An Enchanted Night with Family

If there's one thing i loved about Christmas is the the idea that we are complete in the family. My brother who is based on the other City will be at home and everyone seems to be joyous and happy. I mentioned our plan to visit a sough after Christmas village near us and that night happened sooner than expected. Since the brother bought along his car so we had no hassle going anywhere we want.

Before this year comes to an end allow me to post here our extra especial experienced as we visit an enchanting village complete with Christmas decors and everything that this season brings:

The entrance board

A snow filled Christmas

A lazy pose while mesmerized

Funny grandma..

Ohhh, i still have few more photos to share, maybe reserved it for some meme i join.  

To My One and Only Man

If there's one thing i can describe him, it's probably "wordless", why? Because i can't think of the right word that would perfectly describe him. You know the feeling of being taken care of despite the distance that you're currently dealing with. The feeling that everything will be fine coz you know you have someone to cross hand with. Of course, i always tells him that sometimes i feel bad celebrating special occasions alone and those times where you feel just being romantic and the thought that he isn't there just breaks your heart. Nonetheless, we all have different relationship tales. I want to say yes, he might be on the other pole but with all honesty, i never felt being alone since day one.

We had our own fair share of ups and downs. There we faced family problems, there he fixed financial shortcomings, and there he is when i needed comfort and strengths.Yes, i am so much grateful that i have a partner like him thus  it always cross my mind the fact that he has been so good to me yet he didn't asked for anything in return. True love for me is more than of that and basically it's when you know you have to give more regardless of what is it and expecting nothing in return, Ohhh yes, i had been in a long distance affair for quite sometime and the happiest i have so far.

To my one and only partner, to my comforter and lover - you know how much i love you and kept telling you that i will always be here no matter what. Thank you for bringing such unforgettable memories into my life and thank you for all the love and understanding. Above all, you know how much i appreciate your being sweet sometimes and all the effort that you've done for me.

This is for you...

PH One of the Most Generous Country

It's no surprise on me anymore when i heard the news about the recent survey. Well, on a more personal note i could see people giving to their neighbors even with their limited budget. I mean its so right to tag us as the most hospitable people and than being generous is a right term in general.

So, what the latest survey, here's an excerpt:

The Philippines shared the ranking with Finland, who also had a score of 45 percent. Meanwhile, Australia was ranked the most generous country with a score of 60 percent. Ireland, Canada, New Zealand and the United States rounded out the top five most generous, all ranking high in terms of donating money. Filipinos, meanwhile, got a relatively low score of only 32 percent when it came to money donations, but ranked fifth overall in terms of volunteering, with a score of 44 percent. This score is the highest of any other country in Southeast Asia. As for helping strangers, Filipinos got a score of 58 percent.

A Very Merry Christmas....

..to one and all. I hope everything is on set for the coming Noche Buena later. So, what did you prepare? Any sweets, roasted pig or fancy pasta recipes. I knew there's this thing in us to make this special occassion quite memorable. Ours too as we want to make it as memorable as possible no matter how simple our dishes are. So, my brother is already at home and taking charge of his other stuff. I had my nail pampering done awhile ago and to date, i am already done with my sweets. Quite excited for this eve's happening and i am grateful that no matter how simple the celebration what's important is we are complete and everybody is fine.

Really time flies so fast, i mean it's still fresh from my mind about last year Christmas celebration and here we are again preparing for another holiday event. I happened to remember a news figure expressing his thought on our personal views of holiday, he quoted that our celebration for Christmas depends on what happens on the entire year which basically became our benchmark as to how we perceive the holiday season. I somehow agree with him and let me say i am having a great holiday celebration. I don't have everything but i am simply joyous with little things that i have and i had.

This year was quite extraordiary for me. I celebrate few milestones of my life and i shouted for small achievement like for instance, this is the year that i was accepted by the most elusive pay to blog site, i had a good advertisement portfolio and i augmented my sites pretty well. Modesty, i also have invested out of my blogging money and more than anything else, i have learned a lot of things from blogging which i am grateful of.

I really hope that i would have a better blogging career in the coming year and more blessings to come..

Cheers everyone and wishing you a blessed Christmas!!!

