Blog For Money.

I just finished doing my rounds over my blogger friends’ turfs. I’m glad to hear that their Halloween break last week, albeit brief, went well. A lot visited their departed ones’ graves, brought their kids to trick or treat parties while some just rested at home (like me) and took the chance do paid blogging (like me again). I noticed that several of them are dead serious into it and in fact, they’re all earning well. As I’m one of them, I can attest that it really is easy to blog for money. All it takes is just a fraction of your time and just blog about the things that you are interested in. Isn’t it nice to get paid while just blogging your opinions?

There are several paid blogging platforms that I’m doing blog advertising for. One of those that I recently joined (and got paid right away) was Smorty. Joining and maintaining an account is actually easy. You just have to have a blog that must be older than 3 months and must be indexed by Google or Yahoo. Provided the requirements are met, blog and post approval will be approved within 5 days. What’s unique and make Smorty different from the other platforms is that it has a unique blogger ranking system where your PR rank and its own smart score system are combined to determine volume of offers that will be given and how much you get to be paid. Better check out their site for more details and start to get paid to blog as well.

Enchanted Weekend.

I haven’t blogged about our fun outing last weekend (which unfortunately caused my scary spotting episode the next day). My in-laws’ pre-school had its annual educational trip for the kids and for this year, we went to the National Shrine of St. Therese of the Child Jesus (the school’s patron saint) in Villamor Air Base, the Philippine Air Force Aerospace Museum and of course, to the delight of the kids, final destination was Enchanted Kingdom.

Well, I guess there’s not much story to relay since the preggo me just strolled around the park, watched how everybody enjoyed the rides, took pictures and watched the Halloween parade. Anyway, I had my own version of fun naman….food trip!!! I had 2 servings of tacos, a ham sandwich, squidballs, hotdog sandwich…delightful indeed! Besides, I was not the only one deprived to enjoy the rides as I had a company in my sister-in-law who’s also pregnant. We just chitchatted and roamed the shops in each of the park zones.

Here are some of the snapshots we took:

I realized I haven't posted any preggo pics of mine. So here's how I look like at 5 months from afar. In fairness, I'm not that big pa noh? Hehe! Haven't had yet any close up pics of my bulging tummy..LOL!

The Plastic.

Like most people, I own several credit cards but I only maintain and use a few of them. As of my last counting, I have six all in all and I’m planning to cancel the 3 latest ones I received since 1.) They were sent without me applying for them 2.) Why would I pay for annual charge fees if I don’t really use nor I plan to use them? Actually, I’m doing this for control purposes so I won’t be tempted to shop and swipe madly. Lol!

There are actually several types of credit cards being offered nowadays. Among the popular choices recently are those 0% credit cards where one can avail 0% interest rate on any purchases made and those that offer introductory 0% balance transfers. Another type is the rewards card where earned reward points are redeemed towards items from their own catalogue. Well, owning a credit card has indeed its perks and advantages. It’s just up to the holder on how he/she manages the usage of it so as not to end up with a bad credit and choosing the right type of credit card maximizes the benefits and perks of owning one.

DSD Today.

If you are a digiscrapper, I bet you’ve started storming your favorite digiscrapping sites taking part of the sales, chats, challenges, contests and freebies. Why not, there are lots of fun stuffs going on today as the digiscrapping community is celebrating today the premier Digital Scrapbooking Day. Well, I’m controlling myself not to look around my favorite shops that much as I don’t want to be tempted to buy any goodies yet. Probably I’ll just start resuming my digishopping when my own Paypal account gets credited by next month. Nevertheless, I’m still taking part of the DSD…actually, I’m just taking a break from the Scavenger Hunt at Sweet Shoppe Designs. Given with visual clues, we’re supposed to hunt them down in the shop with its correct kit name and designer. There are 30 goodies to find and I’m still lacking 5. Arrrgh! I’m getting cross-eyed already but I have to get going. A sweet reward will be drawn from all correct submissions. Wish me luck!
