Speaking of my Year End Priority List, well, I am getting there. I have accomplished 2 out of 10, as of yesterday. At least! Haha!

1. Christmas shopping > I’m almost done with it. Bought 12 gifts for my Godchildren (all in all I have 18). These 12 are just around me so… There are 2 more lined up for next year haha! Anyway, they are not costly but I as I’ve said, I made sure that I will see a smile on their faces as they open ‘em. I hope!
2. Hair rebond > A treat for myself. I brought my mom with me and tagged my daughter along with us (well, there’s no one else to look after her, we had no choice!). Mom had her hair dyed + a hot oil treatment. Then, I asked the hair dresser to trim Derelle’s hair as well.

Warning: There’s not much difference from how I looked before the “rebond” day. Hahaha! I’ve been wanting to have a haircut, (above the shoulder) but just by thinking the amount that I’ve already spent for my hair maintenance stops me from doing so.

Anyway, here’s the “after” look hahaha! Please click here. Only if you want to see.

One of the many things that I do on my spare time is “listen to the radio”. To the radio built in my cellphone. But one disadvantage with a radio is that you only get to listen what is played at that moment. Unlike when you listen from a CD player (playing your fave music collection) or say for an example an ipod playing your uploaded MP3 collection, you get to choose the songs that make you feel good or bring you back to the good memories.

Just a while ago I was chatting with my husband. I told him that I have recorded Deye’s conversation with me but I am still trying to figure out how to download it from my cellphone, upload it to the PC and send to him. I know it’s simple but unluckily my micro mem card got corrupted and there’s no other way I could download it. That time my brother was out. I would’ve sent the media files via bluetooth. I was left with no choice but to wait till night. When I was finally done with the file transferring from his cellphone to the PC, I wanted to blog about it. I usually upload MP3s in imeem, and link it to the file where I am posting it. I had to search again for an online converter coz I had lost all my bookmarked sites last month. I whined about it. Hahaha! That’s a lotta work to do huh!

Today, as soon as she woke up, we discussed about her not-so-many listed items in her mind. I asked her a question “What do you want for Christmas?” and she came up with these things:

1. Chocolate
2. Doll
3. Computer
4. Computer
5. Computer
6. Computer
7. Computer Blue
8. Pink Dress
9. Blue Shoes
10. Green Socks
11. Nice feet for Mita

Please click HERE to listen. Yeah, it was recorded as planned coz I wanted my husband to hear ‘em hahaha! Dada, start finding a nice pair of feet for Mita ha? Don’t stop looking hahaha!

Since I’m not very good in choosing gifts for men, what I always do is ask the person receiving it on what he prefers to have, in any occasion. Christmas is nearing and few days after that, we’d soon be together again for a couple of weeks (at least that happens twice a year, not bad at all!). So I thought handing over the gift to him personally is a good idea, that way we could still feel the spirit of gift giving on Christmas day, even if it is done a little later. When I sent him the URL of 511 Tactical, I knew what he was going to choose. But then, I wanted him to personally choose what he feels is nice and suitable for him.

One good thing about my husband is he never asks for expensive stuff. He doesn’t care. And he wouldn’t mind even if it was bought along the sidewalk. I was right. He chose this pair of eyewear which isn’t bad at all, at least he can use it while at work. His work requires a lot of field work under the sun. In fact the last time someone came home, I also sent him a pair.

It was sometime around February (2007) when I first saw Ms. Dine’s blog through Kimmy’s blog. But even before that, I was already into blogging though the purpose was only for self-expression and I wasn’t hooked with it, actively updating everyday. After a few exchange of comments, I’ve found myself registering to Pinoy Moms Network. To cut it short, since it’s a  blog network for moms like me, I’ve met a lot of moms online (and offline). Visiting their blogsites became a part of my daily routine. It so happened that some of them were already into paid blogging. At first I was hesitant and my mind says how do they get paid when it’s done over the Internet. I am thinking it was totally unsafe disclosing your bank account (oh well that time I was not aware how PayPal works haha!). Imagine how clueless and dumb I was before. Until one day, someone had really proven that paid blogging really works and that they are paid much, blah blah blah.

Guess what happened next? I found myself buying a domain and had it hosted by a fellow mommy (Amore) who was referred by another fellow mommy (Feng). Did you just follow that? LOL! Submitted my primary blog When Silence Speaks to the suggested paid programs. Few months later, I am already one of those mommies getting paid to blog.

A year later, I managed to get 3 more self-hosted blogs. Two of them are already enrolled and approved into different paid programs like Paying Post.