Thank You!!!

A Simple "thank you" to start my post here. I knew i am so much blessed that i sometimes wonder if i deserve it. Grateful too that i manage to do all my tasks due and i am honestly satisfied. I will be very busy in the coming days so i might not give them my full attentions. Timely, as i was at my perfect mood. I was soo productive this week that as i've said i always have tasks to do everyday.

Well, i figured i was extra busy these past few days running online and offline errands. Yesterday, i brought my nephew to the mall to get her a good dress for Christmas and it was exhausting trying to oversee the kid while i was shopping for other clothes for my cousins. I am almost done getting gifts and hopefully i didn't forget any. Today, i will be getting a present for my family members and tomorrow i'll pick up my grocery. Good thing my brother brought his car so i don't have problem to transporting it. Hayst, extra activities are coming too as we planned to visit the Christmas village in the next town. The convenience of having the car is really a big help and the holiday is really making me smile these days.

How about you guys, are you all done with everything? Hopefully...

Avail of Payday Loans for Bad Credit This Holiday

In Need of Payday Loans for Bad Credit?

I understand dear as the coming of the holidays, expenses are skyrocketing. In fact, we seem to overspend on this holiday season that we sometimes end up borrowing just to make sure we will have a nice dish for the Christmas Eve. Quite not practical, right? Like yours, i seem to buy the idea of just availing loans on cases of emergency. Thus, in case you need one, do grab the chance to avail of online processing, anytime - anywhere.

So, i hope we will bear in mind the true essence of loans. I mean we fail to recognize that we do avail of it because we are short of financing and that we need to avail of other options because we're broke. Getting Bad Credit Personal Loans Online is so easy. In fact, there are sites that offer less paper requirements and speedy process. For instant cash, you can avail of Quick Bad Credit Personal Loans and i knew  a site that offers a quick and speedy process.Im actually talking about ulecomservices.com. A perfect loan resource for instant personal loans.

Sandy Hook Shootings: Our Condolonces

I was saddened when i learned the shootings incident at Sandy Hook Elementary School at Connecticut. The incident took away the lives of 20 innocent and beautiful children which was so awful to figure it out. I mean these children where just there to enjoy and learn new things unfortunately their lives were cut short because of an evil man.

I was teary eyed when i saw the parents patiently waiting for confirmation if their little tots was among the victims of the tragic event and i heard people screaming and going to nearby church to find solace. My heart is really grieving for the fact that these parents were not in control of the situation and that one fine day day, they just heard the new broke unto them - their child was no longer alive. See, how could a parent manage to accept that when you have all the hatreds and anger in everything that happened.

The Deacon just assured that they will be with them in their grieving moments and i certainly believe that our prayers will eased their emotional baggage's by now. I hope the authority's and lawmakers will find this incident not only a source of information but also a lesson to make way for a new law protecting our little angels.

Productive Week Again!!!

How many more days to go before the big day? Not sure but i knew the days seem to fly so fast.As of this typing, i already wrapped more than ten gifts and placed beneath our tree. Aside from my god children, i decided to give small tokens for the children i knew personally. I just thought, it will give then a smile for sure and those little amount may mean so much to them, anyway ive been so much blessed and i've promised that my earnings for this months will go to them.

Yesterday, i happened to be in the mood to shop and roam around. I found this pool set toy and i've been thinking that this little boy will surely feel good if he received this kind of gift. So, i get it and get a nice barbie for his little sister. They're not my godchildren but having known them for quite sometime then i think giving them a little gift will just make a difference. I had a great time wrapping the stuff i picked last night complete with cards and personal touch. I just want to make it something especial. This time, i make sure i get the best thing i can get to them regardless of the price, it's my own little way of giving out what has been abundantly given to me.

As with my online tasks, im not yet done still no matter how i try to finish them all, I still have few more tasks to do on my home and living. I published 4 posts today and im already tired. I need to get some fresh ideas first for the rest of the orders. In short, i had a productive week and hopefully more tasks to do still over the weekend.

Have a great Friday folks....

Mellow Yellow Monday

You probably are surprised what's with this meme again. Well, i certainly need to drive traffic to my sites and to get my goal slowly, i have to sign up with some blog meme dominating all over the web. I am already a fanatic of Wordless Wednesday and now this blog will host a Mellow Yellow Monday.

