Why does the sky seems so grey
Is it because of me
There’s no one left in sight
I feel the world closing in

Of all the places I’ve been to
All the people I’ve seen
People come and go
But memories, the memories of them cast footprints in my heart

As time goes by, I learn it’s all the grand plan of life
Of all the love and broken hearts
Of all the victories and battles
We’ll rise and shine again

I would like to thank those of you who sent emails, messages and comments to me during my absense. Sorry for being non-responsive, but rest assure that I read every single one of them. Your kind gestures really touched my heart.

Life is a never ending journey, I go on one step at a time, dealing the hands that’s been dealt to me.
Still in the thick of winter weather, but spring is nigh.

There were 2 people who came to my blog when they did the search for and ‘to mate wth a woman‘ and get this, ‘blogger with c cup breasts‘!! I almost fell from my chair when I saw that! Especially for the second one, ‘blogger with c cup breasts‘, I mean seriously?!! Apparently my blog came up for these searches as well. I think the 2 reasons that led to that were the bra-fitting article (with the word c cup on it I think), and the fact that I have a category called ‘WTH‘ (stands for what the heck?!), LOL. Well, sorry to disappoint those 2 confused souls ya. I think they must have left my site cursing because they didn’t get to see c cup blogger photos or info about mating with women. Heh. Sorry mates!

I was thinking maybe I should write something about the whole process, you know, from day 1, but binned the idea since I don’t want you all to laugh till you drop. Heh. Let’s just say dummy got a lot of help from some kind folks and TA-DA! Magic happened. There’s a lot of kind souls out there people, all hope is not lost. Thank you all, who have been helping me and giving me advice and comments. I really appreciate that. Do keep them coming.

Have been reading a lot into how to better my blog recently. Like learning what is SEO etc, things that read like Greek to me before. There are lots of resources out there. Google is my best friend. My motto is, ‘if unsure, Google it!’ (I think this is the best thing since sliced bread. Sad really.) I’m learning as I explore more into the different facets of blogging. The possibilities are endless. Can not believe how long I waited and contemplated before venturing into the blogsphere. It’s sufficient to say that I’m totally addicted. No need to take any tests. Heh.

Anyway, that’s what been keeping me busy. Busy is good, I need the distraction. So, power on I go! Pro-blogger, here I come. (ya, like that‘d be the day..heh.);D

Feel free to comment away on any suggestions or advice ok?!

Seriously though, I view this as a good opportunity to earn some side income and gain some much needed help in our finances. I thought about it hard before taking the plunge and signing up. I wasn’t sure whether I am good enough to deliver what they want. But as it turns out, it’s really not that hard. A few easy words, and you’re done! This gotta be one of the easiest thing to do with your blog, with money! I really love it! Though I have just started and only have written a few ppp, but the experience has been nothing but thrilling. The joy of getting my posts approved, the excitement of waiting for the money to roll into my account, pure estacy! It is really that easy. I understand a lot of people don’t want to let the blog advertising interfere with their original blog content but I really don’t see any problem, as long as you still post regularly. Why not get a little something back from doing what you love?! So, wait no further, jump on the ppp wagon today and start making some mola!

The blog author John Chow is a self-titled dot com mogul. The blog recorded his various subjects of interest, from his daily go-about, random thoughts to sharing his knowledge on how to make money blogging. Unlike some of the blogs with the similar content out there with dead serious tell-you-what-to-do ways, John uses a more approachable, easy-going tone. What came across the posts is a sincere, creative and humorous person with guy-next-door quality who shares his trials and errors of making money online generously. I really enjoyed browsing through his archives and have learned a lot about things like blog monetizing and Search Engine Optimization (SEO). As a newbie to the blogsphere, his blog really opened my eyes to the endless possibilities.

The only problem I came upon is the search function, its result is not specific enough. It’ll be better if it can be more specific. But nonetheless, a great blog not to be missed. Especially for dummy newbie out there like me.

I truly enjoy and learned many things from his site and hope you would too. Of course, the added bonus from him doesn’t hurt either.
