Ride Money Carpet

I never believed before that blogs could be literal gold mines. My aunt was actually prodding me to start a blog when I was having my vacation-study in Korea. I had lots of free time there to maintain my blog and update its contents everyday. But I was stubborn. Earning from blogging is just too good to be true. It is also too easy to be real. Now I am regretting. I should have started my blog since the blogosphere was just in its inception. I was late in entering this rat race. But this blog is definitely reaching the stars with its ability to generate profit for its owner. It is a Paid to click blog, full of advertisements and links to services that could lend an opportunity to bloggers to earn big bucks. If you want to augment your income from accepting opps from payu2blog or from whatever site, visit Reaching the Stars blog and you might find additional ways to earn money.

Can You Catch a Fly with a Pair of Chopsticks?

Filipino children are generally fascinated by chopsticks. When I was young, I used banana-Q sticks as chopsticks to eat ramen and canton. 15 years had passed and I lived in a country where chopsticks are used in picking up foods...
There is a Chinese saying that if you can catch a fly using a chopstick, you could do anything. And I cannot pick even a chunk of radish using those two metal rodlets. T__T So I browsed the net on how to properly hold a pair of chopsticks when I stumbled upon PuNiaoPuNiao blog. She is Chinese, obviously, and her blogs are about things Chinese and Japanese. I think her blog is also a money-making one. Though there never really is a reference on using chopsticks properly, I think this site was helpful to practice some Hanja characters I know. The layout of this site is quite good, not cluttered, simple—just like the Chinese. I also adore the banner message:
Chopsticks: A delicate hand and a patient mind will ultimately nourish your soul.

Haiku Mum

I really enjoy the thought and the reality that moms nowadays are able to make the most out of the internet. I have stay-at-home mommy friends who are full time bloggers; they do not need to depend on their husbands to buy them kikay stuff. Some SAHMs could even support their husbands with their income from blogging! Yeah, just like my aunt. I again stumbled upon a great mommy blog, but I think it’s not a money-making blo--just one that’s intended to exercise the vocabularies and write the stories of mommyhood. You can find in Harmony in Motion chronicles of a mom’s journey with her husband and her daughter Maggie. There are lots of pictures there that you’ll surely find cute. But what’s quite unique here is her Haiku posts. If you don’t know what a Haiku is, it’s a traditional Japanese poem that’s made up of 3 lines with 7-5-7 syllable-rhythm count. I think this mom could really make good haikus!

My Psychotic Heart


It is very difficult to harbor Mutual Love, especially if you're not sure that the other person shares the same feeling. ML is a psychotic hallucination of the heart, a mirage that you'd like to capture only to find out at the end that it indeed is a mirage--nothing more, nothing less.
전 진짜 미친다! T__T

The Green & Leafy Blog

I am really amazed at how the Internet is being used for desirable ends. Information is power, and easy and free access to it can guarantee a net benefit for society. I happen to stumble upon Nisha’s blog, which is about Pregnancy and parenting, childbirth, parenting and women and child issues. One can find here healthy recipes that anyone might just enjoy, especially the kids. Topics range from not-so-commonplace to ethically contestable: Parenting issues like MJ’s bad parenting was blogged about, why sex determination in India is banned by law, and children’s rhymes and songs are some of the niceties that you can find in this blog. Layout-wise, Nisha’s “motherhood” blog also offers a refreshing place to lounge at, especially with the fresh green theme color that signifies new life.

Catching Up is Hard to Do

I really think that I should brush up on my Korean studies. All my Korean friends are dying from studying English day in and day out and I'm terribly lagging behind the war on new language acquisition. T___T

지금부터 전 한국어 문법을 배우려고 해요. 저에게 도음을 줄까여? ^^;
엘리엇 씨, 빨리 따라가세요.
