Blog Advertising Store Wednesday, October 21, 2009
As part of my paid to blog efforts, I am blogging with Blog Advertising Store. The site used to be called Paying Post, and I am unsure of the reason behind the change of name.
I have been browsing the site and find the blog posts very informative. My favorite post by far is the post entitled Quick Start Guide - Blogging for Money. It is really a must-read for anyone who wants to venture into the world of making money online through blogging.
The payout for other paid to post sites is like a week after your blog post gets approved, others pay after 30 days, but for Blog Advertising Store, they pay once your balance reaches $100. It is quite a feat, but they are doing this so that other bloggers who take advantage of the system are kept to a minimum. By taking advantage I mean those bloggers who delete the post after they receive payment, or those who use no-follow links after they get their payment.
I have not reached the minimum payout amount yet, but I am hoping that I do so soon. Like with other paid to post sites, I have read some negative reviews about Blog Advertising Store when it comes to payouts. I guess I will have to take my chances like any other blogger out there.

Algadon - A Free Online RPG Wednesday, October 21, 2009
If you are in search of a free online RPG that you can play, why not check out Algadon? It is a free online RPG where your character can perform and complete quests, do battle with monsters, fight with other players, and so much more.
In Algadon, you can buy different weapons, armor, spells, and feed your character with food to help you during leveling. As you progress in the game as with other MMORPGs, more quests, weapons, and armors become available. This pretty much means that as your character increases in level, stronger weapons and armors become available at your disposal.
Check out Algadon and start enjoying the medieval fantasy online role playing game today!

News and YouTube Tuesday, October 20, 2009
I am having a hard time digesting the news I watched on YouTube.
I was searching for an old friend of mine on social networking sites to no avail, so I decided to Google him instead. To be honest, this search was bought about by a dream I had a few weeks ago. He wasn't really the main character in my dream, but he just sort of appeared and I recall seeing him take off a black shirt. I saw the tattoos he had, and that was it.
I just recalled his last name today, so I searched in FaceBook and Friendster, but there were no results. I guess having two C-Sections really got the best of me. Google gave me a result on YouTube, so I watched the video even though the title said farewell.
I could hardly believe my eyes as I saw the pictures. It was really the person I was looking for. I had to pause and look at the pictures twice and thrice since I really couldn't believe it. The guy who made the slideshow of pictures said he passed away due to a motorcycle accident.
I still find everything surreal at the moment.

AION - A Review Sunday, October 18, 2009
I recently got the chance to get my hands on aion, a very new MMO out there. As I have played a lot of MMORPGs before, I was really looking forward to playing something new, and it happened to be the said game.
For starters, what I can say is a big whoa! Talk about detail! A look at the backgrounds, the scenery, the character detail, everything is amazing. Also, because of this, expect that not every computer (especially older ones) will be able to support this game.
Another aspect of the game that I like is that your character can fly. Of course, they can't fly all the time as there is a limit to the time you can spend on air, but it's a pretty nice thing to do, especially with all the scenery you can see in Aion.
Another thing I like about this game is the fact that your character can hold what is called stigma stones and use the skills of another class. In other online games, you can only use the skills that your character has but here, you don't have to be limited to the skills your character has. This is great because should PVP come along, your opponent will definitely be in for a surprise as soon as you whip up your other skills that they don't know about.
I also got the chance to visit the aion forum and it is another whoa! for me. The site is obviously very well maintained and the design is very detailed. It's obvious that the developers of this game have spent a lot of time not only in the game itself, but also in the forum where players usually hang out when they're not in the game itself.

Paying Post is now Blog Advertising Store Sunday, October 18, 2009
Over the past few days as I have been really busy with the kids, chores, and other online work, it is really just now that I have some time to really sit down and do some catching up on my blogs. As I visited the bookmarked links to my paid to post sites, I was surprised to see that Paying Post has now changed its name to Blog Advertising Store.
Everything on the site is pretty much the same - the web layout, my log in info did not change, and almost everything on the site stayed the same, except for the name. I am not sure as to what caused the change, but I am sure that it is all for the better and in time, bloggers like me will get used to the change, if they haven't done so already.

Great Articles on Web Articles Sunday, October 18, 2009
As I love to write, I also certainly love to read. Obviously, blogging is one of my hobbies and since this is something I love to do and at the same time make money out of, I want to learn as much as I can about it.
I came across an article that discusses what a blog is, and I am really glad I did. After reading the article, I am much more motivated about blogging and I am not regretting every minute or even hour I spend in front of the PC. This article made me realize how powerful blogging is and what an impact it has to the entire online community. Since almost everybody nowadays has access to the internet, whether it be from computers, laptops, PDAs or smartphones, blogging influences them in one way or the other. And I am glad to be part of this power that is widespread across the globe and in the entire online community.
I truly hope that all businesses will see the importance of having their own website up and having bloggers promote their products and services. Not because I will benefit as a paid blogger (lol!) but because their business will surely benefit from the word that influential bloggers can spread to their readers.
Now, I am off to reading another great article on what to do in the garden on November. Cheers!

A New Puppy Tuesday, October 13, 2009
Today, Henry came home with an adorable Shih Tzu puppy as a present for Keisha's 6th birthday on the 29th. After days and days of searching online, we decided on this puppy as a present for her. Complete with shots and PCCI papers, Keisha named her puppy Ron Weasley from Harry Potter. I'll be uploading pictures here and on my Facebook account after we've given him a bath next week.

Goodbye Saturday, October 03, 2009
Today I said goodbye to a great woman who has taken care of my kids for the last 5 years and who has raised my husband to be the great man he is. I also said my goodbye to the woman who has learned to love and accept me unconditionally despite all of my shortcomings and hangups as a daughter and as a mother to my kids.
I'll really, really miss my mother in law and I'll eagerly wait until two years is over so she can come and vacation here in the Philippines.
