Starting fresh

Thanks for the post from Sylvester Campbell

Unfortunately, people do change. That’s what happened to my husband and I. We’ve been growing in different directions for about 3 years now and got to the point that we decided to go our own ways. Luckily, we don’t have any children, which makes this whole “starting over” thing much easier to swallow. We moved out of our apartment and each got our own place. I got a small house and have been learning to navigate the “homeowner waters” one step at a time. First it was closing on the house, then it was moving and setting up the utilities. The moving part was fairly easy because I had friends and family help me get all the big things moved in one day. The utilities took some time and patience. It was a lot to set up. Cable, phone, internet, gas, electric, water, etc. I bundled my cable, phone and internet- check. After researching New York Energy Rates, I chose my energy provider- check. Water was easy being finished with a quick phone call. The last thing I have to do, is finish unpacking the small things out of the boxes.

Serpentine Ang Pow


I got $20 from a relative with the ang pow above. Just loved the serpentine design of the dragon for the year 2012. I also got a 4-figure ang pow from my boss - in appreciation of my yearly work. Chinese New Year in 2012 is certainly a time to celebrate the many blessings that come upon my life with the various sources of income - regardless of the amount. I also just came back from Hatyai where I spend 3 days and 2 nights with my family - going for shopping sprees, dining and enjoying foot massaging.

Frostwire 5 - Download it

For those of you who love music and movies, you can go to Frostwire 5 - Download it now. I love watching movies and usually go to the cinema in the shopping malls for a good show. It is more expensive than watching on my laptop because of the surround 3D sound system and 3D images where you have to wear special 3D glasses on comfortable chairs. I get a 10% discount off the movie tickets due to my GSC Hong Leong Bank credit card which teams up with Golden Screen Cinemas for the promotion.

I watch a few shows a month, sometimes none at all if there are no titles that interest me. Normally I will go for Disney's shows, Pixar animated series or any heart warming flicks. I don't watch ghost, thriller or anything scary that may affect my sleep pattern.

If you are glued to your computer or laptop all the time, then Frostwire is the solution for you for your entertainment at home. I love working in a home office and have been doing it since February 2004. It is like being my own boss working in my pajamas without any colleagues spying or reporting me. My boss also trusts me to complete my work conscientiously at home and get the job done in a timely manner.

It is All About the Traffic

If you have high traffic, you can do well with Nuffnang and get more sponsored posts. I know this for a fact because some bloggers are getting more than $1k per month from Nuffnang. It all boils down to traffic and the number of visitors to your blogs. That is why you need to build a community of repeat visitors who will come and comment on your blog and create buzz. You also need to be consistent and maintain your blogs on a regular basis. Making money online is never easy and sometimes you need some luck and favor of God.
