last for 08

hehehe, many things happened and Christmas na! Didn't have much time to visit blogs and to do some sponsored posts (there were offers, sayang... tsk) but it's ok. hehe. I hope to learn more things next year. I'm getting to know Joomla! (not referring to anyone, but the cms lol)more. I miss Wordpress too. I want to see 2.7.

A graphics tablet would be a good gift. That's all i ever wanted since i joined deviantart last 05. (Not really ALL - i wantED a scanner too for my drawings.) hehehe.

Anyway, i hope 2008 will be a productive year.  Thank God for everything. For everything that i've achieved, to God be the Glory! :)

HI to you (you reading this), Merry Christmas, God bless you.

*i've typed some stupid words here, that i deleted, nonsense, haha.*

harhar. I've been working for a month already, thank God. :) The people are nice, the work is ok. :) When will i make the design for boatsong, wheeennnn!? I plan it to be an art blog.

Hi to every online/offline friend reading this. God bless.

~joy :P

Half Room

Been busy for two weeks already, now i have to manage my time well. I can't even fix this blog's design. You see the bottom of the two div's are not yet finished =)

Some pictures:

bulletin cork board

reminders for interview. lol

Mags, pencil, Bible, sketchbook, etc.

I collect name tags, that's my name!

Eyeglasses

I'm still thankful because even though i face the computer monitor for many hours a day since the day we had a computer, my vision has not been affected much. I know some people who doesn't even use computers often but has worse vision. I am using eyeglasses now to see from afar and sometimes when i'm using the computer.
If you're looking for high quality, great eyeglasses for less, you can visit Zenni Optical. There are variable dimension frames from Zenni and they are of different colors and styles. Also, Zenni Optical was on Fox!
=)

Plate Numbers

I have a recurring dream of driving a car and i don't know the reason for that. My brother surely wants to have one and i don't know when would that happen, he still has to pass his board exams before that. I can imagine his future car, all shiny in black, maybe with his initials in the plate.
I think it would be great if car owners can freely select their own private plate numbers to match their personalities. Through the site, Personalised Number Plates, you can search a wide selection of private number plates and choose what's fit for you. I think this is a good service because they will also do the paperworks for you.

Blogging: Yesterday and Today

This post is about my blogging experiences or observations when i first started it last 2004 compared to when i came back, 2008.

I started the interest for websites when i was in high school, i played around MS Publisher and made an offline site about our high school class. When i was in my second year college, i saw my classmate's xanga and became interested with blogs. I used blogspot and then was hosted by some kind private domain owners. I remembered i had subdomains in, dynamikz.org, brokensonnet.com, fall-out.org, I think those domains are nowhere to be found now. I became busy with school and church so i stopped at late 2006 until i ended my college. I tried to make some blogs but they were not succesful. I came back after college and the blogging world became a little different.

BEFORE:
1.) My online friends are people with the same age as mine (at that time), teenagers and talented aspiring artists.
2.) We design our own layouts/themes and i was looking forward to see new designs almost monthly.
3.) Tagboards were empty or half-empty. XD
4.) Blogs were more diary-like, people were quite emo.
5.) No-no to advertisements.

NOW:
1.) My online friends are people of different ages, mostly 20 up like me.
2.) Most people use pre-designed templates.
3.) Tagboards are busy and often victim to spamming. XD
4.) More information in blogs, lesser personal stuff.
5.) More advertisements, more possible earnings.

I think BEFORE still exists it's just me that shifted from BEFORE to NOW or this blog is actually a mix. BUT still, we can not deny the change that online marketing has done with the blogging world.
-----------------

I have 450+ MB unused space (for now) in boatsong.net, i'm thinking of having subdomain hostees but i have to learn about it before accepting hostees.

Earnings Update

I discovered the possibility of online earnings 3 months ago and i stayed with paid writing and blogging. For now, I only write for Ciao.com and Triond.com.

TRIOND
I wrote some articles and they're gaining some cents per day. lol. I don't write often so it's ok. For some articles, about 7 articles, i've been paid $3.95. And i haven't written anything in the whole month of September.

CIAO
I gained $5.62 in my first month with 5 simple reviews and some ratings for other members. I just tried this if they are really paying, and they did pay me. They pay if your account reaches $5. So i'm focusing on Ciao now because it's quite easy.

-------Join Ciao.com--------

PAID POSTS
I'm just starting on this, i think my blog is ready and i've signed up to the sites three months ago. I'm now on Buyblogreviews where i've never won a bid and just starting out in Socialspark. Any tips for me? thanks.

Just these, i think i had a good start.
