Did You Know That Staying Up Late at Night Makes You Fat?

I beg your pardon? So that means, that those blogging addicts (like me) are putting on weights while having numerous sleepless nights sneaking in for apps? Do you all agree with these friends? I

BUT I AM NOT... DO YOU? Who can tell me if this is true if you have noticed on yourself or you can prove it or if this is yet to be proven or has already been proven to be true?

I know some of us have missing some point here: The longer we are awake, the more we eat and sitting at a computer is not burning many calories at all. Well, yea if we eat while blogging, definitely it will be especially we are sitting down for hours. Like me now, I just had a bar of Galaxy chocolates.. uumm yummy, if I continue doing this and will eventually makes a habit, then I will get fat!!!!

This is the other side of the story: While on the other hand, staying up later at night we'll tend to lose weight faster, because metabolism burns more calories than if we're asleep. Long work days will certainly make one loose weight. Seems that when the lights are off, our body is sedated by melatonin, and hunger pangs abate until we awaken.Assessment: This is far more productive than lying in bed wishing you were asleep, right. This is another story, another case - INSOMNIA.... But I tell you what, I am addicted to both daytime and night time! I mean, how can a person resist all those fascinating people, interesting stories and earning bucks in blogging! I could wander around blogosphere for DAYS. For example, my hubby is still at the lounge chatting while having some drinks with our friend who just got back from vacation, and it's now 1:30am and I'm STILL HERE. And having a great time! I really should log off now. No.......maybe later......hahahahaha ...

One thing that I know for sure, this is what happens to me after blogging....

Sunday's Dropping EC's, I Would Wish

I have been struggling of what our wifi connection had to give me at the moment! I was programmed to just drop EC's as much as I could on my 3 blogs, but it is not happening...uurrrrgggghhhhhhhh.....pisses me off...So I am here, sitting down waiting to completely download pages to be able to drop EC's, but I tell you what, it takes 5-10 minutes to do it....haaayyyyyyyyyyyyy...

Bear with me guys, you know how I wanted to visit your blogs and drop your EC's. Though I have managed to drop some but not quite satisfactory. Will try and try until I get to the top bottom...:)

I am near yet so far....

Introducing My New Blog - "Things I Did Not Know Before"

Its about 2 weeks now that I have been busy with my new blog, which is about the same time when I lost my wedding blog, well not necessarily completely lost (was just temporarily suspended)! I could'nt really help myself but to feel sad all the time, as I have missed it a lot.. imagine I used to flip through it to view my wedding photos and read my own wedding stories! This is all about anything I have just discovered myself through reading and my own experiences.

Anyway, when I first started it I have had a layout which was quite bright.......

Until recently that I started having eyes problems, so I decided to have just changed it... and here it is.... click here to view...

Join me as I discover new things in life, and sharing them with you guys is my great pleasure. Adventure isn't hanging on a rope off the side of a mountain. Adventure is an attitude that we must apply, to the day to day impediments of life - Facing new challenges, seizing new opportunities, testing our resources against the unknown and in the process, Discovering our own unique prospective.

My Wedding Blog has been Temporarily Suspended

I would have been informing everyone happily to change my Wedding Blog URL, to have recently purchased my own domain. Was so happy to have received this first email that Google had to send to me to confirm my purchase: "Thanks for buying from Google Apps using Google Checkout! Google Apps will charge and ship your order soon."

But 3 days after I received another email again saying that: "We were unable to verify the account information for your recent purchase with Google Checkout. As a result, your account has been temporarily suspended and your recent order has been cancelled:"

Order cancelled - Your card was not charged

This was mainly the reason why I didn't have any enthusiasm to blog these past couple of days, as I was so disappointed! Well, it is not really a problem, could have been worse if it was a different story, all I should be doing is to scan the documents needed to verify and send! However, the problem is - we are in the middle of nowhere, we have no access of our monthly billings, utility bills, etc... Had to ask my hubby's parents to drive up to our flat and get the corresponding documentations and scan for us, and it wasn't a problem either. The trouble is, the impossibility of my dad-in-law to drive, as he had just his arm surgery! Obviously, he could not drive.

Fingers crossed that his mum could do something about it, ask my hubby's sister instead to drive mum to visit our flat! By the way, my mother-in-law is too scared to drive that's why we can't ask her directly, because she can't do it.

I really missed my wedding blog.....I ask you to bear with me, and hopefully it will get sorted as soon as possible.

The Real Blog Mastermind

We all want traffic, aren't we? From just being a hobby, and sooner or later we all realize that it is worth paying much attention to it, and even buying and paying these traffic booster packages, which I think would only work on money generating blogs, like travel companies, wedding companies, etc...

Upon registering to any of these paying traffic boosters (software or any program), all companies are guaranteed to have the following:

• 24-Hour Guaranteed Listings
• Easy Online Account Management
• A Dedicated Account Representative
• Monthly Search Engine Visibility Reports
• Ongoing Optimization of Keywords and Ads
• And Much More!

