For my mother, I just missed you so much ...

Looking at the present photos of my mother made me realized how time flies and the thought of she's not getting any younger, brings me to tears, and I just want to say that I really missed her so much.

I know mama, it's very hard for you not witnessing us how we grew up right before your eyes, since you really have to work in a foreign land just to give us a brighter future ahead of us. It's been 13 years since the last I've seen you in person and it's heart-wrenching to realize that you're starting to grow older and yet, you're still away from us, working so hard just to support your family.

Mama, at this very moment I want to thank you and to say sorry as well.

I want to say thank you for all the wonderful things you have done to me. You're such an amazing mom, that's why I'm very thankful that God has given me such a wonderful mom and I couldn't ask for more. Thank you for your undying love and support. Thanks for all the encouraging words you say that really lifted up my spirit every time I feel so disappointed with myself and when I'm about to give-up. Mama, those words you uttered were just enough for me to really keep going and to try my very best to attain my goals in life.

I want to say sorry as well if I'm such a disappointment. Sorry for not being the best daughter, which I honestly believe you truly deserve. Mama, I just hope that anytime soon I could be able to repay you for all the great things you have done, not just for me but for my siblings as well. I will try my very best that in the near future, you will be proud of me.

Mama, once again, thanks a lot and I love you so much..

I missed this blog...

I haven't updated this blog for a few days now because I'm just too busy with other things and with my other blogs as well. And I must say, I missed this blog, lol...I am busy with my other blogs nowadays and actually, I created a new one, yes! I created another blog again and this time, it is in another platform. I decided to create another blog in another platform because I have read some articles that this particular platform is great if you want to monetize your blog, and as a matter of fact, it is famous among bloggers, most especially the professional ones, so I give it a try.

Actually, I'm still planning to buy a domain name for it next month, since I'm still saving money for it and it costs $17 if I will be using a domain name in that platform. I'm hoping that I'll still receive opps this month, in one of my blogs so that I could already move forward in reaching my goals for this year. Well, just hoping for the best.

Thia Megia made it to the top 24 of American Idol

I watched American Idol today and so thrilled because the top 24 will be announced today. And  yes, there is another reason for us Filipinos to celebrate since our very own Thia Megia made it to the top 24. After 3 long years since Ramielle Malubay was the last one who made it to top 9 of AI. The whole world will witness again how talented Filipinos are.

Thia is a great singer and to think, she is just 15 years old and already has that amazing voice. I just wished Thia will make it this season and be the very first filipina who wins AI. We Filipinos wished you all the best and we will support you all the way.

The difficult time for me..

As I am writing this, I couldn't help myself but to cry every time I think about my hard work that doesn't paid-off at all. I start to look for things on how to earn money online last August of last year. Since I am still don't know what were the real ways on how to earn money online back then, I tried PTC sites, which I think a total waste of time if you don't have referrals. I have been clicking sites for almost 2 months wishing that I could really earn money from it and I'm very optimistic then. But after 2 months of clicking ads each single day, I only earned .30 cents, which was not worthy of my time and the energy I've invested there. That's the time I decided to stop it and find more ways wherein I could earn real money from my hard work.

And I found out blogging is the best way to earn money online based on the articles that I've read. So I made a blog last October of last year and after a month I started to monetize it. To date, after 4 months of blogging I earned myself $90 already which is not bad at all for a newbie like me, this was from 3 of my blogs, the other 2 are in their domain names and the other one is a blogspot. So far, I could say blogging has really the potential to earn money on the web but it requires a lot of hard work, patience and determination, plus you have to love it. Yes, I can say I love blogging, this is the thing that I'll keep doing until I grow old. And blogging is something that I enjoyed doing and I'm glad I discovered it.

October of last year as well when I discovered a revenue sharing site wherein you can earn money through Google Adsense. Since I don't have an Adsense account, I applied an account through their site and unfortunately I was rejected by Google Adsense a lot of times. I even applied using other site just to get an account but it was only in Hubpages where I finally got the nod from Google Adsense after I published 7 hubs with 700 words each and that was December 31, 2010. I am just so happy since I knew it is indeed very hard to get your application approved by them and I was once one of those people who tried different ways and working so hard just to have an Adsense account.
After that I immediately linked my account in that site in January. I just started to earn after a few days after I linked my Adsense account. My first earning was a few cents like 0.04 cents and there were days I earned nothing. To date after 2 months of being active on that site, I earned $24. Despite of being active on that site, my earnings dramatically went down. There were days that I could earn almost 2 dollars a day but now I'll be lucky if I can earn 50 cents.I've spent above 10 hours  a day on that site and I believe my earnings should increase overtime. But today I earned nothing. This thing saddened me because I have invested a lot of my time and energy there. What I've earned now doesn't paid-off my sleepless nights just to be on that site.

