grin)
2. That you can earn extra-money online by selling your articles (if you’re a writer) in GhostBloggers.com
3. I’ve discovered that the quote – “Individually, we are one drop. Together, we are an ocean.” was said by Ryunosuke Satoro (though I have not the slightest idea who he is, check out the link).

Seriously, I think I need a daily dose of Vitamin Inspiration.

One Year Free Web-hosting Giveaway!

Free…Free?Ahh, Free!

Does Gellie of the “So Gelleesh” blog possess ESP powers? How did she know I neeeeeed to have a web-hosting site for this (Chopstick Lady) blog I’ve just recently given birth to? Yeah, I know you’re thinking the same thing too! Apparently, I think I’m not the one who needs such free service – that’s why I’m sharing the scoop!

So Gelleesh = So Genuine

“So Gelleesh” is one of the blogs that I follow. I like the theme of the blog (beauty and fashion), the simple words that the author uses for her posts, and the fluent and non-exaggerated flow of her style ideas. In other words, I find So Gelleesh a blog that reflects everyday life – the typical events that occur in the life of a NORMAL individual fashionista. I find her blog so true to her personality because Gellie is so bold and straightforward when it comes to her fashion preference. You better check her out.

Free Web Hosting Giveaway

Okay, ’nuff for the praises. Gellie might think I’m giving praises to enhance my winning chances (duh, as if it’ll help?Winners win by random). Anyway, I’ll write more about So Gelleesh in my future BOTW (Blog of the Week) posts so you can wait for that. As of this time I want you all to focus on her blog giveaway – a free web-hosting for one whole year!

First and Final WP Blog (Or so I thought)

Note: C’mon, yet another forgotten blog? This is another of my past blogs that I’m now moving in here. Read my words, I just ate them all up! lol

This is it. Yes, precisely the last and final blog that I swore to myself I will ever make – at least until Worpress lasts.

I’ve created two other blogs in WordPress already, and two more from other sites but they were all shaken into nothing because I’m just so downright “slob-ish” to update any of them.

My first blog was supposed to be a guide about “freelance writing” as this happens to be my work. But I was too busy with my freelance work that I couldn’t even give a second of my time to update the poor little, deserted, spacious site.

Secondly, I created another blog entitled “I love Classic Books” dedicated to my love for – I’ve named it – classic books. I promised to myself that I will update it weekly and that I’ll never let it wither unlike the sad predicament that my previous site embraced. Unfortunately, I am one freakish liar to myself and so again my little I-love-classic-books site turned into where’s-your-classic-book site drama.

But then, let bygones be over. Right now, I am quite positive (fingers crossed) that I will stick to my words and dare live up to my promises that this “My Favorites” BLOG will survive – at least even for a year!

So what’s the catch with this site then? I’m planning to make this a bit of a drop box of all my favorite pieces in the world. Perhaps largely about classic books and what I have on my bedside table, a little about the products I use, and a fair amount of what’s on my mind.

I hope this works – because I really love to blog about things but time is one arrogant master, it’s so frugal to me . . . But it seems like I am on the guilty side of things, actually.

My Whole Life in Sentences

Right now, I was inspired by WordPress to answer these three questions:

I am actually sleepy already after having finished my previous entry of a thousand words and above. But then, something in these questions really perked me up and gave me an instant boost to make another post.

Hmmmmmm. . . . . Miss Universe-type of questions?

Let’s pretend I am a Miss Universe candidate who should answer the question:

Would you rather have one free trip to space or free international travel for life? . . .

What would my answer be?

Here it goes. . .

I’d rather have  the free international travel for life than the one free trip to space because I believe that the Earth, our home, is such a wonderful, beautiful, and amazing place – and not even a whole lifetime is enough for me to explore it.

(Then. . . . . . . .  I ranked fourth!) – Just kidding! wink

Now here’s the second question:

Cake or Pie?

Cake. There are more cake varieties than pie. Plus, I think it’s more “high-class” to eat cake in a restaurant rather than swallow a big chunk of pie in a picnic.

- And for the one I really like -

Write one sentence that summarizes each year of your life so far.

Okay, this one’s very exciting, but very hard to do. I mean, I’m not even aware what my life was when I was 2 years old! But since this is some sort of a challenge, I’d gladly take it.

Year:

1. My infancy period began on the 21st of November, 1988 and all I did was eat, sleep, poop, and grow up!
2. I’m not sure of I really know how to distinguish myself from the world during this year.
3. Fringster starts to say her first word – “Momma, big!”
4. I started nursery!
5. Kinder days with my best friend – Conrad were so memorable!
6. School, play, eat, sleep – I don’t care what happens to the world!
7. A year where I’ve found an enemy (I got bullied) but then I also found a bestfriend (Alexis)!
8. All my days sort-of revolved with school and my crush.
9.  I was a teacher’s pet, I guess?
10. Finally, I started being serious with my studies!
11. Those were 12 months of fun, laughter, acting, and craziness with my Grade 5 classmates!
12. Being a grade 6 wisdom student, life was a blast.
13. Saw my first love and became a flirt (lol).
14. Sophomore days: A mixture of fun and heartaches! =(
15. It’s the time I’ve handled a lot of LOVE issues.
16. This year was where my life as a high school student in all aspects was at its fullest (‘Guess highschool never ends!)
17. I’ve just realized that college is a jungle and even your one true love can leave you.
18. The year of rest and changes!
19. I was culture-shocked after transferring to another school but I’ve handled it well as a LADY.
20. My last year of being a teen (twen-teen…duh!) was spent always daydreaming about my crush (who ignored my existence) while trying to direct my attention to the Nursing topic of my teacher at the same time.
21. SNA and Nursing are the only two words I know of during this year.
22. This was the sickest, toughest, most painful year of my life where everything and everyone and every decision I’ve made just never fitted well on the picture – this was when my whole life crumbled but thankfully, was also brought back to life with the grace of Jesus.
23. … Still coming up this November 21, 2011 – so far, everything seems to be in place again.