To start with, my entry for this week is the bright hue footwear i got recently, It has a big ribbon at the center and the nice design just compliment this pretty sandal. Here is it:

Loud Launch: Outstanding Customer Service

Loudlaunch has been in the paid blogging service for quite sometime and this very day i want to give them an extra credit for having had an impressive customer assistance. Of course, each site has a unique support staff but this site really amaze me much. They are responsive to every blogger needs, they have friendly staff and above all they give superb service to every advertiser.

In fairness to them, they are the only site that offers post editing and that they make sure that before the post goes live, the advertiser will benefit the most of every penny they pay for blog advertising. They also make sure that advertisers can get the most of the service. Talking about shortlisting top caliber bloggers and to that they make sure that their client's needs be broadcast in a portal where one has sufficient traffic. Apart from that, clients get speedy and fast transaction. They just have 48 hours to accept the post and same grace period to verify. It means that every time a post is assigned to you, in a matter of days the post must be live so as to serve the client perfectly.

To business owners who wants to experience the best blog advertising out there there's only one i can proudly recommend and that's no other than Loudlaunch. A big thumbs up to the staff. You're doing an excellent job.

Industrial Cleaning Partner

I buy the idea of efficiency and effectiveness of the product, rather than solely relying on the item's price value. I mean most of consumers will literally choose or pick an item that has a cheaper price tag since it means you can save few bucks, but what they fail to consider are the benefits and advantages that can actually be gained by choosing this product. Now, let's head on to the effectiveness of [dry ice blasting]. I used to wonder how this method was used and what's its huge benefit was compared to other blasting platforms. My uncle used to work in an auto repair shop. He is very keen on details and his output is really impressive in terms of getting all the work done in time. One time, he was working on this rubber mold and I was surprised to know that he had this dry ice blasting equipment. It was the first time I took a good look at what he was doing and surprisingly he adopted the recent innovation in mold extrusion. I was simply impressed as to what he was doing and upon research, I came to know that ice blasting is not only used in mold eradication but also to remove spores, to clean food contaminants and many more applications. 

There are plethora of ice blasting machines to choose from depending on your needs and it's intended applications. So, its imperative that you choose high quality, multi-functional, ergonomic and of course reliable equipment. Don;t just buy a brand you barely know. Trust your ice blasting needs to the experts in the field, and the good news is that you have a wide array of products to view. The question now is where? I would like you to head over and browse the collections available at icetechworld.com. This online resource simply gives you the best products and is very informative about ice blasting. You can't go wrong with them.

Earn by Publishing

There are endless possibilities to earn through the net and lately it's getting exciting and exciting. As a blogger, we are usually paid by doing reviews, placing links and maybe sharing our personal opinions on products that an advertiser wishes to market on our respective portals. There are few times that i was given free products in exchange of a review and it honestly gave me an overwhelming feeling.

This is the first year that i considerably called myself a blogger disciple. I mean i earned quite a good figure compared last year or the other year by which i wasn't that establish yet. I am not of course claiming that i am now but i could possibly say that i am doing pretty well on this craft. This year, i have augment my blogs inventory, did comparably more reviews, monetized my site well and of course i have more direct clients than i used to have and hopefully more in the coming year/years.

So, apart from earning through paid blogging. I discovered a site that pays just by publishing some guests posts and it's really exciting. Just consider copy pasting the article and you're done. No sweat. While, if im working on paid blogging, i have to research and construct good reviews so as to please my clients. Thus, my recent find is a big help.

When i started, i submitted my first niche site but was declined perhaps because it has more paid reviews than the usual link free article. Then, i submitted my second site and there it was accepted. Thankful that i have this site and decided to make it a niche. After bidding for few articles, my site was eventually noticed and i got few guest posts to publish. I already publish the first one and will just do some interim then follow the second one.

Well, the good side, i was paid already a minute ago and it really surprised since it offers fast and quick payment. Hopefully. more posts to come.

If you are interested to know what im talking about then do leave a comment and i'll share the link.

A Blessed Day Bloggers :)