I received an email this morning about "The Blog Mastermind", however, like us small-timer bloggers, with non-income generating blogs or websites, and like me who is not willing to pay that amount of money, OURSELVES, our own TIME and PERSEVERANCE - are the real mastermind of our blog. I must admit, we all want to earn money out of this interesting hobby, but there are loads of free advertising companies out there, joining blog communities to get and increase traffic, and simply write posts and pay out of our blogs and also earn by referrals. Some of these paying advertisers, referral programs that I have encountered so far, are the following:

1) Smorty
2) PayPerPost
3) Bidvertiser
4) Pay2UBlog
5) BloggersReview
6) BuyBlogReviews
7) Blogsvertise
8) SponsoredReviews
9) LinkWorth
10) ClixGalore
11) GlobalTestMarket
12) Amazing Solutions
13) A.W. Surverys
14) Webstars2k
15) Bux.to
16) Entrecard

Becoming A Full-Time Blogger

Blogging is pretty much enjoyable, fantastic to have been able to relate with other bloggers - they get ideas from you and vise versa, and making friends around is amazing. In my two months of blogging, it has really been very rewarding for me to earn money, well not just that, I mean reaching my potential to be a very good writer and a story teller makes a lot for me, and to have loads of friends.

There was never a day that I don't talk to my friends online, though I've been busy at work, but I always try to make an effort to even just say hello, making their day makes me feel wonderful. My friends are growing so fast, which I really feel sad not to be to talk to them sometimes. Then again, I never stopped wishing to be a full-time blogger. At the beginning, it was just a hobby feeling I had, but now my passion in blogging grows more and more everyday. Has it something to do of being addicted to blogging? I remember I wrote something about it, hope you can read it (just click the link above).

Anyway, I came across to read this inspirational story of the Mac Rumors - My Son, the Blogger: An M.D. Trades Medicine for Apple Rumors, really inspires me.

“Dr. Kim’s Web site now attracts more than 4.4 million people and 40 million page views a month, according to Quantcast, making it one of the most popular technology Web sites.

It is enough to make Dr. Kim hang up his stethoscope. This month he stopped practicing medicine and started blogging full time….

A question Dr. Kim often fields from friends and associates is, “How does that make money?” He answered the question in an entry on his personal blog last month. It can all be “boiled down to one simple accomplishment: building traffic,” he wrote. “That’s it. If you have a site that attracts a lot of visitors, you will be able to make money. On the Internet, traffic equals power, which subsequently equals money.””

Nothing wrong if I one day I decide to stop working and just concentrate on blogging.

Wished I Could Be A Full-Time Blogger

I made another blog just yesterday - a fresh one, it is entitle "Your Ultimate Guide of Having a Very Unique Wedding", and it is all about my experience in planning my own wedding. Well, all are very unique tips for brides-to-be, which I am very proud of sharing with and telling everything I have experienced in planning my own wedding. Indeed, it is good to experience of organizing your own wedding, not even having a wedding planner at all!

Anyway, so now that I have two blogs, it would have been very interesting and exciting (especially talking about all my wedding planning experience), to write posts all day long. I would never ever feel tired of doing it.

I just have no choice at all, all I do is to live with it - serving two masters at the same time - which are my job (daily task) and blogging. Well, I'll be alright.. for as long as I have time for both.

I really do enjoy blogging.....

How Much Addicted I Am To Blogging

I am 100% addicted to blogging...

Geeezzzz, am I the only one? Imagine, I haven't even reach a high page rank on my first one, the fact that I only started last June, and now I wanted to create another one? Is this normal? Anybody can help me to calm down a bit?

Anyway, seriously I am still going to create another blog - if this is about my life's journey, my second one will be about "dreams". The title would be "Don't Loose Your Passion to Dream" which is very interesting really. Basically, I will share in this blog my passions of dreaming and aiming for anything that I know for sure I love to do.

Aim high guys, it's free... Keep your dreams alive...

Your CAFFEINE Test after spending hours of blogging

The fact that we all spend long hours of writing posts, reading our communities' blogs, exchanging links, adding contact, making friends, etc,.. we tend to drink more caffeine containing drinks for us to stay awake while battling with our PC's.


Caffeine gives you powers. Take in enough of it and your twitching, vibrating body is capable of amazing feats. This highly scientific *cough* test determines your level of caffeine intake by measuring how fast you can click your mouse. The test will last for 30 seconds, during which you must click the button below as many times as possible.

To begin, click this caffeine test site to determine your caffeine level.

I Became Addicted to Blogging!!

I would say that I shouldn't listened to my sister when she convinced me to open a website that connects ever "filipina" anywhere in the world. This link talks about making extra income in blogging! Seriously, I really ignored it at the beginning but she kept on asking me about if I have read already about it. So one Sunday morning, I said to myself OK I'll give it a go... So I read only the bits about it, until there was one reply which if truth to be told did slap my face, and..... I register to one of these blogging sites mentioned to start...

Needless to say, yes I do enjoy it... I AM ADDICTED TO BLOGGING!!!

Do you want to know how addicted are you to blogging?... Just click the link to know how...