I envy those folks there who managed to earn a few dollars each day and qualify for the minimum pay-out of less than a month of being active on that site. But in my case now, despite of all the hard work I had given, I think I could be able to reach the minimum pay-out after a year. Right now, I don't know if I still want to continue being a member of that site since I'm just so disappointed and so exhausted with it. Maybe I still need some rest first and I'll go back again. But I don't know if I can still earn money from that site again because my earnings went down dramatically and I don't know if it will increase anytime soon. These were my earnings for the last 5 days, 56 cents, 43 cents, 22 cents, 04 cents and now a whooping 0.00 dollars, to think that I was very active every single day and that's all I got. I'll post here if I still continue or I've stopped being on that site but now, I'm just thinking about concentrating only on my blogs and not on that site anymore.

What path should I take..

The result of the December 2010 Nursing Licensure examination was released this month and I congratulate the newly-registered nurses who passed and it’s great to know that your hard work paid-off. I have a friend who passed and I’m just so happy for her. She truly deserves it since she’s working so hard just to be where she is right now. I’ve witnessed how she worked hard, her sleepless nights really paid off. She is also very excited to find job since being a registered nurse was really her dream ever since and for her to land a job in a hospital as well. I am just so glad she made it along with thousands of passers.


I am also a registered nurse myself and passed the nursing licensure exam almost 3 years ago. At that time, I’m very excited to practice my profession and I was very happy the moment I knew that I did pass. But after 3 long years, things have changed. I went through a lot and I just realized that this profession was not really for me. That’s why now I’m looking for new opportunities and I’m also planning to go back to school or something, but for now I'll still have to think a lot of times if what things to pursue.

A gift for my baby...

I went to the store this afternoon to buy something for my daughter’s birthday. I’m just so excited in preparing it, even though it is just a simple celebration with my family and friends, I will make sure that my daughter will be very happy on that day. Every time that I prepare something for her special day, it really brings back the memories, from the days that I carried her in my womb until the moment that I gave birth. I just can’t believe that she is turning 4 years old now. Time is just so fast and all I want to do is to really spend a quality time with her and treasure each single day when I'm with her.


Since I really want to buy a special gift for my daughter and I’m looking for some unique stuffs, I just visited the site wherein my friend purchased a cosco car seats for her babies. And I've seen some cute toddler rain boots there, and I just can’t wait to buy it because I’m sure it would look cute on her, especially now that it's rainy season, she can really use it when she goes to school and I'm sure she will be very excited to wear them.

I'm not interested about the program for registered Nurses

I just heard it in the news that the gov't is now doing an action to stop the exploitation of registered nurses in the Philippines. This thing was already present a couple of years ago wherein nurses are forced to pay a certain amount just to have a training in a hospital setting. And a lot of nurses do this stuff in order to earn some experience and to practice their  profession as well. I haven't experienced it since I don't have enough money to pay for the training fees which costs 2,000 and above. However, my only option was to volunteer in an ambulatory hospital,since it's too impossible for me to land a job.

I passed the nursing board exam last 3 years ago, so that was July of 2008. And it took me a year to finally find a hospital where I can volunteer and  practice my profession. So, if it's a volunteer, it means I'll be receiving nothing from my service, no allowance and the like. It's frustrating, and our situation really saddened me since I really need a work badly, because I want to help my family. They have invested money just to make me graduate in this course since nursing course is a very expensive course that costs a hundred thousand a year. It's so sad that right after passing the board exam, this will not yet serve as a ticket or will guarantee you in landing a job.

Everything that had happened with this profession, really frustrates me. Yes, I've heard on the news that the gov't is doing something just to help those nurses who don't have job nowadays. I'm still not interested with this program since the other program for nurses that was launched by the former pres. Gma was not successful and I've heard a lot of horror stories about it. I'm not interested in applying in the program and I think, I'm not also interested in pursuing my profession anymore.
